Would you take $175 for this?

[Johan Santana 57]

Hey guys, I have been unloading Johans as many know, and got an offer on one of the best ones I have left.

$175 for this:

2004 Sweet Spot Black Signature 1/1

I did not pay 175 for it and would be making some $$ on it, but it is such a sweet card and one of my best I have left. Looking for any opinions on it, thanks!

Take that loot brotha !

Clearly if you are unloading some Santana cards you are currently preferring money over cards...therefore it's an easy "yes, take the money."

Well yes I am, but I had about 3-4x the amount of cards I still have left (had over 150 AUs). He is still my favorite player but that is a lot of $$ for the card so I am debating.

I feel that is a GREAT price to let it go...it is a great card, but you may be able to find another 1/1 even better at a lesser price. Either way...$175 is a great deal on your half IMO :mrgreen:

IMO that was a very ugly set. Getting any cash for that card would be an upgrade to me.

Sell fast.

I would highly consider it.

I would sell the card. While it is a 1/1 the look is not much different from other Johan Sweet Spot autos. You could probably pick up another SS auto for about an eighth of what you get for the 1/1.

If you are making $$ on the card & aren't really into the player collecting thing on Johan then it would be a definite yes on that $$ offer! I'm not trying to bash the card (as it is a great one to have for a Johan collector) but it really doesn't hold any real significance in my opinion as it is not a rookie card, it doesn't hold any type of significance in the hobby (ex. a subset commemorating 300 Win's or 500 HR's, etc) other than the serial # that is stamped on it- 1/1 (& they make more & more of those every year; also it is not as if Johan is deceased & there will probably be MANY more of his 1/1 auto's being produced for year's to come! SELL, SELL, SELL!

Thanks for the opinions guys!

Probably the best offer you are going to get....also it could very well fade

I think the FCB MB needs random drug testing.

Haha unique, I ended up taking the offer, thanks for the help!

 

[cutnitclose]

Sold!!! please pay the cashier..

 

[MojoDan]

Given this economic climate...YES.

If you arent strapped and can hold on, I cant imagine he wont be mentioned for the CY...

Tough call I guess
