A few mths back I put up a thread moaning about how I'd innocently let my best KG auto #15/25 fade in the low sun during winter.. Here it is....

Anyway I decided to sell it - as as u can see it is stuffed!! I was gonna stick it on ebay expecting about $50-60 at best (to give u some indication of it's downfall I bought for $150!) - Anyway just as I'm about to stick it on the bay when a guy from the philippines buys it for $90!! I'm stoked - then another guy from the Philippines sees my thread on the faded card on HK and puts up an offer (his id is ExquisiteCollector).

To cut a long story short I ended up getting these cards from him for some $$ and a KG #13/25 04-05 Extra Exquisite I had.

He sent me these freebies.....

And then to really give me a permanent grin....

KG Extra Exquisite #21/25 - my 26th KG Jersey numbered card and 2nd #21/ exquisite which are like hens teeth to find...


So in the end, the 1/25 crystal and the #21/25 exquisite cost me $120 ($90 of which was from the faded auto! - so basically $30) and the #13/25 exquisite I had!! Confusing I know but all u need to do is look at the cards and know I am one happy kiwi!!!!=P~

and that Exquisitecollector is a complete legend - he basically offered the deal b/c he knew the #21/25 would mean more to me than him.....amazing!!!

By the way the guy sold my old faded KG auto for $62 on ebay - ouch!
 
Thats awesome mate, some people in this hobby are fantastic and not just out to gouge everyone for everything they can get. Well done on the great pick ups, and on the new AUTO!! Take good care of that one - theres only 23 left :)
 
Hill33 u are so right - in fact to add to it - I sent my cash and card to him first and the card disappeared for a month - somewhere btwn NZ and the Phillipines then outa the blue it shows up - Because it'd taken so long for my card to arrive - he TNT couriered his cards to me - woulda cost a packet - it showed up in 3 days!!
 
And yes I'll be putting this auto in a cave -
Bas - definitely one of the favourites - for a midrange collector like me to hook an Exquisite #21 is very fortunate!!
 
great story behind how got those cards, sweet exquisite jersey card. I know you love your KG cards to be # 21 so another great additions.
 
Very nice pickups, you did well in the end mate. Just proves to put a card out there and people will eventually pick them up.
