A Happier Story...

[sbfinley]

I've been a bit of a pr!ck today today and I need some good karma. The morning of opening day I hit the BIN on this card for $4 just because I heard good things about him coming out of spring training. Of course he went on a tear and had an amazing start. The card never marked as shipped and as he homered pretty much every single day, I just assumed the odds of it never arriving were infinity%. After game 5 or 6 I won another copy of this exact card for many multiples of that $4 bin and sure enough both arrived in the past 24 hours. I don't need two, so if anyone knows someone who might get a little enjoyment from this card PM an address and it's theirs. Ideally I'd like it to go to a kid, a Rockies fan (who is also a kid) would be even more ideal if they exist in the wild . Just PM me and it will be mailed to the first new home provided Monday or Tuesday. He might be a superstar. He might be Kevin Maas. But if someone out there my get some enjoyment out it, I'd be happy to provide it. Since this card obviously isn't pre-war, if a mod wants to move to a different section I won't be offended.

Also, a shout out to Kyle's SportsCards in Aurora, CO for following through on a transaction that I wouldn't be surprised if numerous dealers and sellers would have canceled to make a couple extra bucks.

You are the man!

I just noticed my inbox being full and cleared out some.
But even better is to see the updated thread here!
We'll enjoy the card and the "story" behind its acquisition

Ps- my boy's name is John

Good to hear it wasn't a 'pricing error'!
