I don't even know when I started this project. In my mind I can track it back to at least 5 moves ago, so that is right around 2001. I have been chipping away, adding cards, and after I picked up my personal white whale in Eddie Brown, the end was near. When everything fell together for this card it was too hard to pass up.It was listed for a ridiculous $299.99 from big-time PSA seller 4 Sharp Corners, then reduced down to $90.99, still a little high, but everyones favorite online auction site had a 20% off everything discount, good for a savings of $18.20. Figure that in with $6.00 shipping to Canada, made an expensive card, but something that fit in the budget.
The next step is to get the complete team set all in PSA slabs, but that is a long way off, but should get closer fairly soon.
Congratulations on the purchase, it seems like a lot, but you gotta do whatcha gotta do to finish your set!
ReplyDeleteYes! That's a win in my book. Enjoy it!
ReplyDeletecongrats! those eBay coupons are life-savers. or they make me spend money when I ordinarily wouldn't. one of the two.
ReplyDeleteA great pickup. It is funny, but many collectors do not realize that vintage checklists are difficult to come by in a nice grade because they are usually marked. I hope to some day pick up the Steve Largent rookie from the Mexican set.
ReplyDeleteGreat buy. I just grabbed a couple of pieces from them as well. Big discount
ReplyDeleteAs a checklist guy, albeit baseball, that's fantastic!
ReplyDeleteVery cool. Congratulations on this awesome purchase!
