The Super Sweet Early 00's Thread

Do you have the 2007 Topps or Update 1st Editions?

Did anyone else feel like 2007's were harder to track down?

Weren't the 1st Editions typically issued as special boxes? I recall seeing 2004 and 2005 Bowman boxes for sale that were 1st Edition boxes - nothing but 1st Ed base cards, no inserts or parallels. The 2007s were something like 1:36 (off the top of my head), and I've never seen them for some of my players.

Yes they were 1:36 and are super tough. I have no idea about the Update but those never surface either.
I saw the Jeter/Mantle/Bush a few months ago and he wanted an arm and leg for it.

found this about 2007 update, not sure how true.................
There are 330 cards in the base set.
There are inserts: Generation Now, Mickey Mantle Home Run History and The Mickey Mantle Story. There are also 25 more cards for the A-Rod Road to 500, Barry Bonds Home Run History also a special Barry Bonds Home Run King,World Series Watch cards.
There are parallels for all the base cards in Gold (numbered to 2007), Copper (#'d to 56), First Edition (one per box) and Platinum (1-of-1).
The relic cards include: All-Star Stitches, 2007 Highlights Autographs and Generation Now Autographs.

I don't have either the Topps or Topps Update 1st edition from 2007. Now I'm goinig to have to keep my eye out for them.

Don't want to hijack this thread, but is there a Jim Thome Collector on this board? I have a low numbered you might be interested in. Please PM me.

Is there also a 1st Edition version of 2005 Topps Update? I haven't heard of it but the recent discussion in this thread has me wondering if i should be looking for an '05 Topps Update Olerud...

 

[Will Style 13]

Just got this in the mail my lowest numbered Brady. Still haven't found a 1 of 1.

I think you're safe, I don't see anything about 1st Editions from 2005 Update. Good thing, you might have some competition for one if they did exist!

Got in some cool stuff from COMC:

The Final Cuts are even nicer in person, I recommend everyone get one of their player(s) as soon as you can!

Thanks to jaredweaver fan for helping me obtain all of these cards:

2000 E-X Essential Credentials 9/25

2004 Leaf Limited Threads Button 2/6

2005 SP Legendary Cuts Patch Gold /10

2005 Ultimate Collection Sluggers Signature Patch 1/3

 

[PadresFan86]

Nice pickups Bacon and Katie. That Griffey collection is sick too!

 

[flagshipchromecollector]

Real or no real?

 

[RustyGreerFan]

I didn't realize there was such a Brady Anderson following. A couple of nights ago his 2000 Finest Gold Refractor auctioned for $50 while I got the Carlos Beltran for $1.

Nice card - Don't think I have ever seen one of that parallel.

I like to seach eBay every now and then for other examples, and there have been some recently on the site. It looks like seven went unsold by a seller in Singapore. I imagine that a lot of them are still in unopened packs. If I remember correctly, it was a little pricey for 4 cards per pack (maybe $4?). Would love to pick some of this up now. I think, like most Pacific products, it is very underrated.

I was going after it, but then it just seemed too insanely high and I backed off at the end. $50 can be used elsewhere for my Brady Collection.

Real or no real?

Probably real. Fleer did a buyback type thing where their older inserts were re-inserted in a newer product with hand numbering. If I remember right, there should be a real faint, faint, faint embossed stamp on it... I have a Gwynn, and about half the stamp is visible if you hold it just right.

Yep, probably this: 2005 National Pastime Buyback Game Used #GM14 G.Maddux 02 Ult OR Jsy/6
Give the surface a real close look over at different angles for a stamp
