My First N172 Purchase! Did I do okay?

1- Yes, that's the real deal.

2- Billy Serad was one of the star pitchers for the Toronto Canucks.

3- Great pickup!! Try not to leave him in bright light for long periods of time. I've seen a few of these framed on walls, and the sunlight wears 'em out.

Thanks for the info Frank. It is always good to hear from you.

$120 for that card? Believe me, that is a great price and a great first OJ, especially for that price.

I have an OJ with a similar cut on side of card. It appears miscut. I sent it to SGC and they graded it without qualifier.

Don't think it's trimmed, looks like a natural cut to me. Nice card.

Thanks for the additional info guys. I thought I had stumbled on something good as I had never seen a Toronto player in my random ebay searches from time to time. More reason why I love this board.

I've watched one of those sell on ebay last year. It had a slightly darker image, and a slightly heavier crease. I think it sold for around 600. I thought the price was high but the card is IA, which is not really common.

You did good in general, great for a card show. imo

The only N172 I own is a copy of this Serad card [SGC Authentic]. When I bought mine it was the first time I had ever seen a Toronto N172 for sale. In the years since, I've seen it appear from time to time, but it's still a reasonably tough card to track down.

There are two other N172s that feature Toronto players. They seem to be extremely rare as far as N172s go. I have never seen either of the them for sale.

Regards,

Richard.
