For example, I would definitely have to upgrade the nickel card you've got here.. Drives me crazy to see Jefferson totally upside-down! I wonder if perfectly aligned copies of these coin cards sell for a premium. Topps and most collectors obviously don't care too much, but I bet there are enough of us anal nuts out there to drive the prices up a bit.defgavhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15338984361942309651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9047326403910235658.post-86925460186844016212015-09-20T01:58:10.409-05:002015-09-20T01:58:10.409-05:00Oh dang.

Or even worse, someone bought the pack holding that one card I need and gave it to their little kid, who promptly selected out that one shiny card and began using it as a ninja throwing star.RAZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17519699812373438878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9047326403910235658.post-73719120507174340062015-09-18T11:55:33.394-05:002015-09-18T11:55:33.394-05:00Some great additions and what an accomplishment - ...Some great additions and what an accomplishment - a 100 card set of one player all numbered to 725.
