I picked this one up and am not sure how rare it is. I can't seem to find Vizcaino's name on the checklist, but I think this may be a 1/1. I think the silver reflections were /5 and the golds were 1/1s. Can anyone confirm this?
Thanks for the help!
Spring training has arrived so it's time to finally get caught up with scanning and get excited for baseball!
I've branched out a bit in the last 6 months of collecting. There aren't too many Zambranos I need, so I've had to focus on some other players to keep me occupied.
My Zambrano win...
I was looking through completed listings and realized ebayer budsmoon stole my scan to scam someone out of $2350. I honestly feel terrible about it and contacted the buyer. I just wanted to give you guys the heads up and set the record straight in case anyone thought I was trying to rip anyone...
I know it's still a little early, but I saw the 2013 goals thread, so I figured it would be good to go back and look at last year's goals.
Here's last year's thread:

As for my goals, I didn't do...
I was thinking about getting some stuff graded and was wondering what the absolute cheapest deal was with 45 day grading. I know FCB has some great deals with 10 day and 20 day grading, but are there any 45 day deals anywhere?
I finally got around to doing some scanning and pictures. Here are some pickups from the last 6 months or so.
A few Z cards:
Finally found a auto I need. Wondering if these were backdoored since I never saw one for 3 years and then 2 were listed within a week.
Maybe my favorite printing...
First off sorry for the massive pictures.
I went to spring training this year and am really in the baseball mood so I figured I would post some pics and pickups :)
A few spring training pictures:
Starlin
Darwin Barney
Brett Jackson (Was really impressed with him)
Swinging Rizzo's...
I havn't had too much to buy lately as Zambrano hasn't been in too many sets, and I have had a hard time finding any cards, but I have had some pickups I like.
Just some random pickups
Bought 2 of the /5s thinking I didn't have one when I bought the 2nd copy :lol: I now have 183/233 of...
I have been trying to get this card since its release. I got 2nd last time it was up for auction and couldn't let it pass me up again! I still need a red for the rainbow.
Some of his friends:
I need to work on posting some other pickups I've gotten :)
Thanks for looking!
Not too many new pickups, but I did get these in recently.
/5
2006 Carlos Zambrano game used alternate jersey (one of the years Z only pitched in the alternate jerseys)
I was really happy to get this one. I have been looking for a 06 jersey for a while and was lucky enough to have a collector...
I saw this auction in the completed listings. If anyone here won the card please let me know. I know it is a shot in the dark, but the last time I posted one of these threads, I was able to land the card. Thanks!

I think that it is a good way of expanding the playoffs, while still keeping it hard to make the playoffs. Still, I have to imagine it is going to be really hard for a wild card team to win a World Series. If they have to win the 1st round...
