I honestly never thought when I started collecting Chavez nearly 10 years ago that I would reach having 600 different game used cards. I actually never thought he would have that many game used cards to begin with, much less own that many. It has been a lot of fun collecting Chavez and it was a lot of fun going through my collection to pick out my top 5%. Game used autographed cards are NOT factored in the 600, if they were that would add another 121 cards. Thank you to everyone that has assisted me my collection. The generousity of people I have had the pleasure of dealing with is just phenominal.
Here is the 1st Game Used that started it all
2001 Bowman's Best Locker Room Collection Jerseys Cost: $4
Here is #600
2004 Topps Clubhouse Red Relics 1/1 Cost: $25
Here Are My Top 30 / 5% Game Used
#30 2008 Upper Deck Spectrum Swatches Purple/3 (This was one of my favorite recent GU sets, unfortuntely UD messed up the coloring/serial numbering of other cards in the set)
#29 2008 Topps Triple Threads Relics Combos Double Sapphire /3 (Not a huge fan of "fold out" cards but this set just glows)
#28 2003 Leaf Clean Up Crew Materials Tejada/Chavez/Dye/50 (A very clean looking card featuring the A's line up I remember most)
#27 2001 Absolute Memorabilia Boss Hoggs /25 (A very tough issue for me to locate)
#26 2005 Throwback Threads Generations Material Prime /10 (This is the only pairing Chavez has with these players)
#25 2005 Prime Patches Materials Button /7 (A very clean looking set)
#24 2005 Bowman Sterling Red Refractors 1/1 (I owned this card twice before, its in the collection to stay now)
#23 2005 Leaf Limited Threads MLB Logo 1/1 (My least favorite logo but still easily a top 30 card)
#22 2005 Prime Patches Materials Laundry Tag /4 (Goes well with the button, Thanks again George!)
#21 2005 Leaf Limited Timber Barrel 1/1 (Another nice looking barrel)
#20 2004 SP Game Used Patch Premium /50 (An awesome looking logo patch)
#19 2004 Leather and Lumber Naturals Barrel /2 (A nice looking barrel but the design of the card leaves a bit to be desired)
#18 2003 Leaf Certified Materials Mirror Emerald Materials /5 (This is my favorite set that features Chavez, I am just the Black Materials short of the Master Set)
#17 2000 SPx Winning Materials Cap/Jersey /100 (Very clean looking set, this was my first "must have" card
#16 2009 Ultimate Collections Ultimate Six Memorablia Blue DiMaggio/Will/Chav/Mari/McCovey/Zito/5 (The only card featuring Dimaggio and Chavez)
#15 2003 Topps Prime Cuts Relics /50 (The Auto'd version was my "White Whale" so naturually the non auto'd version ranks in the top 30)
#14 2007 Ultimate Collection Ultimate Ensemble Quad Patches Crosby/Chavez/Street/Harden/10 (One of the only multi patch cards where Chavez is featured with other A's)
#13 2005 Prime Patches Portraits MLB Logo 1/1 (This was originally my least favorite logo but has grown on my over the years)
#12 2004 Leather and Lumber Materials MLB Logo 1/1 (This is the best Logo that incorporates the team's colors)
#11 2009 Ultimate Collections Ultimate Patch /35 (I missed out on the top part of the logo, I wasn't going to lose the bottom)
#10 2003 Leaf Limited Threads Button /6 (His first button card and from a great looking set)
#9 2005 Leaf Certified Materials Mirror Fabric Black MLB Logo 1/1 (LCM one of my favorite sets year in and year out, its his only logo from this set)
#8 2005 Topps Pristine Power Stick Bat Knob Relics 1/1 (A very sweet looking card, the only thing that would make it better would be a photo of Chavez on the card)
#7 2005 Upper Deck Super Patch Number SP 24 (Everything about this card is great, design, patch, photo)
#6 2004 Leaf Limited Barrels 1/1 (The most complete barrel name plate I have seen and a very nice looking set)
#5 2000 Upper Deck Game Jersey Patch (First GU Patch Card)
#4 2002 Fleer Genuine Tip of the Cap Game Used Eric Chavez/14 (A VERY sweet swatch of the "A's" hat logo)
#3 2001 Upper Deck MVP Game Souvenirs Bat Trios C. Jones/ Glaus / Chavez/25 (One of the biggest steals of my collection, and once Spencer had one I HAD to find one
)
#2 2004 Absolute Memorabilia Tools of the Trade Material Single Jumbo PS 1/1 (I think this one speaks for itself)
And the Number One
.....

#1 2006 Flair Showcase Lettermen /6 (By far his best looking lettermen set, he only has 2)
