Ozzie Smith collectors thread

[ribsandwhiskey]

Woo Hoo!

Hello fellow Ozzie fans! Over the last 1 1/2 years or so I've gotten back into collecting cards and have been a member of this site for a bit. I hadn't really looked around much until I was directed to this thread by Mr Calfas (THANK YOU VERY MUCH BTW).

Some really amazing stuff in this thread I had no idea existed. I've had a great time looking at all of it and can't wait to see more! You guy's that collect the base/inserts have gotten me excited to go through all my boxes of older Ozzie cards and see what's in there.


Here are a few favorites from my collection.

2004 Donruss Elite "Throwback Threads" 7/10


2005 Absolute "Marks of Fame" 1/5


2006 Topps Sterling 8/10


2009 Topps Sterling #1/1

Thanks a lot guys! I've had a blast looking through this thread tonight. Some REALLY spectacular cards everyone has.

Greg- The '06 Sterling is on-card (I think they all were that year). Unfortunately the '09 Sterling is an off-center sticker auto. I actually would have almost though that card was fake if I hadn't seen the video of it being pulled from the box.

A few of my newer cards:
1990 Shanghai Cultural
1996 CC YMTP Gold
1990 Donruss Test/White

Nice stuff Wade. I was thinking about picking up one of those Chinese playing cards, but I forgot to put in a bid lol.

Thanks, Kevin. I picked up that Chinese card because I hadn't seen it but beware if you do because I was outbid only to have the notorious "second chance offer" come up almost immediately for my high bid. You've got to wonder when that happens. I agreed to less but be leery if it comes up.

 

[ribsandwhiskey]

That Chinese playing card is really sweet.

I took some time to go through one of my old Ozzie Boxes and these were some of the "more interesting" finds. I haven't seen a full Ozzie checklist in a long time so you guys probably have a better idea of the rarity of some of these then I do. I still have 1000's of cards to dig through so if you see anything you want let me know I'm sure there are at least 2X some of them.

Made it through another box today. I guess a couple of them might be short(er) prints. Although I suppose during this time period nothing was too short.

I wanted to put out a request to all of you Ozzie collectors. I am in need of a regular issue 1982 Topps Traded Ozzie #T109. This is the next to last card (Ripkin RC) that I need for my set. Do any of you amazing Ozzie collectors have an extra 82 Topps Traded that you would be willing to trade to me?

just thought that I would give this a shot.

thanks,

I am sure that I do. I just need to do some digging. Is there anything in particular that you are looking for? I should have some inserts from Topps and UD. I'll see what I can find for you.

Thanks,

OK, I found a couple that you may or may not be interested in. 2005 UD Classics #122 Gold #170/199 and 1992 Score Gold #400. Let me know if you need either.

Thanks,

A local hobby shop has an Ozzie 1/1 Sterling, if anyone is interested I can prolly pick it up for them.

OK. thanks for the offer. I don't have much more exotic than these. One of the downfalls to collecting base sets is that you get base inserts. If I come across anything else this afternoon I will post it up, but I doubt that I will find more Ozzie.

Thanks,

Got this one today
