I'm a happy man. Paid $14.99 for a PSA 10 1988 Topps Steve Young. The last one went for $35 (earlier this week).

The card gods are shining upon me. While doing my usually several-times-a-day search for PSA 10 1988 Topps football cards on eBay, I was disappointed to come up with nothing (well, nothing new) for the second straight day. Moments later, I ran into a seller ("puckhd27") who was listing new cards right away for $9.99/Buy It Now $14.99. The first one I noticed was a #4 Record Breaker Joe Montana. Instead of placing the first bid, I just snatched it at $14.99. But that wasn't the best part. As you see in past entries, I lost out on the #39 Steve Young card to a guy who wanted to pay $35 for it after it had been sitting in a seller's store at $16.99 for months. Well "puckhd27" listed that card next...for the same price as the Montana! I snatched it immediately as well for $14.99! Woo hoo! The other card he had at the same price was the #103 Warren Moon which I received a couple days ago from another seller. Other good news is the fantastic $1.50 + $0.50 each additional shipping charges by this seller. I will be checking out his other stuff too. Last night, I opened box one of two 1988 Topps Football and was happy with about eight cards that I felt confident sending into PSA for Gem Mint 10 possibilities. One of those was the infamous #39 Steve Young card, so I'll now have seven to send in from that box. I've never looked so hard at cards before. Any little thing I saw wrong with one of them made me put it in the "no" pile. After the second box, if I do not have 25 total to send in (the current Set Registry special is $5/card with a 25-card minimum) I may double check the "no" pile or just send in other cards.
