A little present to myself. I'll let the picture do the talking-

Final card I needed to finish the set.

Most of the set is found here (I only scanned the stars) http://s49.photobucket.com/albums/f289/ ... ?start=all

noice, i think i like 01 better than 00, prolly in the minority though

George K · Dec 25, 2008

Congrats!

Beautiful set. :shock:
I am partial to the 1999 set. :lol:

bigpapiMA32 · Dec 25, 2008

That's awesome! I wonder why Schmidt signed in blue.

MaineMule · Dec 25, 2008

bigpapiMA32- I wonder the same...I also have the Paul Blair dual signed card (not sure the story behind that) and the Stargell and Perry redemptions.

klute14- I can understand

I went for 2001 as it has 50+ HOFers. How many HOFers in the '99 set?

George- Thanks!!

jeremy- I think '00 is nice too, but I certainly favor '01

klute14 · Dec 25, 2008

By my count, 25 of 80.

big pat on the back. very sexy looking

mlbsalltimegreats · Dec 25, 2008

Now that's an accomplishment!!! Thanks for sharing.

MaineMule · Dec 25, 2008

mlbsalltimegreats- Yes, pulling the plug on the Mays was a fairly expensive accomplishment

Big Mac McGwire- Appreciate the pat on the back....I too think it is quite sexy as well

klute14- I do like the SI design on the '99s but went for the '01 based on the number of HOFers

Congrats! The Mays is the last card I need to complete my set too.

Thanks Tom, I remember we traded correspondence some months ago that we both needed this card. I decided to take the plunge, since as you know, this card does not come up very often.

Good luck trying to nail this one down.

Thank you all for the kind words. I'm pretty excited to have this one wrapped up. I've been on the prowl for the Mays for quite some time.

wideright · Dec 26, 2008

Congrats Scott!! Tremendous set!

KandKCards · Dec 26, 2008

Great! My favorite auto set behind 1997 UD Legends football. What did the Mays set you back? I still need that one as well.

nevermore · Dec 26, 2008

Congrats on completing the set, that is a tough one to finish!

When I got back into collecting in 2003 after almost 10 years, the 2001 GOTG base set was my very first hobby purchase. I had just come back from Cooperstown and was searching for baseball cards online to see what was new. When I stumbled across this set, I just had to have it...so I signed up for eBay that day and completed my first ever transaction. This is still one of my favorite sets of all-time. Congrats again!
