Joy of a Completed Set - 2008 Masterpieces Football Blue /150

Yet another completed set. This one was a bit tougher to complete for some reason and had a pretty funny ending. I was down to 2 cards, Walter Payton and Joe Montana. Two Hofers. Sometimes the stars are harder to come buy and some are easier. Anyway, a few months ago Walter Payton came available and I was a bit short on cash. Thinking that another one would come available I let it go and it went for $10 shipped. Joe Montana on the other hand did not appear anywhere until December 26th. I thought it would go for a few bucks having seen a green /75 go for $15 or so. The problem was that I was in Big Sky, MT and would be on a plane when the auction ended. I put in a bid on the runway for $18 and was subsequently outbid. The card went for $23. A week or so later I acquired the Brown Franco Harris to complete that set.

Walter Payton was found in a case I opened back in December. The Montana on the other hand was more elusive. After I lost the one above, I searched and searched. Then I went on to a message board and amongst a huge huge sell/trade list was a solitary football numbered parallel, Joe Montana. I contacted the seller hoping to get a good deal and sure enough $3.70 shipped. I also picked up a Blue Steel 2007 JFK Masterpieces parallel for $1.50. I thought it was funny anyway.
