Need a Rackie Robinson

OnlyThe10s · March 9, 2008 12:42PM

Yes, the "Rackie" was on purpose

So I sold the 48 Leaf Rackie, and with my other sales this week, my budget is exactly $954.35.

I just signed up for VCP (finally) and it shows that PSA 5's are averaging $534.98, 6's averaging $824.02 and 7's averaging $1,317.26.

So a 7 is out of the question.

Anywhere (other than the Bay) that I might find this card in PSA 6 under a grand?

Thanks for your help.

Patience......and save just alittle more and you may find a deal on that 7 you want most.......

SportsItUpCards · March 9, 2008 9:55PM

You could buy a few decent autos of Rackie with that kind of cash!

These dont show up on eBay all that often, that's why I was looking for other sites that are reputable for vintage.

Yup. Thanks Chris.

jhpfunk · March 10, 2008 4:28AM

Ah. Sorry. I had a killer PSA 7, but it's long gone now.

Still got a pic? I'd love to see it

That one's over budget anyway.

jhpfunk · March 11, 2008 4:38AM

Actually, the bidding is still way under it's market value.

nightcrawler · March 11, 2008 4:45AM

"my budget is exactly $954.35."

I just meant Alans budget, heh heh.

This was, of course, an estimate

1420sports · March 11, 2008 4:56AM

Red Zone has one

Are you threatening me

nightcrawler · March 11, 2008 5:02AM

Wow, that's the first time I've seen a Bowman Jackie, that truely is a great card.

Edit:

Alan, I see why you're interested in one of them, whew.

cwazzy · March 11, 2008 5:27AM

That's a 1950 Bowman. Beautiful card but he's looking for a 1949.

Chris

OnlyThe10s · March 11, 2008 5:34AM

Yup, I need the 49.

It looks like this...

OnlyThe10s · March 11, 2008 5:35AM

Wow, I didnt realize it was so large, sorry guys.

OnlyThe10s · March 13, 2008 9:51AM

Still in the quest for a rackie for about a grand.

Please let me know if you have one or know of a reputable dealer (besides the bay) that may have one.

Thanks all.

OnlyThe10s · March 16, 2008 11:25AM

Can anyone help?

These came up all the time when I DIDNT have the money (go figure) and since I've been ready to purchase, only an OC 5 and a VG3 have come up. Well... an 8 too, but that's way out of my price range.

Anyone know where to find a niceley centered 6 or an average 7?

Thanks!

perkdog · March 16, 2008 11:28AM

Alan, why not go to PSA's homepage and check out all of the "Authorized dealers" they all have website addresses.

OnlyThe10s · March 16, 2008 11:30AM

<< Alan, why not go to PSA's homepage and check out all of the "Authorized dealers" they all have website addresses. >>

Honestly, I had no idea about this. I'll take a look Paul, and thanks!

OnlyThe10s · March 16, 2008 11:35AM

Dang, not one of them has a 49 Bow Rackie for sale.

gumbyfan · March 16, 2008 12:57PM

Thanks for the play-by-play.

Good luck with your search.

bluemarlin · March 16, 2008 2:11PM

PSA 5 ROBINSON

This one is centered but the borders are a little dark.

Hey man, this is the quest for my dream card, I just figured I'd share with everyone.

We cant all have something as special as a Jim Gantner card to look forward to.

OnlyThe10s · March 16, 2008 9:45PM

<< PSA 5 ROBINSON

Jake >>

I saw that one. It's ridiculously overpriced though. It's got "better than a 5" centering, but I've seen dead-centered 5's go for $550 ish.

VCP on a 5 right now is $534.98.

Thanks for helping though! I appreciate it!

Whats wrong with collecting a player you like. Everyone doesn't have to collect HOF'ers.

I know Clemaz, that was just a dig back at him for his comment. He doesnt like me and I dont like him. Just a bit of witty banter I guess.

No worries man.

I wouldn't call belittling someone's collection witty banter.

The joy, which is the foundation of collecting, of gumby getting an elusive Gantner is equal to you getting your Robinson; the only difference being is the price tag.

Not looking to get into a flame war, I'm just saying..

WinPitcher · March 16, 2008 11:09PM

Yes, his saying 'good luck in your search' was a dig.

Insert sarcastic icon here.

Steve

OnlyThe10s · March 16, 2008 11:19PM

You're all right, and I'm worng. I retract my statement.

You all did, of course, miss the "Thanks for the play by play" comment which was quite obviously insinuating that I was giving too much information, or in some way inconveniencing him.

It was a blatant dig, so I just wanted to dig back, that's all.

No worries all.. no fire to fuel...

Can we get back to Rackie now?

WinPitcher · March 16, 2008 11:22PM

Sorry but I did not take it that way. I think you analyze too much.

OnlyThe10s · March 16, 2008 11:23PM

I'm pretty sure I already apologized and we've moved on Steve.

Thank you.

WinPitcher · March 16, 2008 11:31PM

You may have moved on, but I'm not sure you can speak for the forum.

Or can you?

Steve

OnlyThe10s · March 16, 2008 11:43PM

LOL. You really thrive on this stuff dont you Steve?

Anyways, I apologized and I moved on.

Feel free to say what you will.

Unless, of course, Alan is the guy selling the Gantner...then they could actually have similar price tags.

OnlyThe10s · March 17, 2008 4:27AM
