Paying $200 EACH for these two cards!

[jrlebert]

OK SCF, here is the deal: I WANT THIS CARD.

I have been searching for it for 11+ years, and it has eluded me. I have two options for the person who finds the card:

Option 1: If you lead me to the card, I will pay you a $100 finder's fee, upon my receipt of the card in hand.

Option 2: If you own it, I will pay you $200 for it. No questions asked.

WHAT IS IT?!?

2004 SPx Printing Plates Black 1/1 MATT WARE


Honestly, if anyone has it, I will sing your praises from the heavens.

I also have a $50 finders fee, and $100 sale price for any other MATT WARE 1/1 plate that you find.

I will also take ANY other MATT WARE card you find, just shoot me a PM!

I have been burned a few times when searching for this card. I will need scans, and the transaction must be done either in person or via paypal, no gift. I need to cover my behind the best way I can.

So... let the search continue...

[jrlebert]

still looking!

I'm always looking for Matt Ware for you! Someday I'll come up big.

[jrlebert]

Thanks! And yes, especially if you find one of those two needles in the haystack!

This month's shot in the dark!

Do you know if they were every released or is there a chance the card manufacturers still have them?

[jrlebert]

Well, as far as I know, they were released, but I have never seen them. I have owned a few of the Platinum 1/1 parallels of different players, just as trade bait, from 2004, and I own the other three printing plate colors from 2004 SPx, so I am hoping they just put them all out there.

I have only seen two 1/1's (both are plates) that I do not own, a 2004 UD Black plate on ebay that apparently Matt himself now owns, and a 2004 UD Blue plate that was on two other sites that I could never track down.

[texastexanCC]

Oh wow tough break. Yeah I guess if the other spx plates were released there is a high probability that the other was as well. Have you ever busted those two products in hope of pulling them yourself?

[jrlebert]

I have, but its just not worth it anymore, with Eli Manning, Ben Roethlisberger, Philip Rivers, and Larry Fitzgerald among a ton of guys still playing and commanding high $$$. Just hoping that one of them, or someone else from there, wins a Super Bowl or breaks a major record so people will bust more of that year and put the garbage guys on ebay too!

[texastexanCC]

Yeah I just looked up some prices on each of those and the cheapest I could find on ebay are like 160+ a box.
