What, election killed this thread?

I was thinking about sinking some savings into a NNOF finally, so I was watching the PSA 9 NNOF that ended last night to get an idea what the market might be, and maybe I'd get drunk enough to throw a bid on there. I don't follow the card very closely, so the final price was actually fairly shocking to me. I figured $5000, maybe $5500 tops, so $6838 was quite impressive to me.

I agree. I would have bid closer to $5-6k but nearly $7k is just too much IMHO.

I will be listing a 1998 Pinnacle Epix Orange PROMO sometime Sunday December 14th, 2014.

Hey guys - I remember really enjoying a Frank collector's website several years ago. He had great write-ups about some of his more interesting or rare cards and the stories were great. I can't seem to find the site any longer. I hope it hasn't disappeared. Can someone point me in the right direction? If so, can you please send me a PM as well? I may not check this thread too often.

Thanks!

I think you mean Lance's site. I can't recall the domain name, either, but I think he took it offline a while ago.

I like Frank Thomas and it has been a while since Frank Got some love on here

My 1998 Precious Metals

and my recent ebay pickup 98 longevity /50

Was a little surprised to uncover a 1987 McDag Auburn Tigers set this evening with the Thomas first card and a Bo Jackson. I must have bought it when Frank was not on the top of the hot lists. I am glad to have reunited with it. I don't know if that is bad or good when you "find" something like this you forgot you had!!

It is not active any longer and many of the photos and links no longer work, but the framework is there.

Insane pickups!

Anyone looking for a 1996 Leaf Studio Frank Thomas Gold? There's a listing on Ebay for a Thomas/Griffey package deal and I'm only interested in the Griffey.

Would buy, ship you the Thomas and keep the Griffey. The listing is BIN $60, I'm sure I can negotiate down from there. Let me know guys.

I recently picked up these two.

The 2015 is in blue ink, which some don't like, but I think it looks great in person. I also liked that it was a great action shot! The blue ink also is a neat variation in the Dynasty product that I enjoy.

The 2014 is a great image also.

Both have great patches, and no smudging!

Thanks for looking!

John
