Better Late than Never...

My chance to pick up one of these for 10 bucks is loooong gone, but hey, at least I have one now. The key to this Kershaw rookie is to wait for an auction to pop up on ebay, and there are usually quite a few. The BIN's are way overpriced, so after a few months of trying to win this card, I finally won it at my price. The card looked like it was in pristine condition, but I quickly spotted two tiny imperfections on the surface. I'm thinking a 9.5 is not totally out of the question, but I also don't feel too confident in it. I'm not sure why I didn't pick up one of these sooner, because the card is really nice. I guess my autograph quest kind of blinded me. Oh well, now I finally have one!

  3. I was lucky enough to land this before most people thought Kershaw was going to be Kershaw. Fortunately, I always knew. :)

    1. Good thing you picked it up when you did! Hopeing Kershaw can be his old dominant self again on Wed. Dodgers really need the win in SF! Losing in SF is getting old!
