Dilferules's 1988-present Oakland A's autograph thread
One upgrade, out of 2025 Topps: Brady Basso - This upgrades a TTM/IP minor league team set card. Still at 797/801 for '88-'24 and 988/1110 for the complete Oakland years.- Dilferules

March 2025 Pickups
A friend found a card packed away in an old box in his house and I actually didn't have it! 1993 Donruss Elite Supers Dennis Eckersley 2517/5000. And from eBay, 2004 Ultra Platinum Medallion Eric Byrnes 50/66 and 2004 Bowman Heritage Mahogany Brad Sullivan 22/25. For whatever reason 2004 has...- Dilferules

February 2025 Arrivals
I checked and I do have that one. I think the Ben Grieve Preview is the last 1998 Donruss Signature A's auto card I need.- Dilferules

February 2025 Arrivals
Here's one I couldn't resist: 1999 UD MVP Super Script AJ Hinch 13/25. I only have 3 of the 7 A's in the set, these are pretty tough.- Dilferules

February 2025 Arrivals
Most of them are on a couple of plastic shelving units like you would normally put in your garage, in my office/"man cave" room. 34 3200-count boxes, 13 3-row toploader "shoeboxes", and a few two-row graded card boxes. I catalog them on TCDB. I'm at 53,682 different A's cards currently but...- Dilferules

Dilferules's 1988-present Oakland A's autograph thread
20 bombs in the late '70s wasn't too shabby, but certainly looking at his career through a modern lens does him no favors. 12 seasons with a career WAR of negative 6.5 is...not good. And aside from the 20 games in 1984, his 4 seasons with the A's stunk. I saw somewhere that he has the...- Dilferules

Jonny Gomes collectors' thread
I've seen other sets that seem to be from that company. Here's a Trent Dilfer card, there's a listing on eBay calling it "Hero Decks" so I'm not 100% sure it's the same company but they look awfully similar. I don't know how they were distributed. The back is not a bunch of Ravens logos, it's...- Dilferules

Dilferules's 1988-present Oakland A's autograph thread
A few pickups to report. Trying to cut down on card spending so there won't be too many additions this year, but maybe some stuff here and there. I know there is one A's auto in 2025 Topps that would be an upgrade and not expensive so you'll see that here at some point. Doc Medich - Was...- Dilferules

February 2025 Arrivals
My card buying is really going to slow down for the foreseeable future due to employment uncertainties, but here's a pile I got in over the past month and a half or so. I'll post from time to time as I pick up any high priority items that don't break the bank, but I'm going to stay away from...- Dilferules

Showing some vintage
As the resident A's collector I can confirm Rube Oldring in fact had a head: Not the greatest head ever, but it's a head. Glad to be of service, since I'm sure you were all wondering.- Dilferules

Dilferules's 1988-present Oakland A's autograph thread
One addition and one upgrade. Devin Sweet - This 2024 Topps Chrome Update auto upgrades an uncertified Mariners signed card. Dock Ellis - Here's how 1977 went for Ellis: 1.83 ERA in 3 starts for the Yankees, traded to the A's with 2 guys that stunk for Mike Torrez, 9.69 ERA in 7 starts for the...- Dilferules

January 2025 Arrivals
Let's start this pile off with some Christmas presents from my wonderful wife: 1999 Ultimate Victory Parallel 100 Eric Chavez finishes off that team set. I still need a couple of the lower-tier unnumbered parallels, though. Valo is only my second 1948/49 Leaf card. Then another Chavez, 2008...- Dilferules

Based on past releases, the 2024 set isn't due to be out for another 6-8 months. Plenty of time left. :rolleyes:- Dilferules

2024 Hobby Goals: Year in Review
I didn't set defined goals this year, but I did continue to try to complete some A's team sets I liked.
