Carl Crawford Letter 2007 Topps Sterling

[ktothep]

Did anyone buy or sell this card on Sunday? It was only listed for about 29 minutes and I'm so upset I missed it. I've been looking for this card for 15 years and I have the rest of the nameplate. I contacted comc on ebay and they were of no help in getting me in touch with the seller or buyer. If anybody can assist, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you!

I truly wish you all the luck in the world.

Are you in the 1 of 1 Facebook group? Try there?

 

[ktothep]

Thanks. I am not but I will give that a shot. Appreciate the advice.

Someone listed the card in July 2021 in that group. He just sold it on comc. But he has no info on the buyer!! I want to cry

Hopefully you can connect the dots.

Wow, feel for you. I wonder if the knowledge that you have them all but C would help or hurt you. The buyer may know and think they can make a nice quick profit by selling to you or maybe they just like the card and have no clue you have the rest.

 

[ktothep]

Yea. It's a crapshoot these days probably putting the info out there. I think if this was before covid, true collectors always helped each other. I actually remember losing our on one before and the person found out I was going for the nameplate and sold it to me for exactly what he paid to help me out.

 

[ktothep]

I got in tough with the seller but since he sold through comc, he has no idea who the buyer is. My search continues. I am glad to know that it exists. I can now at least print a picture and put it in a one touch next to the rest if I have to, haha.

Wow! Best of luck. That's truly impressive that you have all of the other 1/1 letters!!

Thank you very much. It's probably the set in my collection of which I am the most proud. Took a lot of time and energy constantly searching. I slacked off a bit in the last few years. I'm still distraught that I missed the ebay listing. I still can't get over that it was only listed for 20 minutes. I can't imagine who else would've been looking for it!!

@ktothep Have you thought about creating an eBay listing with the same exact card image and title with a ridiculous BIN price that no one would ever hit? Use the description to advertise that you are trying to get in touch with the purchaser of the card.

 

[mrmopar]

or if you don't mind sharing that you only need the 1 card, it might be worth doing something similar to what deaconblues63 is suggesting but showing your cards instead and asking for the missing card.

 

[LWMM]

Good luck! Hope the see a picture of the full nameplate in the near future. And I agree with what @deaconblues63 and @mrmopar suggest---worth a shot.

Sorry to hear. This will probably hurt more, but I'm 99% sure I saw this card in a bargain bin for like $40 earlier in the year. I thought about it and decided the card was pretty bland [not a fan of Topps GU] and that no one cares about Crawford anymore so I figured it wasn't worth the hassle picking it up. Sorry.

If the card sold on ebay, I'd DEFINITELY create a listing advertising you're looking for it. It'll get removed, but you at least know the buyer is looking. Maybe use a 2nd account to avoid getting suspended and repost a couple times during different times and day.

Aww man, I missed out for sure twice now since the seller also had it on Facebook for $80. My inactivity during covid cost me here. I'm definitely going to create a listing on ebay soon. I'll keep you guys posted. Thank you for all of the advice so far.

COMC probably can't/won't help, but you could try them if you have not already tried. If it wasn't an auction, good chance the buyer snagged it on COMC, not through ebay (as you save $ going to their site direct).
