Two new pickups. One biggie.

Posted this last week but got it in hand recently

And while this isn't a baseball card, the dude pictured on it used to own the Wagner, so there's that

Awesome, the second pic didn't post.

I've always wanted a high end Gretzky rc and now I have one. I rule!

That's some of the strongest ink on a Harper I've ever seen. Nice.

Cool stuff Will!

Any luck with the Pujols BC search yet?

George_Calfas · Jan 23, 2013

Solid OPC! Congrats

deaconblues63 · Jan 23, 2013

Congratulations. Those are both outstanding.

Nope. I gave up. They come up too infrequently and I'm impatient. The ones on eBay are overpriced. I offered $3900 on one and was turned down. I've always wanted a high end Gretzky. I'm gonna sell my PSA 8 (which is pretty ugly). This one is the nicest color/centering/registration example I've ever seen. Better than any PSA 9's...and for $2500 cheaper

Nice stuff will!

Two monsters. Congrats on landing them dude.

Solid pickups Will. Well played.

Two very nice looking cards,
Thought for a second that your original post was stating that Harper had owned a Wagner.

Sjrmn91 · Jan 24, 2013

That Gretzky is beautiful man, congrats!! Didn't know you had a psa 8 also.

It was all a dream

AmishDave · Jan 24, 2013

Well done, Watson.

thefatguy · Jan 24, 2013

Awesome Gretz!

Slette · Jan 24, 2013

Great stuff, man. You can always sell your PSA Gretzky and put those proceeds towards your Pujols BC auto...

It'll go toward paying this off. The new one cost me $2350.

I've been in the market for a high end card for awhile now. I have a PSA 9 MJ rc, and there aren't really any football or baseball players who stand out as the best ever. Well, Ruth, but I don't have $50k to drop on his rc. Pujols is the best baseball player I've seen in my lifetime. I'll pick up his BC when one comes up in a live auction. Funny thing is, I've owned 8 copies. I've sold each one for a profit. The last one I bought in '04 for $1500. Sold it for $3900 after their WS win in '06

Have you picked up any new VY's at all? I see his Finest Superfractor listed a couple weeks ago

Nope. I've seen a few UT cards but they're priced too high.
