I have to agree with this one. I will forever retain hope that my guys will someday pop up, but I am not holding my breath.
Along the same lines - the 2009 Upper Deck 1989 20th Anniversary Buybacks - I am wondering if some of the players were not produced since there are a number that I have...
I was having a similar issue. It is a result of their upgrade to the marketplace over the weekend.

I wish - they are taking down the section of the Viaduct south of the stadiums and linking up the new road way they have been building over the last year and a half to the existing one starting Friday night. The Viaduct is going to be closed southbound (and only open Northbound during the day)...
I am hoping to get there since it has been a while since I have been to a show, but it is going to depend on traffic - I live in Seattle and the viaduct shutdown this weekend could make it a mess getting south.
It would be the 73 Mets if they had won - the A's beat them 4 games to 3 in 1973.
My vote would be the 1987 Twins - they had no pitching once you got past Frank Viola and should have had a losing record based on their run differential. The 88 Dodgers had an offense that was as bad as the 87...
I know of at least two other active Brian Giles collectors in addition to myself. His really low numbered stuff usually sells well, especially when at least 2 of the 3 of us don't have it in our collections. Now if you want guys who most likely aren't collected by anyone other than me, see my...
Summer has not really arrived in Seattle - we haven't had many days where the temp has been over 70 degrees (I think there may have been one or 2 Sunday games where it was over 70, heck it has been over 80 degrees for something like 14 hours this year in Seattle), so practically every one of...
I would take any guy for my team who leads the league in Avg, total bases and 2B, is second in slugging and in the top 5 in a number of other categories in a second. Oh wait, we already have him.
Just keep in mind that while Fenway has the shortest RF foul pole in the league, the wall...
While the raw numbers are impressive, the Phillies numbers over the last 5 games were against the Rockies and Rangers at Citizens Bank Park (pretty neutral in terms of advantage for the pitchers) while the numbers for the Mariners have been against the Angels and the Padres at Safeco and Petco -...
If they are still available, I would love the Brian Giles Cheveron Cards. Only really need one, but if you want to get rid of them all, I will figure out something to do with them.
As previous posters have said, the dealers at the regular shows are almost always the same, so if you are looking for older stuff (i.e. anything more than 2 years old), their inventories get pretty stale. There used to be a great show at the Tacoma Dome a couple of times a year, but that is no...
The really sad thing is that when I saw it, I immediately thought it was a white sox uni. I had completely forgotten that he played with the Phillies for a couple of seasons.
Unless you happened to be Jeff Bagwell, who have never been proven to be a juicer, yet he seems to be guilty of taking steriods in the opinion of a large number of people.
I read it a couple of years ago. It is a fun read, especially the Branca/Thompson stuff. There wasn't anything earth shattering in it, but it was interesting how the signs were relayed using 1940's technology.
I think that the card you have might be the tek color cards - those were patterns 16-20 and I know that yellow was one of the colors (and I am pretty sure it was pattern 18) they used and they were not serial numbered.
So many memorable events, the ones I was actually at:
Jeff Bagwell's only career HR in Fenway
2008 All-Star Game - all 15 innings of it
The long standing ovation for Jaques Doucet, Montreal Expos Broadcaster, during their last home game in 2002 (when it was looking like it would be their last...
