Race to Thanksgiving 1989 Topps Project>>>>>>

[Lancemountain]

Ill shoot him another PM and if he doesn't respond tonight then we'll start without him

 

[goldenegg1]

Do you still have my address from the last round?

 

[Lancemountain]

missed diesel and mansgame, I'll send PM's later tonight for address and such

 

[BenG76]

I am excited to get into this. I will post my cards as soon as they arrive. I have been itching to send some TTM's as of late. I have another small project I am thinking of starting as well but was waiting for this in case I have more than one card of the players I am looking at sending something to.

[MENTION=3275]Lancemountain[/MENTION] - Just curious while I wait for the Ames to begin... Why packs from 1989? Do you suspect it'll be more challenging because its aged cards/players, etc? Or easier?

I'm excited. Thanks for including me.

Looking for Albert Belle cards! PM me!

 

[Lancemountain]

All packed and ready to roll.

Picked 1989 randomly...almost everyone is still alive, no one is old other than managers and high percentage of free signers.

I just hope that I don't pull guys that want you to pay too much for them to sign. I bought the Harvey list again this year and I have been getting a good bit of email updates of people that are charging and you have to send it to someone that manages the mail for them. I was surprised at some of the people that are charging $15 or more to sign a card.

I hope you are right about the free signers.

So many packs, just skip the chargers

Yea, I guess you are right. I don't really mind paying $5 or so, but some of these guys charging what they do gets to me sometimes.

This.

This is suppose to be fun. Do what you can IMO.

Thank you again to Lance for putting this together and supplying the packs. It was definitely a trip down memory lane busting these things open yesterday.

Here are my scans. First batch will be heading out tomorrow. Good luck everyone!

[MrMet]

I'm also considering sending in for my High quality puffy-lettered sweatshirts, tshirts and official Topps sports card collectors' sheets

[Lancemountain]

So i broke all the cards down and seperated them in piles. Looking at ~20 quick signers, seven unreliable signers but with somewhat recent successes, three dead guys and everyone else has little to no successes.

Three HOF guys that charge

 

[muskiesfan]

I have 36 that have little to no success, 1 checklist, 1 incarcerated, 3 dead, 3 HOFers, and 3 chargers.

Then I have 15 that are 50/50 at best, but do have somewhat recent successes, and then 27 that I think I have a good chance at getting to sign. It's going to be fun!

What is the rule with a checklist?
