This Mario deserves it's own post!

[Magootz]

Now I did get other Marios this week but those will go in a separate post, this card is surely deserving of it own space.

I spotted this card at the Thornhill show a few weeks back and kindly asked Joe (NWOJOEY) to see if he could pick it up in trade from another dealer as the price was...lets just say ouch! So being the good guy that he is, he managed to grab it for me and we worked out a deal for it. When I first laid eyes on this beauty, I knew it would have to be in my PC even though I hate Ultimate stuff. The auto on it is one of the best I've seen, especially for this set. From what I've seen most guys autos on these cards are half in half out. Enough chatter here she is

I might take it out of the factory case? As always, comments are much appreciated and thanks for the look

Now that sure is a purty lookin Auto! Great to read that the HI community works even at shows!

Seein' as it's outta 10! I'd have to agree wit ya! Set Mario free from that ugly looking toploader! He deserves much better!

Thanks alot for the pics of the front & back. As well congrats!

Sharp card! The emblems a sweeet piece and the auto is clean and clear. If its staying in your PC (which I imagine it is) I recommend freeing it from that ugly toploader.

Congrats!

That's a wicked card.
Great patch.

good work!

Geez you werent kidding when you said you had something nice coming in!! AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING! That is one heck of a Mario. I would keep it in the case though...Why free him just to put him in a toploader or screwdown? One case to another if you think about it...might as well keep it in the original case.

Mike, wowsers! That is one of the nicer ITG Ultimate auto emblems I have seen from that series.

Congrats on the ginormous acquisition!

Mike, That is one awesome pickup. What a beauty of a swatch and the Auto is pretty well centered. That isn't always the case in that set. Congrats, Mike

Thanks for the input and comments guys, always appreciated . I am leaning towards what most of you have said and unleash the beast from the stupid oversize toploader BAP put these cards in and to boot, they put the penny sleeves upside down. This card is by no means going anywhere, so I guess I do what's best for Mario
