Pick up of a LIFETIME! My #1 Most Want..... CAPTURED!

SportsItUpCards · 03-05-2015, 08:08 PM

This card was the top card on my entire want list, and by miracle I now own it!

My PC player 1/1 Laubdry Tag!!!

it does not get any better. I paid 6 times more than I should have paid.... But truth is, I would have paid a lot more than that. My number one card I was looking for. The picture does zero justice to this card, it is DIRTY!!! The sweat, blood, and tears that this piece has seen is incredible. Centerpiece to my collection. I'm just glad someone actually pulled it and made it available. I missed it on eBay, but was able to make a deal for it. Most expensive card I've ever purchased, and happily so.

Check out those two laker blue threads at the top right side of the tag!

Goes well with this letter...... In which came from the same jersey!

Thank you for looking.

Giovanni

goehring9 · 03-05-2015, 08:12 PM

Congrats! What a fabulous centerpiece to your collection. Elgin never gets enough love.

realreodeal · 03-05-2015, 08:12 PM

So if you paid 6 times what you think it's worth then you must have paid $6,000,000 for it. Nice card but you overpaid.

Great card Gio

Thanks, fellas, really appreciate the kind words. I hope things don't get boring from here.... It's one thing to be on the hunt, and then land it. I hope I keep busy with the hobby. Happy to land it obviously.

Great card bro!!!

If you love something, set it free--you could always do that later if you wanted to experience the thrill of landing it again

m2cool2go · 03-05-2015, 09:18 PM

I absolutely hear what you're saying... But sometimes when it's a 1/1 it's very hard. Someone might buy it and burry it in one of their boxes to never see the light of day. So I just knew u had to jump.

700 seems like a great price for this

That was the eBay price... I missed that listing. No one messaged me about it

I bought it for a lot more here on BO.
