If you do try and peel your Juwan Howard I would be interested in hearing how it went. It would be nice to know for future reference if any of the older ones are able to be peeled, or if just certain ones that have been stored under certain conditions. I saw a couple unpeeled cards listed on eBay which I originally thought were being sold as such because of there minimal value in unpeeled condition, but now I think they were being sold that way because the owner couldn't get peel off.<br /><br />I'm not for certain, but I think the John Stockton gold refractor still has some value. I'm guessing the same can't be said for Tim Hardaway.Jonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13043468725408104535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8730371508291366937.post-91005885720578434352016-05-09T02:36:37.382-07:002016-05-09T02:36:37.382-07:00Stinks about the finests.

The good thing is that because they are not autographed or relics you should be able to find all 3 versions on comc or eBay for not too much- not that I've really looked...Billy Kingsleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11847326710191224832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8730371508291366937.post-28167704872737536692016-05-08T05:35:01.567-07:002016-05-08T05:35:01.567-07:00I was wondering if anyone was going to mention Dor...I was wondering if anyone was going to mention Dorn Taylor!

Except when it comes to the really old stuff, like for example the '33 Goudey's, I certainly couldn't afford to start that set with a 50 card lot. So I just have to pick up cheap singles when I can find them.Jonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13043468725408104535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8730371508291366937.post-24604000655676842352016-05-06T17:03:24.930-07:002016-05-06T17:03:24.930-07:00Great looking set.

I don't get very much joy from the cards if I buy someone else's collated set.<br /><br />Well, I'm only out twenty cents, so it's not like it's a big financial loss. And to be honest, even if I knew before hand that the peels were permanently stuck, I probably still would have got them.Jonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13043468725408104535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8730371508291366937.post-297767900236318622016-05-06T05:53:40.875-07:002016-05-06T05:53:40.875-07:00If I were to start putting sets together again, I ...If I were to start putting sets together again, I would probably focus more on buying lots and if possible the whole set on eBay. The sp's just make it so expensive to try and build card by card and/or opening boxes. <br /><br />Sorry about the Finest cards...BobWalkthePlankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16011292576523365641noreply@blogger.com
