I pulled this last week from a pack of Allen & Ginter. It was the first 1/1 I've ever pulled, but I sold it almost immediately for a few reasons:
1) I knew I could fetch a good amount for it, after seeing what other wood 1/1's were going for.
2) I could use that money towards cards I really wanted.
3) I know I'm in the minority on this, but I can't stand "new" mini cards. I have a few T206 and pre 52 Bowman's, and I love them, but they're all slabbed or very secured upon purchase. Pulling minis out of packs is nerve racking for me. I always worry I'm going to chip the card or not have it secure, or worse, lose it because of the size.
I was very pleased when I got $500 for this.

The one you sold or traded and why.

I love you guys Even if you hate my collection, you feed it.
And nice sale on that Snider Wood mini, $500 is a fantastic price, must have found a rabid Dodger fan willing to pay that! I'll be home on Saturday for anyone that wants to deal away any nasty unwanted minis My biggest regret, I pulled an on-card Ken Griffey Jr auto from '99 UD Legends (I think) and I sold it for a good amount just to turn around and buy more wax If only I had todays discipline back in the 90's I wouldn't be sitting on 100+ monster boxes full of base cards.
If it wasn't something you were keeping I would say man you took a real hit with the Arod.

A complete set of 1983 Star Basketball for $2,000. At the time that was 90% of book. The guy set the cash on my coffee table and I needed the money at the time.
Mine was this one 'graded BGS 9 MINT' (my favorite card at the time) I sold it for a premium price so that I could redo a bathroom for my wife at the time around 2005'ish.....Present day, I divorced her in 2007, I'm a 1000 times more successful & have a WAAAAAAAAY better collection than I did when I was with her....SOOOO whoever is now living in that old house is taking a sh!t on my card :/ However I do have another one that I'm planning on sending in to get graded Here's the card of my story:
L@@K: "The McCardlane Collection" ... All right here!!! http://smg.photobucket.com/user/rollx8/l...LB%20Cards
