It is ridiculously low... probably because there are 5000 of them... possibly. I can't believe his penmanship at almost 4500 sigs was stll so clean. It might have taken a few days to do them all, though, and this might be the first sig on day 15. lol
But ya... it books for $20. A perfect example of your motto " you buy the auto, not the card"

Ridiculous. I know he did not play one of the glamour postions but he is not just a HOFer but an All Time Great. As a matter of fact, he is considered to be the greatest offensive lineman ever replacing John Hannah, Anthony Muoz and Forrest Gregg who previously held that mythical title.

$20 for that guy's auto (on a rookie year card no less) is an absolute steal. There still are great buys out there even at full book if you look for them, Buy the auto, not the card.

Think I paid $14 for it. I love the BIN or best offer cards listed. I have so many saved categories on ebay it's unreal... from Cowboys ending soon to Tri Speaker. I've got like 5 diffrrent Cowboys Gold listings saved. There are sooo many cards, you're right, you just have to be patient and look. Eventually a card will come along you can't pass up

Ben Hogan "rookie" card. Thinking about picking up a few other vintage golf cards now.

Haven't been overly active the last couple months, HS baseball season has been keeping me busy. As well as planning for our oldest's departure for college in a couple months - man does time go by fast!!!!

Trying to organize some stuff (ongoing battle) - figured could find the time to pop in and see what was going on in the thread!
Not a great one - but from 2025 Holiday - case hit snow variation SSP - code 027.

Did you ever see (or own) the X rated card from the 1977 Star Wars set? I don't know the robot's name that is involved but it is from the green bordered series.

 

[newguy338]

No, was unaware! But I googled and now I can't unsee it. D-3P0 they call him.

Does this have a huge crease in it or something? Why the 1.5?

no creases. surface is pristine. there is a dime-sized scratch / paper loss on the back. the kicker is the back is just a blank part of background for a puzzle picture if you put a bunch of cards together

 

[TC84]

Ugh... the back of cards has got me on a couple occasions. That's a stinker. At least the front is nice!

 

[newguy338]

I knew what I was buying. Got a good price & I just choose to only look at the front haha

LMAO!!!!! Glad I could increase your knowledge of unmentionable things!

I so much want to post a video short of Beavis describing this card but that would be pushing the envolope a bit too far,

Ah c'mon... not like YOU'RE saying it... lol

I was sitting here trying to decide if I should post it but thought the better of it. I was laughing so hard tears were streaming down my face. But I thought if I posted it Greta would fly off the handle and all Hell would break loose. .But it would have been fun and I'm still LMAO thinking about it!!

And yes, I am not only juvinile and immature but easily entertained.

Truly your words are, indeed. I myself am a bit more high brow. It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia, Seinfeld, and The Simpsons are probably my top 3 shows that make me laugh out loud

My top three are Beavis and Butt-head, Sanford and Son and The Three Stooges. And I find most of my humor from drama movies and shows vs, comedies if that makes sense.

For sure. Well timed humor is better than slapstick any time....
