Good question; have a feeling match worn Guernsey cards will be the the top ends with mirror number signatures still in but 9:9 clubs spanning to next year; similar format to certified 16/17 and dominance 19/20
There won't be mirror signatures again. The Optimum branding is almost definitely done and Select will revert to their usual release pattern of sets spanning two seasons - with the Hall Of Fame update, whenever that comes, as the only genuine chance of being an exception as a stand alone release like Legacy was in 2018.
Can I take a guess and say a breaker brought them? It just wouldn't make sense for a collector to pay those kind of prices, but a breaker can bundle it with a few cheaper boxes and be guaranteed to still make a profit.
Yep, i posted a single box on eBay, woke up the next day with 9 seperate offers. Maybe 4 were ballpark serious. Had a price in mind, hit the price. Sold. Got chatting with the buyer afterwards and he was interested in the rest so we came to terms.
Given the interest I’m sure I could have pushed the market more, but I had my figure in mind and being able to move everything to one buyer that has credibility.. quite happy.
