Opinions Wanted! Buyback for a Set?

[DredJAw]

Hey gang,

I'm working on an older auto set that has become increasingly difficult to find the last 2 autos I need.

So one FINALLY appeared on ebay (after like a year) but it is a Buyback from another set. It has that little "sticker" on the back of the card. Same exact card + little sticker on back and COA card.

Now my question is, does this detract from my set? and if so by how much?

I'd like to hear your thoughts, thanks!

its a personal set right? i don't think the back means squat.
just because UD holds some copies back to "buyback" at a later
date, go for it and kill that set, my .02 Keith

If its for your own PC I say go for it. A buy back is still just the original card with a stupid sticker and # added. Its still going to depend on your opinon. If you fnd another one you can resell the buyback.

It's fairly easy to remove the sticker with a blowdryer.

Thanks for the replies guys!

John- Do I really want to try that? How long do I keep the hair dryer on the card and at what distance? etc

It does not degrade the set. Who else is going to see the card back?

Nice pickup, Ernie. You got a great price... I'm guessing that was either because it was a buyback or didn't have the true set name in the title.

Probably a combination of both I'd imagine.

Now its down to 1......... anyone have a 01-02 SPX Wayne Gretzky Signs of Excellence ?
