i was not happy to have to pick up a Darvish when he went to the Dodgers for 9 friggin' games in 2017! That is a plight of a team collector though.
Not sure if his stuff cooled since or if there is enough of an international market to keep him higher than he should be. I see he passed 100...
Cuellar is certified, rest are TTM/IP
Spencer Haywood. Seattle's first big 3 sports star.
I need to stop watching sports documentaries. I get fired up and then go shopping. I have all the autographs usually, but I look for cards I don't have. Been buying Celtics lately because of the HBO...
I just found out last night that Baylor was a Seattle Mariners hitting coach for a season (under Mike Hargrove - 2005). I don't really follow the team closely and had no clue.
8 player relic /8 that I forgot to post earlier. They are so uninspiring, you can see how I might forget about it!
A couple more cheap Select Garvey variations
I feel as though this is an under appreciated set. Fans needed to cut these tip cards from boxes of Raisin Bran in 1979. They don't seem to come up all that often, although thankfully they are not scarce either. I have several sets, but couldn't pass up a full set of box panels and the front...
Some random stuff, but the big hit today for me is my first Cole auto on a Montgomery design, which I like a fair bit. A couple more Philly autos, although nobody significant. Also didn't have Burnes auto yet either. Nettles is a Recollection. Billups is a new NBA HOFer for my collection...
Reggie Theus and Cynthia Cooper. Another too dark background for a Topps archives card. The person who signed off on this card to be signed was a bonehead! The monikers is another Panini basketball autograph set that I have really grown to like, despite the odd color of the cards. The...
Had pretty good luck with a couple jersey match cards. I can't stomach paying a huge premium and that tends to be the case now when one shows up. The Leaf 4X auto is 6/20 and the Archives refractor is 6/299.
Then I grabbed some discounted garvey items from another garvey collector who is...
Garvey + GU /5
Eric Davis Au /25. Even after all these years, 92 Bowman looks so fresh to me because they were impossible to find. It's always the sets that are tougher to find that stick in your head as being cool.
This is the one that I have been waiting for. This will not come as a...
Garvey /25 & /32. I like to add new Garvey cards still, but I have to admit that most don't excite me the way they used to do. So many new garbage, unlicensed cards are starting to pile up, many with excessive parallels as usual. He is still considered to be my main focus, but I get more...
I don't know if there is a "complete" list. Nobody bothered to catalog these from what I can tell. There are a few threads online where people have shared addresses informally though. They are also ripe for counterfeiting though, if anyone wanted to do so. What would be truly amazing is if...
One of my more exciting Dodgerless mail days.
First off, could have posted this in the Dodger thread, but Cox is actually a dupe! I am winning duplicate Banty Red cards now. I MUST be nuts!
The next item is also a duplicate that I just discovered not that long ago. It was in a Mariners PC...
