[Mailday!] Diamond King Recollection Auto Style!

[A_Pharis]

#'d 2/2

What makes it special is that it's one of only 2 copies of ANY Diamond King from the 80's and early 90's era signed by Sutton. A lot of the other guys have parallels (much like my 1/1's being platinums).
Worked out a trade with a guy who took it off of eBay, and I'm very glad the trade was good for both of us. This is the #2 rarest DK auto for my set behind Alvin Davis, who has one that is 1/1 (only). It's one of those things you never expect to show up, and the guy got it that day at a show in New York. He said the dealer laughed at him when he bought it (for way less than what I traded on it), because "no one was going to want such an ugly card". I'm just glad Burbank never got a hold of it. It would have been a $600 listing.

[darrend505]

Nicely done sir! How many more autos are you missing yet?

Thanks! I was thinking of growing mine out and hitting it with the Jheri curl!

Darren: I am at 67 unique from a list of around 84.

Nice to see a collector end up with the card.

 

[mrwhitesox30]

Congrats on getting a tough one! It looks like part of his autograph was him drawing in a mustache.

 

[mlbsalltimegreats]

Awsome card! Not that ugly.

 

[CollectorsCorner]

nice card!

 

[Therion]

It just shows you that dealers are idiots. Now I know why few Darryl Kile cards ever pop up.

Great pickup!

Note that I only really go for one of each player since a lot of the players have different issues from various years.

If you ever move your Canseco...

 

[theplasticman]

That is awesome!

If you ever move your Canseco...

Its never easy for me to move a PC item.. but Ive done it a couple times recently for a different PC item which I happened to like better. I would trade the DK reco if I got a reco I liked for it in return.. Id rather have the 86RR, 86 the rookies, 86 Highlights than the DK to be honest. the only reason I own it is because it was low numbered and my buy in on it was very cheap a little over two years ago.

If I ever stumble across one of those Canseco Recollections it's as good as yours.
