A bad Schmidt rookie pull from a 73 pack

zsz70

I bought some more packs off of packcollector.

I decided to open a few because they had some rips on them.

I noticed the back of this Schmidt rookie first.
I didn't see the front because the card was backwards.


Wait till you see the centering !!!

If anyone wants it for ninety bucks, give me a shout.
It's a NM-MT Schmidt rookie, but you can see the centering for yourself.

You'll like the one I just FedEx'ed to you a lot better - although the cut on that one is nice - just badly centered.

Marc,

One of the reasons I bought yours was because I didn't want to
open any more packs. It was either opening 20 packs or buying
your card. I think I made the right decision, but who knows.

Some of the cards that come out of those packs are great.
Some of them aren't. What's nice is that you know that you can
get a few beauties out of them as long as you stay away from
bad centering.

Heh....


with all the recent posts of cruel or just downright dishonest ebay auctions, you
should run one for it with a pic of it on a cream background or no pic....

Marc - I know the heart-sinking feeling. I opened some '85 vending boxes a couple of years back, and you know those half dozen or so cards that Topps laid over the brick on top inside each box? The ones where one or two are always half folded down the side of the brick? Upside down, right on top, neatly folded almost in half - I recognized the back first of a McQwire rookie...

...it was like coming home and finding your goldfish belly up in the bowl.
