MASTRO’S SKYDASH COLLECTION IS UP AND RUNNING
Posted by Chris

DAL_Romo_Uni_Navy.jpgWith eight days to go, the Jim Thorpe Colgan’s Chips card out of Mastro’s current auction is already at $25,000 and well on its way to a six-figure realized price. This is one that all baseball card fans will want to keep their eyes on, as it will be one of the highest-selling cards ever.

I was just checking out Game Exclusives website, a company who specializes in really nice game-used football equipment from teams like the Bears, Cowboys, Seahawks etc., and I couldn’t help but notice the Tony Romo uniform it had listed for under $5k.
Romo is probably the most collected modern player right now, other than Tom Brady, and this piece really stands out to me as quite the investment.

I have by know means written off my Packers yet, but the Cowboys have a great chance to make it to the Super Bowl, and if they do all the attention will be focused on Mr. Popularity, Tony Romo. I think this is a no-brainer purchase at that price and should be an easy flip to make a couple thousand easy bucks.

************************
Speaking of the Packers... They play the Raiders at home this Sunday and I have seriously been entertaining the thought of going to Oakland's hotel to try and get a glimpse of owner Al Davis. I have never went to a hotel to get a player's autograph, other than one time in 1989 when I got snubbed by David Robinson in Milwaukee, but I think this might be one time I would try.

I am a huge fan of football history and Davis was one of the great Pioneers, from the early days of the AFL, to his feuds with Pete Rozelle.

I know Davis is a horrible signer, but it may still be worth a try. At least maybe I could get some nice photos.
