Thanks guys. Yeah if you are a Celtic collector or old school guy then this is one of the cards you dream about. I was stressing about it in the mail but its was reg and insured but still.
Its in fantastic conditon. Sharp corners, no surface marks, great edges and great focus with no snow that is associated with this set. If it was better centered then it would probably be an 80 or psa 8 making it one of the better Russells out there. But its not and thats a good thing so I could afford one.
Centering is a big deal for this set. I've seen psa 4 centered ones sell for $1,200 US before in the last year.
And for those that asked BV is only $1000US but they sell all over the place. A psa 8 sold recently for $4,805US but I paid a pittence of that. Thats the best part. I got a steal of a few hundred US off its value. And I was $20 off my max! Damn I was happy with that.
And for the ones that don't know I sold 8 of my 1985 jewel prisms stickers but kept the Birds and they brought in over $750US so that helped of course
I bought them orignally 18 months ago for $8 each!
Cheers...What a great day
