Call the cops! I just robbed this dude on ebay!


Ha.  Seriously - ha ha ha.

I've got one of the most sought after of the Murad relics, the Scottie Pippen.  And it's a silver version numbered 14/51.  And it was one of the cheapest relics I've purchased yet.  And it's all because the seller made the listing confusing as hell.  Seriously, if I didn't type in "Murad jersey, murad relic and murad silver" everyday, I wouldn't have found it.  Instead of just listing it as a murad jersey or relic, he listed Scottie Pippen's qualities.  He wasted too many words with "All-Star" and instead of putting 08/09 in the title, he first put 2009 and then put 2007 (not 2008) - all in the title's listing.  Like I said, it was confusing.  But I looked past that and saw the card itself.

There is another Scottie Pippen Murad relic listed right now that's about to end and it's selling for $20 with a couple of hours to go right now.  And I've not seen a Scottie Pippen relic sell for much cheaper than that.  Until I landed mine.

I got mine for $1.77 plus $2.99 shipping.  And I'm sure the seller is pissed.  It took a couple of days too long to get here because I'm sure he was debating on whether or not to ship it.  He didn't even get 10% of it's worth because he listed it incorrectly.  So score for me.  And you know what?  I don't even feel bad about it.  When you get as invested into completing a set like I do, you feel like you deserve a break every now and again. 

This is the 36th relic of the 50.  So only 14 to go.  I'm so stoked I got the Pippen for a low price.  The most expensive of the group is the Maravich - and I'm still looking for a deal on that one.  But I'll content myself with Scottie for now.

What a sucker. It's his own fault for listing it like that.

Nice find. I picked up some Finest redemption cards cheaply last year that weren't listed properly. I love seeing your relic set move closer and closer to completion. Everything about the Murad set is beautiful and that's going to be a set to show off.

Great find... I like the throwback design of the card and the painted picture. Murad is a clean set... and at this price, you've got it right... it's steal. Congratulations!
