St. Louis Cardinals Collectors Thread

Hey guys, went to the 82 reunion weekend, and have two Bruce Sutter Bobbleheads available (my brother's) if any of you would need one. PM me if interested.

Would probably be interested. Trade or something? Let me know

Nice haul.What set is that McGee sticker from?Where did you meet DeLeon at?I've been wanting a signature of his, didn't think he signed mail?

Has anyone seen him pitch this year?He has been getting hammered all year.Was hoping he could provide a boost to the rotation later in the year, but forget that.Aside from the patch, at least all the others were cheap.

Went to the cardinals game. I sat 11 rows behind the green seats. To my right was 9 MLB scouts including Kerry Robinson. I did'nt talk to him because he was busy but I did talk to the scout next to me. Just sat and talked baseball with him. It was interesting. I did'nt want to bother him but spilled some water on his pant leg and apologized before he even noticed. He was super cool about it and we started talking he said he overheard me talking with my grandpa and agreed with most of the points I made. He said he thinks Miami got the good end of the deal on the Mujica deal. Im not sure of his name or who he works for.

Nice experience.We went to a Springfield game last year when Kelly started, right behind home plate, and talked to some Rays scout.I didn't think Mujica was that good either, I thought when Dotel wasn't signed it was a bad move, and they gave up a decent prospect for a worse reliever.Dotel has been good all year.

At least I didn't give up much for this.Now I have to hope some Marlins fan out there would want this.

McGee is an 85 or 86 Topps Sticker,, ball point signature is a little sharper than the scan shows. The DeLeon was from a dealer with a large box of signed cards, I think it was $1, I know he doesn't sign TTM, so I was quick to snag that one.

Yea, sitting back there was really cool. I didnt get to my seats until the middle of the second inning because I was catching up with some of the people I know in the stadium. I was walking through the aisle my seats are in and all of a sudden I just see Kerry Robinson sitting there and I was like well this is cool, so I text my mom who was sitting 2 seats over and she didnt believe me lol. I was like I just met the guy earlier in the year I know what he looks like (if you remember I met him on a school field trip and had my locker nameplate signed) so it was a fun night getting to talk baseball with someone who actually knew what they are talking about!

Is that one of those stickers Topps made back then for those sticker albums?I don't think Topps put stickers in packs back then, so I don't know where else it would have come from.My parents bought me some of those stickers when I was a kid on vacation, now I can't find them.I remember those Panini sticker albums though, I thought those were neat when I was a kid.Wish I wouldn't have peeled most of them though.

I also like that Maxvill and Javier with the red background.Nice Stephenson too.You got some of those signed cards in the $1 bin?Damn, nice score.

Nice stuff!Those signed photos are gorgeous.How much was admission?I really like that '87 Topps card of Clark, cool photo of him there.Aren't Clark and Cox still in the area managing somewhere?

Some cards I went through this week.Got doubles of most if anyone needs one.

Admission was $5. So for that price, I basically got three McBride autographs, two Clark autographs, two Cox autographs, and one Costello autograph. Each admission ticket worked for one per on the free guys, but I was with someone that didn't want McBride, Clark, or Cox, so he stood in line with me and got my cards signed.

I payed a nice fee for the Gibson. $69 for the premium autograph ticket, $10 for the 11x14. I helped pay for it by selling some cards to a dealer, though, so it's not like I payed the full cost. My intention was to get a 16x20 signed, but there was not a single unsigned 16x20 of Gibson at the show. Disappointed in that, but at least I was able to get larger than an 8x10.

Would Gibson not sign his HOF year?Was not aware McBride won ROY that year.No way you would trade the Clark, would you?

$18 just for an inscription. I didn't feel like paying that for five letters. I was not aware of McBride winning the ROY at all until I looked him up on Wikipedia while I was there. Figured he was worth buying an 8x10 to get signed. And as far as the Clark goes, no, I am keeping that one.

Grabbed this at a local shop today. I'm not sure that it's real, the "ood" looks questionable to me. But for the price I paid it was worth a shot.

 

[SINFULONE]

Can't get enough of these Topps Tribute cards.

 

[SINFULONE]

Found these in some old boxes of commons last night.

Finally got around to scanning some stuff:

That Donruss Inkredible is insane....I've been looking for one like it for a long long time. Same goes for the Yadi Mahoggany, been searching daily for a couple years now.
Great stuff, very jealous
