So, back on May 9th my wife and I had a son; Cy. I'm sure one day my PC will be his, but wanted to start putting together something eclectic he'd be able to enjoy and we could use as learning tool later on. Decided to use his birthday; 5/9, and collect for him every Topps Base card #59. Well, that went pretty quick...mission complete, all are on their way. Was too easy and unfullfilling, need to find more. So now, I've decided to go after every #59 out there.

This is where you guys come in. If you have any commons, from any set, any brand, any sport that are card #59 I would like to purchase them or trade for them. Let me know what you've got, I'll post up some pics of cards that no one is interested as I get them!

Wow, that is awesome. Would love to help out but might you make a list of the 59s you need?

This is an awesome idea! I may have to steal it when/if I have a boy to share the hobby with. I'll gladly look through my collection and see what I have. Good luck!

Perhaps you could also gather up all of the 2012 Topps Gold cards you can find that are serial #’d 59/2012. (?)

Good luck on your project.

If you want to go for a little more challenging, why not build him a nice Cy Young collection :)

Probably a good idea. You don't want to hear: "no no the Cy Young signed baseball is not a chew toy..."

Thanks [MENTION=6366]ASTROBURN[/MENTION] got 4 Bagwell's that were #59 from him. Turns out Jeff Bagwell has 8 different sets with card #59, who knew? I'm guessing no one else has ever cared to find that answer.

He actually has 44 different cards numbered 59. Most are numbered parallels, which I didnt have spares of. But I'm glad I could help with what I had!
