Lucky you!

MansGame said:

Just looked and yea, terrible pictures and not how I'd describe the title lol

$120 on the cheap end for this? I'm guessing yes with all the player collectors and crazy set collectors.

Uhmm...hell yes.

picked up the a pair of the 99 tek gold ref maddux "proofs" from the seller that has the "Executive edge" stadium club cards/all the other proofs... figure for $20 on the pair I could buy worse with the money. thought about grabbing one of the gold edged cards along with it since he had them up for $10 still decided not to though

Saw those but didn't really know what to make of them. You see the Braves finish last night?

Not a fan of those but glad they're nice. The Belle's have gone unsold thus far and this last time for $10 and now resisted. I'm passing. I'm totally over these stupid proofs but maybe it's because the Topps Vault sent me some BS item and that's put the nail in the coffin for these type of items. I'd rather put $20 towards a legit Belle.

Just my opinion. Sorry for the rant.

leximo is really flooding the market with "proofs" - most just from uncut sheets at various stages of the printing process. His prices are too high, but he gets the occassional hardcore guy so who's to say what these items real value are? Just too high in my opinion - usually printer proofs like these I pay $3-$5 per for Grace.

Been adding to my Vladimir PC with some nice 90's inserts.

Great Vlads!

These are in the spirit of the 90s, right? Still need the Glavine.

Does anybody know if ebay seller vintagesnowmobiles (out of Maple Plain, MN) is an FCB member? I'm asking this in here because the guy sells a lot of 90's insert stuff.

He also sniffs glue before setting his prices.

Funny you posted that - I just got this in the mail yesterday. Bought it off sportslot.com last week.



I've been thinking about going for the set for awhile. I've got Grace, Vladimir, Glavine, Karros and Andruw Jones so far.

Yeah, that's why I'm asking. He's got some items I want but I can't afford his prices. I figured if he values his PSA 9 1996 Select Certified Mirror Gold Mo Vaughn at $450, maybe he'd be interested in my PSA 10 1997 Finest Embossed Gold Refractor Sosa at a pretty good trade value.

He's more of a hostage taker. I've had zero luck dealing with him over the past 4-5 years on rare card needs. I just stay away now.

Speaking of which, not sure I showed this off yet. One of my higher end 90's inserts.

Mike buys and sells. I have dealt with him for nearly 20 years and never one trade........I may have an extra 1996 Vaughn, which one do you need/want?

These are some of the beasts I'm looking for:

1996 Collector's Choice You Make The Play Gold Signature #42 A & B
1996 Select Certified Mirror Gold #67 (/30)
1996 Select Certified Mirror Gold Pastime Power #141 (/30)
1997 Pinnacle Certified Mirror Gold #2 (/30)
1997 Pinnacle Totally Certified Platinum Gold #2 (/30?)
1997 Finest Gold Embossed Refractor #153
1997 Collector's Choice Crash the Game Instant Winner (w/ "Instant Win" stamp on front)
1998 Donruss Crusade Purple (Call To Arms) #NNO (/100)
1998 Donruss Crusade Red (Call To Arms) #NNO (/25)
1998 Finest Centurions Refractor #C18 (/75)
1998 Leaf Fractal Foundations Fractal Materials Z2 Axis #148 (/20)
1998 E-X 2001 Essential Credentials Future #2 0 (/81)
1999 E-X Century Essential Credentials Now #13 (/13)
1999 E-X Century Essential Credentials Future #13 (/108)
1999 Upper Deck Encore Driving Forces FX Gold #D6 (/10)
2000 E-X Essential Credentials Now #9 (/9)
2000 E-X Essential Credentials Future #9 (/52)

And I actually prefer raw to graded. I'm in it for the fun and I can barely notice the difference between a 9 and 10 behind toploaders anyway, unless inspecting for a sub. Would love to get several of the cards from my list in lesser condition than just one in a gem condition.

I can get you, I think, the mirrors and platinum. PM me so we can talk there.

yeah I pass on a vast majority of that kind of stuff (I have such a huge number of cards of Maddux I need that are pack issued as it is, so no shortage of cards I need) $20 for the A/B gold "proof" fills the gap of not owning a single tek gold maddux for the time being though (topps tek is a can of worms I've chosen not to open yet I fear that once the lid is off it will get out of hand) but for $20 for a pair of them. works for me!

would have rather paid $5 a piece, but still!
[MENTION=3887]AUTaxMan[/MENTION] - yep! we are tuned in for every game - wife and kid are out of town for the week too so lounging and baseball it is! shame we didn't finish the comeback rally in game one today!

I passed on the bags but somebody snagged em and anticipated competition too.
