Paring down the player collection: What is kept...

Anthony · Dec 5, 2010

Hey everyone,
I made the decision to only keep all of my 2002-2003 Khalil Greene cards, and stop collecting anything after 2003. Still, I have decided to make a few exceptions. Seeing as how I'm a little bored this morning, I thought I would share the post 2003 Khalil Greene cards that will stay in my collection. These are favorites of mine:

2004 Sweet Sigs Autos (/150, /30, and 2/3)

2005 Fleer Classic Clippings Jake Peavy/Khalil Greene Dual Auto 8/22

2004 Authentix Khalil Greene Quad Auto Booster (4 autographs on one card)

2006 UD SPA By The Letter Auto Set

2006 Allen and Ginter Wood Mini 1/1 (I cut out a GU card out of its frame and put my Greene card in it)

Thanks for looking,
Anthony

2004 Flair Hot Prospects 3 color patch and numbered 03/23 (Khalil's number!)

He's tough to get in person. I only got him at Padres Fan Fests and Spring Training--outside of that, no dice.

Being that it is PC, I love what you did with the mini wood.

I really like the idea on the wood. How'd you do that?

Very cool idea. And makes me want to pick up a few GU cards so I could do this myself.

Awesome collection man, ill still never forget some of those plays at SS Greene use to make

Thanks for the comments, folks. As for the wood mini, it's pretty easy. I just cut the plastic window with an exacto knife. There is now no plastic over the window. I originally tried to peel the plastic covering off the frame, but I ruined one frame doing that--it's glued so it tore. Anyway, I just cut out the plastic window, making sure there was no excess plastic edging that might cut the edges of my card. I sandwiched it into the screw-down you see and it looks great. I sent the GU that was in it to a player collector (I forget the player). I figured only a player collector would see the advantage of having a framed GU and a non-framed GU card.

@sdsportsfan1214: yes, I too remember those plays. He was fun to watch for a while there.

You're probably keeping the right stuff. Nice choices.

I split a frame from both Ginter and Mayo, I think you should try again

I just pusched my finger nail into the top edge to spil it, then I peeled it open.

Perhaps the 2006 frames were made differently? The first one I tried peeled/ripped as I tried to take the plastic cover off.
