I could die tomorrow a happy man, BGS POP, WHITE WHALE ALERT

[1995BBRefractorGuy]

I just had a BGS Order Pop and it included this little beauty, I had high hopes and for good reason...

-Over 10 Years looking...
-BGS has only ever graded 6 copies that were Mint 9 or better
-One of the most condition sensitive modern rookies and modern sets
-Now a Pop 2, the last BGS 9.5 sold for over $13,000.00 in 2001 when it was a Pop 1 http://www.beckett.com/estore/news/?s=1&eskin=beckett&a=1529
-I would have legitimately paid $10K for this card (The other 9.5 hasn't been seen since it was sold)

This has to be my happiest hobby day ever!

Congrats!! Do you have a scan of it before you sent it out?

I got the card from a guy who claims he pulled it, I don't know if that's true but I don't care.

I now have to decide what to do with my current BGS 9 Guerrero Rookie Refractor (subs are 9.5, 9.5, 9.5, 8.5!). I think I'll send it to PSA, based on my experience grading this set with them it should be a slam dunk 10, it's way nicer than the PSA 10 I used to own. It's a good position to be in.

Congrats!

What's next on your list??

well done. with only 4 PSA 10's out there, i think its a good idea to send the bgs 9 to PSA
