    Yeah, well, see to it that it doesn't. I like it much better when you are outbidding Perk.

    Yeah, perk and I have the same collecting taste, so he is my sworn enemy when we are "on the hunt." LOL. I think I outbid him today on a sweet 53 Bowman Tittle..I hope he is not pissed at me for it. image

    image YES RYAN!!!!!!!!! You did Beat me out on that Tittle!!! image/image


    Honestly though, I didnt deserve to win that card with the bid I put in, Im glad it found a good home.. BUT be advised... Had I NOT worked a double today that cards destiny might have been changed a little bit- kinda like made its way to the East Coast!


    Enjoy the card Ryan!


    Snorto, I just might be "Expanding" my tastes towards those sweeeeet looking Leafs...............image


    Edit. And Snorto, just incase you missed the arrival of my WHITE WHALE- her ya go! ( I need to post it again to help me through the pain of missing out on that Tittle! )

    Oi! No Leafs for you! Now you did it, made me go all Leaf Nazi on you.

    Both sweet cards, but I have to assume the Giff rookie was the white whale, yes? Congrats!

    I have always coveted the Tom Landy (sans fedora) from that set... so many cards, so little cash.

    Good luck with the Duke, these early sets are LOADED.

    I've got to find myself a 1948 Bowman Johnny Sain ,in about a 4-5, now and those things don't come up on the bay often.
  • You're right. The last 4 sold on eBay for $19.50 on 3/11/07. The last 5 sold on eBay for $23.27 on 9/23/07.

    It's been over half a year since one was sold! Dang dude! Good luck finding one!

    Snider's RC is not all that tough. I'll be looking for a 6 and the VCP average is $576.42 (much less than I spent on Jackie). One just sold on 3/30/08 for $540.00 on the bay.

    There's a Sain PSA 4 sitting in someone's ebay store for $30. Problem is that they don't accept paypal and I'm not too big on the whole money order thing.

    I'm thinking about just pulling the trigger on a '51 Sain blue back that's a 6 for $40 that's also in an ebay store.

    Drew that Namath is SWEEEEET! I love the yellow background on that card, very nice!

    And a MIGHTY contribution it is! NICE NAMATH man!!

    Although, I have to disagree with this being the best thread here... that honor goes to Bryon's Mantle quest image

    thanks guys, I was stoked to add it to the collection, and at about $275 under last 5 VCP average sale price, I really was pumped at what I got it for. It is definitely the cornerstone of my football card collection. My awesome wife actually urged me to bid on the card and was just as excited to see we won it and called me when it arrived and scanned and e-mailed to me at work.

    That's fantastic man! I'd DEFINITELY recommend re-scanning it with a black background. The colors on that card will pop like Orville Redenbacher man.

    Besides spending the day with my kids, the best present came in the mail today...A 48 Bowman Sid Luckman Rookie PSA 6. I am pumped! The card is MUCH nicer than I thought it would be from the scan I had seen. I have little doubt that it will cross to a 7. Super card!

  • This came in the mail today. All I can ask is got bling?

    I played a little ball in high school, but this will be as close as I will come to a ring.

    1990 Georgia Tech National Championship ring. I was 6 when they won it.

    My camera sucks so here are the auction pics:

    It's the real deal. 10K gold with CZs (the NCAA doesn't use diamonds). The ring fits me so the guy must have been the water boy or something.

    This is a scan of what is supposed to be an NFL made for TV slide Walter Payton 1976 action photo. They had generic slide photos, I guess I'm a little disappointed. Wanted to make a print for a friend who is a big Payton fan.
