Well, my project to obtain one MLB pack-certified auto of every player to have one either pictured in or listed as a NY Yankee has taken a big step forward within the past couple weeks. I am now down to 6 retired/vet autos and only 5 RC autos from recent chrome products.
Here's what I've picked up!
I've been outbid at $80 on probably every one of these that has been listed within the past 2 years, lol. I decided to up my bid to $85 for this one and finally won!
This one I've been looking for for years. There are only 2 other copies I've seen for sale within the last few years and those are listed on Beckett for about $25 a piece after shipping. I decided to be patient and was able to pick this one up for about half that.
This last one didn't really get me closer to my goal because before I saw it on ebay a few weeks ago, I didn't even know it existed so it was never on my list, lol. But I'm glad I was able to pick it up as who knows when I'd see another.
Just wanted to share as I haven't added a vet auto from my list in over a year I think. Here's what I still need
Retired/Vets
Mickey Mantle (lots out there, just need to finally pony up and buy one)
Bob Watson (04 Topps Originals)
Kevin Brown (04 SP Game Patch, denoted as a Yankee but in dodger uni)
Johnny James (10 Heritage, pictured as a Yankee but denoted as an Angel)
Delvi Mendez (01 Topps Reserve, the weird PSA auto from this set can be found fairly easily but Beckett lists an actual card auto from this set, which I'm trying to track down)
Dustin Moseley (11 Topps Opening Day, harder to obtain that it should be, lol)
Bowman Chrome RC Autos
Manny Banuelos
Ben Gamel
Greg Bird
Rookie Davis
Dante Bichette Jr.
