I had the itch and bought 14 sealed 1986 Donruss Highlights sets over the weekend for $10 hoping to land a white letter error.
So, speaking of it, does anyone know EXACTLY how the WL errors were distributed? Meaning if one card was a WL, was the entire set filled with them too? Or was it just a...
Does anyone here invest in current veterans or 2nd/3rd/4th yr guys?
For the first time last off season, I pretty much threw myself into the above (while still buying true prospects) with some nice results.
1. Scherzer: only went for 2008 SPX
2. Brandon Morrow: didnt pick up anything grand but...
I often wonder if FCB really stands for "Fracking Cry Babies" as theres so much un warranted bitching here.
This has all....ALL...the makings of a great product. Yet people HAVE to bitch and nit pick everything.
If the cards look like ITG, peoiple bitch that we want shiny cards. If its made...
Hopefully Manny, Dellin or anyone with a prospect pulse gets called up in September, does well and makes the post season roster thereby kicking AJ to the curb.
Included in a massive purchase at the East Coast National, I found the above.
None on ebay, cant find much info on line either. Seems to be many other proofs except 1976.
Also, does anyone have a beckett price for the set? thanks
Picked up a massive lot of stuff and was wondering if anything in this pic is "rare" or pricey? The 1988 Disc does have his team and league listed on the back.
Also, was that red disc ever corrected and is it from 1984?
Someone else here gave the report that there is no shortage of discount boxes. That is SO true.
Good amouint of $15-$30 bv star inserts for less than a can of coke.
Some of the craziest finds from the show first 2 days:
1998 Retro Alomar Quantum Leap 13/50.....THIRTY THREE CENTS
Afficianado McGwire First Pitch Preview......FIFTY CENTS
1993 Finest Cal, 1998 CC Juan Gone 4 star GOLD Superstar Domain (I think, help me out JG collectors please), 2000 Black...
Two ways to look at it:
1. Obviously its real, who would fake Terrance Long?
or
2. Take a worthless card, "fancy" it up and turn it into a $10-$15 sale because no one would suspect it on THAT player.
I know the answer for sure, just wondering what you all think.
So I just got home from spending four days at the National. Heres some of the most instering stuff I got.
SEVEN 1993 Stadium Club Team Chipper autos w/ Treat coa's....$5 each
Cobb, Gray, Asbrubal (first auto) were $5 each or less. The Tolliver (remember his sister posted on FCB?) and James...
Ill GLADLY take a second card of a top guy like Banuelos instead of some scrub 23 yr old taking up space in A ball.
Is ANOTHER Harper Bow Best card overkill? Obviously, but again, would MUCH rather have him than anyone else. Heck, Id be all for a "Life of Harper" 25 card insert set showcasing...
from 9-2 off exit 30 on I95 at the Ramada
Always nice pick ups to be had, especially from that dealer who sets up with a THOUSAND $1 cards ranging from 90's inserts to autos to Refractors to Heritage SP's and rcs.
Anyone here going?
Backs have your basic write ups.
The cards "feel" great, thick. Add in the holo and refractor shine plus the die cut and its a really sweet card.
Totally "90s" Fleer insert feel to them.
I rarely understand anything YOU post. Why would you put a "?" at the end of your statement when its not a question?
Its pretty easy if you know english, but Ill break it down.
My post was that eventhough its a card featuring corey patterson (mega bust) AND its game used, it sold for a HUGE...
Last year, people brought up the idea of boycotting Topps products and not ordering them, well this is what happens.
Dancing/Dairy/Gypsy Queen was basically boycotted, a collective "WE DONT WANT ANYMORE RETRO CRAP" from dealers and dist. and no one....NO ONE....pre ordered it. Now its insane...
Topps sent the above two players out to Hobby stores (1 set per).
The card numbers are 151 and 152 and are exclusive to the stores.
They are thick and have a kind of holographic shine to them on the diamond.
Theres also a film on them, like Finest from the 90s.
