Player Collection milestone. Showoff time.

TramFan3 · Aug 12, 2009

By the end of the week I will have reached 750 cards in my Alan Trammell collection. Ive only been working on it seriously for the past 2 years. I hope to reach 825 by the end of the year.

Currently I have all but 7 regular issued cards from his playing days (78-97) but am still missing a few oddball things. I have a complete collection of his food discs. Now ive moved on to getting the promo squares. I have all of his Star issues except the silver set and his auto.

When I originally started I was just working on his playing days but since have started collecting his newer stuff as well. I am glad I have as well. Here are a few of my recent pickups.

Ive gotten tired of looking at Walter55's signature, so I did something about it.( Though he still has a few cards I need!!!!!!)

and finally.....

Sorry for the crappy scans, and thanks for looking!!!

Sweet! Love the button and love the aqueous! Nice Pick-ups!

Sly · Aug 12, 2009

Where'd you pick up the Aqueous??? I've wanted the Reynolds version and not surprisingly, it's never shown up!

Awesome, congrats on 750. Even more impressive is your completion amount thru 1997!

That Aqueous is a VERY tough one to cross off, even more so than the cards listed in your sig. I'm sure you'll find those eventually.

TramFan3 · Aug 12, 2009

Thanks guys.

Sly- I was lucky enough to find it on ebay not too long ago. The same person had a Robby Thompson up as well (hopefully ronfromfresno got it) but no Harold Reynolds. If I ever stumble upon one I will let you know. Mine will be going out to SGC for authentication sometime soon.

Congrats on your new milestone :!:

Keep an eye open for a Will Clark and Eddie Murray Aqueous

Very nice stuff. Key cards and nice patches!

jay1065 · Aug 12, 2009

Congrats on the milestone and the Aqueous!

Great stuff I was wondering if you won the button. If you get a chance pm what you need from 80s and 90s I might have extras.

mrwhitesox30 · Aug 12, 2009

I was wondering who spent that much on a Trammell button. I figured it would sell for about half that or less. I didn't know Tigers collectors were so nuts.

SWeeeeeT :!: :!:

TramFan3 · Aug 12, 2009

C.L., jay-Thanks

mrwhitesox- im not really sure if there are a ton of tigers collectors going after these things. Im aware of a handful of Trammell collectors who cost me a lot of money though. I figured I would end up paying around what I did, but was ready to go higher if needed. As I said, I was jealous of walters card.

walter- i will pm you in a few minutes, and thanks.

theplasticman - ive been on the lookout for the aqueous for a while, and there was the clark not too long ago, that went for WAAAAAAAAAY more than i paid for mine. Im pretty sure you know which one im talking about. If anything pops up ill be sure to let you know.

Bigalbert- You have a pm coming your way

Actually 2 have shown up. I have one and the same seller had a bunch of them up in lots of 9 and he had another Reynolds in one of the lots. I tried for both, but got outbid on the one in the lot.

This is the lot with the Reynolds:

Those are some great cards, particularly the Aqueous. Congrats! Trammell is one of the great underrated players of the 1980s. It's a shame he didn't get more HOF support...

Haha, I was going to say if it was out there I knew who had it. But I guess he's sold his last few. :lol:
