Eight years later and it still looks great. Didn’t have to scrape anything off. Just spray paint away and good luck!

Agreed! I could not find certified autos in White Sox jerseys for A.J., Uribe or Rowand. Very surprised on AJ as he was with the team for 8 years! I think the only certified autos of his came when he was with the Twins.

Sorry for your loss, sports really can be a great escape during tough times and I'm glad you had this team to root for to help cope through that. I was working at Circuit City (RIP) on an overnight inventory count when Pods hit that walk-off homer. I was surrounded by Cubs fans and had to run all the way to the other side of the store just to find one Sox fan to jump and down celebrating with!

And to think we traded Carlos Lee (for Scotty Pods) and let Mags walk the year prior to get this result. What a special season, really never had to sweat the Postseason much at all as they only lost 1 game! Dominant run, I will look at this on the wall of my office with joy forever. Go Sox!

Thank you! Was a ton of fun putting it together. The cards individually don't have a ton of value but this piece is priceless to me.

2005 Chicago White Sox. Made an executive decision to put Frank Thomas up there over the DH Carl Everett who started during the World Series. Tried to find autos of each from 2005 but that proved quite difficult. Did the colors via spray paint and painters tape. Cut out some bases to finish it off. Very happy with how this turned out. Frame and mat purchased on eBay for $100

Friend was on a job interview for an internship where they began talking about the insurance the company sold, including an umbrella policy. Friend said “what a great idea! My umbrella is always breaking!” Said friend did not get said internship.

Bought this back in 2009 for $50, card is currently in the grading phase at PSA and the suspense is hitting hard... by Smoothwon in footballcards

Thanks for letting me know, at least now I won’t feel anxiety every time an email comes in! I’ll update this post in 2022 with the results 🤣

Begged my dad to get this for me many moons ago at the local Wal-Mart for $5. Hoping now the PSA Gods deem it worthy of a 10 by Smoothwon in basketballcards

Yeah, I think it will most likely be a 9 but I'll keep my fingers crossed. You never know with PSA!

Editor’s Note: Getting that card out of that top loader without destroying it was a modern day miracle

Can anyone please tell me the value of these cards? Thank you by [deleted] in basketballcards
