Some show pickups from yesterday..how did I do?

aminors · Sep 13, 2009

I mainly went there to fill up my Kinsler PC, but I found a guy who gave me a nice deal on some prospect cards too. I did find a card that will be mine in the future, though (Kinsler Reflections jsy/15).
Anyway here are the pickups from yesterday. I think I got a deal, what do you guys think? $14 for this lot.

I got them in the whole lot. The guy had no clue what prospects were good and bad and went by book value. He gave me the Walden and the three Xs for nine and the rest for five, so if you were to break those up assuming they were even I guess I paid 2.25 each.

That's a great deal man, the Almanzars will sell for more than $14 by themselves, and the Walden could be a big card next year.

Sick! I think they will be the first cards I will ever grade, as they look absolutely perfect. The centering on the Walden looks pretty good, although it has a very light, very minor scratch on the left border which would probably put the surface grade at a 9 or maybe an 8.5. I've never graded before but I'm not going to send in a card like that. I'll hop in the next group sub, though.

Is Alamanzar good/with good hype?

He is real young, and real raw talent. Hit under .250 this year but there is hope for him in 4+ years, lol. Long term investment

You should be able to get in on this month's group sub if you are interested, I'm definitely doing it and I still haven't mailed my cards yet...they just have to be there by the 20th of the month.

I've noticed that a lot of the Xfractors in the last couple products have been exceptional in quality.

Thanks all.

Oh and by the way, by some off-chance if some Topps Heritage guy comes around and sees this, I have a question. The Kinsler has a refractor finish, but is numbered like the chrome version to 1960 sets. I compared it to other chromes and the finish is obviously that of a refractor. What could be the reasoning behind this?
