Thanks for the Mess Jay!

[lid26]

As most of you know, Jaywings is a great trader and a all round good guy. He and I were both interested in the card below and we both inquired about it around the same time. When he found out I was asking about the card, he kindly stepped aside and let me get it as he knew I needed if for my set. Once again, thanks Jay, I owe you (again)

00-01 SP Authentic Sign Of The Times Mark Messier /47

Sweet card, those Messier's aren't easy to come by

Is the print run truly /47?? Seems the BV of $100 is not right if it is..

Try Bourque in that set if you want outrageous SSPs
Nice Moose. Hopefully UD offered him a case full of Lays chips to get him to sign.

Hey,

Awesome card!

I am really starting to love this site. I'm a new member and have only made four trades (one with jay). He is a very classy trader that sets an example for this hobby. I hope there are a lot of stories like this to come form this amazing site. Great job by both of you guys!

You mean this guy?

John, That is my favorite Mess auto. Congrats on tracking one down. I think that makes at least 4 of them belong to HI members. Are you sure about the print run? Mike

Thanks for the info John. No wonder I had such a tough time tracking one down. Mike

Congrats on the pickup!

John - No problem! Glad you were able to snag Moose for your set. I certainly didn't want to step in the way of progress. Can't wait till you get the other SSP you mentioned.

Trev - Thanks for the kind words. I'm glad we were able to deal on that Brule card. Hopefully, you have many more positive experiences like that on HI.

Lionel - When do book values "seem right" anyway?
