Last week, I mentioned that I had my CC Sabathia Diamond Die Cut shipped. I was tired of getting offers like a 1987 Tim Stoddard for it. It got tiring logging in every day and seeing the same offers from the same people, over and over. Maybe I should have been more patient, but I got annoyed and had the card shipped.
As most of have already said, the cards are really nice in hand. Thick cardstock, nice shine, and a cool effect on the diamond. The die cut looks great and it's one of the more attractive cards I've seen in awhile.
It is definitely a thick card. I tried to compare it to a regular 2011 Series One card.
I collected baseball cards from the late '80s through 2002. Then I went to college and when I came out, I was lost. There were too many brands, sets, choices, relics, autos, parallels, variations. It was a turn off. However, I slowly made my way back. So here is my attempt to venture back into the hobby. I'll buy a few packs of cards here and there, comment on some cards I have, send out some TTMs, and follow the progress of my Topps Yankees Project.
Cool.. I need to get mine shipped too. How long did delivery take?
ReplyDeleteNo more than 10 days to arrive.
ReplyDeleteAren't these awesome in person? Scans definitely do not do these even the slightest justice. I also got mine super quick in about 5 days.
ReplyDeleteI like the die-cuts.
ReplyDeleteI know the feeling, I have an Alexei Ramirez diamond cut who most people would probably say, who? But I get all kinds of offers for it. I've even had a couple of times where someone offered me a 1986 Topps for it. There needs to be a button you can mark where it's not available for trade.
ReplyDeleteBTW - Thanks for the Konerko card, it was a very pleasant surprise.
