Beckett often plays a game called "how would you spend $xx?"

I thought that might be fun to do here but be a little more precise. The question is, given $500 to spend on anything card related you want, how would you spend it?

A random post in this thread will win $50, the only rule is you must link your "purchases" to ebay sales either completed or ongoing with an estimate of their value, for instance, here is mine:

I would buy vintage since I don't often.

A PSA 4 Koufax RC: [phil:3t1mwyfn]330505990174[/phil:3t1mwyfn] - $193
A PSA 7 Santo RC: [phil:3t1mwyfn]380293985715[/phil:3t1mwyfn] - $36
A PSA 8 Dr. J. RC: [phil:3t1mwyfn]260703558359[/phil:3t1mwyfn] - $215
A PSA 7 Robint Yount RC: [phil:3t1mwyfn]120495499383[/phil:3t1mwyfn] - $50

So post away, we'll run the contest for a bit so everyone has a chance to get in.

For $500, it would be a 2010 Bowman Chrome spending spree:

A Blue Refractor Autograph Gary Sanchez: Ebay Item #150525211600 - $130

A Gold Refractor Wil Myers: Ebay Item #170569906006 - $44

A Gold Refractor Jose Altuve: Ebay Item #290505954487 - $22.50

A Gold Refractor Jason Heyward: Ebay Item #2380294660038 - $41

A Gold Refractor Autograph Francisco Lindor: Ebay Item #2606990404395 - $112.49

It makes a nice chrome wishlist. Thanks,

Robinson PSA 4 - $79.99 (at auction, but the price is right for the grade)
[ebay:8o5znqly]260704962526[/ebay:8o5znqly]

Mantle PSA 2 - @224.95
[ebay:8o5znqly]310272165624[/ebay:8o5znqly]

1969 Topps FINAL Baseball Card Negative Nolan Ryan :shock: :
[ebay:34t0jduj]200552913141[/ebay:34t0jduj]
But its already at $222, so it will probably go over $500...

Otherwise:
2009 Topps Chrome Ryan Braun Superfractor [ebay:34t0jduj]140486600300[/ebay:34t0jduj] should be ~$125
2007 Topps Chrome Chris Narveson Superfractor Auto RC [ebay:34t0jduj]270665678762[/ebay:34t0jduj] should be ~$75
CHRIS CARPENTER 2010 TOPPS ALLEN & GINTER MINI WOOD [ebay:34t0jduj]110622820950[/ebay:34t0jduj] should be ~$75
Jim Thome 2010 Topps Update Platinum [ebay:34t0jduj]250725329723[/ebay:34t0jduj] should be ~$100
2010 NATIONAL CHICLE ALEX RODRIGUEZ COWHIDE 1/1 [ebay:34t0jduj]200539901540[/ebay:34t0jduj] should be ~$125

I would buy one really nice item instead of many smaller purchases. I make small purchases all the time and tend to talk myself out of the big purchases out of guilt for spending that much on myself. So... that being said... I would go big on this Mantle Upper Deck Authenticated #7 Autographed baseball!

Enjoy!
Tom

[ebay:3nkd2rn4]220705476879[/ebay:3nkd2rn4] Price plus shipping = $495
