Would rather have a clean 4 for $500-700, but these have become harder to find lately. I think there are clearly some registry guys pushing the higher grades on these. Great cards, prices are still reasonable frankly, especially in nice conditions.

Last 10 cards (which I don’t think are particularly more difficult than other commons) have gotten much harder to find and took me a few years.

Paul, good luck finding a T3 Criger you are happy with to complete your set. From what I saw, the T3s in this auction seemed to go for a wide range of prices for similar grades, but there was 1 that I thought went a lot lower than I would have expected - the SGC 5 Tenney NY and Boston variation sold for only $1171. When I was looking for this card, I saw much worse condition ones offered and sold for around this price or higher as it is one of the tougher variations in the set so whoever got it at this price did pretty well.

that was me! I was excited that I got that one at that price, it does seem to be harder to find. the others I have seen and passed on for various reasons, but that one was elusive.

Definitely a nice pickup for that price. Congrats.
