Another Juan collector has 275 1/1's I can not afford to keep up with that. In 2017 alone Juan has 76 1/1's Thanks Topps::facepalm::::facepalm::::facepalm::

275. That is insane. But more power to him.
There's an Alomar collector out there, who I can't seem to engage, that is obsessed with all the high end modern stuff. He wins quite a few such auctions on ebay. I'm perfectly content to stay out of the fray on those, having neither the desire or deep pockets to compete. I go for mostly playing career cards, with emphasis on the weird stuff, so it's not too often that we end up going head to head. For me that's a nice, happy accident of an arrangement.
I have also heard of a major collector in Puerto Rico, who doesn't seem to have an online presence at all. Those are the only other two super collectors that I've run across.
It's a double edged sword. Sometimes I wish there was a bigger community of Alomar collectors, like with Gonzalez or McGwire. At least I'd have someone to trade with now and then. But then there would be more competition for cards I covet. So it goes.
Only two???
I seem to run into both of you (you and the high end ebayer) on occasion since I primarily dabble in autographed cards.
Moar pickupps!
A card I never knew existed until last week, when I was trawling tradingcarddb.com and saw it.
I love unredeemed redemption cards that feature a player image. I agree that most will be redeemed, so finding an unredeemed copy can be more difficult. I have gone so far as to keep copies of garvey redemption cards that are still active, but no days, when they do appear, they are expensive in their own right. I have not been able to keep one unredeemed since Fleer GOTG Auto.
Want to post any of those Garvey redemptions? Curious to see them.
Just got a few card display holders in the mail. I am putting them up in the dining room, so I can see the shininess every time I walk by. Planning to rotate these cards as the mood suits me. Here's what's on display today - the starting 9!

I couldn't find all the scans at the moment, but here are most.

The 5 GOTG redemptions were right before the bankruptcy. I can't remember now, but I either sent in all my unique redemptions and kept dupes or hopefully, I sent in my dupes and kept the unique ones. None of them were ever released, so the redemptions I have are all that remain for this issue.
Nice Crusade! but where are its big brothers?
I'm remembering that some protos didn't have a purp/red? Or was that just a rumor... who knows whats really out there.
That's a sweet setup, what's the one back center? 98 ultra platinum or is it something really cool I don't even know about?
Aha! Well, you see the one in the pic is the unreleased prototype! I've only ever seen the green, never a red or purple.
