Paul SBoth approaches have their merits. In my case, to undertake this, I would want a shot at scoring the Jackson first. I would have to know early on that I'd get a chance at a low grade Jax (I don't even need a bullet hole in it) That is to say, that I could be in on the competition, be considered. Setting aside dollar amount for the moment -- and I have no idea what that is except looking in my Beckett and SCD 2007 which probably doesn't mean anything should the time ever arrive -- am I safe in assuming that this is a card that might once in a while spring up at an auction house, or does it only see the light of day when dealt between fellow traders?
If the situation does arise my strategy is this: I will drag bunt that pitch and run like hell to beat it up the line for a hit (I'm a lefty so there's a decent chance.) If safe, then on my way toward stealing 2nd I could pick up almost all the remainders I need. Once there, I'll be determined enough to beat the throw to 3rd from right field to snag both Wagners. Except then I'll be looking toward home plate and the Mike Mitchell (Cinn) card is catching and I wonder if I'll have anything left. I'll have to make a mad dash toward home with my eyes closed, a suicide squeeze. If my wallet is still in my back pocket after I cross the plate I'll consider myself safe.
