Seager Smooth- 2016 Topps Chrome

I was trying to resist spending more money on cards, but this was a deal I just couldn't pass up.  While I'm not a big fan of the 2016 Topps design, I really wanted a chrome Seager rookie auto.  The blue chrome would have been ideal, but they are selling for more than I want to spend, so the chrome base auto was just fine with me.  The scratches on the surface are from the case it came in, and this is likely an ideal gold banner candidate, so I may just have to raw grade it when BGS is in town.  Enjoy!:     photo IMG_20160811_185505_zpsa1vfbc6k.jpg

  2. ALSO, there is hope yet for Kershaw autographs. Topps just sent out a redemption report and the 2015 A/G of Kershaws are finally in. Never thought they would get made. I have seen very few redemptions on eBay and glad I snagged one. Did you get one as well?

    Maybe with this one done the black Stadium Club wont be far behind.

    1. Thanks!...how funny I checked for redemption updates this morning, but they hadn't listed anything at that point. I just checked and yes, I have a 2015 red auto mini! I will finally be able to check one off of my long line of pending redemptions...I'm glad you're staying hopeful and positive about the black Stadium Club. I still have my doubts though. I REALLY hope I'm wrong though.

    2. Nice...
      Hopefully I/we get the cards by the 9th of next month so I can send it to BGS. I have a feeling there are just not that many 2015 AG autos of Kid K

    3. I think you're right. I remember looking for the base version on ebay, and you may have been the one that won the auction for it. lol I was lucky to snag the red auto when I did. Now let's hope it doesn;t take Topps 6 months to ship these out; something that they are notorious for.

    4. Shush you mouth. lol. Every time I have seen an update for a card being redeemed it has made it into my hands within a few weeks. Dont jinx it. ha ha. The one I won was on a BIN that he kept lowering till it hit a price I was very happy with. Congrats on yours again

    1. Ahhh, I'm so bummed you aren't collecting Kershaw anymore, but I'm glad you're still collecting Glavine. I definitely understand your decision though, because the prices for him are pretty ridiculous. I am interested in the Kershaw/Ethier dual auto from marquee if that's actually for sale. Let me know what you're looking to get for it.
