Yesterday Andruw Jones hit his 422 career HR. I was able to snag a ticket, putting my total now at 300 tickets out of a possible 378. It has become increasingly difficult to find tickets I need from past years, so this project may take a lifetime to complete. Regardless, I am happy to have...
I don't really like the term super player collector either. Lucky for me Fandruw25 has a way better collection that I don't ever have to worry about having the title.
A buddy of mine is doing a 2005 Donruss Master set and he has all 20 base and 19 of 20 rainbow refractors. Only missing the Jeter.
So yes, the Larkin regular version exists.
Yeah, it is a true parallel. I looked at the checklist on beckett and there doesn't seem to be any method to how they chose what card had this version? The card numbers with this version go throughout the whole set too.
Here is the base version:
So I get a PM from a member asking what black I needed. He replies back saying unfortunately he didn't have the one I needed, but had a few extras to send me. Fast forward today, I open the package to find the last black I needed. Very pleasant surprise and yet another act of kindness from a...
Not sure where the gold background and silver lettering came from. But I do know the red lettering one you have is by far the rarest of the three. Many, including myself had always assumed the gold background and silver lettering ones were from the redemption framed set. But it would make...
While this is a great discussion, the years players become eligible may ultimately decide whether or not they are a 1st ballot HOFer.
For example, Glavine is 1st eligible in 2014. Same year Maddux and Thomas are also 1st eligible (both 1st ballot in my opinion). I think that greatly hurts...
He supposedly admitted using steroids to a reporter once, but I assume that was off the record. I don't doubt he used steroids personally, but his name hasn't been drug through the mud like others, so I think he will likely get in next year. Although the voters could continue to make an...
I realize you could only use 10 names, any reason you chose not to use Piazza? I assume you left out Bonds, Sosa, and Clemens due to steroid ties.
Either way, I think Piazza will be a 1st ballot guy.
I forgot, strikeout rates are all that matter today? They are also the only way you compare players today. How silly of me.
Coming from the same guy who thinks that Montero being a career DH won't affect his card values?
