Dilferules's 1988-present Oakland A's autograph thread
A couple of reliever pickups, but I'm also down another one with the debut of Tyler Nevin (got something on the way for him). Michael Kelly - So so in 4 appearances so far. Mitch Spence - Rule 5 pickup has been okay through 2 appearances. Now at 776/781 for 1988-present and 955/1,088 for the...- Dilferules

Dilferules's 1988-present Oakland A's autograph thread
Seems like a good end point for this project at the end of this season since they'll no longer be the "Oakland" A's. I'll keep trying to finish up all the Oakland players; for Sacramento and Vegas I'll try for any guys that actually establish themselves on the team but won't worry about...- Dilferules

Dilferules's 1988-present Oakland A's autograph thread
The expected 0-3 start for the A's, with all 5 of the remaining new guys getting into games now. In addition to the 3 below, I have reliever Mitch Spence on the way, however fellow reliever Austin Adams is nowhere to be found...there's a DIFFERENT Austin Adams that's easy, but the A's guy...- Dilferules

One that's familiar to the message board...2015 Bowman paper prospect auto Gray? Platinum? Black? 1/1 Chris Jensen courtesy of @UMich92 - thanks! I have to be on the lookout for the Red/5 at a fair price to complete the rainbow. 2020 Bowman Chrome Prospect Autograph Refractor/499 Robert...- Dilferules

Dilferules's 1988-present Oakland A's autograph thread
Opening day yesterday brought 4 new A's. I've already picked up 3 of them and have the 4th (reliever Michael Kelly) on the way. TJ McFarland was also a pickup that played last night but I already had him from his prior A's stint in 2020. JD Davis - Late pickup to start at third base after he...- Dilferules

Another 2024 '89 auto. 2016 Topps Vintage Mark Canha 15/99 gets me within 5 of completing the team set. Somebody put a bunch of signed '88 Topps cards up on eBay recently and I was able to grab Jeff Dedmon and Mark Clear, the last two "common" autographs I needed. Neither guy is an...- Dilferules

March 2024 Arrivals
2003 Topps Tribute World Series Gold/100 is one of those randomly popular sets that goes for a little more than you think it would. Glad to get the Reggie, though I'm still 4 short of a team set. The Tyler Soderstrom Refractor auto was a $100+ card not very long ago, but he kind of crapped his...- Dilferules

Roberto Alomar Collector's Thread
Eric Chavez was in that set but I only have the two smaller relics, not the big huge bat /50 (he also has an auto version of that one /50). Great cards. I do have this one from 2002:- Dilferules

Somewhat Embarrassing Find - A's 1/1
That one might be too embarrassing even for me! ha. Of course I do own the base, Silver/499, Purple/250, Blue/150, Green/99, and Gold/50 versions just because. But not the Red/5, that would just be silly. TCDB does not list a 1/1 parallel but Beckett does list a Black 1/1...looks more gray...- Dilferules

March 2024 Arrivals
New 2024 '89 auto of Eckersley. 2007 UD Black "base card" of Dan Haren 47/75 completes the small team set. 1933 Goudey Dib Williams gets me 3 away from the team set, but two of those are Jimmie Foxx cards that sell for quite a bit. Lastly, the first addition to my signed '88 Topps set in a...- Dilferules

Roberto Alomar Collector's Thread
Sweet picture...I got curious about it since around this time the A's wouldn't have had a third baseman with that skin color very often. It looks like this is from April 11, 1994 - the only day game Toronto played in Oakland in 1994. Scott Brosius had started at third for the A's but was...- Dilferules

March 2024 Arrivals
Big '90s pickup for me: 1998 Elite Master Craftsmen Ben Grieve 046/100. As you would expect for a 1998 card /100, these don't show up too often. The last time I saw one was several years back, I really wanted it but I was outbid. That was what kind of turned me around to start actually...- Dilferules

Nice! I don't go for all the parallels from that set, but I still can't find the dang Tim Hudson sticker. Like you said, obscure and nobody collected it.- Dilferules

2024 Topps products print run projections…
1987 through 1991, probably 5 to 10 times as much were printed for each base card. Minimum. Conversely, the print runs for base Topps are much higher in recent years than they were around 2006-2016, in between when GU cards oversaturated the market and went cold without a good follow-up that...- Dilferules

Dilferules's 1988-present Oakland A's autograph thread
Marcus Jones (1 MLB game in 2000, no MLB cards), and from 2023 relievers Angel Felipe and Devin Sweet. I'm sure I'll find the 2023 guys at some point but I've never seen a Marcus Jones signature...plus several other people have the same name so searches kind of suck. I'll look into Peters and...- Dilferules

Dilferules's 1988-present Oakland A's autograph thread
Alright, finishing off the pre-'88 years with 1987: Tony Bernazard - Second baseman was decent after being picked up from Cleveland mid-season, then played the next 3 seasons in Japan. Ron Cey - Finished up his career with 45 games in Oakland, where he was released in July after hitting .221...- Dilferules

1986 debuts: Darrel Akerfelds - 2 appearances for Oakland before they swapped him to Cleveland. Was later a bullpen coach for the Padres. Sadly passed away from pancreatic cancer in 2012.

Dilferules's 1988-present Oakland A's autograph thread
1985 (part 2) Jeff Kaiser - Broke into the majors with 15 relief appearances for the 1985 A's. Had a 9.17 career ERA in 50 games, which makes me wonder what the record is for most games pitched in a career with an ERA over 9.00. Steve Mura - Career highlight was winning a ring with the '82...- Dilferules
