Hello and HELP ME PLEASE!!!

Hi Everyone,

A little background on me: I've been collecting baseball for a couple of years now and I concentrate on building master sets. I've come very close on many but find I give up too easy.

I've peroused this forum for a couple of years now and have never found occasion to post but something happened to me recently and I decided to test the minds at work in these forums. I went to my LCS yesterday and purchased 3 boxes of 2010 Finest...

I opened the first box and pulled a
1/1 PURPLE REFRACTOR POSEY "S"!!!

THAT'S NOT ALL THOUGH...the next box was fairly uneventful (standard pulls). But, the last mini-box, in the last hobby box contained a 1/1 SUPERFRACTOR NAMPLATE OF JOSH THOLE!!!

This is by no means my best pull ever, but I find myself torn because I've been selling all of my Finest (nothing in the product really jumps out at me this year). I put together a master of last year's and sold it recently for $600.00 (way too little considering it had RED REFRACTOR AUTO's of R. Howard, A. Rodriguez, and D. Price--amongst others--check it out at e-bay auction http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...=STRK:MESOX:IT).

I ask you, good people of the Blowout Cards Forums, WHAT SHOULD I DO WITH THESE?

Should I sell? If so, how should I list it--BIN, $.99 auction? What can I expect this to sell for?

Should I keep? If so, what can I expect as far as value down the road?

Any and all feedback would be greatly appreciated. I've seen you good people spread wisdom throughout the years and wax poetic about your hobby and I'm hoping that you might take a moment to suggest something.

Thanks in advance for the warm welcome and I hope down the road I can contribute something worthwhile to this community.

Sell them and get something that you DO want. How to sell? Is there anything similar on Ebay to give them realistic BIN/BO prices? If not, start them at .99 and let them run.

I'm along rjf's sediments. If your looking to sell, I'd sell on ebay. That being said I hate auctions, even though they can bring you better money (bidding war). I typicaly would do a BIN/BO listing, then if it doesnt sell, follow itup with either a reduced pricing or then auction it. Neither card will loose any value at this point.
