Hexagraph Auto

2012 Bowman Platinum Hexagraph Zimmerman, Rendon, McCutchen, Bell, Baez and Castro /10

This is one of those cards that kind of speaks for itself.  I purchased this card back around the holidays (merry Xmas to me).  The seller had this copy for sell with a high buy it now price or best offer.  After several rounds of negotiations he finally caved and sold me the card for a fairly reasonable price considering the scarcity of the card and having 6 autos.  Around the same time I almost won another hexagraph auto featuring Gerrit Cole.  It would have been one of those oh sh*t moments when you win an auction and automatically regret it.  I was having one of those eBay weeks where you have way too much time on your hands and was winning way too many auctions.  

The first picture is a stock picture I found on the Internet as this is a hard card to take a picture of.  Below is my copy in the Ultra Pro magnetic book case

I have a nice showcase in my basement where I display some of my prized cards with this one being one of the centerpieces.  It took me a while to get over the sticker price (even if it was Xmas money), but I'm happy to own it as I haven't seen another hit eBay this year.  I have more luck with best offer prices when dealing with high end McCutchen cards.  Auction prices for his high end cards are through the roof right now.  The biggest McCutchen fan of them all at Pirates Treasure Room has mentioned several times that he has been thinking about adding other players to his PC list as the prices are just not doable anymore.  I couldn't agree more.  I'm a team collector so I usually just treat my purchases like stocks and try to buy low.  I only add McCutchen's on special occasions and usually with someone else's money.

Thanks for reading!
