Well, many of you know I'm a nutbar when it comes to building sets, and as of my luck would have it I pick three or four of the HARDEST sets to complete. Anyways, in this case I'm building the 04/05 UD Legendary set... the ENTIRE set... including the Summit autos, Miracle Men autos, AKAs, HOFs, Triple Linemates, etc. As of yesterday morning, I was FOUR cards away from the set... the cards in question being the Miracle Men autos of Jim Craig & Neal Broten (both SPs) and the Triple Linemates of Simmer/Taylor/Dionne and Sutter/Babych/Federko.

Last month the Broten was listed, and I set my sniper program with a value that was nearly double the book value, assuming that would be adequate enough to win it... no dice... somebody outbid me! So this past week another Broten gets listed and I get word from crankshaft (Rod) to watch it... so I set my sniper again at a HUGE amount so I can get the card, figuring I'd be paying as much as the last one... got it!!!! And over $200 LESS than the last one! http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...MEWN:IT&viewitem=&item=150067055480&rd=1&rd=1 Am I a happy guy???? :D:D:D Now I realize this is a very expensive card, but I'm SOOOO close to completing the set that I just want to win! ;)

Thanks for the look! If any of you have the other three cards, message me and I'll make it worth your while (yep, even better than Barrie can offer for the Kings one! ;) :D hehehe... )

LMAO, you nutbar Bruce!;)

BTW, how do you know I won't pay more? Remember you're talking to possibly a bigger nutjob here, a guy who routinely pays big buckaroos for tough Rob Blake cards, considered by most (ok everyone) a "common" in the hobby.

So what might I actually pay for 3 old school vets, one being of the top 5 scorers in NHL history? Hmmmmmmm.......:rolleyes: :p

Oh yeah, BTW, HUGE win on that Broten!:eek: Those cards are a flippin' b*tch to find these days. Kudos to you my friend, glad you're so close to your set being completed.:D
 
Congrats one coming that much closer to the complete set Bruce. I can't wait to see some scans from that!

Oh...and yes you are a nutbar. I figured someone on here had to confirm it for you :D

Congrats again!
 
Good win for you! Congrats on getting closer to finishing the set!

And that's further proof that it's set collectors that provide the value to many products. I mean, why else would we be extolling the virtues of a $500+ Broten autograph card?

Congrats on landing that finally! Wow, a Broten /73 went for that much :eek: hmm he's not even a deceased legend auto. /25 ;) haha .. Good stuff Bruce, hope to see you kill the set soon!
