Mr. Tiger's Early Years
About a week ago there were two McAuliffs. One went for the 35k BIN but the other had no BIN and so I bided my time to snipe at the last second. Considering I only had 28K at the time, I felt that sniping was my only chance. So of course, that second McAuliff went for my highest bid + 1.
Tonight, idly checking the AH before going turning in, my gehringer|crawford|cobb|hiller|mcauliff search team yielded a McAuliff at 30K with a BIN of 40K. I had just pulled a Gold Live Zach Wheeler a day ago (from a tourney pack no less) so I sold him to get me just over 40K. Then, with only the slightest hesitation (okay a bit more than the slightest because is McAuliff even usable?!?), I bought McAuliff and thus finally unlock Perfect Norm cash for the Wey-Yu Xenomorphs.
But boy did I pay for that guy:
0037 : Tom Morgan (10/28/19, first card)
0475 : Jim Bunning
0556 : Ray Boone
0450 : Frank Lary
0500 : Don Mossi
0299 : Charlie Maxwell
0000 : Harvey Kuenn (pulled)
5109 : Al Kaline
3000 : Al Kaline
4000 : Hank Aguirre
52000 : Rocky Colavito
40000 : Dick McAuliffe (12/18/19, last card acquired)
TOTAL : 106426
So of course Perfect Norm Cash's current last L7 is under 100K!
Colavito was another instance of just buying it as soon as one came up in the AH while I had the $. Like McAuliff, once I started looking for him he only came up once or twice a week.
