Buck O'Neil Steal - Card received, SCAN Added

[gracecollector]

Found this listed in eBay stores. Loved the inscription (KC Monarchs 1938), and the price ($65 delivered). Crappy scan from eBay.

It'll be an upgrade to the one I already have. Anyone interested in it?

HOLY CRAP! They made these w/ inscriptions???

Is it a parallel, or just random copies had them?

Ramdom copies had different inscriptions, very nice pickup by the way gracecollector.

Re: Buck O'Neil Steal

So it was a steal? Dang. I saw it when it was listed and considered it, but passed because I thought it might be about market price.

Re: Buck O'Neil Steal

yeah, I saw it but it was already gone....it was a good steal.

That is now the second card in the last 2 days I have tried to hit the BIN now and someone beats me to it.......the other was even better than this one...

There are inscription versions on a bunch of them - I have been working on the set (I know - impossible goal) and have a few with inscriptions:

That's really sweet with the inscription. Not sure I'd call it a steal though, as I've seen most end in that range. Sweet card none the less. Gotta love sweet spot cuts either way.

Re: Buck O'Neil Steal

Just a random inscription. The Immortal Signatures came from actual balls, not just pre-cut ball leather pieces. It is numbered out of /126 like the other O'Neils.

Steal in my book. I paid higher for the one I had, although it was a card show impulse and not eBay.

Now THAT is a steal - it would be a steal at double that price - I think I paid close to 200 for a copy . . .

Wow really? I'm sure glad my Best Offer (he was asking $65, I best offered $55 -because his shipping is $10) was automatically accepted or I guess it would have been yours!

Re: Buck O'Neil Steal - SCAN Added

Got the card in hand yesterday. Looks great. The inscription is actually KC Monarchs 1938-55, but the 55 is covered up. You can see it if you tilt the card and look under the window overhang.

 

[JackLondon]

Excellent card! Congratulations on the purchase!

 

[Mighty Bombjack]

That's great, you gotta love inscriptions.

What are you looking for on your old O'Neill?
