RIP Mr. Padre.

I posted this cardl for sale for $100 on the bst forum in November of 2013 right after the card was slabbed. No one was interested. I also tried to sell it on san diego craigs list at the same time. Again no interest. The card sold in a 99 cent starting bid auction for $102.50 on ebay. Below is the note I received from the winning bidder. I am a baseball fan and a card collector. I do not feel I, nor my post to sell this card is "tacky" and I don't appreciate your comment stating so. I thought this is a friendly forum, not one where its members get abused. I happened to get the raw card in a lot that was sitting in a dusty box in the back room of a comic book shop. The lot seller was happy to get a $200 sale on a slow day from a box he said he forgot he even had if it wasn't for me asking. I was happy because I got some cool trade bait including 1954 #1 Ted Williams Ex (does anyonecwant to trade for this card). And, to top it off, the ebay winner got a nice Gwynn for ultra Gwynn collector, see the note to me below.

"Randy, I just received the Tony Gwynn Islander card. It's beautiful. The*
card isnt actually for myself. Last week my father-in-law and 3*
brother-in-laws took a road trip from Wisconsin to Cooperstown to see the*
Hall. It was on my father-in-law's bucket list and months ago we started*
to make plans. He went to SDSU the same time as Tony Gwynn and collects*
EVERYTHING Tony. It was strange that he passed away the week before went.*
On our way out there he was telling us that he has over 5000 Gwynn cards*
but missing from his collection is the Islander minor league card. The*
search was on My brother in laws and myself will be giving it to him*
as a gift from the four of us. To him the card will be priceless. Thank*
you so much.*
