I needed a Dennis Rodman RC for my 1988-89 Fleer set build, and I was tired of searching for the perfect example of a card I didn't really want to spend $25-30 on in the first place. So I searched eBay and came across one that was in decent enough shape at a decent enough price.
The seller was running a promotion: 20% off two or more items. I was at work and couldn't spend too much time scrolling through all 8,000+ cards he was selling, so I stuck a few interesting ones in my cart along with the Rodman.
Six other people were watching the Worm and I doubted the card would still be available eight hours later when I finally got home. So I ducked out into the lobby of my office building and quickly placed my order.
And that's how I ended up with all of these.
All serial numbered except the Levens - which was the most expensive at $3. Total for all seven cards came to about $36. I had no room for the MCW in my basketball box but I squeezed it in because I love color matching parallels.
I only need the Michael Jordan base card to finish the '88-89 Fleer set; I'll have to get a graded copy because the MJ market is so insane that people would probably counterfeit a “third year” card.
Thanks for reading!

I don’t want to know how insane the prices on a 3rd year Jordan could be. Good luck
ReplyDeleteI forgot what a great card Varitek had that year!
ReplyDeleteNice Levens refractor! Especially for that price. And that Rodman is looks awesome. Most of my 88/89 Fleer is really off-centered. Don't think any of my cards are as clean as that.
ReplyDeleteeBay saying that someone already has the something you're looking at in their cart is silly. I have a number of watched items where that's supposedly the case, and yet none of them ever seem to sell.
