Bagwell is the only player in that set I PC. I know at some point we got promos for '95 Leaf in the shop but given how close they are in appearance to the regular cards I'm not sure if I kept any of them. I wouldn't mind putting together a full set to go with my '95 Leaf sets but Bagwell would be the main one I'd be interested in.

If I had an extra 1992 High 5 prototype Bagwell, I would send it to you. Will let you know if I come across another one.

Yet another set I didn't realize he was in. Y'all are killing me.

Don't feel bad, Thomas is just as hard to collect.

Looking at your page I'd say Thomas might be worse lol.

Theer are a few that I still need.

Nice collection you have there. Awhile back I listed a 1992 High 5 prototype of Canseco with a RED 5 in the upper left corner instead of the normal Gray 5. Was wondering if you were the one who won my auction on eBay.

Thanks! I don't believe it was me, but I do have it. I still am in need of this dude here though:

Will be on the lookout for one. Did Thomas have one?

Thanks for the pic. I'll keep an eye out for it now.

Good question! I'm not sure, sorry!

Anyone know why the 1997 Score Franchise sample cards are so hard to locate?

You have this one already?

Actually leximo has several neat looking Canseco auctions live right now.

Indeed I do, thanks so much for the heads up though! I know Alexis, and we talk every now and then. I noticed a bunch of Canseco cards listed & wondered why he didn't tell me to start, lol! He is CRAZY busy it sounds like though. There are some I don't yet have, but would probably rather get them a tad cheaper because I'm typically the only buyer on these types of things of Jose's.

I usually buy him out of Jeff Fryes and Ozzies. He's always been really easy to deal with as far as making offers on auctions.
[MENTION=7453]mouschi[/MENTION] I'm going to pick your brain a bit if you don't mind since you collect proofs too. How do you store your proofs that are uncut on the vertical (meaning they are two cards tall)?

Yeah, I'm a leximo fan Generally speaking, I don't do 2 card panels - I cut them down to be JUST big enough to fit in a regular top loader. For my collection, I desire to have as many of my pieces stored in regular sized top loaders, but for proofs, I want them to easily be seen that they were not in fact just regular cards pulled from packs, so as long as I can see it is noticeably larger than a base version of the same card, but fit in the top loader, I'm good. That's how I do anyway!

Yeah, I like leaving them intact so the printing process is kept intact. 2 card horizontal panels will fit in a 4x6 4 pocket sheet so they're easy but the vertical ones won't.

I posted this in the '90s thread, but it probably more belongs here.

1998 Hamburger Helper production proof printed on white card stock, with a manufactured cut, cropping differences, and text alignment changes on the reverse.

Sweet! I actually just picked up a Kraft production proof on white card stock as opposed to the brown stock. The seller had it up forever and was asking a boatload for it, but I finally got him down.

Hostage Holder there...I gave up on seeing a reasonable price for one. There is a difference between pricing something due to limited quantity and real demand for said limited quantity item and that is definitely a specialty piece only certain buyers will find appealing.
