Tim Wakefield Thread

[bstanwood]

Two more logs on this roaring bonfire. I keep seeing new ones pop up too! Up to 22 or 23 different ones I've seen now! These two mark the 14th and 15th I've received, still have a couple in transit as well.

Nice job adding so many of them. Everything looks to be really low numbered so its nice to see them going to a good player collection. Good luck adding some more.

 

[bstanwood]

Thanks, you're right, comparatively they are pretty low numbered. Highest I've seen is /20, but more than half are /10 or less. Makes it hard to wait for the best price because who knows how many of each one I might see.

Great looking cards. It seems so odd to see Wakefield in a Pirates uni. I know he started there but he just doesn't look right.

 

[bstanwood]

I do like the early 90s half mullet though, the 94 stadium club is the best example, just top notch male grooming

Don't know if you collect memorabilia or not [MENTION=13789]bstanwood[/MENTION] but saw this nice looking g/u auto'd bat while looking for something else. https://www.ebay.com/itm/1992-93-Lo...517987?hash=item41d4f237a3:g:hXMAAOSwridaCSjJ

I have seen that one, I've talked to the seller through PMs. The price he will come down to is still higher than I want to pay. Thanks for the heads up though, I appreciate that.

I'm not an expert on game used bat prices but it did seem kind of high compared to everything else on ebay. Hopefully he'll come down more.

 

[bstanwood]

In my conversation he seemed to be playing up the auto and the break in the bat as selling points, which certainly enhances it to some degree but at the end of the day he's a pitcher, a game used bat has to be at the right price, that's not his main tool. Particularly for Wakefield who was a failed minor league first baseman, swinging the lumber wasn't his thing.

It's a double stadium club mailday! As I was snapping the picture it occurred to me that the 96 team tsc has many ink color combos, I'll have to keep my eye out, I haven't looked to see if they appear in this release.

Going through sold listings, I missed a one of one for a stupid low price a few days back, couldn't have been up for more than a few hours because I check almost compulsively...pissah.

A nice double 1/1 mailday!

Thanks, I think it pops on the silvery background real nice

 

[psj]

Awesome pickups!

 

[bstanwood]

Thanks, I've got a couple more on the way, but unless something new pops up I haven't seen yet I think I've got what I'm going to get. The highly unofficial checklist I've compiled is complete except the two 1/1s that got away from me.

I've got too many favorites from this set but I love the Topps Heritage card!! Numbers 21 and 22 for me, just one more on the way.

That Heritage is very nice. Probably my favorite so far

 

[bstanwood]

Here it is, the last one I'm expecting. 93 Topps 1/1. Puts me at owning 23 of the 25 I saw from this release with me ending up with 8 of the 10 1/1s I've seen.
