Once in a great while, a person gets a second chance to pick up a card they missed out on...well multiply that by 29. The Lofa Tatupu collector, who made everyone's lives a living hell, sold his collection to a card shop in Olympia, WA. That guy, in turn, put the whole lot onto ebay. The original lot was just for the 1/1's but you know me, I wanted more. I'll be out of the game for awhile after doing this, but I would have never, ever got another shot at these.

We will start simple:
spx platinum 1/1's...there are 7 of them here...don't know how many total were made:

Thank you all for looking! This was one heck of an addition!
 
I remember that Logo originally went for around $350. Great pickups. You should consider picking up his game used pants on ebay right now. The guy has it for $49.99 or BO. He listed it at 29.99 and it never sold, so I bet you could get it for that or maybe less.
 
F'n amazing mail :shock:

And you could not have done it at a better time in terms of his or Hawks success. I'm sure it helped keep the price more realistic.

I got them for less than half of what he paid. Off the top of my head I know he paid $101.50 for the spx spectrum, 120 for the bowman chrome plate, 55 for the Honors Vanguard/50 and 125 for the premier 1/1. :shock:

sadly my friend, the buying of anything is going to be stopped for awhile (except for some low dollar stuff). One great thing is I got to use my 10% off coupon for ebay. saved me a good chunk!
 
Amazing haul, congrats!

And having a kid is killing my search time, I look Morrah everyday and still missed the platinum 1/1
 
wow, ole boy sold out...wonder why he did it at the shop and not ebay if thats where he was driving up the prices...

congrats on the plate set :shock: ive got 3/4 on 2 plates...not all of them show up either :doh: id like to snag more, but yeah i wont pay more than $15 for them...though ive only missed a few boller 1/1s the past 2 years...2 or 3 maybe...
