Recent slab pickups / grading

[2014BESTSERVICE]

Part 2 of the 2008 UD Heroes set purge is the jersey versions. Clemens had 8 possible items, 7 which I located/slabbed and the last just missed several times when life got busy. 6 were normal and two included Autos

Light Blue Jsy /200
Black Jsy /125
Red Jsy /100 own it not slabbed yet
Charcoal Jsy- unnumbered, retail only, think it might be an SP. My guesstimate on available amount is 75
Navy Blue Jsy /50
Emerald Jsy /25

Navy Blue Auto Jsy/10 (sold it)
Emerald Auto Jsy /5 never saw if it came up I was too busy to notice

SOLD THIS ONE

So doing new scans realized this next set had not been updated in my inventory to the insurance people since 2012
Let me repeat that- 2012. Last 3 inventories, which occur every 5 years, I apparently could not locate the slabs to scan. I'd sent prior scans from 7/7/2012 all 3 times. Well on my trip to storage I recently located them !

Think I opened one box back when they came out and seeing all the rookie in it just didn't appeal that much.
Info about the set is here 2007 UD SPECTRUM BASEBALL SET

The Red and Gold Die Cut are numbered to 99, while the Blue is numbered tothe players jersey number, making for some interesting low printed items. As you can see I was able to snag my guy Roger Clemens uniform # auto

Just an update I've been in talks to sell all the remaining 2008 UDHeroes items to a buyer, so those are gone. Also the 2007 UD Spectrum Blue Die Cut and the Retrospection Jsy Number auto. Thanks guys

Today gonna start w/2007 Sportkings. Lucky I even got any of these. I was moving cross country at the time. Gold were idiot priced 100 or over and I couldnt bring myself to spending that on air brushed items with no team logos. Concentrated on Silver and "tried" for a few dual / triple jersey. In the end was able to snag 6 of 10 Silvers, including a National Convention show item. My peeps know I live for show items

Most of these are low print run items so all in all was happy with what I did buy. Never really went back on ebay after 2018 honestly as I concentrated on emptying storage units and beginning sales so I could save $$ and enjoy life.

Auto Silver = 99 print run
Red Sox + Yankees jerseys= 90 print run
Mattingly Dual Jersey silver = 20 print run
Patch Silver = 20 print run
National Patch Silver is a 1/1

Enjoy

Wont be selling this set unless offered decent $$ as its condition sensitive. Instagram cuts off the Silver, so go to Facebook to see it better, but these 2007 Upper Deck Predictors were a nuisance to finish. Most sellers only sold teams. Astros were a cheap buy. By the time the Silvers came out , Clemens was a Yankee again, and that team set had Jeter, Matsui, Posada plus my guy Clemens and at least 3 minor stars . The team sets were 60-75 easily. The silver is also a Gem 9.5

Enjoy

So here we go again with this box from storage. Another set I couldnt find last 3 inventories and last saw in 2012 . These are from the 2007 Upper Deck Artifacts set. My guy Roger Clemens had 14 cards. I've owned 12, and found 11 of them. Missing just my patch card. Who knows where I put that one

Going to break it down post wise while I scan and do other things. Gonna nap and post office it when I wake also

Part 1 = Antiquity / Awesome Artifacts
The Base /199 and the Gold

Also the Jumbo Awesome Artifacts/50, along with the Autofacts, which is unnumbered . I can tell you theres no more than 100 floating around based on years of observation.

I'll scan the Divisional Artifacts next and save the MLB Apparel group for last. Of the 14 vards possible the two I never owned were the Apparel auto and the 1/1 Apparel item

 

[2014BESTSERVICE]

Part 2 of the 2007 Upper Deck Artifacts is the Divisional Artifacts subset. Consisted of 4 game used variations with an Auto added to one

Base Jersey/199
Gold unnumbered
Limited Jersey/130
Autograph Jersey /25

Will scan and finish up with the MLB Apparel soon
Enjoy

In the box where I've located my missing sets found another subset I never inventoried. So lets do it now. 2007 SPX Winning Materials subset

Ok to start = base items. Says I should have 7, with 5 of them graded. Found the 5 graded, missing the two raw

BASE ITEMS LIST/ STATUS
≈====≈===============÷==
Bronze /199 graded
Gold /199 graded
Silver /199 graded
Blue /175 graded
Green /175 graded
Gold /99 raw= missing
Silver/99 raw = missing

Looks like a project this week will be to locate the two raws so I can knock em off

Rest are going in the 2014bestservice feebay store in the next 24 hrs

Enjoy

Part 2 of the 2007 SPX scans now done. OPG says there should be 4 Winning Materials Duals. I found 3 and know I never tried finding the fourth

Gold Dual / 50 = graded
Silver Dual /50 = graded
Bronze Dual /25 = graded

Missing is the Dual Green /15 which I never bothered going back to locate

Going in my 2014bestservice feebay store when I get that far

Enjoy

Confirmed=

Gold Patches /99 = slabbed
Silver Patches /99 = slabbed
Bronze Patches / 50 = slabbed

Ok bringing the thunder to end the inventory. OPG checklists lists 4 printing plates which I frankly never saw . Leaves two autos = a Gold /15 and the Blue Platinum/10.

Attached the Platinum Auto/10. Dont ask it's already spoken for

Never went online to check on the green been too busy since 2018. So all in all came up with 13 of a possible 17 ( less 4 plates) back when

Enjoy

Many thanks to #PSA for the quick turn around and fix of my mis-labeled Longevity Blue ( no such animal in thus series). Now in the correct Target Longevity Sapphire label

About to list some BGS Wade Boggs with the National approaching and grading backed up for 6 months everywhere.

In 1995 Topps once again tried a variation on bringing a 3D variation of cards to the masses. These Topps Embossed have surfaces raised a la Playoff Portraits. Cannot really see or experience until in hand, but this design never caught on and was financially not really profitable. Lasted one year.

Zenith in 1996 = too dark for me. Backs were the best designed. Fronts bland.

Always been a fan of Chrome, and having game used Chrome grade this high was great. Those who grade Chrome can attest how annoying the slightest surface issues just glare and scream down grade

Bunch of WBC related 2006 Upper Deck items. He also had two in UD Special F/X I'm not gonna dig out of another box. Will show when I get that far.

He has a WBC patch item /8 where the outside of the jersey box is Gold and inside is a WBC related patch. Have seen one authentic one. Plenty of fakes

More to follow this weekend gonna be busy as hell

Enjoy

Two more scans, these from 2006 Fleer, which not much got out due to the 2005 bankruptcy. These Team Fleers are expensive inserts when found. You'll find more Hot Numbers out in the wild. Think I have some special stuff really buried from prior years that were one off / prototypes

Enjoy and like I said tons of scans and listings soon starting
