    JACKPOT!!

    I would recommend you hit up Jon (fight4olddc) and I'm sure you'll be able to work out a deal for that baby.

    Congrats!

    I was thinking of contacting him too as soon as I saw that. Already sent him a note through the registry site...fingers crossed there is an offer, and a nice one at that.

    Only 6 people in this forum will realize how significant this is. You'll have a much better response in the registry forum. Nice hit.

    Congrats! Did you review or crack and resub? (cracked i'm assuming)

    Congrats!

    Do you have a scan?

    sounds like a sticky situation. image
  • burke23burke23 Posts: 1,475 ✭✭✭
    No scan - just popped today, so should have soon - will put an image up when i get it.
    And it was crack vs a resub under the July special - popped in 6 business days, which was cool. Of course I had 2 cards I pulled from packs come back is trimmed, and one they previously graded 9 that i was hoping to get a 10 came back as Altered Stock, so that hurt. This more than made up for it though.

    What do you plan on doing with it?

    Do you happen to have a pic of the PSA 9?

    Good point. There is a thread dedicated to the HOF registry and it's probably the longest running thread on the forums.
  • burke23burke23 Posts: 1,475 ✭✭✭
    I didn't think to get a scan, but have the pic from when I won the auction - can post that later. As for what I am going to do with it - it was gone as soon as I saw the grade...sadly. Can't justify keeping it, especially with my limited collecting budget. I might as well just write 4SC a blank check to help me work on some graded sets.

    Put a note in the HOF registry thread as well - never know if any of them may have interest too.

    Are you going to sell it? What do you think you will get for it?
  • burke23burke23 Posts: 1,475 ✭✭✭
    Doh! A little wind from my sails - he's on the Future HOF list, not the HOF list - that hurts quite a bit, and will definitely decrease what I can get for it I would assume. Damn.
    No idea what it will fetch.

    Contratulations!

    I think if a few registry people compete - who knows? Way up in the hundreds? A grand?

    Very nice.

    Doesn't matter. There are only a few people paying crazy prices for cards like this and they're trying to complete both sets.

    Exactly. Jon is #1 on the HOF Rookie registry and the both Future HOF registries (Senior and Modern)

    If you look at his Future HOF registry (modern), there are only a handful of cards in existence that would be an improvement on his set. This card is now one of them. His football HOF registries are just mind blowing.


  • burke23burke23 Posts: 1,475 ✭✭✭
    Yeah - hoping the price will stay up a little given the HOF set competition, and Hayes inclusion on the Future list. Here's the pic of it as a 9 - not very big, so sorry about that.

    BTW Lee - sorry we didn't get a deal done on the Simms. Appreciate the offer though.

    I can post once the deal is done if there's interest.

    And the transaction is done! rogermnj is our big winner with a guess of $1,500 - thanks to Jon (fightforolddc) for the (in my eyes) generous offer.
