It has taken me some time, but I finally made it to another card store that has been in my "area" for a while but I have only known about for a month or so. My wife found it in her travels and finally I had a moment and some birthday cash to go and check it out. Last year I had some great luck on my birthday when I pulled this beauty, maybe I could get lucky twice? Well when I got into the store I was a little surprised, he had lots of new boxes and practically no singles. The good news is, I was itching for a box or two so I guess I came to the right place, so I put aside my want list and looked around.
After talking to the owner about cards for 15 or 20 minutes, he started to let me know some "deals" which meant he was taking 10-15 bucks off each box for me! I then inquired about two lone boxes of 11/12 Certified I saw on the shelf and he said I could have them for a C note each (taxes in). The problem was, that was also the price Between the Pipes was selling for too. I had to make a decision, two of one, two of the other or one of each.
I asked him for a coin, he provided a Remembrance day quarter with a poppy on it, I flipped it and the answer was two boxes of Certified. I brought the boxes home and busted the first four packs.
ALL had hits in them and the fourth pack yielded this monster!
This seam is bulging out of the card, much like ITG's hits tend to!
Either way, this box so far is pretty solid! I will share this box and the other one when I am done busting, but I just had to share!
congrats bud, great card.
ReplyDeleteThats a great pull! I'd hold on to it until he tears it up again next year and then maybe sell it for a decent enough price to get a couple boxes worth of cards from it...
ReplyDeleteBut hey! it's your card so do what YOU want to do!

ReplyDeleteAmazing pull, congrats! I wish I had some of that kind of luck!
ReplyDeleteW-O-W! Congrats on a great card. If you decide to sell it I doubt you'll have a problem recouping the cost of your box.
ReplyDeleteThanks guys! I still can't believe I finally got myself a rare star player.
