"Bush" On A Pedestal! (PG13)

[pudge27t]

Well in my search for the rare chaser cards i was led to Worthpoint | Antiques, Art and Collectibles - What's it Worth? | WorthPoint. Anyways long story short I found a vast number of his cards i'd never seen before! So i figured i'd show them & what they went for & at the same time wondering where the hell was I or doing with my life then??

I figured i'd post a couple or so a day to keep it running. A member had a great idea of doing the "Before & after" Kardashian which was pretty funny. I'll start that way but know i can't keep that up! These first two i already own but couldn't pass it up showing this! Without further ado:

Before:

After:

What a nice write up. I like how you follow each card with the eBay information in regards to sales.

So today I figured I'd start out as usual with the before & after, then later move on to some sick stuff & a little bit of personal history!


Pretty much Identical here!

Before w/Kimmy Kakes!!



Sold For:


I remember when this stuff hit, it was nuts!







After:



Sold For:



Still More than i paid for mine!







Then i ran into this!!! I actually own this exact card & so i got to see the history of it a bit!



Sold For:








After:



Still is about $100 more than i paid for it! I got it shortly after the last sale on Blowout.








Moving on to one of "My Chaser" cards!



I don't know why the heck someone even authenticated the auto when it says it on the back? Maybe I'm missing something. After asking around a lot I heard a lot of people on other sites say that the seller was probably just trying to deceive people to jack up the price! And you were right!





Sold For:



Somebody "got, got"!







After:


Got mine for a pretty penny but like i said, it was "my chaser"



Well needless to say i later cracked it open for a BGS grading!!!
Stay tuned for the BGS grading results here!

I don't know if you guys know but i tracked one down earlier but a guy wanted $900 for his?
Get da heck outta here!!

Yes, sometimes authentication has its drawbacks. Then again, there are more positives then negatives.
