$200 even. I wanted it pretty bad and thought it would be plenty to win. It looks like it will grade well, I hope that's still the case when I have it in hand.
Yeah, but that went about what I expected. It was these two that left me shocked, I could have won a lot more auctions before if I knew:
I'm beyond ecstatic about the San Jose Mercury News newspaper card. I thought I would never see that. I thought it was black and white this whole time. I...
Nice Doc! I threw a low fishing snipe on it to see if I could steal it. There was some others I was hellbent on winning. You got that for a good price, too.
One of my favorite cards, signed in 1985. Can't imagine there are too many of these actually signed in 1985, as almost all were getting the Topps USA signed when given the chance.
Are you serious??? You honestly can say you don't think it's in better taste to describe what you do like about something, rather than what you do not like about the alternative?
This.
The appropriate time to express his opinions would have been by voting in the contest. Not after it was over. It's also in good taste to explain why you are voting for someone, not why you are not voting for the other.
You missed the whole point of my entire post. I addressed him "breaking eBay's rules" in the first section of my post. And the "not guilty" part was of my opinion, not eBay's.....
Maybe I'm the only one, but I like the buyers style. He's a fixer. He knows how to get things accomplished, focusing on the end result, and weighs his chances. I think most of you need to step back and put yourselves in his shoes, and also think outside the box.
Why not do what he did? What...
*BUMP*
McGwire's rookie year was 1987, and 20+ years is what it takes to put a collection like that together. There isn't many in the world, let alone on this board that can say they've accomplished what Joe has. My vote is obviously for Joe's collection, not necessarily because of the player...
I think the signature is legit, and believe IndyMann was referring to GAI putting their sticker right on the front of the card. If not, my apologies for assuming.
On another note, that is a cool feat and they look great together. My favorite is the B/W Red Wings. The centered signature with the...
I wasn't sure if it was because of the NY World Series, the logoman, or the design. I personally think the ones with logo showing are worth the extra money. I bought the one below because of the serial number, but I would have got it because of the logo on the McGwire side anyways.
It's nice to...
I would think someone on the board would have one. I saw your other thread a minute ago. Crazy there's nothing here, but makes sense I guess. I can think of some McGwire cards /100 that i have seen only a couple times. All players combined have 100 cards total for that set: a toughie indeed.
Damn, sorry to get your hopes up. I found the card I thought it was. So close, yet not quite. Its a 2000 Pacific Prism proof /10, and it is printed on white vinyl (like a heavy tarp or wedding rental tent). I actually have 3 different #'d/10 2000 Pacifics, but I guess not that one. Sorry to you...
When you see something signed in paint pen, you need to be extra careful and scrutinize it even closer. A lot of forgers like using them because they can sign 75% slower without it being evident, which makes it easier for them to get a close copy of what they are forging. The paint pens also...
