Had a pretty good mail day today! I was obviously pleased to finally get the triple auto in the mail, but I'm actually a little more excited about the other three. They had proven tough to find, and I'm glad to finally get to cross them off my list, especially the tin that's still sealed.

Great stuff! The auto is nice, but I have to agree...the '90s stuff is most fun. That's $100 phone card is tough...I'm still looking for the Frank.

Thanks. That Gold Special Edition is damn tough too. I think I've only ever seen one before. I don't usually share my mail much, but thought today would be a special case. :D

Thanks for the compliments, but I hope you really don't mean that. We love seeing all the cool and new items people add to their collections! Everybody has a different niche, so its nice to see what others are adding and how they are progressing!

Thanks Joe! Now that I think about it, the same goes for me too. Only seen any of these once before. Jeez, I might have to categorize this as my best mailday ever then.

Great cards Jerry. I love the 1997 Fleer. That blue on the 2003 Victory really pops. For a card #'d/650, you really dont see it too often. The oranges, blacks, and greens is about the only ones you see. I know Joe has the Red. I still remember not bidding on it because it was numbered #2 :lol: I thought I would just wait for #1, but guess what?? Never seen it, lol. I wish there was a way to scan foil front cards where they showed what the card really looked like.


hofautos: GREAT early Mac sig. I love those early cards where they have the early sigs as well.

Thanks and I agree on the foil cards.Still looking for a red and a purple but the blue got me one more step closer to the set or rainbow if you would choose to call it that.

Casey, welcome to the McGwire crew!

Jerry, dam man serial number extravaganza! Another great set of pickups! Is that the glowing version of the '97 fleer?

hofautos, very nice autos! I always liked that Mac/Canseco picture

I believe it is the glowing version I have trouble telling I traded for it as if it is so I sure hope so. Joe Did you find anything on the ones in the E-mail I sent you?

This is a stretch but does anyone happen to need one of those '99 Upper Deck Tribute to McGwire 30 card lunchbox sets? Found a sealed one buried in my closet
