I was curious about the 1989 Topps Head Up test issue for McGwire. I won it on Ebay a few days ago for $20, but it books for like $300 on beckett. Was just curious if they have it majorly overprice or if collectors just tend to not pay much for oversized cards like it. It was one of those cards I never expected to get as you rarely see them, and I wasn't ever willing to pay very much for an oversized card myself.

can you post a pic?

I own the regular heads up version, just wanted to see the difference.


The big difference is really the copyright on the back of the card being 1989. The only other thing I could tell offhand was that there is a little extra blue cardboard behind his right ear in the test issued version.

I don't get many like this.

To complete my bat project of owning a bat from each of the 50+HR seasons, i present to you, with full COA from the Mariners Cove Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, stating how McGwire donated it, also graded a GU 9 by PSA/DNA,

1999 Mark McGwire Game Used Autographed Bat :)

Barrel has a few cracks in it. lace marks, bat rack marks, peices of the red seam from the ball, everything you except in legitimate gamer. Very Stoked.

Just popping in from the Rickey thread. I was doing some research on the 1994 A's Pogs Target (Collector Kaps), and noticed you guys don't have it listed on your master list. Any reason?(I finally tracked down the Rickey and the rest of the set a few weeks ago)

I also wanted to add that I love the site you guys put together. It's so easy to navigate, and it tells you everything you need to know about the cards and the collectors. Us Rickey guys really need to get our act together :)

Hello everyone,

Hope all is well!! I was just going through a few of my McGwire doubles and figured I would see if anyone here needed any of these. They might wind up on ebay if no one here could use any. I pulled out a few mid - highish end cards. My preference would be to trade them for some Macs I don't have. Pick one pick two or pick them all and feel free to shoot me a message if interested!

haha, thank you. gotta love 90's inserts! they truely are the best. i guess thats why there is a forum solely devoted to "super sweet 90's inserts". they just dont make them like they used to.

Was curious if anyone had seen one of the desert shield interests before that was not the error version before?

Put in a bid on this auction not expecting to win.
Won auction. Paid for card not expecting to receive it.
Three days later, in my mailbox!!!!

For a grand total of $42:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...BLr1ES4%3D&viewitem=&sspagename=STRK:MEWNX:IT


I watched this item as well. Didn't bother bidding becuase I usually don't buy stuff like this and I figured it had to go for more than the $30ish it was up to with a day or so remaining. Well done, that is a GREAT deal! Congrats!

howdy,

can some please help me out. the 1993 topps mcgwire card comes in a variety of different fronts. there is the mini, the gold, the preproduction, the inaugural marlins, the inaugural rockies, the "name in large font" and lastly the "name in small font". the first four mentioned are easy to differentiate. the latter two however have been driving me nuts for a while now. i can't seem to find the difference in these two cards. "small font" and "large font" both look the same to me! could someone who has both please take a side by side picture for me and explain what the difference is. i would greatly appreciate this! thanks!

regards,

mark
