Well it was my usual Friday. I went Down to hang out out my local card shop for awhile and chew the fat. We were talking about the 2007 topps that should be coming out next week. I noticed he still had a box of 06 topps on the shelf so what the helll I said i'll buy it lets rip it.

Ripped all the packs and started looking the inserts up in beckett. Holy chit I thought it said this card was worth 35.00 a second look and I realized this modern piece a chit books for 350.00.

Anyone know why this card is so valuable and who the heck is Bobby Jenks Of course I'm putting it on the bay and getting rid of it quick before the down arrow comes along

HoofHearted · February 16, 2007 8:52AM

It is a nice looking card, 80sJ, but definitely not $350 worth of nice!

PM not sent.

Best of luck selling it!

<<It is a nice looking card, 80sJ, but definitely not $350 worth of nice!>>

You got that right hoof but I'm sure some master collector will want it then I can go by some nice 80's boxes with the profit.

Haha its been on ebay fifteen minutes I already got 2 offers.

Is this thing that rare whos the 06 topps expert in here

lawnmowerman · February 16, 2007 9:01AM

Maybe the game used glove was used in the world series?

I dont even know who that guy is

Chisox closer, he's a beast.

80sJunkie · February 16, 2007 9:03AM

Yeah it was a world series game used glove. Shoot I had to check last months beckett to make sure the book price wasn't a typo

KOBEcollector · February 16, 2007 9:04AM

Bobby Jenks throws the ball hard, real hard

Even his slider hits 88 mph

Does it say on the back of the card, game used in the World series glove? The photo on the card is of him pitching in the WS using a black glove and the card has a piece of a brown glove.

lawnmowerman · February 16, 2007 9:11AM

Keep it up and 80sJ is gonna pull that auction down and keep the card!!

XanaduNow · February 16, 2007 9:32AM

Gary,

Well the good thing about this card is you won't have to worry if it is trimmed, re-colored, authentic, washed, miscut, pressed or anything else

Nice pull

PuertoRicanFogBank · February 16, 2007 10:17AM

Piece of a glove inserted into a card?

Ahhhhhhhhh, the silliness.

80sJunkie · February 16, 2007 10:59AM

Not sure is this the first time they have ever used a piece of glove in a relic card?

kylehess10 · February 16, 2007 11:03AM

ahhhh I hate game used glove cards. It's about as worthless to cut up as vintage game used memorabilia. Player's use fielding gloves for usually atleast 1 full season, unlike stuff like jersey's and bats. And players like Andruw Jones use their gloves for up to 3 years. I don't think they should be cutting them up if they're THAT rare IMO

NickM · February 16, 2007 11:04AM

No, it's not. Gloves have been around for years in cards. The market hasn't quite caught on to how few pieces you get from a glove compared to a jersey and how players don't want to regularly switch gloves.

The supply of these will always be a lot more limited than most other GU cards.

Nice pull 80's

Modern chit or not!

Stone193 · February 16, 2007 11:20AM

Interesting...

This GU jersey card went for a penny.

Not sure how rare this is - did you put it up on a BIN - best offer thing?

A guy tried to sell his GU cleats on a BIN for 600$ - no soap.

Good luck 80s!

Carew29 · February 16, 2007 11:55AM

I must be getting older---every game that i saw Mr. Jenks pitch in, he came out with a black glove. I would "assume" the whole glove to be black. That piece was brown.....and i will leave it at that.

Interesting point carew

If ya look at the pic with the GU glove - it's black isn't it?

Hmmmmm....interesting again.

Don't ya just love conspiracies.

thats a nice card 80sj

NHLfightguy · February 16, 2007 12:28PM

Just like I thought, the back says nothing about the glove being game used in the World Series. Topps is tricky saying Bobby Jenks is a World Series Champion on the back.

80sJunkie · February 25, 2007 11:58AM

Holy chit I just sold this thing on ebay for $400 and it only books at $350.00 must be something special about this thing. Oh well not a bad return on a $30 box

Wow! Thats great!

Seeing those WS Jenkins cards are breaking my heart

ldferg · February 25, 2007 12:07PM

Gary,
congrats on the sale. looks like you came out well on the box.

Stone193 · February 25, 2007 1:09PM

Congratulations Gary.

That's incredible! I could do a lot of damage with 400 bucks!

I might be one of the only people in the world that has the whole set. Here's the quick rundown. These World Series relic cards were inserts in the 2006 Topps Series 1 set. The set has a total of 17 cards, and they were distributed in different tiers. The three cards that were the toughest to pull were all #/100 (although this isn't printed on the back of the card). The Jenks glove card, the Buehrle glove card, and the Everett grey uniform card are all really hard pulls. I don't believe the gloves or jerseys are actually world series game used....just only 2005 game used. It's a cool set for a White Sox fan.

RoarIn84 · February 25, 2007 7:54PM

nice sale, but for a CLOSER????? how many closers have RCs that are over $50???? Rollie Fingers is the only one i know of (and The Eck don't count; he started half of his career). this guy won't be any different. nobody respects a save. you get points for simply not screwing up!! Reminds me of one of the greatest fallacies in baseball history when Willie Hernandez won AL MVP with 32 saves. nowadays, closers fart that many.....

cohocorp · February 25, 2007 9:34PM

congrats gary

80sJunkie · February 26, 2007 1:44PM

brian26 just curious how much it cost you to put that set together?

brian26 · February 28, 2007 7:18AM

I didn't keep track, and thankfully so since it would probably make me ill

It was probably close to a grand.

Heres a nice card I pulled today.
