Got a big one this time.
2020 Topps Now Turn Back the Clock #182 White Ash Parallel (2/3) PSA 9
Not sure of the point of grading a card such as this limited to three copies, especially if you're not 100% sure it's going to be a 10. I'm guessing I paid as much for this one as I would have for a naked one, so scarce they are. I had this on my watch list and it actually popped up a few months ago and I managed to win it. The idea of adding bat wood parallels to a 1987 Topps homage set is pretty neat, especially because there are only two types to chase, and both are super limited.
I freed a Sabathia from its PSA prison back in the Thorzul Will Rule days, but this time I'm keeping this one intact. I've got a nice shoebox going with a bunch of CCs in one-touch cases that this would go with nicely.
Note to Topps: Please stop making new CC Sabathia Brewers cards. I'm at my Godfather III point already.
Wow! Nice one!
ReplyDeleteIt's awesome how far apart collectors can be on the spectrum in regards to grading cards. I'm with you in that I'd never spend money to get a card #'d to 3 graded. At the same time... I might have freed this from its case 15 years ago... but these days I'd just keep it in the holder too.
