That sounds about right - I have to update my old spreadsheet as I don't collect certain cards (don't count anything that pictures him with other players, and have been ignoring the Archives buyback autographs), so I expect my total might be closer to 2,000. And who knows how many of those are...
I remember hoping to join this club one day when this thread was made back in the day - little did I know Brandon Webb would never pitch again, which obviously cratered production of his cards after 2009/2010. I think he has somewhere between 1,500 and 2,000 cards, so can't imagine a situation I...
My general rule is no to Signature Archives, with the exception for me being, as others have mentioned, more obscure players in D-backs uniforms who have no other certified autographs. Have picked up Orlando/Livan Hernandez cards this way.
Otherwise, not even interested in the glut of Brandon...
1. Complete my Diamondbacks collection website (mid/higher-end stuff)
2. Begin work on my D-backs base card project website - I am attempting to catalogue all D-backs base ever created, and seeing how deep I can get into completing the full run from 1998-present. Can't imagine I'll ever actually...
A rare (both the card itself and finding anything new for my collection) Brandon Webb pickup - up to 1,079 unique and around 78% of his rookie year print run.
I said I was going to stop spending money but I made some mistakes. But two huge must haves off my want list of the last 20 years - a Luis Gonzalez Logoman, and a White Framed X-Fractor.
And figured if I was going to pursue the complete Topps Black team sets, may as well get the big $$$ one out...
That's awesome! I can relate as someone who still actively collects a player from around the same era. Even if you can only find a handful of pickups a year, the thrill is still the same.
Thanks! I wish they had kept the hand numbering on the front rather than the back but whatcha gonna do.
A few more random pickups of non-current players now that I have a working scanner again.
A couple higher-end relics:
The Peralta completes his rookie year Superfractors (there were only...
I was going to take it a bit slower as the summer started, but darn it if this isn't the most exciting D-backs team in years and I've been swept up.
A few current player pickups recently:
Nah there is, just hadn't gotten around to scanning it and was too excited to wait haha. In fact I think I saw quite a few complaints over on Blowout about how prevalent he was in this product.
Still loving 2022 Sapphire - definitely picking up all I can/would at least like to complete the team Gold rainbow...anything more is probably too ambitious.
Not usually big on prospects and paying $ for unproven players, but was a blast watching the young guys last year so why not.
