Unlike with Koufax most Dodgers from yesteryear I am only looking for 1 card in my collection to represent them (unless something really catches my eye) and Duke here is finally in the collection as I played cat and mouse with this card's auction.
When I first saw this card, which happened to be on a very reasonable priced BIN auction, I had my sight set on a different card's auction which was due to end in 5 days. Both had a similar book value but I wanted to wait the other one out to see if I could score a better deal than this one. Until the last 20 minutes it looked like I was going to land the other card but then it jumped $10 in price and with that I went back to this one and clicked the BIN button and added The Duke to my vintage collection.
Thank you for reading have a blessed day.

Nice pickup! I'm slacking on my vintage collection. Random question though; why do you prefer BVG over PSA for vintage?
ReplyDeleteI'm partial to PSA when it comes to vintage for some reason.
I prefer PSA for vintage as it holds more esteem BUT I like the cases of BVG/BGS so I stick with them. Unlike modern cards my vintage collection is not seen as potential money making additions so I just look for the cheapest of the lot.
DeleteFYI, I sold a few things as I had to join you in the Kershaw Museum club. Thanks for getting me inspired. Ha ha
Ok, that totally makes sense...I'm going to take a wild guess and say you got the 9.5 gold frame that was on ebay?! We shall see if I'm right ;-)
DeleteDamn right. I tried a best offer on one and he never responded and sold it to somone else so i picked up the other. Bgs 9.5 woo hoo
