Fun Times at the Card Shop

[SilverJakal]

Today, I was going through my Topps Chrome and putting them in order to find out which I still needed to complete the set. Afterward, I visited my local card shop to see if a few of the cards I needed were available there. After going through the cards at the card shop, I noticed my "needs" pile was pretty large. I asked the shop owner what he wanted for the sizable stack and gave him my duplicates in order for him to look through. The stack I had given him to look through included quite a few refractors and rookies and I figured he would select the ones he wanted and return the rest to me. He asked if I'd be willing to give him the whole stack in exchange and I figured that I would have traded other people for cards I needed anyway so it was a fair trade. The shop owner also decided to give me a free pack of Topps Chrome in good faith. I was happy to get the cards I needed and he was happy to have cards to sell. When I opened the pack of Chrome, I found a Tom Brady (Patriots QB) base card, a Jermaine Cunningham (Patriots DE) rookie card, a Lamarr Houston (Raiders DT), and a Jimmy Clausen (Panthers QB) rookie patch autograph card numbered to 25. :)

(By the way, I'm sure you guys know what position everyone plays but I had copied and pasted this from my blog.)

Thanks for the offer but I'll have to pass. I've already tossed it onto Ebay. I'm really trying to pull together some money to get Chrome Sam Bradford and Colt McCoy autos.

Are the blemishes all from your scanner?

Are the blemishes all from your scanner?

Yeah, my scanner tends to make all of my cards look like a mess, unfortunately.

[SilverJakal]

How much do you guys think the card is worth?

Congrats! That's a great example of one of the many great things that the lcs provides to the hobby. I hope the one in my area stays around.
