Even though the Patriots just lost to the Broncos (super bummed about that); at least I won this bad-boy!!!
May have slightly over-paid for the collection - considering I’m going to need to purchase a better Charizard, Blastoise, and 2 Others. Regardless, the “Firework” Legendary Collection has always been one of my favorite sets - and this helps in getting me closer to my collection goals
I was very confused by the set as as kid. I didn’t realize they were an official until many years later haha. I still have some of them myself. very nice cards man, congrats
The LC price is driving up higher & higher. A master set sold yesterday for $1300. I remember picking up these sets last year for $300-$550 a piece in great condition. There were 4 sets posted at once several times. Now it’s a fight to find them. Most of the time, the condition is disappointing. I’m leaning towards just hanging back until 10s pop up & offering a premium. The risk is getting to be too much.
I plan to open a box of every set some day, so lets hope when I do Legendary collection that I get that PSA 10 alakazam as well as a few others otherwise my wallet shall hurt badly.
You can look at these cards and they might appear mint under close inspection. But you really need to tilt them around directly under light to see the very light scratches. Most of the packs I have opened have these light scratches on them already
Didn’t realize there was a fellow Pats fan on here, but tbh, our oline played like shit. The 1 week off before the Super Bowl game wouldn’t be enough to just fix the line with gameplan specific adjustments, even for a coach as good as Belichick. I think it was better we didn’t make it back this year, as the Panthers would have beat the crap out of Brady as well. Better it be Peyton Manning getting his head smashed in the Super Bowl than Brady lol.
OT: Nice, winning auctions always feels good, and this one in particular is awesome. Don’t see complete sets of LC for auction too often.
