Super Collecting + Crowd Sourcing = Crowd Collecting? I Need *YOUR* Help!

CANSECO WANT LIST BELOW!

Player collectors can be a ravenous, obsessive group. As we have seen in recent days, Omar Vizquel cards going for as high at $10,000. All it takes is a few well to do fans who are willing to throw down when something big hits Ebay. While there are some big Canseco spenders out there, I'm thankful that they aren't like Vizquel collectors. Ha - I never thought I'd say that!



Thankfully though, ebay isn't the end-all, be-all for collectors. We have each other, through online forums looking out for each other!

Do you remember the first card you traded for on the forums? I do. It was years ago, and was my very first exposure in probably 15 years to doing any sort of trading through the mail. It was exhilarating.

I found someone online who had a 2003 Canseco bat card. This was before I had any other relic cards of his. We ended up trading a 1983 Fleer Rickey Henderson for this beauty:




My gosh, it was magical. I still get giddy whenever I go to the mail box and see there is a package that could contain some cardboard to feed my growing addiction.

I have spent a lot of time on my checklist, making a separate "want list only" - and I have posted it below. There are 2 numbers: The # of cards I need not counting 1/1's and # of cards I need not counting cards below /10.

One thing is for sure: Without *YOUR* help, completing my collection simply would not be possible!

I would like to have this thread serve as a sort of interactive checklist to where I will post my purchases/deals so hopefully one day, I can see 500 turn to 400 turn to 100 turn to 10 turn to ...

To start things off, I'll post my most recent card purchase. It is a beauty in my eyes! A dual patch Canseco/McGwire card where both of them are on the A's! The Canseco patch is a part of the actual logo, which makes it extra awesome sauce.



Please, dig deep, peeps! Let's get this crowd-sourced collecting want-list of mine to shrinking!

# OF CARDS I NEED (Not counting 1/1's) | /10 and higher

Thanks man!

I got some more that came in. It has been an IMMACULATE kind of a week!

I had a pretty great mail day today! Here is what it consisted of:

First off, I was able to snag a few STAR variations that I didn't have before. Heck, I didn't even know they existed! Glossy blue promo, glossy purple set and matte platinum promo. I had the matte blue promo, matte purple set and glossy platinum promos already.

The star sets and promos are very intriguing to me because they only show up in the annual becketts ... and there are only 3 or so of the sets listed. In actuality, there are 20+ sets, not to mention countless promos and variations to chase that don't seem to appear anywhere. I *think* I'm closing in on having almost all of them. Anyway, here is the pic of them:



Next up, is a card that I have been waiting on for OVER A MONTH. When I found out my beckett cover was going to be made into a chase card at the national, which, once the first 200 people completed the set and brought them to the beckett booth, they would received a national exclusive autographed beckett card. I found out that they were going to be offering 30 copies of a card made from my favorite beckett ever ... the july '88 w/Canseco ... autographed!

I thought this was a pipe dream to get, and that many would not see ebay, but thankfully, the friday of the national, someone put it up! I quickly grabbed it. The problem? It was stuck in the USPS system for OVER A MONTH!!!

I called them a few times and lo and behold ... it came in today! The seller refunded me a few weeks ago saying he hoped that I would pay him back if it ever came in. I notified him today and told him to invoice me what he wanted. He told me to pay him $10 less than we agreed, but since it wasn't his fault, I just paid in full.

This card, in a sense, completes a journey for me and finishes a chapter up.

Here it is!



Last, but not least - a card I would gladly call my precious. I put in an offer to which was left sitting for a day and a half. I thought the dude thought I was lowballing him, and just basically decided to not even waste his time with me. Wellll ... as it turns out, he accepted, and ....

BAM!



I can't tell you how much I love this card. Panini did this card CORRECTLY. Nice holofoil and everything.

So anyway, that is my mailday! Please look over my list and let me know if there is anything you have that i may need!

2 days and no new Canseco cards yet :/ C'mon folks! Let me know what ya got!

First of all, THANK YOU to @rngrdanny22 for hooking me up with a FREE 1988 Topps rack pack showing Canseco/McGwire. You rock!

In the past 2 days, I've gotten 2 really great cards.

The first: 1997 SPX Grand Finale # to 50. This is impossible to find. Actually, it is the only one I've seen before of Canseco. If there is one thing I have learned, it is that cards #'ed to 50 from the 90's can sometimes be ridiculous to track down.


The next is one of my favorites! A 2014 A&G Double Rip Card of Canseco on one side and McGwire on the other. It is #'ed 2/5 and I thought I'd never get a chance to have one. I know where most all of the others are, and with 2 guys on the same card that are as highly sought after as Canseco & McGwire, I just thought it was hopeless.

Well, it came in!

Today, I mourn the loss of 3 great PC cards. No, I didn't spill milk on them, nor did I accidentally drop them in the toilet, admiring them while peeing.

After a week of going back and forth with a fellow Canseco super collector (Razor), I gave up 3 cards and cash in return for 6 cards. I will likely show them when they come in, but a fun little picture back & forth ensued that I thought I would share in the mean time.

