Let's face it, I have a couple dirt cheap addictions in this hobby...Randy Johnson rookies and Dorin Dickerson 2009 National Treasures autographs to be more specific. It's the Randy Johnson rookies that are the question as hand.
I once had a goal of 100 Johnson rookies with no specific breakdown, just no traded or update (basically - no Mariners cards, Expos only). That goal shifted to 200, and then eventually 800. Well, I've hit 800.
So what's included in what I consider his "rookies" showing him in Expos gear?
- 1989 Donruss (both with and without asterisk versions)
- 1989 Donruss The Rookies
- 1989 Upper Deck
- 1989 Topps
- 1989 Topps Tiffany
- 1989 Score
- 1989 Score Young Superstars
- 1989 Score Hottest 100
- 1989 Fleer (including 30 or so various Marlboro variations)
- 1989 Fleer Glossy
- 1989 Topps Big
- 1989 Sportflics
- 1989 Classic
- 1989 Panini Stickers
The 800 number (814 to be exact) is a raw count as I don't count graded copies, although I have roughly 30 Gem examples of a mix of the above.
The question is, when to stop? For background, there is no realistic goal to this. IE: No grand plans to sell when he gets inducted, etc. Basically, just hoarding.
Thoughts?
