Seller really likes his Ripken huh.

Apparently. All seem to be listed a little on the high end. I know the Maddux is.

These will be at my house soon, and then they'll be off to their lucky new owner!

Woo hoo! I know a guy that has every non 1/1 Dean Palmer except this card. Unfortunately for him, I need it for my set...

Getting close yet Eric?? That's been a pretty long project.

Nope - still have a ways to go and the Ryno is going to be a doozy. I'm going to have to hit it like you hit your Clark (which I also still need).

I need to change my sig to call attention to my attempt at building the set because I need lots and lots of help. Everybody knows I'm a Greer guy from my username, but they forget who's building that set.

You will have some competition on that Ryno, my friend.

Here's what I need. The only ones I've really "missed" are Canseco ($75?), Vladi ($25ish), and A-Rod ($50-something?). Smiley, Nagy, and Dean Palmer are en route.

Pretty strong. As a former collector of the "impossible" set, I'm impressed. By the way, finally got the scanner up and running again. Picked up a few Ripken samples for cheap that I plan on flipping for a few bucks.





Also working on a 9-card sheet of these.




And these came in a few weeks ago:

I did get REAL LUCKY with that Will. I did my normal mundane Will Clark searching on COMC and there it was, in all its foil glory. Considering I'd offered $75 to $150 for a Clark multiple times with multiple lookers, I couldn't get into my checkout quick enough.

One of these days I'm going to pick up a Griffey Big Sticks. I keep waiting for COMC to build up a good stock of them to drive the price down, but people keep buying them up!

I've always wanted this Griffey even though it's not too rare. I did appreciate the poor listing to ensure I had no competition:

A few things I have picked up lately.

Fan Fest Gold Tin


Crash the Game Gold Redemption


Gold Rush Punched Redemption


Picked up the gold and silver off of Ebay. Got the gold and red back from a friend I traded it to many years ago.

Wow, anyone want a Maddux Shining Star Pulsars for $4? Last one sold for $17. Kinda confusing, though, as the seller has two listed.

Wish I would have seen your post that he had two listed. I was one of the underbidders on the one that sold for $17, so I jumped on one for $4. Then I came here and you'd posted that there were two...I have a feeling I'm not getting the card pictured.

I won the $17 one. The $4 I couldn't believe was accurate, so I didn't bid on it.

Just picked up the Artist's Proof to finish off the 1996 Pinnacle Aficionado "rainbow"

Love the First Pitch Preview! Last Belle I need to be with you on this rainbow. Congrats!

RustyGreerFan said:

So far it appears that there really are just 30 of each - no repeat numbers yet. The guy you bought it from recently made a bunch available. I bought seven Rusty Greers from him. The way that he's trying to get rid of them makes me think he picked them up from someone as opposed to have been sitting on them all this time.

That seller was a nice enough guy...and really didn't know what he had until after he sold that first set for $500. I was very close to grabbing a Pettite and Vlad for $20 combined delivered until someone (or something) alerted him that those were worth a little more. LOL

A few Thomas collectors have the bronze version of the FPP. Does anyone else have one?

I have never seen that before and I hope Ryno doesn't have that variation.
