There have even been a handful of parallel sets I've liked so much that I have chased the entire set. The 1999-00 Upper Deck MVP silver signature set is one of them. Today, I finally acquired the last remaining card I've needed for a long time, Mike Richter.
I've been searching eBay for this card for the past couple of months (off and on), and the few copies that I did find were about $1-$1.50 apiece, plus about $3 shipping (most were from Canada). I really didn't want to pay that kind of money just for one card.
Then I remembered a web site that many, many other people out there have used for a long time, but for some reason I have stayed away from.
COMC.com
I decided to give it a try for the first time, and ordered the Richter along with 10 other SPs I needed to finish another set. 8 days after the order was placed, the cards arrived and I will say that my first foray into the COMC world was a great success.
It makes me wonder why I waited so long. Hopefully the next attempt at putting together a silver signature set will take less than 15 years....
thanks for reading, Robert
