    Which "worthless" set would you like to own?

    1988 Topps because it was the first set I attempted to complete back when I was 10 years old. 1988 Score, loved the different colored borders. 1990 Topps, must have opened 3 or 4 boxes of the stuff in 1990 and never completed the set, I remember getting two boxes for Christmas and sorting all...

    Have you been to a game where something significant/historical happened?

    I was at the game where Bonds hit #71 and also two days later when he hit #72 and 73. I was also at Game 1 of the 2012 World Series where Pablo Sandoval hit 3 homers.

    Just bought a storage unit of baseball cards

    I'm guessing there aren't any commons in the collection, but I'd be interested in any Robby Thompson cards.

    Dusty Baker is just AWFUL! (and is now gone)

    Dusty has always made bad calls when it comes to the pitching staff. All you need to do is watch games 6 and 7 of the 2002 World Series......f'n Dusty killed the Giants with the choices he made in those two games.

    Official San Francisco Giants Thread!!!!!

    But the Mariners wouldn't have to give up a pick since their pick would be in the top 10. I think they have the 7th worse record in baseball while the Giants have the 13th or 14th worst.

    So...I Would Like to Make Sure S.F. Giants Fans

    Great discussion going here, a couple of things to remember is that this didn't happen at the ballpark, or even terribly near the ballpark, 6 city blocks away. It took place an hour an a half after the game, after two groups of individuals had been drinking. One of the groups left the game early...

    No idea what this card is or who is on it

    So is this card a prop from the movie?

    So...I Would Like to Make Sure S.F. Giants Fans

    Press conference right now. Sounds like a group of guys started picking on the Dodger fans and the two groups went back and forth. The Giants fans had not gone to the game and the Dodger fans left the game in the 8th. Both groups in the fight were coming from bars around 11:30pm. There were two...

    So...I Would Like to Make Sure S.F. Giants Fans

    Have the police release a motive for the fight yet? The fan wearing a Dodger hat points to the rivalry but doesn't conclusively mean the end cause. It's possible the fight was brought on by any number of factors. Having said that, all sports violence has to stop. Absolutely idioct that someone...

    "Holy grail" of autographed balls tonight hardcore pawn

    My Grandpa used to own a ball signed by Ruth, Gehrig and Hank Aaron.....he got the ball from his brother in-law, Don McShane, a former Orioles scout. Unfortunately, despite my insistence on the historical value of the ball, my Grandpa sold it. He wouldn't tell me the price, just that he got...

    Not a problem, a lot of times I search Giants stadium giveaways on ebay and these sets pop up.

    "$35,000 reward"

    Those plates are still almost impossible to find. I've never seen any from the players I collect.

    The Evolution of Videogames in Baseball

    As an old-school NES guy I love Tecmo Baseball, Baseball Stars, but my favorite is Baseball Simulator 1.000. For the Sega Genesis I loved the first couple of installments of the World Series baseball franchise, liked it for thre Sega Saturn as well. For the XBox I enjoyed MVP 06 NCAA Baseball...

    Not a problem, I've got some other oddball stuff with McGee on then but have not idea where I put that box. If I run across it I'll let you know.

    Will Clark Collectors Thread

    Hopefully it shows up, my guess is it doesn't exist. As far as a team promoting a player no longer with the team, think about 2011. After the World Series win the Giants haven't paid any homage or included Edgar Renteria or Juan Uribe in any promotional items. Renteria left the Giants after the...

    Will Clark Collectors Thread

    Guys I think you can cross this off of your list. I finally got the Beckett site to work and the checklist for this set matches what I have except for the last card, that card is the last one pictured above. Beckett lists the card as 1993 Giants, Williams, Clark, Bonds, but the card I have is...

    No Clark's in the set I have, but who knows, my set might not be complete.

    Will Clark Collectors Thread

    I just pulled out the rest of the set I have, and no Clark's were included. Not sure if I don't have the complete set, or if this is a different set. Tried to look it up on Beckett, but the darn site is down. My guess is this might be a different set, the seller I bought these from tends to sell...

    late 80's early 90's cards

    I feel like the boom "peaked" in the '89-'91 range, but as a starting point, you might be right. I remember the craze really kicking off for the '86 Donruss Canseco, so the interest must have existed before then.

    Drew, I think it refers to an 8x10 set given away at a Giants game in 1994. I have these three "cards" scanned in for my Thompson collection but I'll have to dig out the complete set because I don't have any scanned for the Clark collection. I'll try to find the rest of the set this weekend and...

    Unbelieveable Redemption Replacement from Topps!

    That's because monopolies are illegal in other industries. As for the value assigned to replacement cards, why is Topps using Beckett? If they don't claim the cards will attain any specific value why would they look to a source that bases their valuation on the secondary market? The secondary...
