What do you think? Were these good pickups? - bojesphob - 04-22-2013
I had marked these two auctions as ones I wanted to watch, one being close to ending and the other being one I wanted to see if it was relisted, and they both happened today, so I figured I'd see if I could get them.
Bart Starr 2012 Five Star auto (/85) - $79.50 shipped:

Seems like 100+ is what the low #d Starr autos go for, so I was surprised when the 80 dollar bid actually won!
and a 1/1 Printing Plate 2012 Prime Signatures Paul Hornung auto for 64.50 shipped:

This was an Best Offer on it, and he actually met me pretty close to what I offered, which I was really surprised about.
So, I'm kind of upset at myself for spending another 145 at the moment (told myself that I needed to get some debt paid of before buying any more huge PC items), but those prices seemed hard to pass up! So, did I spend too much for either of them? Or was this a pretty good set of pickups?

any packer auto is a good pick up...
A Bart Starr auto...is a GREAT pick up..

Yeah gotta agree - The Starr was an amazing pickup! Hornung not a bad one either lol

I figured they were pretty good, but they were both the impulse buys that I try to avoid doing, but I saw them both and went "holy crap, there's no way I can get either of those for under 100 bucks each!" and here I am 20 minutes later thinking "holy crap, I got both of them for under 200 bucks!!"!
