CARD SHOW PICKUP - Temporary Holder

What a great card show today. I went down to secure a card for a fellow hobbyist and ended up spending a chunk of change on dollar jersey cards.

That's right....jersey cards for a buck. It wasn't too long ago that I mentioned how much I liked them. And boy did I find a bundle of them. My only regret is that I wasn't there right at 10:00 when it started. I slept in and didn't make it until 11:30. I can only imagine how much cash I would have spent if I had that much more selection to go through.

Anyways, back to that card I secured.

I'm a player collector and appreciate other player collectors. I do my best to keep a lookout for cards that might fit nicely into a player collection.

I know of a Sean Burke collector and have always enjoyed and appreciated his 'show & tell' posts and his passion for his player collection. So, when I happened to come across this card...


2009/10 In The Game
Between The Pipes Pad Save
Sean Burke #PS-05 Gold 1/1



...I was immediately interested.

I e-mailed him and let him know I found it and asked what his price range would be. He let me know and today I finalized the deal.

It will be on its way to him as soon as he reimburses me the money.

I just couldn't pass up a chance to show off a 1/1 card in my collection....only if it's temporary.

  3. Thanks guys. I am a firm believer that if you do good things....good things happen.

    I have been very fortunate to have some kind gestures follow my way and I try to do the same.

    It's so much more fun that way too.

    The $1 jersey cards will be a heavy feature in my 'One Sheet, One Set' segments to come soon.
