Thanks! I hope you get yours one day!
It was too good to pass up (for me)


All the best!



QUOTE=maximus35;1594179]Josh congrats on winning this card. I was bidding against you. I didn't expect it to go for so much but it's an extremely rare card and I would love to own one in any condition. I'm scared to buy any extremely expensive cards off ebay so my only hope is waiting till the National in Chicago next July or hopefully one will pop up in REA or Heritage. After getting burned a few times off ebay buying PSA and SGC cards with cracked holders that are reglued...I think I'm sticking to buying in person. I see so many cards on ebay that are trimmed and reglued shut in PSA and SGC holders. Personally I wouldn't buy any Sgc graded cards unless I bought them in person as their holders are extremely easy to Crack open and reseal. It's tough to tell thru scans online. In person it's more obviously.

It pisses me off that so many crooks are out there. it's running this hobby we all love. I wish Joe Orlando would open his eyes more and make the PSA holders thicker and more difficult to break into like Beckett holders. My idea would be to make the outside border a dark color like black that way if the holder was tampered with, the clouding around the edges would way more noticeable in scans and in person. What are your guys thoughts on this matter?[/QUOTE]
