Blake Griffin 2009 Clutch Rookie 🤩Gold 5/10 (Gold Ink) 🏀Very Rare

Description: Blake Griffin 2009 Clutch Rookie Gold 7/10 (serial numbered gold ink), Very Rare Rookie Card 📸Beautiful clean card with many pictures from all angles *This card is so rare in fact, at one point I was almost disappointed that I got these and didn’t stock pile up on more of the 2009 Topps Gold /2009, that I also got at the time, and sold for over 2 grand each a few years ago, and I only paid $10 each for those Topps Gold /2009 back in 2009. It was $50 or best offer each for the Gold /10 back then, $25 for the Silver /25 It’s been a long fun journey with these cards, but it has at times been most difficult seeing any sign of their existence out there. I had just started getting back into collecting cards back then and had discovered sports cards on eBay, and it was all over for me, lol. These were my first low serial numbered cards actually. Back when I first had collected as a kid in the 80s & 90s, serial numbered cards alone were a rarity, and a limited edition 1 of 25,000 I thought was a must-have! I watched Steph in the March Madness tournament and thought he had an amazing shot, and he was the one that I collected the most of out of that stacked 2009 NBA Draft Class because of that. I figured I’d tell the story here, since I’ve had many questions about all these Clutch rookies of Steph & Blake. 🏈🏀NEW⚾️🏒 *COMBINED SHIPPING: Only $0.25 per card listing added to the card listing with the highest shipping charge. I can either send you an invoice, or I can refund the difference on the shipping after payment. Which ever way works best for you works for me. I am not trying to make any money on shipping, so feel free to buy multiple items without worry of being stuck with an outrageous shipping charge. I often pay into the shipping because of either my WiFi or my printer, so have set shipping cost as close as possible to what it ends up costing me (which lately I have not been able to use shipping labels due to these issues). *SHIPPING: All items are shipped extra protected to assure its safety upon arrival. Cards are shipped in either top loaders or magnetic cases with resealable bags, with the exception of some commons, but I am usually still able to ship commons in a card saver type softer case. All cards of course include the standard soft sleeves on them, as well as commons, and soft sleeve is also placed in front of the card if in a magnetic case. The only time commons may not have a soft sleeve is if it’s a big set, or a lot. Same with any Magic the Gathering commons not worth much, which I currently do not have much left of the Magic cards. I highly doubt that anyone would be disappointed of how the cards are protected when they receive their cards! I try to ship all items as soon as possible, the following Monday after weekends or the next available day to ship after holidays. Please ask before purchase if you need an item shipped any faster than the shipping that is chosen for that particular item. Due to my location, it may be one day behind is my only concern if a card will actually for sure make it there on that certain day needed. Express priority mail would probably only be one day faster than priority mail, is what I was told by the postmaster at my post office, due to our location. Plus a huge difference in price, just so you are aware. I am not currently set up for PayPal, Cash App etc., so I would have to configure the amount in before payment and do apologize for any inconvenience. But I have been able to after payment by buyer purchasing an envelope for the amount of that shipping service needed. Mail does travel much faster than it did not even very long ago however, so that is definitely a huge bonus. *PICTURES & DESCRIPTIONS: I usually take several pictures of a card from as many angles as the maximum 24 pictures will allow me to do. I always try to put the most important pictures and angles in that 24 picture max if I have exceeded how many I would like to have of that particular card. I’ve come along way with pictures and have figured that part out much better since I’ve started selling. I try to get pictures as clear & close as possible so that all detail can be shown in at least one of the pics for that particular card or cards. I am NOT a professional grader, which I state I many listings already, but just want to make that very clear that these are my opinions when it comes to descriptions. There may be times where I have overlooked and am simply unaware of something, or I didn’t think that something should affect the overall condition for it to qualify in a particular category I have put it under. I ALWAYS try as much as I possibly can to point out something or to take a closer pic of what I am seeing that stands out to me. I’m pretty sure I am over nit picky when it comes to this, but I do prefer to be on the safe side. I have had questions of why I have had certain listings marked “Excellent” as opposed to “Near Mint or Better”, and my reason for it was a bit of an over reaction of the condition to them, under valuing it. At the same time, I also don’t want to chase people away and have them think that the card is worse than it actually is because I’m trying to be on the safe side about it too much. So again, these are my opinions, not necessarily facts, and I strongly advise to take advantage of the many pictures that I am usually able to provide to see for yourself. I want it