Another weirdly elusive one snagged.... guessing maybe people didnt open lots of 03 Mystique? I defintely wasnt opening wax by 2003, i had shifted to only buying the singles i wanted long before then....missed one of these many tines over the years when they popped up
Right.... adding to the curiousness.... because the greens all showed up to be flipped last week on ebay lol..... likely we ll see many more "90s" lots like that soon too.... several have sold as lots that will get pieced out.... interesting clustered timing
Curious, this turn of events recently with x x x style Donruss samples/proofs/execs/whatevers all being spread across the spaces of consignors and auctions is......
Made a Probstein donation to finally grab an Elite Craftsmen at a proper price. Also grabbed the 04 Essential Credentials /17. Not a fan of most ECs (especially at recent nutcasery prices) but even when cheaper, i find most of clemens ECs to be too gawdy to actually lust over lol (yes, even the...
Usually i NEVER bother looking at a card in a wood plaque. It has always, for my 36 years of looking at cards meant that the card in the plaque was an 88 topps, an 89 score, or something equally overproduced..... so i was very pleasantly surprised when i just noticed a wood plaque with an EPIC...
Yeah, i dont grade stuff, but if I did i wouldn't use either company for various reasons. I imagine I would use Beckett cuz at least they make an attempt to LOOK like they are explaining the grade with 4 topic sub grades. I m sure it will be hobby hubbub for a bit, but no impact to me or my...
Added another more scarce "button hole" jersey relic. Yankees this time. Need Sox and Jays now (very little chance of Jays except recent Jersey Fusion stuff maybe). Kinda beat up, but theres only 6 or 7 on a jersey when they cut it up so, the /150 status is a little misleading. Trying to focus...
So, as a test, i paid 2 bucks more for a NEW order to be rushed, and i managed to "cut myself" in line. 2nd order will ship WAY faster than 1st by ETAs stated. Will be interesting to see if they actually ship me my 2nd order before the 1st, for the sake of only 2 bucks lol.
Bunch of stuff late, all arrived at once.
The Limited Threads grows the jersey # group, 22/100. Admittedly this card is an example where Jersey # is NOT a 1/1, its 1/3 because the dual jersey picture means 12, 21 and 22 are in play. But still, its 1/3, so cool.
Throwback Threads Green /25...
So here's a rabbit hole i dont wanna dive down...... checklists with Clemens on them.
Worse, chrome refractor ones. So theres base, base chrome, and chrome refractor.......smh. was an umplanned LCS grab that he keptvaside for me, but its opeing a big can of worms. Has a lot of other big names...
File under things i wasnt expecting to popup....... i needed a Red Sox, already had Yanks. Quite happy. Very minor surface depression, but really nice overall for such a thick foil card. I might snip the thread with the precision scissors out of neuroticism lol......
Fairness update. Last 3 econo shipments have been early and i gave positive reviews here. This latest one just got pushed back 1 month on the day it should have shipped and now has 279k orders ahead of it. So, boo! But, i paid 5 bucks, i cant whine.
