Early Morning EYE PATCH MAIL AKA 1 Card off the UD Premier Checklist, LITERALLY!!

[Megatron]

Well I got the Mail Slip yesterday while at work so I picked up this baby today..
Horton Premier Patch 48/99, EYE OF THE PANTHER!!! I think this baby is my new upgrade to my old Horton

I was surfing UD checking up on redemptions when I decided to click on their Premier Checklist and clicked on the Horton Patch RC and heres what they had..

The cards are identical! How cool is that? What are the odds, I always assumed the checklist card images were fakes but I guess in this case not always!

Thanks for the look, comments welcome!

Gorgeous patch, Lionel. Great coincidence on the UD website too. I'm sure you wish that eye was more centered, but still sweet.

 

[DredJAw]

That's an awesome pickup Lionel! I like the Premier's a lot this year actually (well the ones with a blu auto as opposed to the silver).

What would you want for your other one? (and what does it look like?)

Yah I do wish it was a tad more centered, but I am going to just take my box cutter out and cut off the edge so I can see the eye more, I don't care if it damages the card I can't complain its still a nice card.. Now I just need to get that Horton SPA Patch off you, if ya wanna trade lmk I still have that Bergeron SPA patch you traded me a while back and cash is always an option as well..
Thanks

Here's a scan of the old one, 2 clrs but lots, lots of layers and stitches..

Not sure what will be come of him, most likely will keep it or ebay it or trade it lol

LOL. Good luck with the boxcutter. You can call it the "Megatron Die Cut Parallel" version.

Nah... the Horton SPA is the nicest one that I've seen anywhere... and that includes both SPA and Premier. The eye is perfectly centered on the patch.

Shoulda saved your money and got the teeth one that I put up on the 'bay j/k

Nice snag on the card. Definitely an upgrade

HAHA.. You and I both know your "teeth" will go for a lot more than what I paid for the eye, plus my seller mislisted and put jersey in the title instead of patch so i think I saved a few dollars there but your teeth is going to go for waayyy to much for me but that's good for you!

awsome patch there. I really like those premier auto patches but there's no way I could afford going for that set. I cringe everytime I see your sig and compare it to mine.

You would of gotten it for a bit less if I wouldn't of bumped it up in the last seconds....I knew I should of set the snipe higher (I actually had it set higher and changed it....lol)

Nice pickup...

Awesome card. Really sweet patch. Congrats, Mike

 

[mofo88]

Wow Chris I don;t think you should complain. I just looked at your auctions and that Tootoo has to be the highest i've ever seen one go for, it's almost at Fleury's pace. Nice!
I've got my eye on the Horton hopefully not many others do.
Thanks!

$850 without having to pay Ebay closing fees and Paypal fees certainly seems worth it!

On that note, I can't believe a 2nd year player has a RC going for that high! Those 02-03 Premier patch RC's are taking off. There is a 2 color Spezza for over $500 now on Ebay!

 

[peacefrogdog]

The other players have lost a bit of momentum. Haven't heard much about Zetterberg recently. J-Bo won't get as much as a D-man. Svitov and Chistov have lost popularity too.

 

[Iceman]

It's all about the patch. A Zetty hasn't popped up in about a year. The Chistov I have is the nicest I've ever seen. Got full book on the Svitov, and had some offers already on the J-Bo. Should be interesting.

Chris, that's because I never put up a really good scan of mine

 

[Iceman]

Teal, white, black, and yellow and a little bit of plastic in the top right corner I'll have to scan it sometime.

 

[mofo88]

Hey Chris definitely think you should take the $850 for the Nash, I know I was going to bid on the patch and I wouldn't have gone that high on it. That's just me though but that's a pretty decent price for it for no fees.
Just my two cents.
Thanks!

Sweet Horton!!

vegas- Put it up with a reserve of $875 or something and see what happens.

 

[Megatron]

I'm not complainin' at all Pretty sure that's the highest Tootoo to date. Previous high was $308 I think. For some reason, my Andale counters reset on some of my auctions. I know the Horton had a lot more than 15 views.

On a side note, I just got offered $850 for the Nash via Cashier's Check. No Paypal fees that way. Debatin' on takin' it or listin' it.

Chris
GONZO! That 850 sounds really really nice.. and with no fees from paypal or ebay, that's just gravy.. Good luck with whatever you decide..

Nice pickup...

Yah Thanks a lot Terry! LOL Oh well I had a huge snipe amount set on it, as I really wanted it for my set.. I am sure you'll get a nice one too soon..
Thanks
