Feel for jerseys and such. I pulled a sweet card once with Jim Thome and Jim Schmidt double sided with pieces of their bats. Didn't sell it right away and then Thome was traded from the Phillies. . I imagine now its useless. But now they put the cardboard in there. And to get the more valuable cards...you gotta go to a shop to get those brands. And look to trade that card once he reaches the hall of fame. Nothing is better than a hot topic. Either death or hall of fame gets a guy in the news.

The Gabbert is worth 50. for the 3 boxes total i paid 115 + 10 to ship. haha yeah, we pulled Jersey cards all the time but for every Kobe-Lebron we got we would get like 4 Luke Waltons. We always said why in the world are they even making a Luke Walton jersey card hahaha

I felt so bad a few days later I gave the kid like 15-20 more cards to try and make up for it. The duncan was worth like 150 at the time Pokemon. Ahhhh...the good ole' days. I "grew up" in that era and then it turned to Yugioh when I was in 5th/6th grade.

Yea...I've seen them. $50 a pack for the one I saw because that set had a LeBron James rookie autograph out of 5. If you get it...that's a few grand. But that's if you get it.

All-Star Joined: May 2007 Posts: 11477 Location: New York	#674 Posted: 1/9/2012 9:46:44 PM There are only 10 of those cards so what are the chances one of those other 9 people posted it on the internet. Kind of crazy if you think about it. Jim lets hit up the card shack this weekend.
