And the final Seager card off of my 2016 Gypsy Queen checklist which was acquired from a trusted seller on a BIN auction. As usual he had a best offer option and thankfully once again he took my offer after we discussed what we both thought it was worth and we came to a happy medium.
As with the other Seager cards I picked up I acquired this one without an assigned book value to go by so the seller and I went with past eBay sales and as a long time buyer I was able to score it at an amount that was lower than the other sales on eBay.
Considering I like to grade all my low serialized cards I held out hope this would come to me in great condition and other than 1 corner with a slight fraying issue it looks to be in great condition. Now hopefully that 1 issue can earn a 9 and everything else props it up.

Maybe it's just me, but I feel like Topps finally gave us a good release with this years Gypsy Queen. All around great product with a lot of short prints and variations. Seager is tearing it up right now (well maybe not last night)...
ReplyDeleteI am not the biggest GQ fan but this year's was a step up. I believe at the end of the year as long as east coast bias...cough, Cardinals, cough... doesnt come into play he will win ROY. Most years I would say Arrieta would probably win CY again but CK is making sure that bias doesnt come into play.
DeleteI know Seager has some competition this year, but I'm hoping he improves even more in the second half an runs away with the award. Story is a K machine, but as we saw last night, the boy can hit bombs. And yes, can't forget about those dirty birds! This years CY race is going to be a tight one, and I bet you anything it goes down to the wire. I really hope Kershaw continues to dominate all year long. I respect Arrieta, but he's no CK!
DeleteI agree Story is good but compare him and Seager and other than home runs (16-14) Corey has him on every category. AVG, OBP, RBI, etc. Its the dirty birds I am most worried about has Coors field still has a stigma. The CY race will be close BUT if CK stays on this pace and historically beats K to W AND WHIP AND ERA less than everyone since Bob Gibson he will win it and another MVP is not out of the question. I just hope his season doesnt go to waste and we dont make the playoffs.
