As I do this post I will say that if any of my readers are doing this my hat is off to you. I am sure some of you readers watch breakers break high end products & well recently I found myself watching one of these breaks it involves our man here Mark Aguirre the former 3x All-Star Forward of the Dallas Mavericks,Detroit Pistons & Los Angeles Clippers & the other 131 cards of the famous `86/`87 Fleer Basketball set. Somehow some 3rd party produced a product of autographs with Game Used Slabs of the set. It's too much for me to even think about getting a box or case of this product.
I am referring to how long it might have been for the 3rd party to locate autographs as well on the card of these 131 subjects as well find game used swatches of them as well. So tell me readers would this set be worth doing if you had the deep pockets to pay for it or would you stop once you found the Jordan card. As for me I wouldn't do it cause knowing my luck I opened everything I could get & end up without pulling the Jordan & no one would trade it afterall it's Jordan or if I pulled the Jordan just my luck it would have something wrong with it.
Now is there any of my readers trying to make an Autograph set that has more then 100 cards in the set. I ask this cause I was lucky enough to get this set here by trading 3 I repeat 3 Game Used cards of any Chicago Cubs players I could find. This set is from the 2006 Philadelphia Athletics Historical Society the one thing is I got the DiMaggio Autograph no not Joe but little brother Dom which is the heart of the set if you look on Ebay there's none listed at the moment but the 2009 version is selling for $3k & the 2006 set rarely appears if it does it usually more but it minus the DiMaggio signature. I was at the right time when I saw someone offering this set for trade cause they didn't know much about these old dudes cards. After doing my research I didn't hesitate I pulled the trigger & like I mentioned before it was only 3 Chicago Cubs Game Used cards for it.
a. One of my prized possessions is owning an incomplete 1986-87 Fleer basketball set. I'm only missing the Jordan... of course.
ReplyDeleteb. That autograph set is cool... especially since it only cost you 3 memorabilia cards.
Those are really nice looking autograph cards.
ReplyDeleteI would try to go after the set as long as there were 500-1,000 of the set produced. If there is only 1-10 of the cards produced (which I would believe to be true since it would be very difficult to obtain the autographs and jerseys multiple times), then the chance at needing a card that someone won’t trade you or that you just have bad luck finding in a pack would just be too high and you won’t be able to complete it.
ReplyDeleteI tried to get the complete 1992 Topps set autographed, and I believe I was at 55 or 60% when I sold it, and that was hard enough without being an iconic set with many cards valued at hundreds of dollars without the autograph. There can’t be any way there are more than 5 or 10 of this set made.
