I loved Donruss Studio. The background with the US flag looked so nice. The 2004 design with the background of the player's home stadium is another favorite design of mine.

What did you pull then? I wish I bought some then.

Omg, I spent thousands at that time. My best pulls were a Pujols 4 piece shoe/hat/jersey/bat/auto #1/5, a Brett 4 piece/auto #/5 (which is currently on ebay for like $700), a Mariano Rivera sick 4-color patch (WS sleeve logo)/auto #/5, and so many other amazing cards. I had an amazing collection. I had a collection, like my current Yankees collection, but of all players. I had every star playet there was. Unfortunatly, my apartment was broken into and my cards were all stolen :(

That sucks. How did someone break in? Did renter's insurance cover stolen items? Did you ever find the cards?

Went thru my window. 1st floor. And yes, I found a ton of them. This is why I stopped collecting for years. So I have a flea market near me, where the 2nd floor is all baseball cards. They have shows, and have like 6 dealers. I bought 90% of my cards from a guy up there. Well I went there, and I saw a guy with a ton of my cards. I called the cops. They came, took all my cards, and got a description of the guy who sold them. White guy, mid 20's. That's it. The dealer said he payed the guy over $5000 for them. So now the cops have my cards as evidence. I go to the station, and they end up saying I have no proof their mine, cuz I had no receipts for them. Sorry, the flea market guy doesn't give receipts. Yet I could tell them every card, every serial number, every flaw. I had a photo bucket account with them all. They also could have just asked the dealer I bought the boxes from. Plus, why did they even take the cards in the 1st place then???? So now I dont get my cards back, the guy who payed over 5grand is out his money. I was so pissed. I bet a cop or his kid has them now. I also didmt have renters insurance, and didnt even know about that back then

Did someone smash your window or was it unlocked? So the police kept them as evidence forever? Wouldn't Photobucket pictures be enough to prove the cards were yours?

Unlocked. I live in a semi quiet town on long island. Yea, I thought so 2. I Was so pissed/upset at the time. Now I look back at it, and I'm even more pissed. There's no way they should have kept my cards. I honestly have no idea what happened with the cards. Maybe they gave them back, but I doubt that. They guy who bought them was pissed. My buddy I always went to the flea market with went there like a couple weeks after this happened, and the dealer started screaming at him that we were in cohoots with the guy who stole em. I didnt go back there for years. This all happened in 2005. I've been back there recently, and the guys not there.

I'd be devastated if I had a bunch of high value cards stolen. I'd probably stop collecting. I have a few low value Yankees cards I could find if you think you could use them. Not star players though.

I was devestated lol. I stopped collecting for about 7yrs. To think that I'll never see those amazing cards I had again. I had a Stan Musial upper deck baseball heroes 2 color patch/auto #1/5. Ill never see that card again, or it'll be like the George Brett, 2 much money for me. Then 1day, I decided on a whim to go on ebay and look at Yankees patches, and got hooked again. I appreciate the offer a ton Sin, but I'm good. I've got a pretty decent collection going. Who do u collect by the way??
