by far the most I ever paid for a card!!! My holy grail is now mine, just have to compelete some sales before the wife finds out.

2002 Bowman Chrome GOLD Refractor Auto Rookie Only 50 made!

I hit the BIN within the first few minutes of it being listed. I will get it graded as soon as I get it. I know the centering looks a little off, but hopefully I can get a 9 out of the card. The auction looked poorly set up, hope it is not a reflection of the condition of the card.

What do you think? I haven'y see one of these ever sell for less than 900 so the 500 BIN seemed WRIGHT!

Way to step up and make a big time purchase.

The centerpiece of your collection I'm sure.

Treasure it.

Nice buy...I'd never keep a $500 SV card in just a top loader though lol...hope the condition turns out good for you!

That's the Gold REF auto? I didn't see the word "gold" in your post but that is the version that is /50.

If so, Congrats on the big purchase!
