No view = no thrill
I can honestly say that I checked ebay for Manny Ramirez card listings on at least 99% of days for a solid 15 years...so this is new territory for me. I would occasionally miss a BIN that was listed too cheap, but even that was pretty rare. Over the past year or so I have...
Great job with the info and pictures!
Here's Manny Ramirez #147 CTA unreleased. I've got 9 total crusade cards for Manny: pack issued, executive prrof XX/#, and these unreleased CTA. I have it in the back of my mind that there may be a 4th version, that being the regular pack issued version...
I think "Silver Foil variation" is another way of saying "regular artist proof." In all seriousness, I think it was the guy with the Thomas rainbow foil one above was calling the regular one the silver foil variation. Which, in effect it was. But only next to the rare rainbow foil version.
It's some dolt that doesn't check this thread often enough any more or have enough time for cards lately! What do you wanna see? Aside from what Pinnacle man has, I have most other things ;)

Interesting article, especially in light of all the whining and posturing by major leaguers this off-season. I vaguely recall that minor league players were way underpaid. But this is pretty ridiculous. I'd...
It's a.... headache for player collectors! ;) JK, that is pretty neat. Never seen one before. It looks like it is set up a little different, like they didn't leave enough room at the top for the serial numbering. It looks like the "Metal Works" text is higher than on the pack versions. The...
I was really excited to land a 2011 A&G wood mini 1/1 Manny Ramirez- my first one! I got it in, and I had the same reaction you did. Is this a fake? It's smooth! It looked like somebody scanned a copy of a legit insert card actually made of wood (y'know, like from the 90's?) scanned it, and...
Holy heck! That is a run of cards for sure. I don't recall seeing any of the Power Tools executive proofs of anybody before? Although, with the amount of execs that have come out lately it is getting hard to keep track. The 98 selects and the certified run look fantastic.
