If I was still buying...

Topnotchsy · Mar 29, 2013

The surfing eBay habit dies hard so I figured I'd post some cards I come across that I find interesting. I figure I'll stick to BIN's so that I don't announce a card that someone was planning on sniping.

Price may be a little high, but don't hold your breathe waiting for another to pop up:

That sig looks weak. With UD's track record that ink might be all but gone in another 10 years.

Great card, but I'm not sure if this set (or any GU set really) will "stand out" and "stand the test of time".

IMO that set has as good a chance as any of standing the test of time. 14 years after it was made it is still incredibly popular (even the non auto ones.) of course the buy in is really high...

I agree. With these it's more about the card than the relic. I really don't like GU cards but this set is one of the few exceptions.

This is the premier GU/AUTO set. It will always command a premium.

I don't know if I would buy from that seller- seems like he is one of those guys that used to be a great seller but now is hit or miss. See feedback

Go back and play with your Heritage cards. This is one of the best sets produced, and you have to slam this card.

Note: Even though the seller is in Japan, he is a stand-up Ebayer. Ty Hope will attest to this.

A Schmidt #/20 sold for $1700 at auction a couple months ago. Even though the Aaron is #/44, I'd think it might actually go for more.

Hoopster, your bebopping cat is driving me bananas. I love it.

Edit: Last sale I've seen on this card was $2000 for 1/44 but that was a BO and I remember thinking the seller may have left money on the table...

I've been wanting the griffey jr auto forever - only saw one completed sale in the last 5 years. Went for $3750. Awesome set.

Here's the scan of that Schmidt. Had some flaws on the auto I believe:

I was out of the bidding at $400... I want this card, but not $2k badly. Every March I have access to plenty of Schmidt autos which I turn down...

ThoseBackPages · Mar 29, 2013

Aarons RC is criminally underpriced.

pootshwan · Mar 30, 2013

If you're spending that kind of coin, i'd be holding out for a stronger auto...

Fixed. If your going to spend 1700.00 dollars on a HOFer, it better be graded-vintage in my book.

I just came across the Aaron Auto and I see Orbit still has it for sale..

I would have thought that someone would have snagged it by now..
