Well, this was unexpected, by a LOT
So, being a Fryman collector, I still scour for 1/1's and weird items, but have completed my collecting goals otherwise. But I will put an eyeball on rarer items to see what they fetch nowadays. I realize the market is different and certain things have gone...
Holy ****! So, I have that card - pretty sure I have the jersey numbered version to boot. Like, I would never part with it, but honestly - what is it now, like a grand?!? *BONKERS* I also have the other year of those, with the black border auto/25.
Also - is your wantlist completely listed? I noticed a few cards in my collection from oddball/team sets that I have of Trammell that I didn't see listed or posted in your inventory. I didn't know how thorough you were searching for 90's issues or earlier.

Awesome!! I look forward to scanning over your site to see all of these wonderful cards I'm going to be drooling over! Trammell was my favorite player as I first learned about baseball growing up. :) Then Travis Fryman became my all-time favorite as he took over for Alan in the early 90's...
Thank you for the responses - especially mrmopar for noting the stat differences. I had not dug out my cards to even look at that! Great info - that's why I ask. :)
The only guy I collect, Travis Fryman - had an oddball item come up in searches recently I had not seen before. Noticed the seller had other players as well...
I own so many copies of this card. I've probably (not purposefully) prevented some people from finishing this set....
97 Bowman Chrome International Refractor
Same with me. I picked up the other 3 for the price this alone would cost me. No thanks. I talked with the seller on the phone last year and the prices he wants for this and other Select prototypes/proofs are way beyond my reach, so he can just keep 'em! I know what the market is for my...
Good on you Tanner for seeing the light at the end of the tunnel! I very heavily collected a football player for over 15 years and decided to sell off my collection last year. Best decision I made! I didn't get the return on my bucks that I had put in, but I knew that would happen and I was...
I dumped the majority of my football collection late last year and couldn't be happier for it. Like you said, there was too much coming out every other week to keep up. What's more absurd is that the guys I collect are retired! Yet they still were getting a bajillion cards made. And not...
Regarding some of the 98 Pinnacle auctions... if these 2 bidders were so interested in these cards they are driving the prices up on, why haven't they scooped up the available and much lower priced cards from the same sets that another individual seller has for sale? Just my thoughts.
