Good news, everyone!
I finally completed a project! You can probably deduce which one from the title, but anyway, here's #8/8:
Yessir, this Cazzie Russell 2011-12 SP Authentic By the Letter A patch auto (#09/50) means I now have all eight in the nameplate and can finally show them off!
That's eight cards worth of manu-letter auto goodness, and they're all MINE! Here's a look at how they came together:
Total: $85.05, ~6 months
That's eight cards worth of manu-letter auto goodness, and they're all MINE! Here's a look at how they came together:
I had hoped to try to keep the spending on these to an average of under $10 per, but since all but one came from eBay, shipping costs, plus some scarcity at the end, did me in. I think I still did well by finishing this project in just six months for about $85, though.
In any case, I'm proud to have finally closed the book on one of my many concurrent projects. Now all that's left is determining how I'd like to display these, although a custom solution seems most likely at this point. But better yet, here's where I ask you experts: how are you displaying YOUR manupatches and/or nameplates?
congrats! looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Greg! Nice to finally have something done. I'm hoping my fellow Michigan fans agree with you.
DeleteThat, my friend, is a work of beauty. That is even cooler than I thought it would look. I love that it spells Michigan instead of his name too, that's what makes it awesome.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I thought that was kind of fun too. Some of the Topps ones get stupid and spell out weird nicknames instead, but one for the team name is pretty cool. I'll have to show you this in-person sometime.
DeleteFreaking awesome nameplate. Well done fine sir!
ReplyDeleteWoohoo! High praise from the master of manupatches! I guess I just put Cazzie in good company with your dog, eh? Sorry he doesn't have a sweet mustache there.
