Man does this ring true. If that was like $500-600 I would have jumped all over it. If it came out before I decided to start 3 more artist sets, I would have jumped all over it. Timing is a cruel mistress.

PS: Gonna need an extra Koufax I think for the F You set. I can't remember if I got one or two.

Here's hoping another stimulus passes........

Still avoiding autos but I grabbed the Ermsy companion. Don't want to fall too far down the companion rabbithole but I regret passing on his first one.

I think acceptance will be key here. If you have an Ermsy set, you're going to need each companion. I think even after only two, it's evident the set will look incomplete without them.

Holding out for ermsy autos i like not trying to grind a 3% return on a $200 item

Hahaha. I'm really trying hard to accept and convince myself that I'm not doing an auto set. As neat as it would be, it serves no purpose ultimately for my long term enjoyment versus a regular set if I'm being honest (plus that money could be easily put to a commission instead). I will likely do my favorite cards as autos (of the ones in hand, Williams and Gibson have been my two favorite). I may regret not doubling up on companion cards for those versions, but we'll see.

Picked up a companion card. Not quite sold on the Autos

I'm having a tough time deciding if I want to grab an Ermsy Gibson Companion. Have a Ted on the way, but I'm not necessarily going for an Ermsy run (yet) and as much as I love the art work I'm just exhausted with all this spending. I'm thinking Mic Trouts are probably more un demand long term anyway, don't know if every Ermsy Companion will retain it's over $100 MSRP. Decisions, decisions...

I was just thinking how Koufax Beck should probably be on the list last night as well.

Struggling with the same thing...I LOVE the Ermsy Gibson (probably in my top 3 cards at this point) and have had the companion in my cart for the last hour. Just don't think I'm going to pull the trigger. Bank account could use a break and feel I may be able to pick one up close to MSRP in the future if I change my mind

I've also been paralyzed since 2:00. I love what he did with the companion card, but it's just sorta missing something with Gibson's name. It's a baseball card, yet not a baseball card. And, his Gibson is great, but not my favorite Ermsy, and I don't want to drop $2K on all the companions.

But... my Ermsy Gibson does need a body...

doubledribble · 07-21-2020, 02:05 PM

Anyone have an extra ermsy williams companion?

Agreed...the idea of dropping another $2k+ for a companion set is a hard pill to swallow, and I'm not sure how much value they'll hold long-term, but it also feels like if any do Ermsy's should. Who knows.

2K is extremely steep. I'm out on all the extras personally. Hope you guys make a mint, just not in my card budget.
