A whale that jumped in the boat.

Everyone,
I was set up at a mall show a couple weeks back, trying to move some cards and make a little cash. Guy beside me told me this card was at another booth, and he knew I would be interested. It cost me some cash and sweet McDavid, but in the end I am VERY happy to get this unexpected GEM into the collection.

I know it is Topps, but who cares it is Mario!! in a 9.5, just love it!!

Later all
Thad

Simply awesome! Congrats on an epic pick-up. Mario's my favorite player of all time, so whether it's a Topps or OPC, a BGS 9.5 is sweet.

Thanks guys! I have been on the look out for a PSA 9 in either and this came out of no where, but so happy it did. Now of course my whale want expectations just went a lot higher, still need a PSA 9 or better OPC and a 10 in Topps. Just so everyone knows, yes I am wanting to pick up a copy of each in PSA / BGS / SGC in any grade. I know it is expensive, but I figured who else could say that!

With two kids in college I don't expect to be able to grab anything in the 10 range, but then again I never expected this guy either. I will post more when I get them!

Thanks
Thad
