Those Knicelys are tough to get and usually get snatched up pretty quickly by the savvy collectors. I keep it as a saved search in my ebay search list but that card hasn't come up for sale in a long time. It's on my 2009 collecting goals to get one though.

Dare to dream...

Dear Blackborder and 41GoudeyGuy,

Well, they do say that timing is everything. Imagine what might have been.

Dear Elemenopeo,

I know it's a little bit late in the game, but can you imagine where you would be now if you had started with a 1986 Topps TIFFANY Alan Knicely? Or even 1986 Topps Alan Knicely PSA 9? Or even the grandaddy of them all, an AUTOGRAPHED 1986 Topps Alan Knicely? But I suppose when you reach your Mantle, it will be all the more impressive that you started with a base Knicely.

Hah! I'm so tempted to post my brother-in-law's email address here so that you can alll send your thoughts on this matter to him regarding the trade of the Landis letter. Blame that m.f. for taking me out to a local bar (on a Monday night, mind you) and buying me a sufficient amount of drinks to the point that I think it best to wait until late Tuesday morning, at the earliest, to respond to all this evening's posts. For now, I'll just say y'all are the best, and thanks for your patience and support. And that fandango can bite me. (Quote it while you can.)

The only update is that I found out yesterday my brother-in-law smashed up his knee when he slipped on the ice walking home from the bar. It's literally a walk of about half a block. I can't wait to razz him about needing a designated walker.

The new guy.... a 1951 Bowman Warren Spahn PSA 8 picked up in an exchange with gumbyfan for the Landis letter. Thanks again, Craig.





The VCP data...

9/21/08 eBay $306.00
8/31/08 eBay $426.01
8/19/08 eBay $475.00 (BIN)
2/14/08 Mile High $465.30
10/1/07 eBay $307.00
5/24/07 eBay $335.85
12/3/06 eBay $447.77
11/16/05 Memory Lane $656.00

I suppose it's worth noting that my Spahn is the same copy that sold on 8/19/08 for $475.

It took awhile, but I'm very happy with this trade. I believe the card is solidly in line with the value of the Landis letter, and it's pretty clearly a step up in value from the Griffey RC which I traded for the letter.

So, onward and hopefully upward. I still have a hankering for pre-war items, but I'm always willing to consider ANY ideas for a trade.... PM or email..... elemenopeo@gmail.com

Not saying anything bad about the trade but that card did not get a ST qualifier with that wax stain??

I'm no expert on these, but it's my understanding that such staining is rampant on the early Bowman issues because there was only one card in each pack... and if I remember right, the staining is actually not from wax but from a cookie that the cards came with. So, because some degree of staining seems more expected than not, the early Bowman issues probably get more leniency on that than would most other issues... Just a theory.

the wax will not get a qualifier on early issues in most situations. Elemenopeo is correct.
