I wish I still had that, it went into the ocean during Katrina.

That's sweet Simon Gagne was always my favorite Flyer and still my favorite player, I would've freeked if Gagne bought something from me. He signed a card for me once when I mailed it into him too.

My brain isn't working too well on who, but I have sold to about 15-20 family members the last couple years. The only one I can remember is Chris Okey from chrome USA.

And Keith Olberman has bought a bunch of cards from me includinga Joba Green Tint from Heritage, but nothing of his.

Former Brewer "great" centerfielder Bobby Coluccio (70's).... Thanks for the memories.

Laxbam619 · 12-05-2011, 12:30 AM

wow these are all pretty cool stories...i've sold 150 cards give or take, and have yet to have it happen...im sure it is pretty cool when it does though

bziddy · 12-05-2011, 12:33 AM

I just sold a card to a family member...

J.B. Shuck's family maybe? Had this happen 2 or 3 times now.

I've sold a card to Keith Olbermann.

rhvalk · 12-05-2011, 01:56 AM

Sold a wal-mart black border Daniel Nava RC to his father Don on ebay about this time last year (bet he was proud seeing his son hit a grand slam on the first pitch of his first major league at bat)

She can't corner the whole print run. I have another raw piece plus a graded BGS 9.5/10 that is part of the set I am making. I have 30 of the 41 cards in the set graded BGS 9.5. Sending out the other 11 to get graded soon.

I sold a 2011 Bowman Chrome Matt Lollis blue refractor 150 to a woman with Lollis as last name. So I figured it was family member of some sort.

A week or so ago I sold a 2011 Bowman Chrome gold ref./auto to Christopher Wallace's dad.

Large base lot's full of dupes attract players and parents it seems (probably to autograph and give out to kids etc...), sold a 20 card Mike Bacsic to himself as well as Dustin Mcgowan, then sold a bowman chrome base card of dan straily and a Ryan Wheeler auto to their moms.

tmgrnzx9r · 12-05-2011, 07:46 PM

I just sold a Nathan Enderle (football rookie this year) and the winner had the same last name. So I asked if he was related and he said yes a long distant relative....

willcvincent · 12-05-2011, 07:59 PM

I've sold to Pat Dean's dad, Danny Duffy's mom, Brad Boxberger's dad, and Ryan Brett's mom. I was asked by Ryan Brett's mom if i wanted an autograph, I sent her a ball and it came back with Ryan and Josh Sale's signature

Just sold him the Superfractor. Looks like he's buying up all color!

The Chad · 12-10-2011, 08:10 AM

I talked to Brooks Pounders of the Pittsburgh Pirates, while he was on State College in 2009 and he said his dad had nearly every card of his, and had dropped close to 500 on a 1/1.

redantshurt · 12-10-2011, 12:35 PM

I have a guy who buys from me all the time. His name is Jose Reyes and he only buys Jose Reyes cards. I wonder?

Original Boski · 12-10-2011, 12:51 PM

I sold a Brennan Boesch 2011 Topps black border to his father earlier this year, thought it was pretty neat.

death2redemptions · 12-10-2011, 01:14 PM

Back in 2007-2008 I sold many Freddie Freeman lots and refractors to his brother. He messaged me and told me to contact him whenever I pulled any of his cards. He paid TOP dollar. I knew nothing about Freeman back then.

mikecancelliere · 01-06-2012, 02:08 PM

UPDATE 1/6/12: just got 3 autos of him in the mail. Super nice of them I was only expecting one!

Sushiyoshi · 01-06-2012, 02:14 PM

Sold a 2010 Bowman Platinum Auto of Peter O'Brien to his older brother last year.

Whattttt...NO! Gagne has always been my favorite Flyer, since he was drafted. I've met him several times and he is just the nicest guy in the world. You lucky bastard. Did you send them to PA/NJ or back to Quebec?

Also, RE: Tyler Thornburg. I pulled some color ref of him...wonder if I should ebay it?
