It has been ages since I posted in this thread (Belle was only in 2000 and 2001) but landed a freaking monster for my PC, thought I'd share

Pretty cool to see the Topps hologram sticker on the back too. Card is crazy nice in hand.

Here are the eBay scans:

It amazes me sometimes how little research people do for items on eBay. That seller left a ton of $$$ on the table with that one.

And left a ton of $$$ in my Paypal that I didn't have to spend to buy it!

I grabbed this one a while back. Pretty cheap BIN because of a touched corner.

Love the 2000 Legacies; still looking for a Griffey

[MENTION=3754]MansGame[/MENTION] - stunning 1/1 Belle and awesome pickup! Never seen one of those before.

In 2003, Topps All-Time Fan Favorites bought back 13 different Don Zimmer vintage Topps cards, had Zim sign the cards, and issued them as "Don Zimmer Auto Proofs" Numbering was between 1 and 24 copies per card. These are kind of my holy grails for my Don Zimmer collection. I landed the 1959 card last night. It's my third card from the set, joining his 1961 and 1964 cards. Love having him in a Dodgers uniform! Cards are hand numbered, embossed with 2003 Vintage Card stamp, and hologram sticker on back.

I've only seen a few Blues pop up, would love to find a Glaus but not holding my breath.

happened to be in the DFW area for work. stayed at a hotel, and as i was researching i saw that the Beckett offices were literally a 3min drive from the hotel. so i dropped some cards off. had been a LOOOONG time since i actually submitted anything for grading.

thought this card looked pretty nice in hand, but i was worried about edge / corner grading given the deckled edge. but, i thought it looked pretty clean.

Stunning card. The only downside is you need to change your screen name to gradeinflator!

 

[gradedeflator]

LOL. yeah in hindsight i wish i could change my handle. my screen name actually just comes from the fact that i'm a tough overall evaluator of things, and i hate "grade inflation' - whether it be in schools, job evaluations, etc.

Love your finds! I regularly mine your sportlots inventory.

Killer Chipper. A very under-respected card.

The Power Up Blues and the 2003 UD Victory Purples (and Reds) are easily a few of the least-respected impossible to find parallels from that era. Such a cruel thing for UD to do, put impossible to find cards in failed kids products!

 

[predatorkj]

Those Victory purples are like freakin ghosts. I have the power up rainbow. Never even seen a Victory Purple. That's how often they don't pop up!
