3rd White Whale Harpooned and what a catch!!!
 

I'm just soo excited to have been able to get one of these. I've been searching and searching and then it finally popped up on ebay after almost 8 years of searching. They are just silly rare and I paid ALL the money for it because I had to have it for my PC. So without further ado.... I give you:












******** drumroll please **************

Very nice. I love to see passion and excitement when picking up a rare card. That's what collecting should be about.

WOW
congrats man
your Allen PC is just getting ridiculous
great job

Uh woah, thats nice

Nice pick up. A great card of a sure fire hall of famer.

Very, very nice. Loved your drumroll, too

Damn man... what's it numbered to?

wow! congrats! do you have both credentials from that year now?

Thanks guys. It cost me A LOT but it was well worth it. It's numbered to 33. I don't have both credentials. The other one was on eBay a few weeks ago but went for almost $700 (for a card with higher numbering that sold for almost $200 more than I paid for the one I just got) and I had a feeling I was getting shilled so I backed out on it. But I do need the Essential Credentials Future if anyone knows where one is. But I'm soo excited to have gotten it. I just turned 30 yesterday and I still get all giddy and jumpy like an 8 year old boy when I land a major PC Card. And in response to JasonM32..... Yes I totally stand behind you on this because over the last 20+ years that I've been collecting.... I've seen it go from card shops everywhere and being able to buy that cheap pack and pull something huge and watching the other kids and myself get all excited about it to buying a box for $2500 that contains 5 cards and people being disappointed/excited and then they turn and burn and flip it for some quick cash... Kinda sad if you ask me

Nooice !
:)

Thanks... I absolutely love it. I wish I could just fly there and get it myself

NIce Ray Allen card!! Solid player/career/etc..

Lol I love that pic.... And yes... There was nothing stopping me from getting that card and I was surprised that I was able to get it for as cheap as I did. But looking at the card... Is it something that'll get a high grade if I send it in? I'd hate to send it in and have it come back an 8 or 8.5 and who does better with inserts? BGS or PSA?
