Comments: I've gone back
and forth on this card, first purchasing a raw 2002 Topps #305 card
in June, 2007. I then swapped it out for a 1983 Topps PSA 10 card
I purchased on eBay in February, 2008. I decided to go back to the
2002 Topps issue when 4 Sharp Corners listed this PSA 10 on eBay
in July, 2012 and I won the item.
UPDATE: In May 2023, I found an eBay auction for a "Home Team Advantage" parallel of this card. I had picked up a raw gold refractor, as well as a black refractor, but wasn't aware of this other gold-foil stamped edition. It's my understanding members of Topps Home Team Advantage ("HTA") network were entitled to purchase a special factory-set. The sets were packaged in a blue box and each card features a distinctive "HTA" foil stamp on front except for the Series One foil-fronted base cards (#332-364). Those cards are no different then the cards seeded into packs. With this new information, I clicked the Buy It Now button and the card was mine. Now, I just need to submit the two refractor cards to complete the whole run. |
