Thanks Dan, currently working on these sets TTM/IP:
1956 Topps
2006-2013 A&G oddball cards
2007-2013 Sportkings

Also giving a lot of thought to starting a player collection ::facepalm::

 

[MojoDan]

Which players are you considering collecting?

Which players are you considering collecting?

Pretty much narrowed it down to one of these three:

Stan Musial
Cal Ripken Jr.
Greg Maddux

At this point I'm leaning towards Maddux.

Everything or just autos or inserts etc?

 

[ChasHawk]

There is ton of nice stuff out there for Maddux.

Autos are pricey though.

Exactly that.

 

[ChasHawk]

Let us know who you decide Justin.

I'll be going after everything. I realize his autos are pricey but with all the other things I'm working on currently I'll be content adding a nice card every once in a while in between base and inserts.

 

[MojoDan]

Good deal. Once you are sure about it let us know. I like all 3 players you named.

Maddux g/u is very reasonable, borderline cheap even...but he has very few autos (relative to other players of his stature) so they tend to sell high.

Thanks Dan & Charlie, I'll be sure to let you know when I make my decision.

Brad - what's with the Vlad collection? Had a very nice 3 color patch I could have sent you, but I sold it in the spring...

1) Can't find any new stuff I need for Grace and Zimmer
2) Vlad was a favorite of mine
3) His stuff is really cheap right now
4) He's got a lot of cool 1997-2005 inserts and DLP product GU cards, stuff I like
5) Only doing nicer inserts, refractors and GU cards of him in Expos uniform
6) Only buying cards I think are real good deals price-wise

Some of my GU/Auto pickups so far - haven't scanned inserts yet:

[MENTION=1866]muskiesfan[/MENTION] Joe's luck must be rubbing off on me! I won Day 4 of the Twins Social Media contest and I will be getting a free Twins hat! I would have rather won day 3 or day 5 since those days had 2014 All Star Game items signed by Joe Mauer and Glen Perkins. But I'm not going to complain about a free Twins hat

Congrats! That's awesome! I really like that teams and players do so much with social media.

Its disappointing when the other prizes were tickets, a Pedro Florimon Game Used bat, and various 2014 ASG items signed by the two 2013 Twins All-Stars, but I'm not going to complain. Especially considering I lost my Twins hat after I moved home from school back in May

 

[MojoDan]

Congrats Zac!
