Griffey Collector's Thread - Part Two..

[Letch77]

It all started because I found a Tom Brady 2000 Score Rookie Preview Auto in my “trash cards” binder I hadn’t looked at in 15 years.

I'd love to go through your "trash cards" binders! What else was in that binder...any Frank Thomas or 96 Select Certified in there?

 

[Acofosho]

Just a Frank Thomas upper deck legends auto and a 1999 Fleer Mystique /100 card graded 9.5 from PRO

It took me 30 years but I finally got my 2nd 89 UD rookie (not in hand yet but fingers crossed) My 1st one isnt really perfect. This one looks better. I know its hard to tell but what does anyone here think of the shape of this one?

 

[Acofosho]

Hi everybody. Posting here after a long and complicated battle with consigners and multiple attempts at grading this card. Long story short my BIG consignment company I hired to sell this 1/1 masterpiece failed to get it graded by both PSA and Beckett so I feared the worst. After calling in a favor and having a very credible member of the industry submit this card for me it finally came back. I’m fielding all offers right now (already have a 9 and 10k offer) but I’m being transparent and letting everyone know that I’m shopping around offers right now. I think a private sale may be best for the card and this community. Let me or anyone else interested know. Thanks! Feel free to email at [email protected]

Why don't you post a pic of the card in it's case? ...and "coin it" so people will know you have it in hand.
(Did you used to live in Ohio?)

 

[Acofosho]

Yea I can do that in a few days. Nope never lived in Ohio. As of right now my highest bid is north of 20k

I have no intention of buying anyway, but that coin looks pretty sketchy. I'd want to see the coin from different angles and different orientations to the card.

 

[deadman31]

These on sale at shopgrotesknyc.com. figured not bad for $50

That is simply insane to me that people will drop that much on a new card. Older cards are easier to excuse, but still is crazy. I know it's commonplace now days, but still crazy to me. For me, it's really still a hobby. I am not going to spend $$$ that amount to cars, houses and waterfront property on sport cards (over a long time, maybe easier to do, but not in small shots). Now if I were comfortable 7 figure rich, maybe I have a different attitude and perhaps some of these buyers are in that category.
