There..
It..
IS!!!!
Over 2 years ago I started out on a project at the time I didn't know I started. I acquired my first Corey Seager card from the 2013 Bowman Chrome set and with it I had card number 1 of 15 in the rainbow set. There is actually 16 for a "true" the rainbow but that other one is a 1 of 1 superfractor that I will never see as I know it was sold online to a Dodger fan. Taking that one out of the equation though this Orange parallel's addition to my collection completes the rainbow.
I have a few card projects going on and to be quite honest I do not nor didn't expect to finish them as they are too limited and you have to come across a project need at the right time to pick it up. Well this is the first one I have taken to completion and considering the print run on a few of these cards I can not believe this is the one I finished first. This Orange one alone has a print run of just 25. The last time I saw a similar copy it sold before I even had a chance to bid on it. With Corey's assent to stardom his cards are increasingly becoming harder to track down so when this came up on a BIN auction I promptly put stuff up for sale to cover the cost.
The card was on a BIN with a best offer option and I sent in my offer but noticed that there were 3 other watchers. This might have been my last good chance at this card and I didn't want it to slip through my hands. I literally emailed the seller at least 5x during the day to get his attention and to work out a deal. Thankfully when he finally did get back to me the card was still available and soon after we completed the deal and a week later the card arrived and I am beyond happy.
Obviously I want/need all the cards of the rainbow to be encased in BGS holders and this card is no different. This card looks to be a sure lock for a gold banner and will look great to my other 14 cards in the rainbow. I finally finished a project and probably the hardest one I was/am doing. Woo Hoo. Once this card comes back from BGS I will do a special post on all of the cards together.

Nicely centered and looks like a 9.5 all the way, but then again you just never know with BGS. I'm still mad at myself for sleeping on the red and canary when they were actually affordable :-( Any idea where the superfractor is? I've seen the mini out there, but that's it.
ReplyDeleteSure looks like a gem but like u say, u never know but im confident. That canary sat on ebay for months and somewhat surprised I talked him down from his price. To this that has been the only one Ive seen. Same as the red but thankfully that one was already a bgs 9.5. The super sold on ebay for 981. Today im sure it would clear 1500. Guess ill never own it. Haha

DeleteI personally feel that it's insane for people to spend that much on the superfractors. The canary is almost like a superfractor IMO. Aren't they retail exclusives? If that's the case, the odds of getting one makes it even more rare than the red.
DeleteNo kidding.
DeleteI dont know about the 2013 version but I know sometimes yellow is retail and sometimes they are not. With a print run of 10 Lord knows when you or I ever see one again. I almost want to list it on eBay with a $1000 reserve to see what it would sell for. But what is someone hits that reserve? Haha
