beautiful cards in hand...

anyone have any Mystery Numbers Emerald cards to share?

Okay...the first 6 on your list and maybe the 1994 Osceola Astros anniversary Team Issue might be found at Jay's emporium. He is kinda hard to persuade to dig through his stuff but these kind of oddballs are right up his alley. You can contact him....http://myworld.ebay.com/jays-emporium

Thanks for your help. I just knocked out two more off my want list.

Good luck on the 1988 Jones Photo. I've been trying to find the 1989 Jones Photo of Darryl Kile for almost ten years.

Turns out he had the tucson toros photo. I asked if he had the Kile for you.

I know one isn't 90's or considered "sweet". Don't kill me!!! : )

More specific to the samples you mention, they were only handed out to dealers and they are kind of rare. The one you want obviously has Ripken on it, thus making the price a little higher than ALL Caminiti cards.

Fixed.

I just think it's amazing that you add "sample" to a card and it sky rockets the price to an insane amount.

You can find them for non-Clarkfan prices too: http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160784226654&ssPageName=ADME:B:EOIBSA:US:3160#ht_500wt_1182

Fixed.

Thank you Captain Obvious

Therion, no luck on the Kile photo but i'll keep my eye out for you.

^^ Hey Brian, do you have a link to your want list?

 

[clarkfan]

yep, sometimes they do sell cheaper . . . if I were that seller though, I would have at least put the full name of Cal Ripken in the title. I think that hurt him a little. I've seen individual panels sell for $50.

I found this to be the most disturbing part of that auction "These cards had been in the original plastic sealed until I opened them to take the picture yesterday"

 

[ASTROBURN]

^^ why would he take em out of the plastic bag they come in? Wouldnt they get more if still sealed?

I'll pm you it tonight. Feel free to send me one for Bags. I always see tons of his cards every where I go.

 

[clarkfan]

Yep, you would think so. I, of course, have had quite a few over the years. And I've only opened them if they appeared to have damaged corners that I wanted to get a better scan of for the buyer, but usually, leaving them in package will get the best sales. He could have easily sold those for $30 or $40 more if he listed them perfectly (and left it sealed).

Yeah, I need to finish one. Its so hard when your want list is over 3000 cards.

 

[gradedeflator]

one of my favorite 90s die cuts. I happened to be re-scanning it the other day (I've learned to scan with the top up these days) and just realized that it is serial #d #0031/2000 so it's a jersey number. kind of neat, sadly the "high moment" of the day (tells you how bad my work was going).

Therion, no luck on the Kile photo but i'll keep my eye out for you.

I appreciate it. I've gone as far as cold calling card shops in Tuscon asking if they knew ANYONE that had these. No luck yet.

You lucky SOB!

I picked up a sealed Konerko/Cruz Jr./Tatis/Grieve set from a local dealer's dime box a few years ago, along with one of the Piazza/IRod/CJohnson panel. I had no idea these were so incredibly hard to find, blew my mind when I found out. To the doubters, these Samples are for real.

I know, it sucks. I put a master list of Gwynn and Caminiti together. Took me about a week. One of the local lcs owners has family from the houston area. They seem to have lots of Bagwell stuff. Let me know when you put the list together.

I appreciate it. I've gone as far as cold calling card shops in Tuscon asking if they knew ANYONE that had these. No luck yet.

Makes you wonder how many copies they made. I've never seen the Jones photo until today.

Very Overrated.
