They don't come much better than this sports fans.
The whole story went something like this - DACW put up some singles on their site. It was posted on another site, then every man and his dog went to the site to buy them. Only problem was, DACW site stuffed up, so when somebody purchased them, they weren't removed from the site, and everybody who placed an order got a confirmation email saying they had purchased the cards.
As the price of these was WAAAAAY under what they go for on Ebay, a few people had the intention of buying them, then flipping them on Ebay for a decent profit. One or two even PM'd me offering them to me. But there was so much confusion, as so many people had received confirmation emails, but noone really know who had won it.
Then everyone started getting refunds, and I didn't. I emailed DACW, and they said the order had been sent. So after a week or so, they finally arrived.
these are nice man. especially both are incredible, i would love to have them, even i do not collect hill. both has been big steals, there also has been some steals on kobe, thats bad that i have seen these too late :-(.
did yinka dare (also called i keel you mayn) knows that u have that hill patch /25 ? - he would die for that one. i think he said that it would be ok if it is in a hill collection (i think it was yours), but it would not be nice if that guy from japan would have bought it..he would then have 3 of these.
it is always nice if a collector can get a rare card for his collection for a amazing price, then someone that is only buying that to flip it. thats not cool
but its good, that it is actually in a collection where it fits perfectly now.
Graham,
glad you ended up getting these cards mate!
I was following all of the BS that transpired out of the DACW sale and this is definately the right result! Glad you got them. It was also good to see a lot of people pushing for you to get these cards, rather than someone trying to flip them for a huge profit!
Graham - nothing like a great collector improving his collection with two amazing cards - absolutley sweet!!! I'm sure u have a permanent grin at the moment.....
Some people are in this hobby or business as they call it to make a good buck and what do you do? Buy both cards and put them in your PC for others to never see them again or exploit the hobby for their own profit.
WOW! As a big collector from that era they are truly amazing! One of the best maildays I've seen in a long time. THose UD Super Patches are soooo hard to find these das, I wish I had one! And the old Ultra masterpieces are all but extinct! Very impressive!
