i was looking to fill out a sportlots order last year, and found that a particular shopping cart seller had in their inventory a needed variation from 2003 bowman heritage. it was the third duke snider variation in the set, mind you, so i added the card to my cart and eventually placed the order.
well, the card that arrived was actually the the variation of the variation
i wound up adding it to an order from comc that took six months to arrive.
sometimes it's just too much.
I hear ya. As a collector who needs to have every variation of specific cards out there... sometimes it can feel like a curse. Glad you have it now in your hands.
ReplyDeletethe crappy thing here is that i only added the base variation just to fill out a sportlots order - it wasn't something that i felt strongly about. but, once they sent the variation of the variation, i had to have the other card.
DeleteThe card companies sure don't make it easy for team and player collectors these days, do they?
