Whats going on everyone? I've been away for almost two weeks with very little internet access. I've picked up a few random cards, including one I've been wanting since Roy picked it up (thanks again for the heads up). As soon as that arrives I'll post a scan. I saw this the other week and had never seen one before so I picked it up. Does anyone have any print run info?

If I'm not mistaken the Platinum cards print run was 100 ( it might be 99 but I think it was 100 of each) hope that helps.

OK,
I love the buy backs too
I think I'll only buy them after Magic Papa says the card is "ok"
Or maybe I'll just post the ones I'm thinking of buying and let the bunch of you give feedback.
I will put my buy backs up (all of them as a group) in next couple of weeks and let you all look them over.

Nice pick up Bruce. Another sweet card for your collection.

Nice addition Roy. Nice subtraction too. :D Those are very nice cards.

Magic- There's a lot of nice red inks there for sure!

Bruce, wonderful card, wonderful price.
Does anyone know the seller?
I'm just curious to know if the market is falling apart or if the seller is unaware the last 2 on ebay sold for near $900.

One other thing-

Any speculation on Griffey for next year?
When he was with the Reds, he said he wanted to sign another 4 year contract before retiring (I'd hope as a DH in the American League). Now I haven't heard anything since the trade to Chi.
Anyone with any educated guesses on whether Griffey could get 700 home runs while we collectors have him as our "man"?

The seller has only sold racing cards in the past. Probably not aware of past sales and they are to old to search.

Roy,
Again you got a very wonderful card, the only dual I know of with Griffey and A-rod (any of you can correct me on that).
I'm deffinitely listing him as a favorite seller, maybe my favoritest seller.
We can just sit back and wait for the next Griffey card.
Go NASCAR!

I think that he wants to keep playing, but not sure who would sign him. It would need to be a AL team as a DH. He might be able to reach 700 in 4 years in a HR park, Texas would be nice. The warm weather and the HR friendly park might be good for him.

Griffey and Arod have another dual auto, quite nice but I forgot the past sale prices. Atleast two of these have sold in the last few months.

I was outbid on that the winner got it for about $850. I thought it was brinn1 that won it.
