On Friday I picked up a couple boxes of 2008 Legendary Cuts from Finnigan's Sports Cards in Albany,NY.The first box had a Bob Lemon Cut.The second had a Joe Carter autograph.The third had this:

Ummmmmmmm, simply WOW!!!!! Dunno what to say LOL. Beautiful card, congrats!!!!

CDsNuts · July 20, 2008 1:19AM

Congrat on the Joe Carter auto. Not often do you pull an auto of a world series hero.

bman90278 · July 20, 2008 1:23AM

Congrats on your pulls. Enjoy them!

JeremyDie1 · July 20, 2008 1:23AM

Wow! Thats awesome! Three cut autos in 3 boxes! Thats amazing good luck. Even better with the names you pulled.

Thanks Lee.I expected nothing less but humor.

CDsNuts · July 20, 2008 1:31AM

Glad I did not disappoint. But seriously, great pull. Looks like this was the last of the 3 pulled and is worth about $2,000. The other 2 have been on ebay:

very, very nice - congrats!!!!

CDsNuts · July 20, 2008 1:34AM

Nice one itz. Not sure how I didn't come up with it first. Must be the hangover.

hofautos · July 20, 2008 1:36AM

DANG! SWEET!
I have such addictive characteristics, I don't dare start busting wax, but this makes it tempting...nah...

GOOD JOB! CONGRATS!!

baseballfan · July 20, 2008 1:37AM

wow!!

i always wondered who pulled those types of cards, congrats

itzagoner · July 20, 2008 1:38AM

Thank guys.

Congratulations, probably the nicest pull I have seen posted here.

Worth $2,000?? Yeah, right. Lee, you better do some more homework. Try at least $4,000-$4,500 for a clean Gehrig cut auto....

But...... if he will take $2,000, I'll buy it today.

CDsNuts · July 20, 2008 2:12AM

I really have no idea, just basing the $2k on the bid that didn't mean the guy's reserve. $4k-$5k is even better.

I was happy just to get a Gehrig but what made it better is that it is very bold and fits in the window perfectly.

<< I really have no idea, just basing the $2k on the bid that didn't mean the guy's reserve. $4k-$5k is even better. >>

He ended it early. Probably to sell off-line, to avoid fees and such.

I deal mostly in autographs over anything, and the market is about $4,000-$4,500 for a Gehrig cut, if there is not a piece of game used material with it, like Donruss done with Prime cuts. Those will command more.

Tedw9 · July 20, 2008 2:30AM

HOLY CRAP!! Sweet freaking pull! It is a nice cut, compared to some of the junk they are putting out now. Congrats to you!

Are you gonna keep or sell it? I ask because I like to display my nice cards/autos with McFarlane figures as I feel it really adds to the display. And McFarlane just announced they are doing a Gehrig figure, I think they would look incredible together.

Either way, congrats on an incredible pull.

Thanks for the estimate.That is great news.I think I am going to keep it for a bit.It is pretty incredible to me.It is the most historical thing I have ever had the opportunity to own.

Fantastic!

GOODLIEU · July 20, 2008 5:29AM

Just curious as to what a legendary cuts box sells for ?

justmichael · July 20, 2008 5:37AM

I get Cuts at $100-$110.

AragornTheBold · July 20, 2008 5:54AM

Wow that is impressive, you need to make a trip to Vegas before your luck runs out

Bosox1976 · July 20, 2008 6:23AM

Wow! Spectacular sig.

yankeeno7 · July 20, 2008 6:47AM

Wow Mike! That is incredible! That's one reason why Fig's store is awesome...you dont have to worry about packs or boxes being weighed, etc. Was this from one of the group breaks? Im glad to see it was you that got it! Congrats!

justmichael · July 20, 2008 8:55AM

Barry it wasn't from a group break.The case it came from was supposed to be for a group break but it got pushed back so he opened it for boxes.I was waiting for you to see it.

elsnorto · July 20, 2008 9:05AM

UD actually did a pretty nice job on that cut... then again ANY Gehrig signature would be the centerpiece of many collections. He is truly one of the game's elite legends, right up there with Ruth in my mind at least. Congrats on the phenomenal pull!

Snorto~

stown · July 20, 2008 9:13AM

Awesome pull and thanks for sharing.

fattymacs · July 20, 2008 9:59AM

Congrats on landing that one, I don't really care about sigs, but that is pretty cool.

justmichael · July 20, 2008 10:27AM

Thanks again everyone.

nam812 · July 20, 2008 10:33AM

Reese3333 · July 20, 2008 10:49AM

Congrats! The Gehrig is an incredible card!

DrJ · July 20, 2008 11:15AM

Really nice card. Not sure what I would do with the card if I had it in my collection though. I would probably end up leaving it locked up all the time in fear of theft or damage. Take a few pictures of you and the card and sell the bad boy!

Stingray · July 21, 2008 12:32AM

Great pull, but if you look closely you can see the indents from what appear to be other sigs on the backside of the whatever the Gehrig sig is on. Wonder who those could have been??

Goot · July 21, 2008 12:54AM

PSA 6.

Sorry.

Estil · July 21, 2008 10:30AM

So the only question now is; are you going to keep it or cash in?

ldferg · July 21, 2008 10:34AM

nice pull. glad to see a board member pulled the last one.

Pete14Rose · July 21, 2008 11:34AM

Incredible pull! Congrats!

rube26105 · July 21, 2008 1:29PM

justmichael · July 21, 2008 1:31PM
