I know there's not a ton of action in the football forum, though maybe a new pickup thread could spark some conversation. I got this 2001 Score Select Final Score numbered to 9 today, been a tough one to find for my Curtis Martin collection
What a great thread! Not really obscure, more of a star that fizzled a bit, I collect Ron Gant. A few other "minor stars" Darrell Porter, J.R. Richard, Greg Luzinski. I collected Todd Hundley (another star that fizzled) but gave that up years ago.
I'm a big fan of newspaper and magazine related items such as centerfold posters, special issues, etc. There are numerous "cards" that were printed in newspapers over the years, most famously probably being the Dayton News 1970 set and the 1980's Wichita Eagle Beacon Clip and Save set. I know...
The topic of parallels and rainbow came up on another board and I thought I'd ask here, anyone have complete rainbow from 1996 Select Certified they want to share?
Here's my Curtis Martin
I keep everything in binders, one binder per year with it all organized according to Beckett's checklist. Here's a terrible picture of my bookcase with my Bernie Williams and Curtis Martin collections.
There are some great displays here. Our finished attic is the home for my collection. Here are a few photos, it's a little bit of a mess right now, it seems half the fun is always rearranging and reorganizing the displays. Most of my stuff on display is from my Gary Carter and Roger Staubach...
Thanks, here are a couple more:
1981 Sports Illustrated Player of the Week award
Baseball Carter hit to drive in his 100th run in 1980, his first 100 RBI season
Here are a couple of items I picked up from the Gary Carter family auction a couple of months ago:
September 1985 Met of the Month award
1977 Expos player of the year award
Looking to add more Andy Pettitte 2016 Topps Archive Signature Series to my collection. I've got 7 so far, let me know if you have any for sale.
Thanks,
Abe
