Congrats on the nice card!

I don't know anything about Josh Johnson, so you'll have to forgive my ignorance.
Why do you consider it a steal? None of his other autos seem to come close to that.

He's a stud of a pitcher but has had Tommy John surgery already so it's hard for me to invest that kind of money in him, even at 25.

The Marlins will likely lose him after 2010.

All-Star this past season. Not a steal, just sarcasim there :oops:

I got his '06 SP Authentic 1/1 Auto for about $60 less, shipped, than this one ::facepalm::

Wax - I hope they deal him and either Uggla or Nolasco to the Twins. I would be giddy if that deal ever transpired.

Super - Someday I'll get a scanner. The wife is getting antsy about getting a computer. I told her, the only thing that we need with said computer is a scanner. When that happens, ugh, the world will end because everyone will see what I've been hoarding :oops:

...some projections have him signing a 9 figure contract when he does indeed leave the Marlins. He is that good.

I just pray that he doesn't end up in NYC :pray: ...

Apologies to you....I had a snipe set at 99.99. Hey, if he does end up in NYC, SELL! I was sniping JUST because of the ebay down time, and am shocked at how low it ended with all of the big market specualtion around a possible Johnson move.

Very nice price on that! During the season the regular versions #'d/999 were going for $30-$40 at one point. I really like Johnson and have a small PC of him on the side.

No need to apologize :P It was at $51 with 12 seconds left or so and I was getting stoked. Had my max of $111.51 in. Lost the Sterling Red when I knew I should've went $30 more than what I had put in ::facepalm:: . If he moves, I'm literally sitting on a Cash for Goldmine (but I wouldn't move anything :oops: )


carter - I won a Black Topps Chrome Refractor Auto /200 for about $14 shipped too. During the season that was around $40 - $50, so I'm stoked about that. When he dueled with Johan in his second '09 start (which was on TBS), his stuff was white hot. Topps Chrome Refractor Autos /500 were going for at least $45. I didn't move any of mine then ... :oops:

This one here seemed to go incredibly cheap. I had lost a few back in '08, for about $20 shipped (either because I bid and forgot to re-bid or just forgot to bid at all) and couldn't pry one outta a guy's store for $37 shipped in May :oops: . Won one finally for about $25 shipped in June (on auction).

Got this one mere moments ago though. $11 shipped is incredibly cheap :shock:

Super - No clue on the % of what I own. Need to finding and winning some plates to bump up the percentage though.

I will post my Josh Johnson collection link or just copy / paste the list to see. I have some decent stuff coming in too, minus the 1/1 and the Ult. Auto / JSY /35.
