)):) I've been eyeing this baby since it was listed. It's one of 8 BGS 10 Bowman Chrome RCs of Crawford. That is an amazing steal imo. I got lucky on it too, it wasn't nearly as high as I thought it would be so I bid $69ish at the last second when the bid was only at $51, thankfully I did. This is one of my favorite cards in my collection.

Awesome. Thats a great card too.

Thanks a lot, still psyched about that win. I plan on buying a few Topps Traded Chrome, regular Bowman's (maybe), and maybe another refractor or 2 since mine is such a bad grade and sending them into BGS with my Traded auto (which I'm confident will get a 9.5) and Bowman gold incoming. I'd like a full set of his Bowman/Topps rookies graded 9.5 or 10's (only really want the regular Traded/BC to be 10's since they're the only 2 that were ever given 10's). It's more of a long-term goal. I've seen like 4-5 Gold refractors #ed /25 in the years I've been collecting and I'm sure a few have sold while I was gone. So I highly doubt I'll be getting my hand on one anytime soon. And the international refractors on right now are asking pretty steep prices.

Well a bad day just got a little better. I'm a Rays fan obviously, and it's disgusting seeing them lose to the Rangers (although I did predict a game 1 loss). I just didn't see them not getting any offense and David Price looking so bad.

But I put in 2 random offers before going bowling earlier on 2 cards I didn't really think I had a chance at.

The guy had both of these at $50 a day ago, then put them on sale for $30 a piece. With 6 hours to go, I put in 2 almost sarcastic offers (what's the worst that could happen?). To my happiness, they were accepted. I just need money now haha.

I'm not sure what it will look like when you click those links, but I bought them for $13.50 each.

I love the 06 Bowman Originals set, probably my favorite set. I'm missing quite a few of them so I don't ever expect the full collection, but I just love the looks of them.

Been doing good. There are still a lot of people you should recognize from the early days of the site along with a lot of great new members.

It's a longshot, but I'm hoping the Superfractor and other plates get listed. I'd love to go for my first real Topps rainbow for this set.

Well, Crawford's career as a Ray appears to be over with. After dwelling on it, and thinking back to the question I was asked earlier in this thread, I am a Rays fan. But I am a Rays fan solely because of Crawford (I've learned to become fans of them all by liking him first). I will be pursuing Crawford cards even with him on a new team, and I will probably be rooting for that team as well, over the Rays. I can rant for years why I have no will/motivation to root for that organization anymore. If they can't keep Crawford, then I will no longer be a fan.

I think you will be an Angels fan soon lol

[CrawfordFan13]

Fine with me haha. There will always be a spot in my heart for the Rays, but I just have to root for Crawford. By next April, if I can't get any enthusiasm following another team then I'll remain a Rays fan. I know they had 96 wins, but they're just...... frustrating.