In true James Bond fashion, he sent me pics to update how my package was sent out at around midnight last night.

Here is the package on the super cool motorcycle


Nice light up gauges


So blurry, he must be going, like, 200 mph!


Arrived at destination under the cover of night


One last look before "the pig is in the barn"


Mission accomplished


I figured I'd show off how his package made it on its way as well, just so I could match him.

After chowing down on the finest of vintage plateware from the "tickle me elmo" line, I packed and weighed the package.


Well, I had a lot to drink this morning...


Motorcyle? Nah. Minivan is how we do it here!


Rollin' slow style in the sub-div.


Must....resist....temptation....(I didn't get any at all!)


Picture of 50 year old woman's hand scanning the package (whom Razor thought was my hand.) EDIT: He did not in fact, think it was my hand.


Looking forward to the incoming package, but sad I had to let go of some beauties! It was all for the "greater good" though, I guess

I've got a bit of a lag just from being busy over the past several days, so here is what I have for today to show:



The leaf is a /10, the Stadium club is a redemption /50 - this one is actually a bit tough to find with Jose's signature inside the specific box. I've seen him sign this /50 many times outside of the box!

The one in the middle is ... not him. LOL - at least, I don't think so. I think it might be a pic of his twin brother Ozzie. It was one of the 10 remaining cards of him that I need that was serial numbered over 100. The others that are left I suspect have a high # that are still left unopened in packs, and possibly (GASP!) stuck together.

Just curious, but have you picked up the Jose Canseco issue of the old Baseball Superstars Comics?

So what's in the box?

The Grand Finales were not numbered or even shown as Grand Finales which make these even more impossible to identify.

So, that pick up didn't come without stress. After that fun back and forth on pictures, we waited. And we waited. And we waited.

$21 on insurance for 2 day priority ... and it just said "Acceptance" for the first whole day on the tracking number. Then on the entire second day. It was said that sometimes USPS is in a hurry so they don't scan everything. So much for the $21 to ship, but I wasn't worried about that. I was worried about the cards!

I went out to greet the mail lady to see if she had something to sign, and she looked like at me like I had 2 heads. In a cruel twist of fate, I did get a piece of junk mail from the sender's city.

The next day ... "acceptance". Still nothing.

Thursday, the mail lady finally asked "what are you looking for?" So I told her, and she said "Oh, it will probably get here tomorrow." It made me feel MUCH better, though, I'm not sure why. I mean, how could she possibly know what the package was?

Friday came, and I heard her knock on the door (YAY!) I had my son put our dogs in the backyard, but "the big one" decided to get loose and meet the mail lady at the door. "GET YO DOG!!!" She said. I felt awful - she probably must have thought that she was about to be eaten!

Anyway, the package was finally here!!!



It can NOT be understated how .... secure .... this box was. I mean, the man must have spend $42 on tape alone!

After about 7 and a half hours of un-taping it, my burning forearms had just enough strength to open the box.

And then I found another taped box.

The sender actually put my name and number on the box inside the box saying "if lost, contact Tanner" - brilliant!

So, 42 minutes and $17 worth of tape later (I'm kidding Razor - not complaining about it at all - I appreciate you making it all secure for me!) my prizes were here!

A Donruss autograph numbered to /15.



Beautiful on card Ultimate Signature Supremacy which I had never seen before



Red Ink Tier One released in Asia /5 (the first one!)



and its red ink asian brother /5 (the first one as well!)



This card type is incredibly tough. Not just this card in specific, but this card type. The 2004 Prime Cuts II set has 20 Canseco cards. All but one are numbered to 1 or to 5. The only "base" card (no auto or gu) numbered to 50 went for $40 if I recall correctly. I don't ever see these pop up. This one is numbered to /5.



Last but certainly not least, is the whole reason the trade happened to begin with. 2014 Framed Museum silver ink /5. While these signatures are notorious for not looking crisp, I'm happy to report the signature in person looks much better in person!



This card, for me, marks the reason why it is *literally* impossible to collect ALL Canseco cards even if you aren't going for all 1/1's. Never mind the fact that some obscure cards out there are impossible to find; if they are numbered to 5 and of Canseco, the odds are they may be locked up in other collections. This Museum for instance - I already know where the other 4 are, so if I didn't do a trade for it, it simply would not have been available for possibly years or even decades.

This card completes a non 1 of 1 framed museum rainbow for me as well! They are some of my favorite looking - if not my favorite looking cards ever! Here are all the Museums together.

THIS was an excellent transaction with drama to match!

Glad you guys got things worked out and both seem happy!

Years ago I bought several of those SPX boxes.I loved the cards, but had a hard time differenciating all the different parallels.I was hoping any numbering on the back would identify the rarer ones.I did pull an insert that was numbered on the back.I don't think I hit any Grand Finale cards, but I probably wouldn't know if I did.

How many parallels are there for those framed autographs?Bronze, silver, gold?

Yeah they are difficult if not in hand. As for the parallels, those are all of them except for the 1/1's and I'm not sure what they look like

I had them in hand and still had a hard time telling them apart.
