I have a good set up with my sister, I send her Ebay links for singles I like and give her a reasonable price range for them. So every year I can look forward to getting some singles that I just didn't have the cash for at the time. Actually I'm more pumped about the gifts I'm giving this...
Wow that is an awesome awesome card... I like the little inscription below his sig, too, it adds a bit of uniqueness. As others have said it is a very well designed card (for once).
I would prefer a mix as well. The only way the mix could be annoying to some is if you owned both a sticker and an on card auto. But the majority of collectors will not be assembling your set, but instead will be picking up their player, or players from their team, or someone they like. And...

Small... right. ;)
Awesome stuff. Quick question, what do you mean that blue was a BGS 9.5? Did someone crack it out of the case? Sweet cards though.
These are the only ones I've seen that fit a booklet card. VERY high quality and appealing, but a hefty price tag. Especially for a Ticket to Stardom dual. I'd say its worth it for a $900 TTT patch....

Looks like every box of A&G I've busted... I stick to collecting the sets now rather than breaking it. Could you check if you have any of my wants from 08 A&G? Willing to trade or buy them. Thanks!

04 SPGU Patch did have some nice patches... put as a collector I would steer clear of that myself. Just looks too good to be true IMO.
Here's a nice logo patch... placed upside down. ::facepalm:: I pulled this one myself. jersey number too!
Awesome awesome card. As others have said I would prefer "Babe" Ruth, but it in no way diminishes the greatness.
Seems like a very good price for it, if I had that kind of money to spend on cards I would be very happy with it. Congrats!
I've always thought Tony Perez had a great sig, it is easy to read but still as a personal flourish to it. BTW, I can use any hall of famers from this set, 2005 Ultimate Collection Signature Supremacy.
I've seen a fair share of BGS 9.5;s come back as PSA 9's. Part of it comes from the fact that both companies want to appear stighter and will sometimes grade a previously graded card a bit tougher. IMO of course. And honestly, a BGS 9.5 with ALL 9.5 subs will command huge money, I don't know...
Nice! Bobby Cox was a great manager and I have so many hilarious memories of him.
What is the difference between the blue and red flips for PSA? I think the reds authenticate the card as well, where as the blues only authenticate the sig?
