A $100 Bonds for free? WTF?! Give it to me!!!

LOL...jk...

i still think it may be the sweetest card I have ever seen.

Hey man... nice card, no doubt about it

BUT:

Many collectors do not consider these Diamond Kings Autos true 1/1's. Donruss guarantees one auto'd 1/1 Crowning Moment per 16 box case. As the result there are many many 1/1's of the same player, just with a different picture on the front. There are 88 Mike Mussina 1/1 autos in the set! There have already been over 15 so called 1/1 Roger Clemens autos posted on ebay and this stuff just came out. So basically Doruss tried to beef up their sales by guaranteeing a 1/1 auto per mini case, but really most players have over 50 "1/1" autos!
This just kills any chance of collecting a certain player.

But oh well, nice card!

WAY TO RAIN ON SOMEONE'S PARADE AHENDI!

JK, sucks that its not a true 1/1, I think you gave up too much for it.

Mikefromchester · February 20, 2004 6:17AM

Thanks guys,
The sun is still shinning on my parade, thanks for the information, but I had heard all that before I traded and It's not a concern of mine. I'm not really planning on selling it. If I was I would list it now and see what it would bring, I have no idea what it would go for. I traded for this card cause I like first numbered cards. I don't trade and worry if I'm getting the short end of the trade BV, I trade to get what I want. When I see something I like and want, I'll see what they collect and throw out the best offer I can and if they want more, I'll pass. I'm more then pleased with this deal and I'm sure my trading partner is pleased. If you think I traded to much for Vlad, I'm sure you'll say I over traded for this and I would have to agree with you on it, but I wanted a Mantle and I got it.

Ed, Thanks!!

MXracer,
Palmer/Carlton dual auto/jersey
willie mays auto/100
Duke Snider auto100

I'll consider trading these, but the others I'm holding unless something special comes up.
I'm mainly looking for cards with about the same BV, not into game used stuff unless it's autoed.
Get me a list or a site to look at and I'll let you know if I can use something on them.

Thanks, Mike
