Well. Now that everything is over and done with I figured people really need to know some things. My father and I were lucky enough to hit this in a two box break. Since neither of us are Yankee fans we chose that the best option for us would be to sell it. I had a ton of inquires for this but after negotiations and 2 people canceling deals that we had, I was lucky enough to sell this to somebody who I consider a friend. So here’s the thing, I sold it FOUR DAYS before the Topps debacle and buyback happened…..for significantly less than what they were offering in the buyback. My heart dropped. It was seriously one of the worst feelings of my life but luckily, that FRIEND I sold it too, made sure that we worked something out. @bryan_collects , I just want to publicly thank you for being the kind of man that you are. When I reached out to you that night the buyback was advertised, you IMMEDIATELY answered with “we will work something out”. Not “tough shit”, not “sorry but a deal is a deal”, nothing of that sort. I know there are people on here that would have just blocked me or said “not my problem” but you weren’t one of them. Im grateful for the relationship we have together in this crazy hobby and I couldn’t be happier about getting to share this bat shit crazy experience with you. Being able to say that WE won is awesome. It was actually surprising how easy the process was TBH lol. Everybody that’s reading this novel, be like Bryan. Be caring. Be friendly. Be understanding. Be LOYAL. There’s too many fuckin jerkoffs running around in this community and we dont need anymore. Look out for the fellow collector and not everything is about “winning deals”. Being able to do this together as a community is one of the great things of the sports card hobby. We’re both glad that this got finalized and we were both able to win from a $30 2 box break 😂. Again Bryan, I know we talk outside of twitter and youre Rileys godfather but I just wanted to thank you publicly and make sure the people in this community knew that you were one of the good ones!
