I guess if you work at McD's you got a awesome deal! Otherwise I have no idea! I assume you would rather not say!

I know those are limited (to get an auto'd fairway fabrics they were what 1:288?). Are they SN'd or was a production run ever announced? Its an awesome looking swatch, and I don't think you can go wrong with a Tiger Auto (especially since he won this weekend too).

Ron,

I wish I made your kind of money!!!:D

[hockeyron]

Yes they were inserted 1@288 packs ...
this one is the "grey" retail version ... with the same odds as hobby ...

There's no notation in the UD checklists but you've got to believe back in 02 that every Tiger was pretty much shortprinted ..... I believe that some were shortprints in retail and not in hobby and vice-versa ..... I know Mickelson only signed 25 hobby versions of this card ....

I like the swatch as well --- can't stand a bland white swatch so I was pleased when I saw this one .... but I also like that it's hardsigned and in this day and age of sticker autos these are really nice ...

yeh Kobe I'd just as soon not say what I paid for it but I was pleased when my offer was accepted ....
It's nice to actually have the card in hand and see it before buying unlike Ebay when you just hope when you get something it's in good shape ....

Don't worry Ron...by not giving the price but giving your "salary equivalent", we can have A LOT more fun guessing what you make. You know how us CPAs are...

For example, if you paid $1,000 for the card - well, then you make about $75,000 (assuming you are talking BEFORE TAXES @ 3.5 days). Of course, I'll be on e-bay tonight checking the going rate for the card! :D:D

[Vintage Collector]

One ended for $440 and One went unsold for $400.

Say you paid $600 = $200/day pretax +70 tax = $270/day *5 = $1350/week

$1350 * 52 = $70,000/yr good job.

Nice card.

[hockeyron]

Geez you gotta be careful what you say on here LOL .....
don't go get all excited about my 3.5 days salary statement guys cause I just threw that number out there cause I was trying to come up with some witty comeback cause when I posted on the Beckett board the 1st reply was also someone asking me what I paid ..... just thought it was funny that on both boards that the 1st reply was somebody who had to know what I paid ..... did'nt know throwing a number out there would start some people analyzing my salary :)

So sorry to disappoint all the number crunchers but no I don't make $ 70,000 a year .... not close , I wish ..... but I will give abit and say that I paid quite abit less than what that last one on Ebay sold for so I was quite happy and love the look of the card ....

That is just how we tease each other, nothing personal.:p

Great buy if you paid $300 or less:)!
