If you want a display piece, there’s nothing close you are getting for that money. Seems like it sold for the right amount when so many altered cards that snuck by the goalie sell for 10x that. I kinda feel it’s more honest to buy this than a vintage 8 or 9 I know was likely tweaked but feel better because it has a number.
"something like this is never getting by a Tpg" I'm still standing in awe over a business model where we collectors hand over large sums of money and a piece of cardboard to a clerk at the TPA. It then disappears behind presumably closed doors and a few grown men and boys decide how much it it is worth. And we can do it over and over again until we get it "right." Right ?
