Roberto Alomar Collector's Thread
Ah OK. So these were never really distributed like most of the other issues from that era with "SAMPLE" on the back. They were circulated internally, kind of like those "executive proofs" numbered with X's (XX/50). Thanks! -
Roberto Alomar Collector's Thread
Thanks! I did not know those samles existed. Looking on ebay right now there are also samples from others besides the Studio versions. Oddly enough there's zero info about them online, even though other DLP samples from the same era are pretty well documented. Guess I'll just have to keep my... -
Official 2025 Colorado Rockies Thread
The 2025 Colorado Rockies have played 8 games, and as a result they are 7 games out of first in the NL West. The NL West is a division in Major League Baseball that somehow still allows the Rockies to partcipate in it. The Rockies have won this division exactly zero times in their entire 32... -
Roberto Alomar Collector's Thread
The PC gods have been kind to me lately. Here's the last of the runs I was able to complete over the last few weeks, 2003 DLP Player Collection. This was a "set" that was inserted into packs of other issues, kind of like 1998 Crusade. But this time they stamped each card with the logo of the set... -

Roberto Alomar Collector's Thread
In my post about the 1999 Revolution Premiere Date I mentioned I had another Pacific parallel on the way. Of course everyone on FCB was just beside themselves with anticipation to see what it could be. At least that's how I imagined it. Well, wait no longer. Behold the 2000 Pacific Omega Gold... -
Roberto Alomar Collector's Thread
Holy cow. It's been a while since we were treated to an official Haste-style research project here on good ol' FCB! You really did your homework here, and made some mind blowing connections that can no longer be ignored. I mean, you need to part of RFK Jr's staff, immediately! PS: Alomar's... -

Roberto Alomar Collector's Thread
And now for a modern issue, from 2017 Topps. I found this one for $25, and even though I've never really lusted after this card, it's a good looking issue. And it's an on-card auto numbered to /3. So what the hell, right? The thing about this one that bugs me is the back. It just consists of... -

Roberto Alomar Collector's Thread
Now for something that NOBODY cares about. Except for me, and all you other degenerates that obsess over 90's variations and miscellany. 1992 Dad's Kid Tri Cards! There are articles about how all this went down online if you're interested. But basically some dude decided to buy up a billion... -

Roberto Alomar Collector's Thread
Well not really. Since this is the "Roberto Alomar Collector's Thread", I was probably referring to the 1998 Pinnacle Plus Team Pinnacle Mirror Gold card with Roberto Alomar on it. Which I have never seen a picture of. -
Roberto Alomar Collector's Thread
This just in - another rainbow complete! And even better, it's a Pacific run. I finally found the 1999 Pacific Revolution Premiere Date /49. It's a pretty stealthy parallel. They did a circular embossed stamp on the card (which is easier to feel than see) plus a small dot matrix serial number on... -

Now that guy has a chaw in. I think he stuffed the whole pack of Red Man in there. -

I was hoping you'd hit an Alomar Quantum Leap, then sell it to me for pennies on the dollar. I suppose that was too much to ask for though :-)- banjar

That is awesome! I really like those Recollection cards too. Congrats. -
Roger Clemens' place in the Hobby........ Seriously
Come on now. I'm not saying that just because a claim was made against Clemens, it is true. What I'm saying is that just because it wasn't proven in court doesn't mean it's a lie. It's quite a solid intellectual place to stand. Let me explain. Let's imagine a hypothetical statement with the... -
Roger Clemens' place in the Hobby........ Seriously
The statement that "Clemens used PEDs" does not become a lie just because it hasn't been proven. -

Chuck! The other day when he called Kendrick Perkins an idiot, live on the air, I wanted to hug him. Love me some Chuck. -
Jonny Gomes collectors' thread
Hey, those are pretty good reasons. And it was definitely fortuitous that he was not a HOF player. They'd still be pumping out hundreds of cards a year for him. But he was fairly well known, so it's more likely that people will post his cards than those of a total nobody. Kind of the sweet... -
