Just ended my Donruss Elite madness...

I wasn't sure who I wanted to go with between Jacob Turner and Shelby Miller. I picked up the Turner /5 and I figured that there's nothing wrong with this Miller. Feel that this was a fair price for a 1/1 and that's all that matters

bought from fellow board member, jaypers

As PJ Barnum would say.........

You do realize he's on the 2010 Bowman Chrome checklist as an Autograph? He'll have a Superfractor that will blow that out of the water, there is a reason the seller decided to list it right now. I'm sure he was pleasantly surprised with the outing last night and your subsequent purchase.

Any Garrett Richards fans on these boards other than myself?

I don't feel like defending a purchase I made because unless you're planning on buying the card, I don't care.

Who is PJ Barnum?

As was alluded to PJ was supposed to be PT, just a typo. As for your purchase, I was only pointing out that only reason that card was made available for sale is because by the end of the October it will have lost over half of its perceived value IMO. Anybody who thinks Shelby Miller Elites are worth what they are selling for right now is in fact a 'sucker.' All the value is tied into it being his ONLY card, we all know what happens to 'exclusive' autographs when that same guy gets a Bowman Chrome Auto. That was my point, and like I said above it's all IMO. And My Opinion doesn't really mean anything, so it is to be taken with a grain of salt. However, in late October, you'll have some nice Elite Black kindling. Why do you think every comment made in this threads has alluded to 'great sale', not 'great buy' others are just more subtle.

Emphasis added and I definitely agree. If you are buying the card because you like it, its a 1/1 -- pay what you feel is fair.

I wouldn't sweat the comments on "great sale" rather than "great buy", especially since you think the price is fair. The fact that he has a Bowman Chrome coming out doesn't matter if you want the Black Elite...it may lose some perceived value but if someone else had bought it instead to hold forever it wouldn't matter what this reduced value was- you'd have no crack at the card.

You guys can say great sale all you want, but there is nothing wrong with the price that card sold for. I saw it, and thought about making a similar offer, fully knowing Shelby is going to have an auto in Bowman Chrome. So what? The kid has been electric since they gave him some time off during the middle of the year. At one point in May I believe, he had a 5+ ERA. Look now, and his ERA is mid 3's, great K/9, and the WHIP has came WAY down. Just had a terrific start in their 1st playoff game.

I know, I know-everyone knows all this. And the BC auto will hurt the value. Well, this is a 1/1, and because of that if Shelby continues his success, this will be a solid-nice investment in 2 years.

I see nothing wrong with $410 for this card, from a buyer's perspective.

As long as both sides are happy...that's all that counts!
