How to find 2004 Spring Training information?
I just bought a signed Jonny Gomes ROMLB with an early signature. The ball is significant because he added "60" at the end of his name. This is the number he wore in the majors during the short time he played in 2003 and 2004; the ball is the only one I've seen signed by him with that number... -

Two non-1/1s off the want list—first time since 2022
Note: If you have an idea of where a 2015 Topps Heritage Lance McCullers blue back might be, please let me know (explained below). My Jonny Gomes non-1/1 wants list has been extremely short for the last decade, and composed of cards that are either exceptionally rare, or that might not even... -

2002–03 Just Minors executive proofs?
Update: As noted below (at post #9), the same seller also listed versions of the Justifiable black /50, and Just Prospects gold /500, that appear to be numbered x/50 and x/500. I've added photos of these to the post. Does anyone have any information about these cards? According to the... -

Is it or isn't it? (Update: Whale landed! 2006 Upper Deck Special F/X blue)
A lot on eBay popped up a few days ago, listed as a "Lot of 22 Jonny Gomes Baseball Cards - Rookies & Jersey Relic." $15 with shipping; I purchased it almost immediately. The photo of the lot is below. Anyone see what I saw? (No, I don't mean Yan Gomes posing as Jonny Gomes.) And—if so—do... -

Japanese baseball cards
Does anyone have any ideas for how to track down copies of Japanese baseball cards? From what I can tell, Gomes has two 2016 cards from his short stint with the Rakuten Eagles. First, there's what TCDB describes as "2016 Tohoku Rakuten Golden Eagles Team Issue." Then, there's the "BBM Eagles... -

Do printing plates exist for 2006 Upper Deck Artifacts Awesome Artifacts?
Does anyone know if Upper Deck released printing plates for the 2006 Upper Deck Artifacts Awesome Artifacts set? They're included on my checklist, but I can't seem to find evidence of them. Indeed, they don't seem to be listed on other online checklists, such as Beckett, Baseballcardpedia... -

Who's this player? 2013 Red Sox
Does anyone recognize the player in the red pullover? Two more photos of him (from the same celebration) are here and here. Using the first photo above, the video here, and the uniform numbers here, I think the other players are Allen Webster (far left; #64 seen in photo), Ryan Lavarnway... -

This game used bat is Chuck Norris Approved
The pictures say it all, pretty much. This bat, a 2015 Victus bat used by Jonny Gomes while with the Braves, appeared on eBay two weeks ago, and arrived today. I've heard of Gomes doing cool things with his bat barrels--his pink mother's day bat with the Rays apparently said "Momma Gomes," and... -

A decade later, it's mine
On September 16, 2009, Jonny Gomes hit his 20th and final home run of the season. The shot came on "Hal McCoy Day," honoring the retirement of the 37-year veteran sportswriter who covered the Reds. Gomes, who had told McCoy that he would try to hit a home run for him that day, presented him with... -

Is Beckett authentication a thing?
Hadn't heard of them before, but just stumbled across this Jonny Gomes ball on eBay. It's always possible that it's real, but it's not something I would have authenticated. -

2016 Topps All-Star Fanfest stamped cards, what's the story?
Looking at a couple of these cards on eBay. They're base 2016 Topps cards, but with foil stamping on the front ("ALL STAR GAME 2016," with the MLB logo between the "20" and the "16"). Are they legit? How were the handed out, and is there a stated/assumed print run? -

Remember when guys used flashlights on A&G rip cards?
Unopened packs may someday no longer hide their secrets. Would be totally impractical to use on an A&G rip card, but you can imagine guys with unopened 1952 Topps packs clamoring to use this technology. New Tech Could Read Books Without Opening Them In layman speak, the article is titled... -

2002 ESPN/Valvoline Hudson Valley Renegades
Beckett doesn't list this set, but Dave Weber lists a 2002 ESPN Hudson Valley Renegades set in his MiLB card database. Another site (instant replay sportscards) lists a "Hudson Valley Renegades (Stadium giveaway set: Valvoline Instant Oil Change/ESPN Radio WEOK 1390,WALL 1340)," with Shawn... -

Recent Jonny Gomes pickups: Jersey # Rainbow
Merry Christmas guys! Yesterday saw my scanner and me spending some quality time together, and these Gypsy Queen minis are so cool I wanted to share. I hadn't noticed until then that all four of them are serial numbered 5, which was Gomes's jersey number with the Red Sox. Normally getting one... -

2002 Topps Pristine Refractors
Were these things only issued in uncirculated form, or were they issued in regular packs as well? My understanding is that they came uncirculated as box toppers; yet so many of them have shown up without the plastic cases that it seems as if they may have come loose in packs as well. -

Player Collectors: What % do you have of your player's total print run?
With there being a general dearth of new Gomes cards to pursue, I've begun picking up more and more duplicate serial numbered cards. A shipment of about 200 of these arrived today from COMC, and that got me wondering: How many total serial numbered Gomes cards have been produced, and how many do... -

2015 Topps Heritage High #s Wood Grain Front/Glossy Back
Anyone have any of these? Brentandbecca had some of them up for sale, including a Gomes for a $30 BIN which I hit after sitting on for a day. Doing so may turn out to be one of the best card purchases I've made: this thing is practically impossible to distinguish from a regular base card, even... -

Identifying a team signed baseball, can anyone help out?
It's a 2005 Tampa Bay Devil Rays ball, and I'm stuck on two or three signatures. Can anyone give an assist? I'm wondering if the one above Cantu (@r2d2) could be a second Orvella signature. Roster: http://www.baseball-almanac.com/teamstats/roster.php?y=2005&t=TBA SS: Lou Piniella (Manager)... -

Rainbows with all 1/1s
I could have sworn there was a thread on this a number of months ago, but I'm having no luck digging it up. Has anyone been able to put such a set together, including each 1/1 (printing plates and whatever else)? I'm close on a few sets, but never really expected to do it: until yesterday, that... -

eBay no longer allows searches by bidder's wins?
Whenever I try to search for completed listings by bidder (i.e., find the items a user has won), it now takes me to that user's general profile. Is this a permanent change? Anyone know of any workarounds? -

Got a game used grail
Had a really cool mailday today, and I wanted to share it. I have a bunch of game used bats and jerseys of Jonny Gomes, but I've always wanted two items in particular: a game used home run baseball, and a game used hit by pitch baseball. The first one speaks for itself a bit, since Gomes tends... -

Where were these pictures taken?
First card is a 2003 Topps Bazooka of Joey Gomes, second card is a 2002 Bowman of his brother, Jonny Gomes. Some sort of developmental league? Neither player had made it to the majors at that point, but they're both in Tampa Bay Devil Rays uniforms. I don't think they're from a fall league...
