    panini redemptions

    I've never bought a redemption card before '15 so I'm not really sure what to expect. I submitted my first one for Panini in August of 2015 and a few more between August and Feb. I still haven't received anything on any of them. All are still "initial request". Is this typical? Should I be...

    Two major milestones!

    Milestones are becoming something that is fewer and further between so to have one is a big deal, let alone two in the same week. Two subsets of McGwire I have been hunting since '98/'99 each hit a major milestone. 1st off the tweener. I'm officially half way through (45 patterns) the 1998 tek...

    Frustrating variation stories?

    I finally nailed down a variation I've been hunting for years. It's worth about $0.50-$1.00 but took me almost 2 decades to find. The 1988 Bazooka. There are a total of four variations of this: Single Star in the copyright line, gray stock. Two Star in the copyright line, gray stock. Single...

    2016 Topps Jumbo

    Alright, I haven't opened a box of cards since the 80's and I need a break from work. I went with Topps Jumbo for the potential added bonus of possibly pulling a McGwire buyback. I don't know anything about this product aside from the fact it says 2 relics and 1 auto per box. This is just for...

    2015 red orbit variants?

    Maybe I just missed the boat on the info on these, but am I the only one that wasn't aware there are two red orbit patterns (like the black)? Does this mean there are two red orbit autos as well? (sorry bout the scans I don't have them in hand yet)

    WTB 2014 Mark McGwire Tek B&W Auto Proof /1 (last card for the rainbow!!)

    I went after the 2014 entire tek rainbow. I'm only one short, the B&W Proof AU /1. Please keep your eyes peeled! Also if you have a buyback I do not have, I'm looking to add all of the unique buybacks to the collection as well but there is no way to know how many (if anymore) even exist.

    Shipping suggestion when using tape...

    If you are going to tape the mouth of a topholder shut with tape to prevent the card from coming out, or to tape a note to the top loader, please make sure you flip the card in the penny sleeve so if the card hits the tape during shipping, the card itself does not touch the tape, but the penny...

    Bane50 is what the hobby is all about

    Yessir, that's the truth! As many of you know I've been hunting down the near impossible task of completing the entire 2014 Tek Rainbow of McGwire. I had success up until the base charcoal and magenta proof auto's surfaced and I wasn't near a computer to grab them. Well turns out my fellow Mac...

    2015 prizm variant for red white & blue

    Excuse this post if someone else has already pointed this out. I'm not around much these days so don't know what has already been covered. I was going through the full list of mcgwire auctions for the first time ages and noticed a variant people might be interested in for red white & blue...

    Huddy to SF

    http://espn.go.com/mlb/story/_/id/9997202/san-francisco-giants-closing-deal-tim-hudson Next logical step - convince Mulder to come out of retirement and the big three will be back together in the bay area!

    FS Random lot of cards sitting on my desk (burris x-fractor auto, griffey, avila, harper)

    Don't know pricing, nor do I care to look. I just know they are collecting dust so they need to go to a new home. I still have no idea where I got the harper or griffey refractor from. $10 shipped if anybody wants it.

    FS Breaking up my 2007 Bowman Draft x-fractor autos, patches, gu base and gu jerseys

    After completing my 2006 master draft collection I decided to try it again in '07. I didn't get too far in when I got distracted by a mcgwire collector selling off his collection and never resumed. I decided I'm not going to try and complete the master set because I don't have the time to invest...

    Feelin' the love, feelin' the "be8e"love

    So there was this card that didn't even exist on the McGwire masterlist, I hear a rumor of it's existance so I start asking around my normal channels and come up with diddly. Then Nelson smacks with some photo proof of the card so my response is the obvious: "That's dead sexy" So I continue...

    Heath Bell to SF (waivers)?

    Not sure what to think of this. Wilson done for the year? Just blocking Arizona? Curious who closes in SD (Gregerson or Qualls)

    Worley/Blanton

    What's happening to Worley with Blanton slotted to come back on Monday? Is Worley going to slide in as the fifth or be shipped back down to AAA? He pitched so well the last two starts, I don't see how they should want to keep him out.

    1988 vs 1989 tara plaques

    I've been tracking this down for years and have gotten nowhere. I've been told there are a few ways to verify these: 1) Ron Darling is listed on the back of the 1988 but not 1989 checklist for the Mets 2) Benny Santiago's first name is spelled either Benny or Benito 3) Cal Ripken Jr. has the...

    Singletary made the right move starting Alex Smith

    Having Alex at the helm will give the niners a better chance at a higher draft slot. My worst fear was that the niners would make the playoffs and kill a good draft pick. Looks like they sealed the deal tonight. Go team!
