Yup, that's me. ManOfSteal was already taken when I registered years ago, so I went Disney instead (my other obsession).

Randal is still buying. Won the 05 Prime Patches 8/10 for $103. Who is Spcemountaineer or Krarca?

No idea who Krarca is, haven't run across that one before. Depending on the card, maybe a set collector?

I just ran across these Rob Neyer articles over the last few weeks - thought the group would like to read them:

Was George Brett really a "weenie" in 1990? - Baseball Nation

Who was really the most valuable American Leaguer in 1985? - Pinstriped Bible

Would be pretty awesome to hear Three time MVP and Hall of Famer Rickey Henderson!

Is anyone else getting bored and annoyed with the cards Topps is putting out every year now? The last few years for Rickey cards from Topps have been terrible. The "manufactured" cards are getting desperate and they keep using the same photos for everything. There will probably be a manufactured cleat, base or jock next. They still need a manufactured logo for the padres, angels, and mets. Also, every patch card that comes out is a boring and plain white. They do have a monopoly so they don't have to be too innovative I guess. I also find it comical when they come out with a "game used" bat card for a pitcher like Nolan Ryan (in a Rangers uniform). That's my rant.

I am very close to just collecting Leaf and Panini from 2013 and forward. Fresh pics and nice looking cards. The only real problem, is they are a bit expensive due to low serial number and autos. In my opinion, they blow Topps out of the water.

Here's my recent purchases/gifts. 2013 Silk rookie relic from George. Sportsflics Superstar disc, 1997 Silver PP, 2001 Archives rookie reprint. 1996 Zenith AP and 1999 Bowman Gold both from Brad via trade. 2001 Private Stock premier date via my sister and Neil. And 1994 Finest Refractor.

Hey Rickey fans, I'm a Wes Chamberlain fan, but had a Rickey card I was curious if you hardcore collectors had - a 1991 Upper Deck #444 hologram variation featuring a '92 MLB hologram. Ever seen one?

 

[Hendersonfan]

Nope. Interested in moving?

Couple of questions for my fellow Rickey collectors. Any of you interested in trading some hard to find 90s inserts of Rickey for a 2006 topps sterling burgundy /10 Rickey? I sold the majority of my topps sterling and just have a few to unload. I also have a 2006 Topps Sterling base wrongback. It has card 51 on the front but 52 on the back. I pulled this out of a box myself. I have some low numbered 2005 absolute tott I'd part with too.

I'm feeling nostalgic I guess and kind of want to move my focus to the years collecting was more fun.

I will post some pics soon.

Let me know

I might be interested. Do you have a list, or do you want me to PM you ALL of my 90's items for trade? Do you want to include the very early 2000's (I see you like Pacific inserts and they had a good run until 2001). Also which Burgundy is it (I only have the #47 Padres, but curious as to which it is)?

Leffer, you can PM me, I'll do the same. This is card 50' Seattle Mariners. I would love to see a trade list if you have it.

Any ideas on scarcity/value? Had a Kevin Stocker that sold for a couple of bucks on Ebay once.

Depends on which card it is. Is it the regular card (rarer), or the Electric Diamond? Either way, maybe $5-$10 depending on how crazy the collector.

Its the base card.

 

[Hendersonfan]

So what color is back supposed to be? I thought silver for base and ED was copper? I know ED has silver and copper backs as I have both. Same variation for base or is this just the base card?
