A dream come true - Carrie

[buyingstuffformikelee]

Hiya Guys and Gals,

Well, I don't do this often, but it really has.

I still recall when Benchwarmer announced that they would release their highest end product ever (For me, I likened it to Exquisite). When i laid hands on the checklist, i scanned over for Carrie items and saw a card on the list and i said to myself "Yeah right, I wish".
Well, the cards sold for a premium indeed, and I started picking up odd cards from the series and the quality of them was absolutley awesome. Thats saying something, I am all for quality in additions and I must say they did a fab fab job in design and feel.
Cards where signed correctly and in the right colours etc etc

Then it came up and I was able to be in a position to win it for the collection, now i do feel my PC has the magical milestone in it.

Enjoy my happiness on this:





Ultimate Benchwarmer - Red Auto 1 of 1!!!!!

I sense a new signature block in the near future! Glad you landed your white whale..... I dabble in the odd Benchwarmer card or two, just interested to know what a 1/1 is worth in their new 'exquisite' product...

Ha ha ha now that you mention it, I might have to work on that tonight ha ha ha
I'm so rusty at this, I gotta get into the swing of things again as posting threads, scanning, taking pics has taken me waaayyy too long this afternoon.

What's a 1/1 worth in Ultimate Benchwarmer?

Gosh, like anything, there are a few factors, and most come down to whom the "model" is to be honest.
I don't watch the market so to speak outside of Carrie, but only ever recall seeing 3-5 of these pop on e-bay in my time. They ranged from anywhere between $200US to $750.
It's really varied, but like basketball, star models sell way more than the lower end models (the ones that don't have many followers). But really, it's very varied.

If he keeps this up, who knows, maybe he'll get a meet-up with Carrie in person. That would be a nice mailday, right

Ha ha ha yeah, don't know why peopel don't spend more time looking at the back of cards? I mean, comeon, all the stats and bio's are on teh back of them and also, with panini, the numbering as well. Come on guys..... Ha ha ha

Ha ha ha I wish there was that sort of cards!!! Ha ha ha
Maybe if I don't have anything to do and I'm a millionaire or something, I might fly to the US if she is a a function/signing session to see her in the flesh so to speak. But right now, I gotta just be a collector of hers

If he keeps this up, who knows, maybe he'll get a meet-up with Carrie in person. That would be a nice mailday, right

Oh gosh, I would be stoked. I mean, how cool would it be to actually get to meet and greet the people we all collect.
I know I have collected shaq since 1992, and despite my best interests, I always missed seeing him.
I'll probably have to actually sort my cards on a site or one location in my potobucket before I even think about this happeneing.

Thanks bud, i'm beyond stoked mate. The "IT" card in the collection, I still can't beleive it as i stare at it next to my PC each day

A few of her "big" cards landed on e-bay at teh same time, so maybe someone offloading her cards? or, just co-incidence?

I know one guy/girl buys her stuff, andthen flips it back on e-bay right away.
