T206 Gabby Street backrun

[mrvster]

like I said....so glad you got that STREET YELLOW BROWN! I was starting to feel guilty owning mine!

since there are only three yellow/brown sc 460 fact #30's Streets known to exist!!! you and I own one...one more left out there that we know of...

as you know, that front back/ combo doesn't exist! in order to have a complete run, and bring you run to a different level, you need the error back if the player was available on that scrap sheet! that card is the the "cherry on top"

congrats my friend! I AM JEALOUS OF YOUR COLLECTION!


Plank Scrap, Tinker over print front sov, insane scrap, merkle run, street run, pirate cards WTF!.....I'm experiencing collection ENVY

please leave me in your will!!lol.....along with Leon...

Leon doesn't mind leaving the Matty proof or the Mullaney "rosetta stone of scrap" to me if the time comes.....

OH wait! I was dreaming.....

Great cards everyone - I never get tired of seeing back runs! I will keep my eyes open for the missing few.

Hi guys. Thanks for the kind words. And Johnny, before you get jealous consider this:

Most of my best cards were acquired through sheer luck.
That Plank scrap? I was the underbidder on three other Planks, and finally decided that I was going all in on the next one. Lucky for me, it turned out to be a unique card.
The Merkle run? I lucked into that one when I picked up a Merkle Uzit on ebay, then followed up a year later by getting the Merkle Brown Lenox. It was only after stumbling into those two that I decided to go for the rest of the run. And the Merkle Piedmont 42? I bought the first Piedmont that I found on ebay. It was only after I received the card that I noticed that it was a Factory 42.
The Pirate? Okay, that was a great pick up. But I've had a few big f' ups as well. None of which I wish to describe now.

Well done my friend! I'm in the similar situation.....I have just had great luck and a great eye over the years.....there are a lot I regret letting go like you did

GREAT JOB!



I can now enjoy my yellow brown street thanks to Chris.......felt too guilty before

Johnny, here's the rest of the story about your Street scrap:

You got the card from Goodwin (I think) in June 2013. That same night I was negotiating with Mike S. to buy his Street/ Drum. We agreed at about 10PM EST.

After that, I talked to Chris about the card. I told him that I already had a Street/ BL460, so I might as well do a back run. He mentioned the scrap that was for sale that very night, but it was too late to make an initial bid.

I learned later that you got the scrap. If I had made the deal with Mike one day earlier we would have been bidding against each other.

I'm glad it worked out the way it did.