to be as if you’re in person with the card from the pictures, as well as the description. I’m pretty sure often from some of my pictures that it may be even better than having it in front of you in person, since the camera can often catch many things that the eye cannot. I don’t know how many times that I’ve taken pictures of a card to list on here and it’s only then that I notice something about it, and many of those times I’ve had the card for years even and had never noticed something. I’m sure this doesn’t need to be said, but when I have more than one card, item specifics filled out are for either the most valuable, or most popular card out of all of the ones in that listing. If I put several names under player, teams, or autographed by that player, I put all the names of the players in the listing (sometimes their teams) & if there is an autograph by player in that listing. I do this just so that it can be found easier when searching, or else that player, or an autographed card of a player, could only be found by chance in that listing if I didn’t have the player’s name in the system for that listing. But everything is listed in detail as well as pictured very organized for all to see. I definitely know how it is since I’m a big card shopper myself, so I spend a lot of time & effort into my listings to make it easier & more enjoyable for all when card hunting! *EXTRAS: I’m only mentioning this due to high volume of questions and comments about this topic in particular. I understand cards may have gone for a certain amount on an auction at a certain time, but when I set my prices for cards I’ve tried to go lower if I can than the rest I see out there for the “Buy it Now/Best Offer” (with condition considered on some particular cards at times). If it seems that a particular card is priced high, it’s either because that was roughly the price of it at that time when I listed it that it seemed to be going for, or because I may be planning to grade the card because it looks to me like a possible high PSA grade and just figured I’d list it first at a price that I would be willing to part from it before sending it in for grading. But I am NOT a professional grader. There are only a few cards listed like that though, so this mainly applies to those few cards. There are also those cards that are so rare that I cannot find a price, so I try to estimate the value as close as I can to my knowledge of what makes the most sense of what it’s worth. I have undercut myself in the past by starting the sale too low, at times way too low, so that is why I at times will change price so much on a particular card. I’ve ran into this situation a lot because I do love rarity! I do try to go as low as possible though, and I’ve even taken several losses from what I paid on some cards, but that’s all a part of the fun of collecting I suppose, lol. I personally find cards & memorabilia collecting to be a safer bet than any casino or poker table, and much more exciting & fun! *Due to these fluctuations of card prices is also why all sales are final & no returns. I’ve seen cards well over triple in value after only one sporting event, and also go the other way.* *Sorry, but I do NOT typically break down card listings if there’s more than one and you’re interested in just the one. If I don’t reply to it asked, then it’s probably that, and I’m definitely not trying to be rude or anything! It just takes a very long time to set up some of these listings, and if I take one card out I’d have to redo pictures and everything & I don’t have that time.* *I have a great variety currently listed with many more to come, so please check everything out!* *CARD SALES TO EXPECT: I have been collecting for a very long time now, (since the late 80s/early 90s & then picked the hobby back up a little around 2007-09 after a decade break or so, but went all-in just a few years ago in 2021-22) and I love rookies of Panini: Prizm, Optic, Select, Mosaic, National Treasures and so on. I love the Prizm Refractor versions and low serial numbered, as well as jersey matches, short prints, variations, autographs, jersey patches, etc. & Topps & Bowman for MLB mainly. I mainly collect NFL & NBA, but definitely have lots of MLB & some NHL, as well as other stuff. So there will be lots more of all of that listed throughout the months to come. *I am usually able to answer any questions relatively quick, but due to my location we do not have cell service in town here & we do lose WiFi a little more often than many other places. This is due to the weather at times, being in the mountains on Lake Superior, or during tourist seasons because of the high volume of WiFi users. We’ve always been a little behind on technology up here, but it’s definitely come a very long way for us and is more often than not just fine. During peak tourist season, July & August, are usually the only times where I may not be able to answer questions as fast because of the increase in my work schedule during those months, but I will always get back to messages as soon as I possibly can and I still try replying within 24 hours during those times. I do get a lot of emails & messages sent from eBay because I buy a lot of cards on here, so I apologize if I have missed any messages as well. Definitely still feel free to message me though if there are any questions, I hope I have covered some of them already right here! Happy card hunting! 🤩 Thanks for reading fellow collectors!
