Richo's Mail Day #11

[Richo]

G'day guys
Hope you all got your fingers crossed for the Aussie Cricketers, they'll need some luck to win this Test Match!

Anyways on with the show

First of all a HUGE "Thankyou" goes to Liam (Howzat) for helping me get these two signed by Allan Border

I only sent these two off to AB a week before Christmas, got them back SUPER fast - Thanks AB

Secondly a "Good Job" to Al's Card Shop in Perth for a fast & smooth transaction on these two
2002 Topps ACB Gold - Jason Gillespie Signature Card


1998 Select - Ashley Mallett Heroes Signature & Redemption Cards 122/150


I now have Rod Marsh, Greg Chappell & Ashley Mallett in this set

All cards are for my PC but the Gillespie & Mallett are up for Trade / Sale for the right offer

Thanks for looking

 

[Mamboblue72]

All quality cards! Well done

 

[Richo]

Thanks mate!
I am pretty happy about all of them
The Mallett may be going to someone @ OCT for a different Heroes Auto but as long as we both get ones we don't already have it's all good

Lovin the old school...the border is sweet !!

Cheers mate!
Yeah when I decided to send a couple of cards in for him to sign I thought I would use one of him in his QLD gear as well as the Promo card in his Test gear as they would be different to the normal type of cards being sent in
The one of him in his QLD gear certainly is old school - Futera 1995

 

[howzat]

Well done Richo Glad to be of assistance!
So you got the steal on the Mallett Well done! I am sure I know who you will be trading that with when he gets back!
I am still waiting on my chappeli from als...

Sooooooo I now know whom beat me for the Mallett, pleased to see that it went to a friend and not a foe.

Congrats on the cards, I think Al's card shop has made a bit o money out of us. I got a couple of the elite sigs from him at a reasonable price.

Definitely better when it stays within the family
Good to see you back on the boards also

 

[Richo]

Thanks for the comments guys!

How funny is that!?! All three of us were bidding for the Chapelli & Mallett (lol)
If only we had all done a deal, we could have got them for $50 each (lol)
I also bought the Gillespie of Al (it didn't get a bid @ $60) I offered $50 and he accepted, do you think that is a good price for that card guys?
Cheers

 

[howzat]

Yes it is a small world, very ironic!
That Gillespie is definitely a good price People tend to forget how good Dizzy was because he was overshadowed by McGrath, but the bloke took 250+ test wickets and also scored a double! So to get his most limited sig card for $50 seems like a score IMO

I have seen these Sigs go Up & down (the last ones were WAY up) so I wasn't sure what to pay on this one as it is a little faded. Overall I am pretty happy with the 2 cards I got from Al's card Shop
Anyways I have 3 Heroes Autos now (takes 6 card slots with redemptions) so I want 3 Topps Autos to sit neatly below them and fill the page

The last Punter from this set that I bid on, I got outbid for around the $120 mark, and I think the others from the series went for $80+ at the time...
