That would have been nice to know Jeff, I would have made an offer...
I am a huge Kaline fan as well. I have an employee in Detroit who literally grew up with Al as his idol. When he passed, I shipped my only autographed card to him (psa 73 Topps) as I knew he would need it more than me. That was a great moment. He held a zoom meeting with around 25 guys and we toasted Mr. Kaline and the card...the boys from Detroit area were very emotional. Cool moment and showed what he meant to a lot of people.
So that card was on a BIN for $32. My goal was to beat the BIN for my last card. 5 TIMES with cards equal but no better exceeded the $32 mark, a couple close to $50. I finally said screw it, bought the BIN! Not sure how that became the last card, always funny how the last card happens. I usually buy the big cards first...
