Come on, disclose your sources!

Actually, you would probably be surprised. I can't tell you the last time I bought a Juan card from a local card shop or show. It has been years!! There aren't any more good shops around here either.

I got that one of one from eBay Buy it Now for $34.95. Some collectors don't consider it a true 1/1, but I do.

It would have to be as it was made just for the show. Not like they pulled one off the line and embossed it like years past!

I only live 2 miles from the Texas border, but that's certainly no advantage. The closest shop to me is 120 miles away, in Lubbock Tx, and he doesn't have any singles, only wax. The closest REAL card shop to me is 300+ miles away, in Albuquerque.

There's more than just ebay and Beckett, though. I got the Cardfrontations plate from the guy who runs pressplate.net, and there's also naxcom.com, sportscardforum.com, and bidville.com.

Flame me if you want, but I gave him $150 for it. Yes, I know that is way more than it would be on ebay, but I tried to negotiate with him and found his asking price to be quite firm. That's also what he wants for his '97 New Pinnacle Interleague Encounter plate of Juan. I just really thought it would be a unique addition to my collection and had the extra cash, so I decided to splurge.

That sound you hear is me choking...that is a lot for a press plate. Although I do have to say that it is an awesome item.

Just pure envy from me.
