Two months ago today (Woo hoo!! Happy anniversary!!) I had nasty shoulder surgery done to reattach a tendon and fix other problems (we all know it as rotator cuff surgery), and I have been paying through the butt ever since for the honor. The unintended consequence is, due to certain bonuses, I was able to rack up a good amount of credit card points.
So, here's the deal. I basically have about $300 to spend on something (mostly) via these points. Therefore, payment method would have to be through eBay or PayPal G & S, etc., so I will be able to use said points. That is a must. Can't do 'friends & family.' Here's a list of stuff I am always interested in... • HOF'ers in nice shape from the 50's through early 70's (preferably graded, but open to cards in their natural state) • Willie Mays, Hank Aaron, Mickey Mantle, Sandy Koufax, Jackie Robinson, Ted Williams, Roberto Clemente, Babe Ruth and Nolan Ryan cards • 1971 Topps Greatest Moments (graded from 5 to 8?) • Tough to find errors and variations from the 50's through the early 70's • 1964 Topps Stand-Ups (need virtually any in nice shape) • 1961-67 Topps high numbers and SP's • 1963 Fleer BB stars and HOF'ers in nice shape • 1967 Laughlin World Series (with address on back) in high grade • Major HOFer rookie cards • 1954 Bowman BB stars and HOF'ers in nice shape (also need a helluva lot of commons) • 1954 Red Heart BB (need virtually any in nice shape) • And who knows what else? A couple of things: • I know it's basically 'free' money (as I said, this free money is costing me a crapload), but I still need to get a good deal. • The card has to be something I want at a price that really works. • Please don't try to sell me things you're forever looking to pawn off on someone. I don't want to be a dumpster diver behind your card shop. ![]() • I mainly buy graded stuff these days (let the arrows fly!), so I'm more partial to slabbed cards. • As long as the card looks decent enough, qualifiers are perfectly fine. • I've seen 'everything' on eBay. Hopefully none of this came over as harsh. That's not my intent. If you got something decent that may fit the parameters, please give me a shout.

With prices in today's market, I don't see $300 being an amount that is going to buy you many items within your parameters.
I was in the loan business for many years and had a doctor-friend who wanted to invest some money in mortgage loans. His parameters were: high interest return, low risk and quick return on his money. I told him to wait in line behind me. lol Glad your surgery went well. And good luck in your search. |
