I am not a modern card expert. Pedroia is my son's favorite player. The guy was asking $300. I offer $150 not expecting him to take it but he did. I will get it slabbed and give it to my son for Christmas. Was $150 a good price? It is a 1/1.

    IMO it's priceless since you are giving it to your son.

    Yeah I think you did good.


    (regardless of what it's true (whatever that is) market value is.

    Yeah...like the Mastercard commercial:

    1 of 1 patch card, $150

    Giving it as a present to someone you love, priceless.

    Nice - card. Agree with the others. I have the W from JD Drew from the same set. I think $150-200 was the going rate for these at one point.

    Very cool card.

    The All-Star booklet cards that unfold and have the complete all-star patch I think are the coolest baseball cards.

    I can guess your son's first words when you give it to him:

    I have disdain for those game used patches, but having the whole letter is really cool - first time I've seen that.

    i agree it's a wonderful present, whatever is the market value.

    Looks like he might be a power hitter. I hope one day he's on a Topps MLB card. image

    He had a good season. In 42 AB's, he was 15 for 30 with 12 walks. He is going to Williamsport next month for a week for baseball camp.
