Best mailday ever! Best card I have ever owned, WOW!!!!!!!!!

[bodiaz]

This was truly a great day for me! I got home from work and had 3 packages waiting for me. I knew exactly what was in all 3. First package had a box of Masterpieces that I picked up on Ebay for $26 dlvd. No big hits, but did pull these:

Not bad for $26 and it was a fun break. Almost got an entire base set out of one box.

Next package had this beauty in it!

Card usually sells for $175-$200. Saw it on Ebay within an hour of listing at BIN $185 OBO. Offered $85 and he took it!

Last, thanks to Labratt21. So glad you came to your senses and sold these to me! I can't stop smiling!

I also have 10/27, and the patch is very much like this! VERY unique Bonds patch! Have never seen any like it.

And this little guy, BTW my favorite card I have ever owned!

Now I have to go wipe the Shat that is dripping down my leg! Thanks for the look.

Very sweet Tris Speaker. I picked one up a couple of years ago from someone on Beckett for $100.

Absoltuely stunning :shock:

Glad everything made it to you safe and sound and glad they ended up in a good home! I'll do some searching to see if I have the Bonds sterling box but it might've been tossed when I made my move to Texas.

Looks like a Jackie Robinson patch in that Bonds, great card and great collection.

:shock:

sick bonds 1/1! have they come down a bit or are bonds autos still up there?

Bonds autos have dropped in value across the board, which is unfortunate. But it seems as though this was a trend that followed with some Clemens items, etc. There haven't been any completed auctions for this card in a long time, but we were able to estimate a value based on other players in the set as well as other examples from other years of Sterling. We both really did our homework for this sale and I'm really happy to say that the card has found a good home.

You are probably right, I wondered where this patch was from? Thanks!

It's a patch commemorating 50 years of Jackie Robinson "Breaking Barriers". I have scanned examples that I'd love to post, but I don't think I can post pictures without photobucket, etc.

Does anyone know, is there a way I can post pictures from my computer without having an online service? I have some amazing cards I think you guys would enjoy seeing.

Here's the patch

Great, yes that is the patch. As you see on this card I have the 'TH' in "50th". Pretty cool!
