Where did you get the E-X? Great card!

adifran25 · Feb 26, 2013

Thanks! A guy on ebay had that and the double play warp tek in a lot for $90 buy it now or best offer, and I made an offer and got a great deal on them. Terrible listing, you could barely see them in the picture.

Man, that bat's cool. I always enjoy seeing you add to that run. Looks like you've been getting them signed? I seem to remember you having some unsigned ones before, but all seem to have ink on them now.

Once again.......speechless.

Thanks guys,
At one point, 97' & 89' were unsigned which i managed to get done over Spring Training Trips.

I have a tentative deal in place to aquire a 88' & 92' both of which are unsigned. Once i have em
i can try to get ink on them when LA goes to Baltimore or Philly

I love seeing the old insert cards from the 90's. keep it comin guys !!

adifran25 · Apr 23, 2013

Just got this in today, and it is BEAUTIFUL! Now the question is whether to crack it open now. I have cracked over 100 McGwire's, most of them higher graded then this (I really dont care to collect graded cards). What do you guys think?

AUTaxMan · Apr 23, 2013

I like them slabbed just to protect them.

Mark McGwire Museum · Apr 24, 2013

I collect BGS/PSA graded McGwire's, so I'm partial in saying keep it slabbed. If you don't collect graded cards, maybe shoot me a PM before crackout, and if I have a comparable conditioned card I will just trade you and pay S&H both ways.

adifran25 · Apr 24, 2013

Thanks for your interest, and that sounds very tempting, but the main reason why I really wanted this one is because it is #5 of 50 (5 and 25 are my favorite numbers, and I try and get any McGwire with those numbers on them). Thank you though, and if it was a different serial number I would of taken you up on it.

adifran25 · May 17, 2013

Nice to see the thread bump, I've been slacking on posting up any new cards, even though I have been getting some really good ones in lately.

I just picked up the 8x10 version of the 1998 Studio Gold, they look really nice in the pictures.

adifran25 · May 17, 2013

I figured that was you bidding on that, I put a bid in on the last second but it went too high. Thats numbered 25/300 too right?
