On this, the last day of 2024, I thought I would do one last post here for the year. I have acquired sooooooooooooooo many nice cards in 2024 and could never realistically do a post trying to decide on just a "Top 10 cards of 2024".
So, I have decided instead to do a "Best card transaction of 2024" thread.
This is easily the biggest transaction, and smoothest transaction of the year for me. The deal was with a collector from Germany who is one of the greatest to ever deal with. Some of you may know him...Chris Kulhanek. I did a few deals with him in the past. He was a big Percy Lesueur collector, and I traded some of my Percy cards for cards he had that I liked. Those trades always went well. Back in July of this year, he messaged me knowing I liked a lot of his cards. He said he was paring down his collection and asked if I'd be interested in some of them. He showed me the 8 cards that he thought I'd be interested in (I was!) and they were all up my alley...vintage game-used player cards with lots of Vezina and Cyclone Taylor...my kind of cards! Problem was, no way I could afford all of them at that time. Maybe one here, another in a month or two, etc. He really wanted me to have them, so he offered that he would accept monthly payments. That sounded good, I could do that. And he made the offer even better. He would send the cards first, and I could make payments over a 6-month period. WOW! Building trusting relationships actually works in this hobby! Super nice of him to do that! :thumbsup:
He sent me the cards and starting in July, I made 6 monthly payments to him, with the last one being a couple of weeks ago. Chris, I just want to thank you again for a smooth, and generous deal! :dance:
So, without further ado, here are the 8 cards from this transaction:
ITGU20-Vintage-Taylor-LeSueur-1-1
UM20-TFF-11-Fabled-Four-1-2
UM20-RM-10-Rare-Materials-1-1
UM5-Cornerstones-Roy-Vezina-Hainsworth-Plante-10-10
ITGU21-Timeworn-Vezina-Lesueur-1-1
ITGU20-VM8-01-Vintage8-1-2
ITGU18-ATRP-12-Rivals-1-1
And the last one is a double-sided one...
Front:
ITGU20-F6-10-Fantasy-Six-on-Six-1-1-front
Back:
ITGU20-F6-10-Fantasy-Six-on-Six-1-1-back
And that was my biggest transaction of 2024. :clap:
