In 2003, Playoff Absolute Memorabilia boxes shipped with one of the best "boxtoppers" ever, the etched glass plaques with auto/gu combination bases. These glass plaques were very sought after by player collectors.
My guy, Mark Grace, had 4 versions: jersey #/150, jersey/bat #/100, auto #/50, and auto/patch #/25. It so happened that soon after the product was released, I acquired the jersey #17/150 and the auto/patch #17/25, 17 being Grace's jersey number. A few years later, the jersey/bat #17/100 was listed and I bought it too. I always dreamed of finding the last one. This morning, it got listed and I quickly made a BO, then bought it on a counteroffer. I'm so excited to have all 4 versions #17/X! This is definitely one of my greatest player collection accomplishments.
