Justin Upton Collectors thread

[WoundedDuck]

Do we even have enough guys that collect him? If not, maybe I'll be the only one posting. :twisted: Hopefully we can do like some of the other collector threads out there. I'm pretty small time myself, but I know there are some amazing high end Uptons around here. Here's what I received from COMC over the weekend:

Thats a nice collection!

Scan away please! Scan away!

I need to do some scanning and reorganizing of my Upton photobucket as well

Lets hope he will have an MVP type year in 2012. Provide my boy Hudson with some support.

Was that the one you posted about your Mrs. killing you over? :lol:

I don't have nearly as much as I would like, but slowly getting there...

Did you happen to see the Upton '11 BC Super is up for sale? Ending mid-week.

I knew my low bid wouldn't get it done, but hey, I tried. I hoped it was a member here 'cuz it was Rendon, WA but so far nobody knew the seller...

Amazing card!

I've slowed down and let a lot of items slip by that a while back I would have absolutely won.

Has anyone ever seen a copy of Upton's 2009 Topps U/H All Star jumbo patch? The cards are numbered to 6 and look like this:

I don't see myself ever becoming a really serious collector of another player again, but I like a good Upton card once in a while. As #1 overall picks go, was leery of ever buying his RC autos, with one giant exception. I think he's got great potential and is still, STILL only just turned 24. I guess I might call myself a collector of his, but I go for rarity over quantity, and gravitate towards 'pure' cards without autographs or patches and such. Here's my best stuff...

AFLAC Auto "For Promo Use" version #867/1000

2006 Bowman Originals Black parallel #5/99 (I still need 1 card for this set, but they dried up years ago)

2006 Bowman Sterling Black auto #1/25

2008 Bowman Chrome Red Refractor #3/5

2008 Topps Finest Gold Refractor #2/50

2008 UD Masterpieces Newman-eyes Blue or whatever it's called, #5/5

2008 UD Timelines 2004 Timeless Teams Platinum parallel (could it be named something more complicated) #12/25

I thought I had a 2008 Finest Red Refractor but couldn't locate it. Oh well, it's in the closet somewhere, hopefully. I have been looking at more of his stuff lately, hopefully this collection will continue to improve over the next 15 years.

Ugh. Missed on the only purple Upton I've seen. I was the underbidder. Looking at other completed purples, I thought for sure I'd get it. I think this is what happens when 2 snipes collide.

 

[JustinVerlander35]

Beautiful collection. I really want to buy a Justin Upton auto.

 

[WoundedDuck]

Bigtime pick up for me :mrgreen:

 

[Keyser Soze]

Don't collect him, but I do have this that I haven't seen on this thread
