Big props to everyone involved, this really is the best community out there! Hoping like heck you can find the missing pieces and complete the rainbow!
Said this on BO, going to say it here - why is one of the best players in baseball, PAUL F'ing GOLDSCHMIDT, not in this checklist, but Addison Reed and Aaron Hill can make it in? i know veterans are not the focus of this product, but seriously?
EDIT: Uhhh, Mike Trout isn't in the base checklist...
Finally, confirmation that the Justin Upton does exist! I've been searching for one for years to complete the D-backs set. Good to know it was made.
Awesome seeing them all together, hope you can snag that Koufax at some point!
Last card I needed to finish this rainbow - threw in a bid that i considered beyond ridiculous...still lost - I've never seen a Goldschmidt Super (barring the 2011 of course) go for more than around $200. I think I'll be moving out of the Goldschmidt game at this point, his cards are just too...
Interesting...I like it a lot, but I also enjoy putting together the Topps Black parallel set every year, so curious to see what they do with that. But Acetate's have kind of trumped Black for me lately, and those would look great with this design. Pretty excited!
I'd be good with the TC colors...
Hey! It is a three team race if you haven't noticed, those Giants aren't alone in 2nd place ;)
I'd pick the Astros, fun to see them doing so well with such low expectations.
$78! Good lord, I also need to go on an Ebay diet - luckily this is an improvement from the $230 I got 1st quarter. Hoping to stay under $30 this quarter!
Love 2000 Finest Golds! Can never decide if I like 1999 or 2000 better - I like that 1999's were serial numbered, but the design is really sleek on the 2000's.
Maybe I'm crazy (actually, pretty likely I am!), but when did Topps stop producing Golds? I see them in '13, '14 and '15, so looks like it's never stopped. Very cool set to assemble though, it's nice to have something that's run so continuously!
I hate Keith Law with a passion, but I am 100% with him. Nothing to say that hasn't been said :mad:
An absolutely clueless, cheap organization. Future continues to get dimmer and dimmer.
If Brandon Webb hadn't gone the injury route, I imagine he would've eventually played for a different team at some point. I would've stopped collecting him but continued to pick up stuff in a Diamondbacks uniform. I'm a team collector first and foremost, so that obviously influence it as my...
I've actually always had a bit of attachment to this set - 1999 UD MVP came out right when I was getting into collecting and I remember buying a bunch of packs at a Sports Authority.
Overall, nothing remarkable as you mentioned, but for some reason I've always liked it for it's simplicity and...
Not to mention Patrick Corbin's card in S2 shows him looking a little...not like himself
