April 2024 Arrivals
Another big pickup for me: 1998 Circa Thunder Rave 118/150 Rickey Henderson. This completes not only the 1998 team set, but the entire 4-year run of Rave/150 parallels 1996-1999. Raves were the first serial numbered parallel set when they were introduced in 1996 (though not the first...- Dilferules

April 2024 Arrivals
I have a few Aqueous cards (PSA graded and ungraded) and I really can't tell any difference between them and the regular cards aside from the "AQUEOUS TEST" on the back. I wouldn't use a different feel as evidence unless you have a ton of experience handling legit Aqueous cards, since it might...- Dilferules

April 2024 Arrivals
An early 10th anniversary gift from my wife since we will be out of town on the actual date and it's probably best not to pack this across the country and back: T205 Gold Border Eddie Collins "Mouth Open" variation completes the 13-card team set. That goes nicely with my T206 team set (minus...- Dilferules

Dilferules's 1988-present Oakland A's autograph thread
One more debut over the last dozen days with Max Schuemann, plus I received another in the mail. Tyler Nevin - Doing pretty well so far, hitting .303. Max Schuemann - Courtesy of @RNCoyote , utility player has no hits in 5 at bats so far, but has scored 2 runs. That brings me up to 778/782...- Dilferules

April 2024 Arrivals
Have a big pile of stuff from the last few weeks, here's the highlights... The big hitters. 1998 Stadium Club First Day Issue Jose Canseco 018/200 - these are of course much tougher than you'd expect a /200 card to be. 2017 Topps Update Black Matt Chapman RC 25/66 - gets my 2017 needs down...- Dilferules

Dilferules's 1988-present Oakland A's autograph thread
A couple of reliever pickups, but I'm also down another one with the debut of Tyler Nevin (got something on the way for him). Michael Kelly - So so in 4 appearances so far. Mitch Spence - Rule 5 pickup has been okay through 2 appearances. Now at 776/781 for 1988-present and 955/1,088 for the...- Dilferules

April 2024 Arrivals
2005 Topps Turkey Red Gold Steven Bondurant 44/50 brings me within 3 of completing the team set. 2022 Topps Pro Debut Chrome Gold Refractor Max Muncy 26/50 finishes all A's minor leaguers from the set. 2007 Sweet Spot Classic Gus Zernial 207/575 is one I missed up until a year or two ago...- Dilferules

Dilferules's 1988-present Oakland A's autograph thread
Seems like a good end point for this project at the end of this season since they'll no longer be the "Oakland" A's. I'll keep trying to finish up all the Oakland players; for Sacramento and Vegas I'll try for any guys that actually establish themselves on the team but won't worry about...- Dilferules

Dilferules's 1988-present Oakland A's autograph thread
The expected 0-3 start for the A's, with all 5 of the remaining new guys getting into games now. In addition to the 3 below, I have reliever Mitch Spence on the way, however fellow reliever Austin Adams is nowhere to be found...there's a DIFFERENT Austin Adams that's easy, but the A's guy...- Dilferules

March 2024 Arrivals
One that's familiar to the message board...2015 Bowman paper prospect auto Gray? Platinum? Black? 1/1 Chris Jensen courtesy of @UMich92 - thanks! I have to be on the lookout for the Red/5 at a fair price to complete the rainbow. 2020 Bowman Chrome Prospect Autograph Refractor/499 Robert...- Dilferules

Dilferules's 1988-present Oakland A's autograph thread
Opening day yesterday brought 4 new A's. I've already picked up 3 of them and have the 4th (reliever Michael Kelly) on the way. TJ McFarland was also a pickup that played last night but I already had him from his prior A's stint in 2020. JD Davis - Late pickup to start at third base after he...- Dilferules

March 2024 Arrivals
Another 2024 '89 auto. 2016 Topps Vintage Mark Canha 15/99 gets me within 5 of completing the team set. Somebody put a bunch of signed '88 Topps cards up on eBay recently and I was able to grab Jeff Dedmon and Mark Clear, the last two "common" autographs I needed. Neither guy is an...- Dilferules

March 2024 Arrivals
2003 Topps Tribute World Series Gold/100 is one of those randomly popular sets that goes for a little more than you think it would. Glad to get the Reggie, though I'm still 4 short of a team set. The Tyler Soderstrom Refractor auto was a $100+ card not very long ago, but he kind of crapped his...- Dilferules

Roberto Alomar Collector's Thread
Eric Chavez was in that set but I only have the two smaller relics, not the big huge bat /50 (he also has an auto version of that one /50). Great cards. I do have this one from 2002:- Dilferules

Somewhat Embarrassing Find - A's 1/1
That one might be too embarrassing even for me! ha. Of course I do own the base, Silver/499, Purple/250, Blue/150, Green/99, and Gold/50 versions just because. But not the Red/5, that would just be silly. TCDB does not list a 1/1 parallel but Beckett does list a Black 1/1...looks more gray...- Dilferules
