Ha , I passed on that for days as I was waiting from a response from the seller. Never heard back from him and now you grabbed it. I think it was a good price.

Yeah. For 30 bucks i figured why not. I am slowly working on picking these up if i can get them for a decent price. Starting to regret parting with my Piazza, Ripken, Griffey Jr, Molitor and Jeter. Going to be hard to replace those for a respectable price. But in no rush. I wondered how long that one was sitting there. Hopefully it is clean with no refractor lines.

Nice!

I should have my steal of the year arriving today (it came early this year) - '90's 1/1 style. I'll update later.

They arrived and in-hand. A 1/1 mailday x3. Someone scooped up the Kapler right before me. Player selection is poor but they should fund my recent Palmeiro splurge. I remember seeing a Hentgen go for $200+.

A few observations, the holo-foil held up terribly. Some obvious splitting on the surface and they don't appear to be your typical scratches, more like stretch marks. All were stored in appropriately fitted screw downs.

Also, the Frias appears to have missed the holo-foil coating - though it's hard to tell in hand.

I just threw up in my mouth a little bit when I saw how little that Kapler went for. He's someone I regularly search for, and that seller is someone I bought some very very underpriced cards from in the past. Nice pickups on the ones you got! I think not everyone gets that the 1/50 is a different card than the other 49.

When I realized the Kapler sold close to 10 mins prior to the other three, I was surprised they were still hanging around. Of course, all this happened without probably 15 mins of being listed.

Just got around to looking at the prices on the Longevities. Great buys. Hard to beat. Surprised the seller ended up with 4 and didn't realize the pricing.

Also, re:Kapler, I've somehow managed to accumulate two of his '99 Topps Stars Bright Futures Foil /30 (1:2702!!). I haven't made any progress on this set since hesitating on a Troy Glaus. If you need it, PM me your address.

Not at the moment. Sorry. I am slowly collecting these right now and i already regret getting rid of some that i had. The lesser chased players seem to be harder to find. I will keep you in mind if I think about moving them though...
