Cracking down the PC: 2004 Leaf Exhibits

The Donruss Studio Portraits thread with all its variants inspired me to do this thread.

I was looking over the checklist and it only has 50 cards (yet some players have more than one team like Nolan Ryan and Reggie Jackson).

All of these cards seemed to be #'d lower than 70 - the ones I have are #'d/21 to #'d/66, yet appear to be MANY different parallels based on the faux auto on the front or the print on the front (notice how all four ARods are different).

The parallels (the following also came in Leaf 2nd Edition, which featured the same cards, only blue toned and no serial numbers)

It's a tough set and one I'm thankful that none of my guys were in. It doesn't seem to have a predictable pattern so it's tough to figure out just how many there are. Does Beckett have an accurate listing?

This is a list of all the different versions. I believe they are serial #'d out of the last year so 62-63 is #'d/63. The back of the card will usually say 16SBRNR or something like that which means Stat back red name right.

Doubling your parallel hell fun, remember that these also came in Leaf 2nd Edition, which featured the same cards, only blue toned and no serial numbers!

Ugh. One set I'm glad Grace wasn't in.

I never noticed they were numbered out of the last year. At least now the 5 or 6 I have actually make sense.

Post thanked.

Mine make sense now. If anyone needs any for their PC just pm me.

That's just insane...so you are saying on top of the 44 #'d inserts, there are 44 blue un #'d parallels?

That's like 300 cards for a Nolan Ryan collector *coughBOUWOBcough*

It's still impressive you have that many...I just went through the stash that I have and didn't see any Ryans. What are the odds?

If anyone digs any up or finds any, I have been paying $5 per. I would love some help in finding them.

One of the few Musials I still collect, if I see one that I dont have and I can get it on the cheap, I will pick it up.

I busted a few boxes of 2nd edition recently and the exhibit can pay for the box.

Because the boxes are very inexpensive

I have a Glavine #/46 I just found that somebody can have for free if they want it. First to respond here gets it.

I've got some and sure there are others on COMC.

I kinda like this set, well, at least when compared to the Studio Portraits. I find these very easy to identify, it just takes a little practice. I'm still not sure what it takes to tell the difference between Portraits cards.

Here are my Rickeys that are #24/xx...

Not too bad, but I'd sure like to add more. It's hard to find older 24's though...

are you going for the entire set starting with 24? that makes it like 30 times as hard...
