2005 Absolute Memorabilia Collector's Thread

[bear0555]

Anyone notice Donruss seems to have put the Roger Maris Kansas City A's pants swatches into the Yankees Jumbos and vice versa?

I would have never noticed if you didn't point it out. The errors in the update set are frustrating but I love the cards nonetheless.

Yea, you start to notice little things from staring at same set every day for hours on end lol.

Just got this 4/10

Bump to welcome bmags45

hello all. I am new to this website. I re-started collecting sportscards approx 10 years ago (I did as a kid also in the 70's / 80's). began putting the 2005 absolute Memorabilia set together in 2007. almost near completion of the 1-200 TOTT set. I try to collect as many patch/auto/low #'ed cards as I can, always looking to upgrade my current set. I will post some pics of a few of the better cards I own from this set.

 

[bmags45]

I am always looking to upgrade my current set, and I hope I can help others via trade, etc, with things that we are all looking for

This list is very achievable. The three biggies are 1.Jackson, 2.Grimes, 3.Yaz. The rest of them show up regularly. I'll check my doubles over the next few days and let you know what I can help with.

 

[bmags45]

yes those 3 have been very elusive for me on Ebay. I've been so close to a few Yaz + Grimes

 

[Jon30b]

Nice, I wish I could help you out. Only one I have is the Randy Johnson AZ which I'm holding onto.

I used to own this... now I do not :'(

that Vlad 1/1 logo / patch is sweet. I was fighting for that one on Ebay as well.
