Thoughts on this Bobby Hull

[10-4 collector]

How stupid is this? A sealed buybacks booklet!

On a scale of 1-10, with ten being unsurpassable stupidity, I would give that an 11!

So!

You buy it... You get it... What next? Do you crack it open? Do you keep it sealed?!?!

Oh the conundrum this presents istself here.

I am not sure that the seal means much....

I'm a Bobby Hull "super-collector" and I generally buy any Bobby Hull card or memorabilia I have an opportunity to buy, and I find that card hilarious, because even I wouldn't buy it (sealed or not) - and that says a lot considering I'm always looking for Bobby Hull cards and items to buy even if I already have them - and no I'm not OCD, lol - well perhaps a little bit when it comes to Bobby Hull...

I mean Bobby Hull will autograph absolutely anything you put in front of his face, he loves to sign - it's almost like autographing stuff is his hobby, lol.... You should get the case signed - he would certainly sign it with a smile on his face.

One can only wonder how many cards and items Bobby Hull has signed throughout the years.. It's funny because as Bobby Hull "super-collector" and because he signs so much stuff, I can actually look at a card or piece of memorabilia and just by looking at it tell you in or around when it was signed. If you're familiar with his autographs it's easy to tell that it has changed several times over the years.

You want to see a rare Bobby Hull card?






BTW, I'm looking for the other 8 that are somewhere out there, perhaps there are still a few in packs tho? - so if anyone has a 15-16 SP Game Used true base Bobby Hull, or knows someone that has one PM me, I would be absolutely interested...... As a matter of fact I'm interested in ALL SP Game Used true base cards- especially the legends - but 15-16 is my bread and butter. It's probably one of my favorite modern sets.

The last 15-16 Bobby Hull SP Game Used "true base card" (I'm pretty sure it was # 3/9), up for auction - the ebay seller wanted $175.00 for it, and I didn't feel comfortable dropping that much on the card, but I nearly did being the Hull collector that I am... I offered the seller $125.00 for the card but he wouldn't budge, but in hindsight I kinda regret not giving in and buying the card - because I haven't seen one for sale since - ebay or other through other hobby sites.

To make matters worse, I'm from Chicago, and I planned on going to the national. I was all psyched about the weekend even and I saved $$$$$ for months because I was looking for quite a few high end cards and that card and it's twins were at the top of my "to buy or trade for" list, however I missed the convention entirely for unforeseen circumstances, which obviously angered me because I was confident I was going to get the cards I desired, and was sure I was going to be able to pick up at least one of those 2015-16 Bobby Hull true base cards..... Don't get me wrong - I don't mind buying cards off of ebay, I do it all the time - but I would rather buy, sell & trade or do business in person.. I mean it's not like your LCS has cards like this in their inventory... It's not like you can walk in and say: "hey, you wouldn't happen to have a 15-16 SP game used Bobby Hull true base card would you? - I would prefer number 9/9, but I'll settle for whatever you've got" lol, Like it's a 1984-85 OPC Wayne Gretzky or a 1980 Topps Nolan Ryan or something like that, lol... Actually I bet my LCS probably doesn't have an 84-85 OPC Wayne Gretzky, and they deal more in vintage than your typical or average LCS.

As far as Bobby Hull in general, considering Bobby Hull signs just about anything and everything - I would bet if I got that SPGU card autographed it would destroy it's value.. In a bizarre way that card is too rare for Bobby Hull to autograph while retaining it's value. Besides, There's already a 2015-16 SPGU auto - it's essentially the exact same card, just autographed, I actually have a couple of them and they're easily my favorite of the 100+ Bobby Hull autos I have... Real cool card!

And if anyone reading this collects SP Game Used true base cards - or even Mark Messier, I have a 2014-15 Mark Messier true base numbered 2/11 that I have for sale or trade. Too bad he's in a Rangers jersey - the card would in my PC if he was in an Oiler's jersey - it's still a cool rare card tho, it just doesn't appeal enough to me to hold on to it, and and actually I only bought the card out of opportunity, the price was just too good for me to pass it up regardless which jersey he's in - so it kinda fell into my lap... Only a fool would pass over that card at that price. So yea, if you collect Messier, SPGU or are a Ranger fan and want a 2014-15 SP Game Used true base Mark Messier, PM me and I'll send you a pick and perhaps we can work something out.

It's kinda like a "dare to tear", except you already know what's inside.

Stupid question is that.a UD sticker on the case for sure as I could not see Upper Deck anywhere by looking at front or back? Just asking as I do not know what their sticker looks like.

I dare you to say what is inside. As you seen some serious errors before and what if they forgot to sign the auto LOL. You know there been some stupid stuff put out there and this would be one to top the list. Would be funny for anyone except the owner of the card.

LOL I was thinking the same thing! It's too bad they couldn't have done this differently.
