You know I saw that, then it got bought. I was wondering who got it. NICE pickup!!

Only 9 more to complete the 90-card set???? Holy Schnikes!!!!

Yup! 9 more to complete the base set!
But Pre-productions and diffractors, thats a whole other story

Was updating my photobucket, figured why not post em here too:

With these additions, I officially only need 7 more game used cards to have every one (non-auto'd)

This finished off the 7 card dual and triple game used UD SPx Winning Materials subset


This finished off the #'d/25 dual game used jersey set


And finally landed the Colla McGwire auto!

You'll die when I tell you what I got it for....

It was on a BIN for $175 and I was able to use one of my 20% live.com discounts on it. So I got it for $140. I kept putting $225 bids on these for the last two years when they'd come up. They would always go $230-$450 (yes one went to $450 in the last two years)

That was one of my top steals for McGwires. Off the top of my head, I'd have to honestly say it was the best McGwire ebay purchase behind these (all of which were not BIN but 7 day auctions nobody saw):
Fleer EX Game Wall buyback #'d/2 for $35
Fleer EX Game Base buyback #'d/16 for $18
Topps Tek gold #'d/10 for $20
Topps HR Refractor for $28
pacific printing plate for $35

This is one of my favorite McGwire cards. I was lucky enough to pick up this particular card (25/200) from my favorite local sports collectibles dealer approximately fourteen months. The dealer knows that I was always looking for unique McGwire cards and he just happened to purchase this particular card from a local sports card dealer who was retiring after 25 years in the business.



I already had one of these cards in my collection, but could not pass up having the "jersey number"/200.

Thank you,

Cards Fan

Got this RARE bad boy in the mail today. I know Cards Fan , who is my buddy Karl has one, but besides seeing his i never seen this card anywhere. I got it off ebay with a $199 BIN which is a steal. As far as i know, the first 25 had the 70 inscription added to them. Even the ones without the inscription are hard to come by even though there is a total print run of 70. So in total, there is a 70 print run and the first 25 got the "70HRS" inscription. It goes great with the others.

Here it is.... 2003 Mark Of Greatness /70 with the "70HRS" inscription....


and goes good along with these....

I'm sure you guys probably saw it, but I just won a sweet mcgwire card a few days ago.....a definate first for my Mac collection....

I don't want to jinx things so I'll scan when it arrives...

Here's something I forgot about, but came across when I was digging through a box where I'm storing autographed balls (until I have a better place to display them!)

Rawlings Mini Mitt made in 1999 or so. Bought it at Target, but I can't remember how much it was. There were about 6 or so available, and I bought the Mac and a Griffey (I'll post that in the Griffey thread.) It has his name on the thumb, but the pics don't show it.

And with a ball to give some perspective...



It also came with a card that I though I scanned the other day when I was scanning Mac cards, but I can't find it. I'll look again.
