My lord!

The peartree equivalent but I am sure to you it's much more exciting - sigs and costume??

You were on fire getting that one

Holy Crap holy crap holy crap.........I just opened a few packs of the Ultimate Collection that I have talked about in this thread and got the best card of my LIFE.....

Patrick Roy and Jose Theodore Dual NHL Patch card (I will post a scan tonight promise) but it looks exactly like this one only two different players and is 1/1.

I am not sure what it would sell for but I am going to guess $2000. 

Still breathless.

- Becks you are going blue... KEEP BREATHING!

Are these cards much bigger than non sports sized cards or do American players have very small patches ??

[beckham1]

I am being conservative I think by guessing $2,000.  It could go as high as $5,000 with the right bidders.

Whoa!!!!   That is so awesome!   Get someone to take a picture of you with the card before you sell it.  This memory needs to be framed!

Here is a scan of the 1/1 card

Sweet!  If you sell it on eBay, post a link so I can put it on my watch list.

THe next big hockey product comes out this week.  It is $600-$700 a box (presell) with 5 packs per box, 1 auto and 1 memorabilia card per pack and 1 base card per pack # to 45 or 1/1.  So a total of 2,000 boxes in the whole print run. 

From what I hear there is also supposed to be 1,000 cards that are only going to be 1/1's.  So they should fall about every other box.  I have my eye on one card....so hopefully it gets put on ebay by whoever gets it.  It will likely be pricey but be the top card in my collection if I can swing it. (well I guess behind my 15 lupin jackets)

He ehe

So how is the popularity of sports cards in the US - is it still madly high?

[beckham1]

Well I took the plunge on a card that is really rare.  Don't you hate it when you get that one person who is willing to shell out the dough that you are bidding against.  If it hadn't been for that one other bidder I might have had a real steal at $85.



Roz,
Sportscards are pretty big, much more so than nonsport, however new and exciting ideas tend to be a little in short supply.  About 5-6 years ago getting a jersey card was a big deal and they were very valuable.  Now you can pick up almost any normal run of the mill jersey card for $2-$15.  And only the best player demand $15 for a jersey card.  Unless it is a rare multicolor or something very unique its not worth much.  Even the auto's aren't as great. Now they are trying to put out very limited #'s of inserts.  Like the newest hockey product from upperdeck is pushing the new octograph.  The octograph is 8 autos 4 on the front 4 on the back of players who share a common thread.  Like 8 great goalies but they are very very limited in production.

Here are a few links to some auctions with pics of multi autos.

A newly acquired card set....these cards truly would fetch easily over $1000 seperately, likely more like $1500 especially with so many two color cards, I have chased many of the singles and been outbid, someone call the police this was a steal, without further ado

Unfortunately that will mean farewell to CATCF J. Depp, 

[ferdinand_the_yak]

If I had the cash I would buy it from you, but alas

[beckham1]

Yes JD has to go, but he wanted me to remind you all

"Dont touch that squirrels nuts"
