Yesterday me and a friend of mine visited a card shop in Lowell Michigan. I purchased a box of 2013 Topps Series 2,2013 Bowman, and a single pack of 2013 Topps Tribute and hit this

Thanks

    That "jersey" is a knit, not a flannel, meaning Mays never wore it as a player, maybe as a coach or for a "photo shoot". As far as value, no idea what a Mays 1/1 collector may be willing to pay, but you can always start high and work your way down as with a 1 of 1 you don't have to worry about another being pulled and killing your market. Nice 1 pack pull! image

    According to Wikipedia "Sixteen teams debuted double-knits to open 1972; the Red Sox adopted them after the All-Star Game, and the Giants debuted them at home only at mid-season as well. The final flannel holdouts, the Expos, Royals and Yankees, converted to open 1973."

    He was traded to the Mets in May 1972, so it might be a Mets jersey even though he is pictured on the card as a Giant. Wouldn't be the first time they got the wrong patch on a card, I have seen game used jersey "patches" of Harmon Killebrew with green fabric on them and there's no green on Senators, Twins or Royals uniforms, is there?.

    Either way SUPER CARD!!

    sorry but that so called 'card'.... is still a brand new modern, glossy, intentionally overhyped limited edition, non-contemporary, non-issued FREE with a product or service of some kind, pseudo 'baseball card'.... which has attached to it a fraction of a (now destroyed forever) historical baseball artifact, included specifically/solely for the 'card' companies monetary gain...

    it could show a picture of Candy Cummings... it still wouldnt catch the interest of 99.7% of the truly vintage baseball card collectors....

    vintage = old ie older than your grandpa
    w/ a high % of them used abused and destroyed over time... thus naturally becoming unintentionally scarcer or rare (unlike a 1/1 or 1/of anything)

    Ill redefine even further. If I open a pack of cards and get something where my first thought is not "wow that's a cool card", but rather "damn I bet that's worth some money", its time to exit the hobby. If I wanna play poker, ill hit up the yellow chip games at Commerce. If I wanna gamble, ill hit the craps tables in Vegas.

    Cool card but ONLY because of the 1/1. I think this thread belongs on the BST forums since your asking for offers. Good luck.
