Hosmer/Smoak Mailday It's got me seeing GREEN.....

[HoustonTeams4Me]

I had a pretty good mailday as I received the card below along with the 20+ Razor auto's that I had won/purchased the other night! I've been awaiting for this badboy to appear for some time now (I think I completed the Rainbow (unless there are 1of1 dual's that I've never seen)?

Here's a crappy scan of the rest of them (#d/25, #d/150, #d/295)...

I also got another T.Ross USA Plate Green Auto #d 1/1 & yesterday I received 1 of my M.Taylor EEE Auto "Status" #d/25 & a M.Taylor EEE Auto "Aspirations" #d/50....It's been a pretty good couple of mail day's indeed!

what did the green dual run you?

That is sweet green!

Congrats on the Ross plate and the Taylor's.
I think I missed out on that Taylor #'d to 25. I did get one #'d to a 100.

Thanks everyone,

K.Derby-The green ran me about $80 dlvd.

Quenepa- I'm sure you just beat me out of the M.Taylor #d/100 :lol: (I've lost the only 2 that have hit Ebay)! I did win both of the EEE M.Taylor #d/25 though (although I haven't received 1 of them in the mail yet...patience, patience ). I made an offer on the #d/50 auto as soon as it was listed (this was when the EEE's first hit Ebay, someone listed the #d/50 for auction but I made an offer of $37 dlvd. & they accepted :shock: ..I couldn't believe they accepted but it was before any of the EEE's had ended so there wasn't a feel for thier price range- the seller was REALLY cool by keeping to his word as he didn't know how to end the auction so he told me to put in a real high bid & we'd keep our agreement whether it ended above or below our agreed upon price; it ended at $78 & I only had to pay $37 dlvd- REALLY COOL seller!).

Mburgin- I really like Smoak also (the only prospect I like more from last year's draft is Hosmer, so you can see why I've taken a liking to the Hosmer/Smoak dual) & I think these are going to be better than the Wieters/LaPorta combo (they had a dual in 05 USA, which is why I mentioned those to, because as far as value goes I bet this will trump the Wieters/LaPorta dual here in the near future)! That is an AWESOME card you've got, I'd hang onto it until he blows up & the masses of collector's realize what "exclusivity" means to the value of the prospect's item's!

DPanthers- I appreciate the compliment bud! I started out going the vintage route but the prospecting world is so very entertaining (it's almost a sport within a hobby)!

I think we've discussed USA item's before & I figured I had some pretty big competition on this puppy, but I was really shocked at the ending price (I actually had my bid set to go to $151.89...Thank YOU for not deciding on bidding)!

Great pick up, I bid on that one also. Glad it went to a board member.

Thanks bud...do you (or anyone) happen to know if there are 1of1's to the dual's? I've seen 1of1's for the single player's but I haven't for the dual's...Any info. would be appreciated?
