I was just giving you a hard time. Congrats on the absolute once in a lifetime pull!!

I'm still a little in shock, and very jet lagged from a quick 60 hour stop in Dallas. If anyone is interested in it, or knows someone interested in it, feel free to shoot me a PM. Will gladly offer a finders fee for anyone who can help facilitate a sale!

Otherwise, I'm still weighing my options as to how I want to sell it.

Congrats OP on the pull of a lifetime

Hopefully your 60 hour trip to Dallas was to negotiate terms to get grading through COMC reinstated!

Any solid offers yet? It's funny you flew down to BGS and had it graded. I would have done the same thing. BGS take any photos or do anything interesting other than grade it (interview etc)? I'm sure they were happy to have a card of that caliber come through.

I'm talking with a couple of people off eBay about it.

They didn't do anything like that, though I did show up unannounced the minute they opened on a Monday morning. I believe when Jimmy had his Zion/Barrett 1/1 graded he let them know ahead of time, and he was doing it for charity, so his story is much better.

Yea, I saw Jimmy got 15k for his. I'm sure it got quite a premium for being a charity auction. Yours should bring 15-20k IMO

Jimmy is a class-act and one of the best people in this hobby. If there is anyone who not only deserves, but is perfect for the attention that card is receiving by the media, it is him. From the time I first met him, the way he carries himself, and the way he enjoys new base cards just as much as the big hits, his love for the hobby is deep.

I'm perfectly happy with my 150,000 views and 500 new followers on TikTok and not drawing any extra attention to myself. The best message I got was something along the lines of "Thanks for giving the guys who bust retail some hope."

Anyone know if the Zion black 1/1 non auto has been pulled? What do you think that will bring?

Have not seen it yet. I personally like the non-auto versions better. I imagine it would bring 10-15k.

That much? I was thinking more around $5K! At least that’s what I’m hoping it would sell for!

Anyone care to guess what the dual black mosaic Zion/Barrett ending tonight will go for? Last time, it went for $15K+...right now it's at $6K.

My guess is $10K max...

No, he’s said and also posted on IG that he’s covering the difference.
