$158, because "E-S-L-E-R" looks stupid

[87sluggo]

I'm not here to gloat about my latest eBay victory, I'm quite disgusted with myself, but ya gotta do what you gotta do, right?


I started with an "R" and built the rest of it up over the last 8 months, piece by piece............











Manufactured patches, not even game-worn!! But the Nameskes had Kesler's picture on them, unlike the UD Lettermarks or Panini Whatevers, so I chose them. The "R' cost me a fair bit because I was stupid in the beginning, I had no idea about the individual print-runs. The rest of them were $25-40 apiece, not tooooo bad.......

Then the "K" popped up. I put in what I thought was a HUGE snipe, just to be safe. I was $12.00 over. A HUNDRED AND FIFTY-EIGHT DOLLARS for THIS????























That's 1/1 money, not 1/5 money!! I'm assuming the print run on the "K" is 5, which leaves the other 5 at 14 each. I could be wrong. In any case, I own this now.....















So it's not allllllll bad. And a good way to end the week. Y'all enjoy your weekend, I'm gonna try to take advantage of free listings on the eBay to re-coup some monies :D

Holy Krap that's some good gettings Ed!!!

Seems somebodey else out there really wanted a K too..... Guess he'll have to deal with his essler for little while longer....

You know if you replaced the "S" with a "D" then your name plate would have been complete!

All jokes aside glad you finished the nameplate! I know that last letter (or first letter) is always a pain!

Frame that stuff up behind UV glass. That's better than hanging up a jersey! Gratz

Congrats on the completion but ouch on the 158, but if its the first plate and so close to completing it definitely needed to be done and obviously someone else needed a K also to bid you up. Like this set plates done by prime also, grabbed three quickly for JT, got the T for $37 and two A's one for $24 and one for $31. But now I see the V for $100 and I just cant pull the trigger, maybe if it was the very last piece I need but for now will resist the temptation. Did they also do the numbers for Kesler to match ?

Have two other plates completed , think UD did a good job on the draft days one with the player image on the card.

Nicely done, Ed. The Scream made me laugh, but the nameplate is no laughing matter, it is a must-have for any serious player collector striving for super collector status! Looks great, man, looks great!

Yah, the Draft Day cards are the best of the bunch, but UD never made them for my guy :/

And I'm pretty sure there's no numbers for the Kesler set, my "K" is 5/75 and my "R" is 75/75, that's the run................




That's one amazing display there, Dean!!!
