Wow what a great card, congrats Patrick! And what a fascinating article! I’d really like to commend you on having the needed discipline to execute your plan. Really cool. Look forward to hearing about pursuing the next on the big board, whenever that may be.
Thanks Scott! The selling came in waves, sometimes it felt like this would be super easy and others like it will never happen. Hardest part was not spending some of the earned money on other cards of interest.
Excellent article Patrick, and a must read for anyone aiming to level up their collection and score that ultimate card!
Great story and way to go getting your GOAT card.
13% of $1300 is $169, so selling $1300 of cards would be enough to purchase a card worth $1130 (not counting the screen fees from shipping and tax).
To buy a car for what ended up being $1200, you needed to sell $1380 worth of cards (again, not counting the fees for shipping and tax).
Yes, you are correct. I was rather liberal with my rounding. I did end up paying about $65 out of pocket once taxes got added.
P.S. Congrats on getting your dream card!

Interesting about the waves.. I’ll bet!
Great article Patrick! Congratulations on getting your PSA 9 Crosby Young Guns!
Thanks! It was a fun project to complete.
