Sweet Naztys.
I was at Fri/Sat games (still had my nuts after the home opener's 25 degree weather, but just barely).
More psyched to be visiting my brother in DC this coming weekend, with tickets to Fri/Sat Rox-Nats games.
Seemed you were going alphabetical there for a bit, but I'm sure there are more. If you want my few IP autos of Twins players, pm me your address. Happy to send to a team collector.
On Twins MLB cards, I have:
Chip Hale (1990 Score RC!)
Gary Wayne (91 Donruss w John 14:6 inscription)
If you...
The thing is, you can't allow it at all. I mean, I don't think we can ever really know if Rose bet against hs own team directly, but we can deduce that his decision making was different in games that he had money on and games that he did not. Like, if he bet on his own team occasionally, and not...
Amen! I am totally with you here, man. I tell this to people all the time. If we extended PED use to its natural conclusion, the game on the field would probably become a better product and even more competitive overall (there are still issues with allowing drug use, which include the effect on...
Very nice Scott! Cards and 3x5s, well done.
I have certified cards of all four, but I still haven't moved my pics from photobucket so I can't show them off.
Some random thoughts:
Selling can be a hobby too, one that feels good (just don't kill yourself by focusing too much on sell vs buy prices). I can tell you that I collected as a kid in the early-to-late 80's (like so many others). Stopped collecting in high school (because girls were kind of...
Ubaldo Jimenez came in 3rd in 2010. He had a fantastic year, including a no-hitter. I felt he deserved more recognition for that year's performance; the way that everyone wants to discount Rockies hitters' stats because they play in Coors, they should have been bumping Jimenez up because he...
Those 71s are TOUGH when it comes to grading, but I do love that design, along with the cheesy lettering in '72 and overall look of '73. But in the end, 1975 is too great to pass over. I love the color combinations, and the great rookies in the set just seal the deal for me.
1975 is the only...
I worked there for two years and want to back this up. Whenever I see someone say "The people at Topps are doing ______" I always want to answer "No, they don't have that much of a plan. The issue is that a bunch of underpaid, hungover jabronis are making these cards." I used to be one of those...
1990 Topps Rickey Henderson went down to .15? That means my brick of 3000 of them just lost $150 in value?!
I joke, but remember when you could buy bricks of a single card like that? 1988-1990 was the height of that. I have a 1000 1989 Mark Lewis RCs in my childhood closet. My dad and I thought...
If genuine, it is a good pickup for 600. The Robinson on the sweet spot is great, but you also have a nice HOFer in Arky Vaughn on there. As you point out, the quality of ball drops the value a bit. I think it looks legit, but can't see it that well, especially the Robinson because of the glare...
