Hey guys; not done collecting, or any thing of the sort. Simply decided I no longer wished to go with a static collection. Never thought I'd lose my never-sell-anything state-of-mind with my cards - especially my 1/1s/superfractors - but here I am. Don't need the money, or anything financially...
Got a great new pickup to show off, so I figured I'd do the honors of this week's pickup thread. Show'em!
Francis, our ace? Yep...

Out of the spotlight; a perfect time for this to come up. Always wanted this one, if not the Matzek.
Superfractor 1/1
I was going to do it for Edwar's call-up, but he stunk-eth. Figured tonight would be perfect with such a fantastic outing in his AAA debut. Troy came up to me a few weeks ago; he let me know he'd like me to have a certain 1/1. He didn't say whom, so it added to the excitement. There was a...
Hey guys - I really just stick to the pick-up threads; but I like to make one for my PC milestones. The last one was for getting to 20 different superfractors - that was 2 years ago! So, I'm definitely going fast. Hm, unfortunately I'm going to start slowing down now; and simply picking up...
It's official guys! Friedrich gets a call to the bigs; and White get resent up! Show'em if you got'em.

Didn't want to say anything until I had it on-hand, even though somebody found out it was me. Just at the right time, I suppose. That huge line across his bill is from the old magnetic holder; and every other wacky line. Enjoy.
Of course, I don't collect him; and he deserves a better...

The autographed version doesn't suffer from being a 3rd-year prospect card; but this one ought to sell for considerably less than even the '09 base superfractor, no? This one will be interesting to watch on that proposition alone.
Just thought I'd let anyone know. I believe it works with any item that is a BIN.
CUKFB1
FYI - only works first 50K times.
Add.: the deal is now dead , gents. :oops:
Didn't see one through the first three pages. Let's get some Draft pick-ups, soon.
A personal no-name ex-MiLBer of mine; plus with an '05 card to boot.
Red-Refractor /5
I personally like this second-year card over his draft, but I wish they got it right. I think I have to inform the...
I was going over my watch list, and saw that this had ended.

It's a 9.5, but that is still pretty insane. A new high for any Nolan Arenado card, if it is legitimate.

Not sure it was listed prior to this, but I'm sure if it had, it will not get close to what it might get this time around.
Tom Field isn't getting it done, so some more back-up has been brought up regarding Tulo's hip.
This is awesome!

For some odd reason, the last thread ends mid-week. We'll straighten that up by eating up this week.
Show'em off.
I got outbid on this card; luckily the buyer is an eBay prospector. I ended up purchasing it for a bit less than what it went for - off-eBay deal; a great guy, too...
The auction just crossed my mind, but I really wanted this card. I'll pay someone fifteen, gift (or whatever) if anyone here snagged it.

It's almost time to expand team rosters. Who are your notables; who do you wish would get the call?

Here's my list , from most probable to least:
Triple-A - Veterans
Ryan Spilborghs
Ian Stewart
Chris Nelson
Greg Reynolds
Willy Taveras*
Clayton Mortensen...
