So when i won the first one of these, i just knew i had to get the other 4. After searching high and low and winning 3 on ebay i finally got all 5. When i had 3 of the 5 i set up a local card show and some guy came around who had a friend who collected Chipper jones. So i had him ask by chance if his buddy had one...he said yes...and told me he would never trade/sell it. My hopes kind of got shot to pieces until the guy drove an hour and half to meet me at the show. He brought the card, and i ended up trading him for it.
Prior to this, i lost one of them on ebay while i was on a trip in Vegas. Fortunately for me, it was someone i had dealt with in the past that had won it. I contacted him, and he was very attached to it and did not want to move it. After i won my 4th one on ebay, he said the least he could do was sell it to me because i had helped him out earlier in the year. I could not have done this without some great collectors and people. I know this hobby can suck sometimes, but i have met some great people through this. I am still in shock at how fast i put this together. Since they are /5 i figured either one would never see the light of day again because it would be in someones collection, or it wouldn't be pulled for a year or two. They are beautiful cards! I know they are all legit because they all connect as you can tell by the scan and all the marquee titanic patches have been ridiculous. Glad i got them before they could be ruined by patch fakers who would put better patches on a already cool card. Thanks for the look!
