Agreed. I haven't been this excited for some baseball in at least a decade.

Modern --- you ought to be ashamed of your self. What would Mr. Richter say?

BTW -- I have the 2016 Spring Fever Correa is you want it. Sitting on my desk at home, I'll try to remember to bring the card on Saturday.

(In case you are wondering why I'm dong this -- it's also part of an inside joke with the two of us,
in a conversation that is something similar to this one which occurred in Triple Cards in Plano)

I see a horribly mis cut group of 2016 Heritage on the front counter

Dealer/Collector in the store said their worthless, I mention I have a customer for them (BTW LAXCAT is that customer -- and if you have any ANY off cut old or new cards which show other cards please contact him)

Dealer/Collector changed tune from: I throw them away to "IS THERE A PREMIUM on them?" Nothing like a good old fashioned change of tune on a dime

I also collect miscut and print errors and have had this happen too many time to count.

I'm a taker on any Correas I don't have. Of course the MC as well. I've run into that. More often it is the exact opposite. I have regular customers that give me stacks of MC's whenever I see them. A few dealers also know I'm good for a trade from my $1 boxes for the MC's that they deem as worthless.

Cat out of the bag: I'm working on a complete run of sets from 57-79 that are MC with a portion of another card on them. Baseball & Football. I don't make my list public b/c I'm afraid of a price increase.

They are fun & modern MC's are a bear to find.

I call this one "Mission Accomplished"
