Sort of a vanity project, I guess, but still thought I'd share. After an N9 misfire and some back and forth with the good folks at PSA, I finally managed to worm my way into the pop report. I wasn't really expecting to pull a 10, I just wanted one of these slabbed for display, so that was a nice surprise. And it should remain a pop 1 since nobody else in their right mind would pay good money to get one of these graded. Should make for some funny double takes when I slide it in with my HOF Rookies in a wall display. Will post a scan when I get it back.

    That's cool, Michael. Someone is selling your card on Amazon right now, but it's only nrmt-mt. image

    I figured I had the last ones that would ever see the light of day, but I guess you really can buy anything on Amazon. Still, it's more like someone is offering it for sale--I can't imagine they are actually "selling" any.

    Your card on COMC.

    $2.75 for a raw, o/c copy? Man, I guess a Gem Mt 10 would at least be worth $30. Isn't that the way it usually works? And mine's a pop 1 to boot? $$$$$$$

    Call me a kid at heart, but I can hardly think of anything cooler than a card of oneself, PSA 10 and pop 1! Congrats on that!

    Congrats on doing well enough to get pictured on the card in the first place and the Pop 1!

    During the late 90s, I worked for a bank in downtown Akron and got to go to a lot of Akron Aeros games between 1997-2000. I imagine I might have seen you play in 1998.

    This is very cool.

    May as well crack the slab, sign it, and resub under red flip PSA/DNA!

    Congratulations - looking forward to seeing the card!

    Ha! I guess they could just use my signature on the submission form to authenticate the one on the card.

    1998 was the last year Erie was a NY-Penn League team as short-season A for the Pirates, so I never played in Akron, unfortunately. Erie moved up and joined the Eastern League the next year.

    And you went 4-0 on a team that was 26-50. CONGRATS. Post the card when it comes back.
    STAY HEALTHY!

    graygator, that is pretty awesome to have a POP 1 PSA 10. Make sure to post a picture when you have with your other rookies on the wall display. What a great conversation piece to have in your house. Thanks for sharing.

    very cool graygator and congrats!
    I have a couple of magazine that I somehow managed to get into from usahockey that I have framed and displayed. I think unique things like this are neat to have.
