Home Trading Cards & Memorabilia Forum

I want to share with you guys a card that just popped for me. (Scans added front page)

I'll post the scan when I get it back tomorrow, but you've already seen the card.

1 1 20960471 GEM MINT 10 1980 TOPPS 482 RICKEY HENDERSON

I compared it to Dmitri Young's before sending it in...and figured if his could get a 10, this one had a chance: Link

This was the card handyman pulled from the 1980 Grocery Pack that he bought from me. I bought this back from him and sent it in under the 1 day 125.00 Walkthrough service as I knew it had a shot.

  • WOW! $125 well spent
    From what I can tell, 707 is the DOLLAR STORE compared to deans_cards. For what that guy charges, if I ever bought anything from him I would expect it to be delivered to me in a frickin' limo.

    Wow awesome card. That's cool of handyman to sell it back to you instead of subbing it himself. Congrats maybe now you can buy that Eddie Mathews collection back.

    Wow. One of us is living the dream. What an insane self sub.

    Wonder where that ranks in the pantheon of highest value subs or reviews for board members?

    I wonder what kind of run this will trigger on BBCE boxes?

    Classy reply by handyman. Some on these boards would be cursing a blue streak. Hoping that handyman's BGS submission comes back similarly...
