Sold this one

paid $500 sold $700 minus fees

To buy one of these

I think I will be able to get one for $700 with patience, but??

Where I actually think the one I have is actually nicer looking, the SP is classic, and I think will likely to be a better investment?
What do you think?

No mike is an idiot button this time? :lol:

Smart move. Much better looking in my opinion.

Man, if i put that option up there, i would be hammerred...I will stick with cool :?

Man, tough decision. The SP is obviously worth more but I think the UD looks better. Always been a fan since it was the first box I ever opened as a kid Either way, sweet sale!

Mike is cool. Seems like a no-brainer to me.

As nice as the UD was, the SP absolutely destroys it. Nice move.

I figure usually people answer that when they just feel "who cares about this poll, or no opinion" (LOL)....it's a trick :twisted:

The top prospects is cleaner and better looking, but the SP will hold its value best, and probably net you a better return in the future. Good call.

BUT, if it were my card, I'd have kept the Top Prospects...

Sure we know what the better card is, but what would you rather look at in your collection or on a shelf. I would
say the top prospects, the SP is just washed out.

Definetely one of the things I considered.
Most people HATE the 1963 Pete Rose card. IMHO, it was one of the uggliest cards ever made, and his face is so small you can't see him, and he has to share his rookie with a bunch of unknowns. Initially, I elected to go with probably his 2nd most popular card, the 1964....it's an excellent looking card. Then with time, It just didn't seem to "FIT", and I picked up the original 1963 Topps...I learned to really enjoy it, appreciating it as the "more classic" of the two cards....it also lent itself better to my "rookie" collection.

The SP isn't really an ugly card, it's just the surface on 99% of them leave a lot to be desired, and his auto doesn't show very well either.

Bottom line, after much contemplation, I am happy with my decision, but it wasn't easy...glad I made it now though!
Just curious as to what others thought, and it seems the majority agree with my decision, which isn't always the case

Can't go wrong with Jeter in your collection, still today one of the nicest sigs in baseball.
