160 Carey Price Fleer Ultra RC’s?!!!

Looks crazy, but it is legit. This seller has sold many lots of the same card before many times, including rarer ones.

I picked up 21 of 25 cards of a parallel numbered #/25 a while ago (Enroth 2009-10 Fleer Ultra Rookie Ice Medallion /25). He had similar number of copies of other players in the set, too.

He has many sources to gets the cards/lots he does in order to re-sell, which in the past have included people close to Upper Deck from way back when I believe, so some are back-doored. Not saying these are, but some stuff he's sold in the past have been.

Interesting thread here. I'm just catching up on it all now. This was my first set I ever super collected. I did the full set of each--- Base, Gold and Ice Medallion /100. 1-200 were the regular set. 201-250 were the rookies included in packs. 251-271 were the redemption rookies that included Kane,Toews, Price and Backstrom. I think these are more rare than you might think. 251-271 were never in any of the packs and they were only redemptions. Who even know how many were actually redeemed. I also have the full set of 20 unscratched redemption cards with multiple Prices I think. To collect that many of them would have been amazing, unless they somehow got them later from Upper Deck?

I know this brand would never compare to the Young Guns, but just checking PSA, and they're only showing 24 of this Ultra Price base rookie coming thru there. That's not a lot and I know there are other grading sites. I have been sending in some of my set to PSA and most of it doesn't grade well. I also collected the auto set, jersey set and patch set /25(working on finishing my second patch set now).

It's possible someone collected that many. That would be one hell of a super collector. It wouldn't have been cheap to gather that many of them. I just don't see how they would be able to do it. If that's the pile of them they're not even sleeved? All of those redemptions were sent back to you sleeved and top loaded. Weird.

I believe New England Sports Cards is the where the 'not gem mint' cards of 4SharpCorners get sold from.

If I am not mistaken, companies like D&A and BBCE buy large collections around the country and lower to mid end get bulk sold to 4SC. Then they pull out the gradable ones, grade them and sell on 4sharpcorners (they are the biggest submitter in some categories) and then all the rest get bulk sold in lots via NESC. Wash, rinse, repeat.
