Question on 1997 SPX Grand Finale

[JVC]

I'm going to spill the beans. I was the one who purchased the 1997 SPX Grand Finale. Had some ebay bucks that needed spending and decided to make a stab at it. Well, looks like it's going to have a nice brand new shiny hard plastic house to live in.

Wowie zowie, that's a gorgeous card. Congrats. All of us Sandberg collectors who don't have that one yet are very jealous!

So is this the same card that was just sold for $325 slabbed?

That it is.

Nicely done. I had it on my watch list to see how long it'd take. Now I need to find out who bought it to see if it was a fellow Sandberg collector (just for curiosity sake).

It most certainly was a Sandberg collector. This guy has asked me to end just about every Sandberg auction I've had up in the past year.

I know who it is. I believe he has a large BGS collection.

Sandberg SPx grand Finale

So its back again for you Sandberg guys...... labeled "gold"...stumbled while searching for my own........

I bought a couple boxes of this years ago.What a pretty looking set.I remember going through the cards, and not being able to distinguish all the parallels apart.I remember the steel and silver parallels looked almost the same tone of these years I will go back through those boxes and see if I have any of the Grand Finale--I was thinking they were numbered to 50 all along.

Still on the search years later..... this one is on eBay right now. It does NOT appear to be a real GF, just a gold paralell but I tried to politely talk to the seller to consider it may be listed wrong, and they seem to be content having it misleading people and pretending its a "PSA Error" on the slab label. Posting pics of the card he has, and my conversation with him so people can know. Hopefully nobody falls for it. Obviously I COULD have bought it already, but its not a GF, so I'm not buying it. Wish he would take it down though. Cant stand the throught of someone payoing this much $ for a Gold one.

CARD for SALE

MY QUESTION and THEIR Response

Jeter GF example I sent as a picture to show an example of a PSA slabbed GF
