Don't hate me I was debating in sending this to Mr. Night Owl cause of the Cey as well my other friend Greg cause of the Foster.
For my Milestone birthday last week Tuesday I went to a shop for a nice shopping spree where I picked this card up for a nice price of $15.00 that you see up on top. Now this leads me to the question I have before you in the title of this post. Do I do it or not to do it that's tis the question I pondered there's currently only 19 Quad Bats from the 2001 Upper Deck Decade 1970's set. I already did the single bat pieces set & yes I know there's short prints in the Quad pieces as well. So I am the only person as a set builder or collector that had this dilemma when it comes to making a decision like this.
Why do I do this cause I collect for fun not for profit like most.
Another choice I had to make cause I received a pack for my birthday (The person who got me the pack didn't know I didn't have any so not at fault.) then at the same shop where I picked up the Quad bat card I picked up I joked reaching a milestone on my birthday the guys at the shop offered me some free cards mainly base from this years Heritage as a nice gift. I had another decision again & after getting a blaster as well 4 Retail Fat Packs at the local Target over the weekend I figure what the Hell I'll do this years Heritage set I guess. Why do I put myself through this torture in making stuff when I have a lot of other things that aren't completed yet again? Am I the only one who feels this when deciding on things? After all I still have yet to finish what Greg & I started working on last years Heritage. (The High Numbers are a pain to find blasters. I was lucky to pull this Jackson Holiday Game Used from 1 out 3 Blasters I was able to find at Meijer)
Not a bad pull in the few High Number blasters I was able to find.
I am still looking for inserts for them as well regular cards too. I hope I can find some soon or attend a show where someone cracked & opened a lot of product & is willing to complete my needs. I was also thinking of doing the Game Used single pieces of these as well but after seeing that there were 100 of them in the Low Numbers & 60 in the High Numbers I said no. Knowing that more & more people are buying the magnetic holders, I prefer the Pro-Mold PC18II 1" Screwdowns for my Game Used collection (If anyone can't find anything from my lists I wouldn't complain in getting 2 boxes or a case of these cause I can't find any shops of late that sell them & I prefer them over the Stinking Magnets).
Well those are the problems I faced this last week when I am just not sure what to do so I am leaving it to my readers to tell me if I am doing the right thing in making the Heritage set & should I do the Quad bats or not until then I am reminded of Rogers Hornsby when it came talking about autographs for kids "Any Ballplayer who doesn't sign autographs for little kids ain't an American, He's a Communist."
A. That quad bat card is sweet! I'm sure Night Owl would be very happy to add that cool card to his collection.
ReplyDeleteB. There was a time when I was trying to build the 2001 UD Decades single bat relic set, but I heard about the short prints and shut it down.
Cut it in half, give half to Night Owl and half to the other Greg.
