... and the 3rd and final Kershaw autograph pick up to offset the 2 in the most recent BGS batch that I was not happy with as the grades they earned were not up to my standards. Being able to swap out 2 autographs for 3 (with a little help from some other card sales) is a big plus in my book and with one already being in gem mint form it's hard to ask for anything more.
That aforementioned gem mint was acquired from a seller on eBay that I have done a lot of business with in the past and a couple days after I picked up that one he listed this one as well. The price was a little high for me as I wasn't going to use out of pocket funds so I contacted him to see if he would lower his selling price which he had no problem with and promptly changed his BIN price 25% of his original asking price. I completed the transaction and had the card a week later. I hoped it would be a good candidate for a gold banner from BGS and other than the small fraying on a back corner I can see no other issues. Plus that issue can only be seen with a loop as the naked eye can't really spot it. Hoping I can reach my goal of 50 Kershaw autographs by the end of the 2016 calendar year and this one makes is one step closer to reality.

Very nice! I'm a big fan of these. So when you get to 50 are you moving on to a new player??
ReplyDeleteMove on? Ha Ha... Like you can stop. No, I want to be at 50 by the end of the year and I have about 5 more in my que as we speak. I want to hit 100 at some point to say I got there but lets be honest, I dont think you or I will ever stop collecting Kershaw autographs.
DeleteI know, I know! Haha BTW, have you seen the Bowman Chrome wrapper redemption cards? I want the red refractor Seager, but seller has it listed at $149...it’s a really nice looking card, but I’m not sure how the values work on those. I may just pick up a base Chrome of Kershaw and Seager.
DeleteIve stayed away from those. I have too much on my plate as I am trying to snag my 9 cards of Kershaw, Seager and Trout from this years Ginter and now that TC is out I have a handful to pick up there. If you do try to get the red I wish you luck. Nice piece to have for your Seager collection.
DeleteIm still hoping the super from 2013 BC shows up someday.
haha
