Whole Lotta Mail!!!

Check this out, my mate Dan, an ex-fellow Harris Collector was selling off what he had left of his collection.

I checked out the listing, and chucked $20 bucks on it, to get it rolling for him.

I then actually read the listing, and thought "cool".... checked out the pics, and saw about 5-6 cards that I needed.

Thought about it some more, and decided to stick a sniper on hold for it. I ended up winning, probably about $120AU dlvd in the end, I can't remember.

Anyways, I got back to work today after 2 days off with a dog's disease of a cold, (I wouldnt wish that on anyone). And there was this:

Pics taken from mobile, so not the best quality.



Opened it up:





The guy sure packed them tight aye! Lovely handling I must say

Anyways, after checking them out some tonight after Tafe, I worked out there was about 200 cards or so there, and outta that lot, I needed:


48 CARDS!!!

To fill 48 gaps and a stack of doubles worthy of grading and reselling/trading, for $120AU, talk about stoked!

Some worthy mentions of these needs were (no scans):
2004 eTopps #39 (Uncirculated) - Limited to 1,362
2004 Press Pass Gold R14 #494/500 - NEVER seen one like this before!
2004-05 Fleer Tradition Dual Throwback Threads Jersey + Ball #38/50 - SICK CARD!
2004-05 Bowman Chrome X-Fractor #074/150
2004-05 Topps Luxury Box Main Reserved #07/25
2004-05 Fleer Showcase Showcasing Rookie Talent #276/499
2004-05 SP Signature Edition Notable Numbers #07/34 - Really Hard To Find
2004-05 Bazooka Admission GU - Been After One For YONKS!!!
2004-05 UD Star Rookies UD Exclusives #20/25 - Another First For Me!!!
2006-07 UD Rookie Debut Base Parallel #09/10!!

Scans won't be around for a while, I got SOOOOOOOO much scanning ahead of me at the moment, but I can safely say, there's less than 300 cards to go..... lol.

Thought I would share my experience, and joy with the rest of y'all.

Cheers!!

Nice work Scotty!!! Thats awesome!!!:shock:

Nice work Scotty. Must have been some fun going through them all....

thats phenomenal scotty... great to hear stories like this from collectors and kudos to the other bloke

dayuuumm...that looks bomb proof, I love it when sellers go the extra mile to ensure the cards get there safely!

Thanks guys, I'm not sure what the count is now, but this sure helps boost it a bit!

Currently awaiting to hear from a well known collector about a certain Exquisite card he has, that I'm trying to pry from his hands. He just hasnt come back to me with a price yet.

Trying to concentrate on key cards, and gap fillers for a while. Havent picked up a "new card" for a while.

Great work picking all those up in one hit.Well done mate.

Gratz mate awesome lot

Awesome stuff Scotty.....any day that you can add 40 odd cards to your PC is a good one!

Cheers
Matt
