I acquired 100 of these from a single source, which arrived today. I am also working out a deal with another seller for 200 more.

It should be noted that the cards are not glossy, unlike in previous years. In addition, they are definitely more condition sensitive this time around. The corners are rather tough to find without any chipping, and the back edges are even more susceptible. Also, a few cards had some scratches on the front surface.

BGS 9.5's and 10's might therefore command more significant premiums this time around.

For what it's worth, though, the centering is much improved. Only a couple of them were centered worse than 55/45.

I took this pic with my cell.

Smooth talker, no doubt.

Plus, the guy I'm buying 200 more from told me he got kicked out of the game by security while buying his, or else he'd have even more.

Heard/read some horrible accounts of people basically stealing these cards away from other fans, even to a point were fights were breaking out.

I have a feeling I will be winning some of your Chavez Clarke when they hit the bay.

Was the guy you purchased from them Asian by chance?

There were probably 10 or more people standing around the steps after the gate asking people if the wanted there cards and alot of people would either just give them there cards or the guys would offer to buy them off of them.. I saw people with stacks of AFLAC cards that they got that way..

I can under stand the condition issues with these cards. The ladys handing them out just had the in piles on the table a would just toss them around.. Scratches and dings are gonna be issues...

bear0555 · Aug 23, 2009

Very nice! I only saw about 2 or 3 people there with large stacks of cards. I only got about 7 cards before I was warned so I stopped buying. I still have a few of them so feel free to pm if you're interested.

Varies per player. Paid quite a bit for it all.

I saw that, it was hilarious.

A few days earlier you started a post basically saying that "it is all downhill from here" when Harper's sold for a little over $100

You even posted this ------"I've grown quite disenchanted with these cards over the past couple of years.

They start off red hot, then quickly plummet. And now, since we've seen autographed versions appear in last year's BDP, there's always a chance they'll be returning in this year's BDP, thus making last year's base fall even further.

I'll still buy them, but I've definitely lowered my maximum buy price per card this year.

Let's face it - the only real winners when it comes to these cards are those who attended the game and listed them immediately."

Now you start a thread about picking up hundreds and hundreds

Was the previous posts just a smokescreen to get others not to buy?

I even predicted in that previous thread that when one has the Aflacs then they are the best things to have but when one doesn't have them, they are overrated.[quote="kentuckyderby"]Those that are looking to buy now are of course going to down play it
(well, at least until they sell later)
Those that are looking to sell now are going to hype it up now

It would be interesting to save this thread and see if those that aren't so hot about the potential of a card or player have a different opinion if they became a seller of such card or player[/quote]

Either it was done as a smokescreen to get others disinterested as you were scooping them up OR you had a complete 180 turnaround OR you are truly deranged

I personally love the Aflac cards

Jaypers · Aug 23, 2009

None of the above, Andy.

Re-read my post. I said I would still buy them, but at much lower prices than previous years, which I did. My intention is to flip them, which I've already done in a couple of instances. No smokescreen here.

And btw, the Harper is apparantly already losing steam: [ebay:18zf3ikh]260465317177[/ebay:18zf3ikh]
