When 2009 A&G was released I planned to pick up the ***** League players and a few other in the Red Inks. As time went on I was able to buy more and more commons. I never thought I would get to 50% so working toward the set was not the original goal. Anyway I continued to find more and more never really hitting a dry point during progress. The last 10 were hard but a few board members here helped me over the hurdles (nevermore and mudflap most notably). The one major bump in the road was the Autos from Rip packs, while I have seen 8 of the 10 David Ortiz mini autos I have only seen 1 Josh Johnson (and many other players). It seemed hit and miss which auto came from the rip packs and how many. FCB's very own JJ collector found a horribly mis-labeled JJ Red Ink auto and it had been sitting in his collection. Once I was down to 2 cards I sent him an offer to purchase the card with a promise that when (if) another JJ Red Ink hits ebay or elsewhere I will buy it and send it his way and as you can see he agree, THANKS DAVE!!!!!

Four cards were redemption pieces, Miggy, Shani Davis, Rios and Osterman. The last two were not made. Osterman Blue Ink autos were released after replacements were sent out. Quite an uproar from her fans. However Topps sent out Boxes of Triple Threads as a replacement for the Red Ink card and due to the cost they decided not to make the Red Ink Osterman even after the fact.....this has been confirmed in written form by Topps. The Invisible Man auto is not directly a part of the set however since I own one I include it with the rest. Many of the autos in the set are the only one I have ever seen of the person, not to say I did not miss a couple along the way.

Anyway, now that the journey is over I find myself with a full set of cards #/10 and have 33 extras, the most I have of one person is 3. The cards not in PSA holders leave Monday.

Hope you enjoy and if anyone has a good idea of how to share this set with the world please let me know.

Thanks!

Very impressive. Ever thought of busting them all out of the frames and having the set unified in look? Amazing
set. Thanks for sharing.

HUGE CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU GEORGE!!!

I already told you this but I think this is one of the best accomplishments I have ever seen. to complete an autographed set numbered out of 10 is just incredible. I really hope FCB somehow recognizes this accomplishment. also way to go all the members that helped George complete this set.

Was Michael Phelps in this?

Phelps is in the Auto set but not Reds, his blue has a PR of 8 and Gold 1/1s.

Everyone, thanks for the comments

Joe, it is in the works with Dave.
