I need some help...

Hey all,

I've been on & off these last couple of weeks as my family life has taken a serious turn. My Father-In-Law has been diagnosed with prostate cancer and between the stress it has put on my wife and the need to keep the house stable in this time of great instability for her I haven't been a steady visitor or contributor.

We knew he has been sick a while, but his stubborn demeanor has only allowed for a recent diagnosis. Since this began I've let some things slip here and there: between not following up on the MLC tourney I tried to coordinate, to letting a few online trades sit around longer than they should have.

Case in point: a trade with Derrik from Poland has literally been sitting on the living room table for weeks. He was the first to know about the turmoil and has been gracious in waiting. I thank you for that good sir.

Secondly, in an effort to get my wife to Florida sooner than later, Ive been working some nights off the books. Our budget is tight and every penny counts.

That brings me to the reason I'm on here today. I would like to sell my Peter Parker to someone here as opposed to just putting it up on ebay.

It may sound silly, but I want it in good hands. The last one I sold went for $150, but given the circumstances and the fact that Im sure everyone has felt the recent economic crunch I'm asking $100 for it.

Thanks in advance guys,

CC

PS: This is also why the purchase on my new laptop has stalled. Once Ive gotten us past this hurdle, I'll be battling side-by-side with all of you in DC Universe in no time.

That's terrible news Cuba. We'll keep you in our prayers dude.

Also, you might want to clarify for those that maybe haven't been around from the beginning. Is the Peter Parker you're referring to the one that only Upper Deck Staff got a copy of?

As for the card itself, one lucky member is going to be happy I don't have a $100 on tap to buy this card because I'd give you $100 in a heart beat for it.
Also out of curiosity Cuba, do you have both cards? If not its cool but a lot of people don't realize that it is a two piece card. If you are offering both for $100 it indeed is an awesome deal!!

Well I just got an email and things have dramatically changed.

Im posting this so that no one thinks Im trying to get over on them.

Dave & Adams has about 36!!! Peter Parkers for sale at $30.00.

The description is vague so Im not sure if they are selling the actual card or the artwork/inscribed card that came in the display case with it.

If its both I have to believe that UDE is funneling their left overs to D&A's. Aside from the 8 Ive seen in person (my 4 & 4 my buddy had and lost) Ive never seen them anywhere. So the fact that they are flooded with these can only mean UDE is cleaning house.

I'm gonna hold on to mine now. If it turns out that they are selling just the artwork card, then I'll put mine back here.

Thanks for all the support guys, I truly appreciate it.
