    Player collectors with 1000+ different cards come on in

    I just hit over 1,000 earlier this year with the Cruz collection. Currently at 1,119 of 1,671 66.9%. Of the 552 I need, 305 are not 1/1's or Tek Diffractors. Once I track those down it'll be nice to just sit back and wait for 1/1's to pop up.

    Sportsbuy closing down

    Have you used it lately? Wrong names, wrong information, missing insert names. Not sure how fast it will get better when people are clicking as quick as they can entering info to get that fraction of a cent. I loved what COMC used to be. Found a lot of great stuff there. I'm just not sure...

    Flair Legacy Masterpiece (Fleer Bankruptcy)

    I was offered the Cruz Row 0 one through Blowout. Not sure what to think of them or what to even offer on one.

    Sportsbuy closing down

    I too found a few gems there over the years. I wonder how much longer until COMC meets the same fate. That place is a mess now.

    At what point does your collection become an obsession?

    It's still definitely a work in progress. More ideas than time lately but that's what retirement is for, in 30 years or so. :D I have been there in the past month. Added about 100 cards to the collection and that's just how it was. Couldn't wait to see that % go up. Thank you for the...

    At what point does your collection become an obsession?

    My Cruz collection became an obsession right around the time I realized that I could potentially complete it (minus 1/1's of course). Since then I've gone all out nuts compiling a detailed wantlist that features the locations (sites) of the last cards I need. Of the 305 left for me to acquire...

    Topps has COA's????

    Yup, they are real. My Cruz contract extension came with one: That came in this envelope:

    Built a player website? Know websites? Share your thoughts and recommendations!

    I use the free version of Weebly for my Cruz page and it's worked well for what I need out of it. Collection list, want list and scans broken down by type then year. Easy to update and displays well on my phone. Couldn't ask for more.

    Oh Super Sweet 90's Inserts.... #3

    Was just going through COMC and saw these listed: http://www.comc.com/Cards/Baseball/1998/Donruss_Signature_Series_/NA/Javy_Lopez/2186020 Guy has 64 of the 100 on there. That's crazy!

    The 1998 Topps Tek Thread

    Just realized I'm only 9 away from the Cruz base set. Anyone have any of these? 1998 Topps Tek #62 Patterns: 13, 16, 20, 22, 30, 52, 73, 74, 89

    My Cruz jersey #'s: My Cruz first runs. Anybody got the 1999 Skybox Thunder Rave 001/150 of Cruz? Could really use it, lol.

    Oh Super Sweet 90's Inserts.... #3

    I picked up the 4 Cruz coins I needed. Just need the Solid Silver and 1/1 Solid Gold ones now. I was surprised with how many were listed. Looked like a complete master set of brass AP, nickel, nickel AP, gold plated and gold plated AP.

    Oh Super Sweet 90's Inserts.... #3

    Those are VERY nice! Post those scans in here. If ever a set of 3 cards deserved to be added to multiple posts, those are them.

    Oh Super Sweet 90's Inserts.... #3

    The great Executive Crusade mass listing along with the Donruss Elite Status and Leaf Diamond Axis test issue listings last year really surprise me. Crazy how such large groups of these can sit dormant for so long then just pop up one day at reasonable prices. One of the great mysteries of...

    Oh Super Sweet 90's Inserts.... #3

    Here's what I've been able to snag of Cruz over the years: I believe the Executive Samples were $90 for Red, $60 for Purple and $40 for Green when they hit COMC. I paid about double for them afterwards since I missed out on the initial insanity. From what I've read, the Series 2...

    Oh Super Sweet 90's Inserts.... #3

    Got around to scanning some recent Cruz pickups. Both replacements from Donruss Signature: A Gold Plated Coin from Pinnacle Mint: My 14th Diffractor: And a triple and double of stuff I already have but couldn't pass up for the price:

    UPDATE (69 boxes !!) 90s Box Break AIC / RStadlerASU22 - 8:17pm 9/23

    I kinda like it this way. It's like I'm opening the packs myself, or just 1 jumbo of Blue Jays players.

    1997 Bowman's Best Jose Cruz Jr Auto Autograph Proof w No Auto | eBay If the story is true, at least it explains where they came from. Even though I need it, no way I'm paying $250 when these cost me $20 each a few years back.
