I know it's not baseball, but this one always comes to mind.
I have cards that are probably "rarer" but I've never seen any card from this set listed. I'm not sure if they did them in basketball and baseball, but this is the only one I've seen.
Sorry for the small scan! It's numbered 11/11...
The card in question can be found here.
This card is hand numbered. Has anyone else seen this before? Other listings on eBay right now are not hand numbered. The seller claims that it is hand numbered because it was damaged when it was first pulled. The seller sent it back to UD and they...
I started collecting around 98. The home run battle made McGwire's 85 topps rookie very appealing. Never got a hold of one and the appeal has dropped over the years.

Michael Young represents a VERY small group of UCSB alumni in the MLB, so I always liked him. He played for a division rival, but always a class act and great player.
I honestly don't see this guy slowing down. The pressure doesn't seem to get to him and it looks like he hasn't developed any sort of ego. Mike Trout for President!
I've got a long project going that involves acquiring every single Topps Nolan Ryan card from 1972-1980. I have all the base cards and most of the O Pee Chee prints. I'm also looking for authenticated autos of each base card. I've also decided to include reprints, so that means 1999 Topps, 1999...
Are the Minted in Cooperstown hard to come by? I've seen both variations (bronze and gold) listed for Nomar several times. I assumed they were semi-common...
Killer! That set is epic. Wasn't that set considered "high end"? I seem to remember it being like $10-$12 a pack...it would be super fun to open a box of that stuff.
Best experience: Jim Edmonds at 1999 Spring Training.
I was in the Angels locker room and asked Edmonds to sign a ball. He happily agreed and signed the ball, but after he gave it back to me I accidentally smudged it with my thumb (I was only 8 years old and very nervous). Once Edmonds saw what...
I hope to be there with a few friends. I loved 2012 Baltimore because of the city itself and the proximity to hotels, restaurants, etc. It looks like Cleveland is the opposite - LAME!
I would pay extra to attend the national on the West Coast :p
Nice thread! The 2002 Angels really embody this idea for me...mostly players who will probably not make the HOF. I do realize, however, that's not the "best" line-up.
Halonut - you don't think Ortiz will make the HOF?
There is a book I read as a kid called Honus and Me. Its one of the reasons I took up collecting back then. I'm glad to see similar stories being made available to kids. Hopefully it will get them interested in collecting.
