As you may or may not know, Gellman over at Sports Card Uncensored has decided to start up the bat around again. The question this time is: if you had $50,000 and 15 minutes on eBay, what would you blow it on? I don't know if I could do it in 15 minutes, but here's what I'm looking to buy with the free money.
First I needed to but the 3 RC's from my favorite all-time player:
1983 Topps Tony Gwynn RC 9.5 BGS $49.99
This card would be the crown jewel of my collection. I have always liked Tony, and to own his RC's would be a dream come true.
1983 Donruss Tony Gwynn RC 9.5 BGS $49.99
The second of the RC's from 1983. Who knew then that a skinny little guy like that would be one of the greatest hitters of our time.
1983 Fleer Tony Gwynn Rc 9 BGS $44.99
I don't normally buy graded cards, nor do I own one but I needed to get big dollars and blow the 50k. The Tony trifecta would be complete.
Tony Gwynn Auto Jersey $110.00
While it is not a GU jersey, I don't care. I want an autographed jersey to go with the RC's. Just look at that sweet, fluid autograph. AWESOME!!
Tony Gwynn Auto bat from hit #2997 $9900.00
This is the bat that got hit 2997. One of only three grand slams in Tony's career. It would like look so sweet next to the autographed ball I already own.
Auto Ken Griffey Jr/ Sr Jersey $3850.00
Although I am not a big Griffey fan, I figured I had to go with something from the Mariners. Why not get something I can turn around and sell to a Griffey fan.
Seattle Pilots Home Game one Ticket Stub $275.00
As a history fan, and a baseball fan I think it would be cool to have a ticket from the first MLB game in Seattle. I wasn't alive yet, but very much like the history of it.
99 card set of 69, 70 Topps, and Renata Galasso Pilots team sets $5.51
I decided since I added the Pilots to the super set, I might as well get all the Pilots cards I can get.
1954 Topps Hank Aaron graded 9 $6600.00
I decided I had to go with a little vintage, and why not a card from the greatest home run hitter of all time( not you, Barry Bonds!!).
Auto Derek Jeter 2008 Jersey $899.99
Although I do not like the Yankees, my son is a big Derek Jeter fan. I think this would look good hanging up framed in his bedroom.
Nolan Ryan GU jersey $12499.99
I liked the Ryan Express. I know I over payed big time on this thing, but I was distracted by the pretty colors. I did like this uni's back in the day.
Original home dugout from the Kingdome $8999.99
Don't ask me why I would buy this, or where the heck I would put it. It just brings back many memories of games in that old building for me.
Patrick Marleau auto jersey $299.99
I really have to have something from my favorite hockey team. Why not a jersey from my favorite player. GO SHARKS!!
Autographed 2009 Saints helmet $1924.99
This helmet is signed by over 50 players and coaches from last year's Super Bowl winning team. Having a friend that once played for the Saints, and knowing a lot of the players still on the team, this would be special.
Autographed Pearl Jam Guitar $3499.99
This thing is signed by all 5 members of the band. not an easy thing to accomplish. As a huge PJ fan, I would love this. Whether you like their music or not, this is too cool.
All in all, my grand total only comes to $49010.42. I think I will use the other $990 to take my wife out for a night on the town. I can't leave her out of this whole thing. That was a fun little shopping spree.
