Glad you and MrMet enjoyed the cards - It's nice to be able to give back. Everyone on this board has been so generous to me since I joined! This is definitely the best group of collectors on the internet. And I will definitely be more than happy to take any Larkin's off your hands ;)
I finally picked up a copy of this card: 1999 Skybox Autographics Barry Larkin Blue Ink Version #3/50. It was listed as a 99 cent auction, and I messaged the seller to see if he would add a buy it now option. He agreed to and a I snatched it up. I think it was a fair price for both sides...
Picked up these recently for my Larkin collection - thought I would share here (3 of the 4 are recent pickups anyway)

DeliciousBacon & @ oiccup41 - Both of your packages were sent out this morning. I will PM you the tracking, as the packages are large and may not fit in your mailboxes
@ MansGame - Glad you enjoyed the cards! I'll keep an eye out for your package
This is exactly correct on the silvers. I bought an entire set to get the Larkin. Sold the 2 Jeters for over $100. A lot of collectors didn't know about these because Beckett didn't add the variation to their database until years after the release (sometime between 2005-2006 I believe). I...
@oiccup41 - I have the remaining 1970's cards that weren't claimed together and ready to go. It is a very large lot - right around 1,000 cards. I'll shoot you a PM shortly.

Glad you enjoyed the cards Jeff - It's nice to send them all to people who will appreciate them. I got the Larkin in the mail yesterday. It's a very nice looking card. Thanks again!!
Thanks Greg - Glad you enjoyed them. I got the Larkin's in the mail yesterday and I was pleasantly surprised!! There were some really nice cards in there - definitely more than I was expecting!! Thanks again!
Update on the '70's cards I am sending out to several people.

You never know - The Cooperstown promo was the last card I needed for Larkin through 1995 and I picked it up a few months ago. Sweet pickup on the Silver card - I bet that thing feels pretty heavy in hand!
Greg Cleveland and kemputer - Just mailed your cards out today. Sent them media mail, so they may take a few days to get there. Please let me know when you get them.

I see this thread has gotten buried a little bit, I picked up quite a few nice Larkin's recently - Here are some of my favorites from the last couple weeks of pickups:
2000 E-X Essential Credentials Now (28/36)
Pacific Copper #114A POR Barry Larkin - Portrait Version (48/99)
2000 Vanguard...
I've picked up a ton of Larkin's I needed lately (including a huge lot of 50+ that I didn't have), but haven't posted anything in a while. Figured I would show a few off. The real big one came from a board member here - Thanks again for helping me out to add that one to my collection :)
1997...
Cool - It may take we a week or 2, but whatever is left over will be going to you and oiccup41. Just wanted to make sure you weren't putting together a set in really nice condition before I sent them. I'll keep you posted.
Nice Card! - Larkin has 8 Dual cards (4 with Ripken and 4 with Griffey). That is not including the 2 Black Stitch 1/1's. I have 7 of the 8 now, and that Dual Larkin/Griffey glove is the only one I still need. It looks pretty sharp with the Silver pen that Griffey used. Looks much cooler than...
