(please) Help purchasing card from Spain. 96-97 ultra gold medallion

gunnerhodgson · 01-18-2024, 07:01 PM

Hey team, been looking for this card for quite a while, and it is the only copy that I've seen. Site looks legit, but seller (in Spain) lists as no international shipping. I haven't been able to find any drop-shipping type sites that will do this either. Reaching out on here, maybe someone knows someone in Spain or has a brilliant thought for a workaround. Happy to pay (likely too much) for shipping. I did try the "ask the seller" link to no success/response.

I'm in the US (Alaska to be more precise).

Hit me up if you have a bright idea or solution.

Thanks in advance.

Look up mail forwarding services or proxy mailboxes. That might help you get going.

I feel like I may have used Correos in the past before for some CCG stuff I got from Spain but it's been over a decade now and it took like 2 or 3 months cause the package hit the US and USPS bounced it all the way back to Spain accidentally lol.

There's literally 10 copies of this card on SportLots right now ranging from $0.20 - $0.27, some with $1 shipping

Oh man, I wish that were true. 1996 ultra basketball gold medallion. No G-53 cedric ceballos anywhere (ebay, comc, sportlots, beckett, mercari, google). If you do have a link to one, please send it my way. Only a couple folks with this card on TCDB too.

You need to search for lots, this card is not very uncommon, so there are many lots listed, try "1996 ultra gold medallion lot" on ebay, there are plenty

Very tough to pull from Series 1. Odds 1:12 packs x 150 cards, so 1:1800 packs. Also, often overlooked due to similarities of base, except the card number on the back begins with "G-"

Can confirm that these are way tougher to find in the wild than you’d think.

It took me longer to find the series 1 non-subset Penny gold than both of his series 1 Platinums.
