Damn Don, that's an awesome bat, and with some great photo-matching.
jbs, very nice pick-ups. Unfortunately that auto is no good on that Broder card. That Police card is pretty rare though, I wish I wasn't on a sabbatical from collecting when it was listed.

210 total:
70 base
70 chrome
70 refractor
None are serial numbered, they each just have a different number in the background. A McGwire collector from a long time ago calculated out that the print run of the refractors is around 10-20. I can't confirm that other than hearsay.

After owning them for 2 years and basically sitting
In a shoe box out of sight , I finally purchased a long overdue
Cleat display case. Finding this model was not easy. It is wall mountable but also has
The option for table top display. The most regular type of cleat case is for wall
Display And they run for 250$
I found my preferred model on the Internet for a
Steal price of 99$
So here they Are fresh Out of the Closet
1995 Mark McGwire Game Used inscribed cleats used for career
HR 272 & most likely many more
They are both inscribed 9/20/95
On that day he hit career HR 272 off Shawn Boskie.
The use is tremendous. Definately used for an extensive amount
Of time.
Here is Mac Wearing the cleats from the
9-20-95 Game

I remember when I got the 97 studio 8x10 signed I would try to get the 98
When it came out as well.
Turns out I got the 98 SLU signed instead.
It would be the last auto I got from him during his playing days.
Everytime I see the 98 I think how I wanted to get it signed.
Saw this as soon as it got listed in eBay.
BIN of 47$
1998 Donruss Studio 8x10
Full signature

Anyone need the McGwire?
Off topic a little bit, but did anyone see the final selling price on this card. Wonder what the McGwire one would sell for.

Finally got this in the mail.
It is # 9. And it was one of the hardest to find.
Graded a 7.5 By PSA/DNA GU Bat Expert John Taube
Light use is better then no Use.
Has a very early batch code. One of the first few batches he probably got back in that ROOKIE SEASON

A couple recent pickups. 1993 Cooperstown Promo, 1991 Topps A*B* Variation at the bottom (haven't seen one of these before), 1997 Donruss Elite Leather and Lumber, 1996 Pacific Printing Plate. I also recently achieved the 3000 different McGwire card milestone which I was pretty excited about. Such a long way to go.....

Nice haul there!
That's only the second cooperstown promo I've seen. Where'd you find yours?
Also, do you know anything more about that A*B*? I've never seen that before.
Great pickups!!
I got the 1993 Promo on ebay a month or two back. It was in a lot with a couple of his other 90s promos. Was excited to add it to the collection as it was one of the cards I wasn't sure I was ever going to find. Now if I can only hunt down a 1988 Topps Cloth and 1988 Score Promo.
For the 1991 Topps A*B* variation, this was the first I had heard of them. I was a little hesitant on purchasing it as I didn't know much about it. I did some research on it and found out some info from some 1991 Topps variation/error gurus postings on a few collectors sites and blogs (they seem pretty rare). It seems as though only about 60 different players in the set have been identified as having this variation, with McGwire being the biggest name from the listings I could find. All of the A*B* variations found have been found with the bold stamp. The guy I got it from said he pulled it from wax. I ended up paying $60 for the card, which is why I had to think about it for a bit, but wasn't sure if I would ever see a version of the card again, and I really like getting older oddball cards from his A's days, so I just bit the bullet on it and got it.
