Laney - Yikes!!! That is definitely USPS's fault. Sucks that the seller took so long in the first place, but that doesn't explain why it stayed in the empty box for so long :? Nice card by the way.

Thanks. The seller ticked me off, $6.50 to ship (yes I knew how much and didn't care) and he states he will ship within 2 days of receiving payment. I mentioned this to him and he basically said oh well, he thought his wife had shipped it.

Nice card Bruce. I remember that card. I think Z told me about it and said that those were super rare and that I should pick it up off the bay. Something about only a small few were signed in red ink. Sweet pickup!

Guy listed a Bruce Red auto, BIN/BO $400. He countered my offer, wants $300 telling me commons are selling for $175. :lol:

God love eBay sellers, cause I sure as hell don't :twisted:

I sent him some closing prices to include Papi $90, Reyes $114 and Howard $200. I told him I would give $150 if the corners were sharp.

Yup. Just looked it up. No announced print run, and only 21 players had these made. Very cool!

 

[muskiesfan]

Bruce- That really sucks. I hope they get everything straightened out for you soon. Those black and white Sweet Spots are very cool.

Jeff- Nice pick ups. An autographed Griffey baseball is always awesome. That Peyton Manning 5x7 is pretty sweet too.

Dave (p)- Thanks bud. Nice pick ups. Is that Bay's first auto in a Red Sox uniform? It looks very cool. Definitely cool that they used the pic from Jackie Robinson day.

Here's my mailday from yesterday.

2008 Absolute Rookie Premiere Materials Spectrum /10

The patch is absolutey sick.

Hey Brian, thanks. So far they seem to be rare. Magic has 2 and Roy has 1, and those are the only others I've seen.

 

[blanning71]

thats just wrong! I hope the parents pay back every single cent that was used to help "rescue/hunt" for this kid. Damn hoaxers.

 

[George_Calfas]

What type of card are we talkin about George?

 

[blanning71]

Oh I have no doubt they are super rare. I only saw one on ebay. The rest had a different color ink.

 

[blanning71]

Very nice George. I love the look of those red autos. I think that 300 seems a tad high. Maybe around 125-150ish?

Dave (p)- Thanks bud. Nice pick ups. Is that Bay's first auto in a Red Sox uniform? It looks very cool. Definitely cool that they used the pic from Jackie Robinson day.

thanks Joe and no it's not his first in a Sox uni. that patch is awesome and I like that there is a piece of football on there as well.

Bay's 1st auto in a Sox uniform...

2008 UD Timelines

 

[George_Calfas]

Oh I have no doubt they are super rare. I only saw one on ebay. The rest had a different color ink.

Reds are hand serial numbered to 10, the blues have different "stated" print runs.
I have a complete blue set.

 

[metallicalex777]

George - Best o' luck on the Bruce :? Any other "future" pickups on their way??

Joe - Whatsup Broseph :mrgreen: That is quite the nice patch there

Kevin - Enjoy work...glad you are feeling better enough to even sit through traffic. Can't wait to see the Smoltz...PM coming soon

I think he was still talking about the Sweet Spots

 

[George_Calfas]

Alex, nothing else just some doubles, maybe
You? anything on the list?

Indeed I was but after going back to the last page, I can see how it can be confusing.

Dave (p)- Thank you. I thought the piece of football was a cool touch too. The Timelines is a nice card too. You mentioned awhile ago that you had to upgrade to photobucket pro, but that you were going to try to start a site. How's that coming along? I think people with incredible collections (this includes you) should definitely have a website to showcase their collections. I don't know **** about making a site, so I don't know how difficult it is, but I was just wondering if that was still the plan.

Alex- What's up homie? I have a huge favor to ask you. I'll be shooting you a PM shortly. How have you and Jen been?

George- Good luck on the Bruce red! I hope you land it. That red set in it's PSA slabs is going to be down right dirty when you finish it.
