Perhaps against my better judgment, I've decided to dip one toe into the pool of Modern cards to test the water. I've been a vintage guy all the way, but the buzz around my Cubbies has gotten me into taking a look at Modern.
I've been picking up mid-range Kris Bryant cards for a few months now, and am ready to jump for one of the big boys. Would like to purchase one of the 2013 Bowman Chrome Draft Autographed Refractors -- prefer the Blue version (99), but would also consider the standard refractor (500). Would possibly consider Gold or Black. Prefer graded, BGS 9.5 would be ideal.
Also interested in the 2014 Bryant Bowman Chrome Auto Blue (150) or regular refractor (500), but my priority is snagging one of the 2013 versions.
Would also probably jump on a 2009 Mike Trout Bowman Chrome Autograph Refractor as well, if anyone is actually ready to call time on his potential and cash in...
Will pay market value on the card, with payment via no-fee PP Gift or whatever your preferred method of payment is.
I know I'll probably lose 90% of the value eventually, but I'm in it for the fun. Thanks in advance!
I'd welcome anyone's advice about modern cards as well, if you want to reply or PM me -- it seems like a strange, alternate universe to collecting Vintage so far...
