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
I think there used to be more low end bargains than there used to be due to changes in pricing structiure, etc but I've also had good experiences with COMC. Great for "make your own" packs.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on finishing your set!
ReplyDeleteWell done dude
ReplyDeleteCongrats on finishing your parallel set. I don't think I've ever finished a hockey card set in general, let alone a parallel set.
ReplyDeleteBtw I was wondering if you would like to do a link exchange with my blog, please let me know - thank you.
