    Nice card Kabir. Is the auto authentic? I'm assuming it is, but are you going to submit it to PSA/DNA for verification?

    Kabir, do you know why this comes with a certification from psa/dna as oppesed to being holdered and encapsulated? just curious. thanks

    I think the person didn't know about PSA/DNA or didn't want it graded it could be anything...regardless I will be getting it slabbed as soon as I get it for protection.

    Cert #B57423 was authenticated march 9, 2004.

    I have not seen any cards, on ebay, authenticated at the old $50 level since the grading special was introduced last year. Seems odd the owner would spend the extra $30, but maybe he wanted the 81/2 x 11 COA.

    Kabir, it looks like Schr1st's snipe cost you about $90. You both have good taste. I would have bid but my priorities are changing. Good luck with the grading the card doesn't look to be trimmed or bleached. I think it will pass.

    Actually, Kabir's bid was the only one that met the reserve. My maximum was $389 (silly me, I should have made it an odd # over $390, but oh well), but that bid didn't make reserve (it only raised the bidding to $305). I congratulated Kabir over on the Beckett board already, but congrats are in order here as well.

    Are you still in the HOF game....we need all the collectors we can get....
  • UllrUllr Posts: 185 ✭✭✭
    Yes I am still collecting just not as aggressive.

    My wife and I are expecting our first child any day now. imageimageimageimageimageimageimageimage

    We've also finally found a building lot we can agree on and will most likely be homeowners by Dec. 1st

    I am not selling my graded cards and plan to have a lot of my raw Football autographs graded by year end. Baseball autographs are getting tough. I'm at 45% and there are only a few realistic players that I can pick up regularly online. Getting to 65% should take at least 5 years.

    Hey Kabir-

    Thats a pretty cool card, lets hope that passes PSA/DNA and get slabbed. I know it has a certificate and all, but there must be a reason why it wasn't put in a holder. Thats a pretty cool card, Congrats!!!

    Heres my latest win

    Ullr-

    Congrats!!! To you and your wife!

    I know the excitement of having your child soon to come into the world!

    My 1st born son Jeffrey was born last year and this Thursday he'll be 1 years old. image

    I went and sold off my entire T206 collection of 166 cards last year thinking I'll need money for diapers, but it's wasn't that bad. After selling my collection, I found myself returning to collect the set once again. I guess I couldn't give them up so easily. As for this Autograph set I'm building, I figure I'll most likely pass it over to my son and we can collect the cards as a father and son team. How exciting you must be feeling, I'm over joyed for you and the misses.

    Ullr,

    Congrats on your first child and owning a home soon, you are right HOF collection will slow down a lot that is why if I find something that is not going to pop up a lot I will beg borrow and steal to win it image

    Also I do hope it gets graded....

    Jery,

    That is a very nice Wheat card....I am still holding out for his auto on a regular card but losing hope fast and might get one of those cuts auto.
