BTP Made to Order: Help.

[blade]

BTP Made to Order: Decision has been made.

I collect BTP for the autographs. I'm not a big fan of jersey swatches.

However, I pulled this from one of my cases of BTP:

Now, my questions are:
1. Do I sell the redemption? and at what price?
2. Do I get a card for my PC? I'm thinking of Tony Esposito, I was a big fan of his growing up.
3. Do I redeem for someone worth money and than sell it? Who would you get?

Thanks for any input.

Well, from what I've seen that would get you quite a bit if you sold it now not really sure how much though. as for redeeming it for value, brodeur or roy are always good choices

If you aren't a big colletor of gu'd stuff i'd recommend selling or trading. And if trading i'd be interested.

i'd check if there are any Espo completes on the market thus far. if not, make your own. if there is, cash this badboy in and use the funds to pursue one.

I think doing the Espo is a great idea. It would be something you'd love as you had a hand in making that card happen. Redeem it and go for it. You know ITG will make you a killer pc card.

My advice would be to hang onto it for a few days before making a decision on what to do with it. You don't want to make a quick decision and regret it later. I had the same problem when I pulled my H&P Made To Order.

I think someone here was looking to buy one, I think his user name is LSOH

Eli (LSOH)would take it off your hands quick if you were to sell or trade.That being said ,that's a pretty sweet card and a fine looking espo could be made.

Good luck whatever you decide

IF #3, pick a vintage guy like Ken Dryden if he is on the list. That would probably get you the most bang for you buck.

Your best bet would be to trade it to me! If you keep it, definitely get someone you like. I'm sure you could get something nice for it too though. A good problem to have! Congrats!

My opinion:
If you're a fan of Esposito and really want something unique for your collection, then this is an opportunity to do so. DO NOT get the Esposito made if you are anything less than 100% committed to the idea; odds are pretty good that you'll end up deciding down the road that you want to move the piece, and won't find a buyer at a price that makes you happy.

If you choose to move the redemption card - I and others are very willing and interested...

I'd say get a nice pc-item. This is the only card(s) up til this date that you can customize and get something special out from, think twice.

If you want to sell it now, order a Brodeur. Sell it 3 years down the road, go with Roy not a 90-present player

Well, my decision is made. I want to thank all who added input.

My decision was made easier when I pulled this beauty:
