That card is so awesome. But you guys are right, of all the milestones, why 9k? It sure is though one of the nicest looking mcgwire cards I've seen in '15.

Anyways, I've been watching the '15 tek's filtering in. Checklists pin McGwire in an A's uni for his base cards but a cardinals uni for Autos - yet the first auto that popped up was an A's uni proof. Any idea if the cardinals uni is a typo and they are all A's?

I'm looking at the checklist now too, and I would think you are correct that it is a typo. All of his base cards and base parallel cards are coming up on eBay showing his A's uniform too. Maybe the Low Tek inserts might have him in a Cardinal uniform, but I haven't seen one listed yet.

Thanks again for the quick chat on the Big Mac 1/1 TTT card! Enjoy the 2015 Tek hunt if you go for this run as well :)

Yeah I think you are right, one of the clouds autos popped up and that was A's as well. We'll see about the low-tek ones. I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case. Again though, congrats on the pull. That is one gorgeous card!

It's hyperlinked in my post ("looked up"), but kinda subtle: http://pressbox.oaklandathletics.co...o (AL)/06-01-2013 A's Expanded Game Notes.pdf

Edit: If it helps, I found that site by Googling for individual milestones (e.g., Oakland A's 10,000th home run) until I found them for 9,000 through 12,000, then Googled something along the lines of [Oakland A's home run McGwire Tejada Keilty Moss 9,000 10,000 11,000 12,000].

He just rolled in with another. It's also wrinkled bad, but at least this one was still in its original plastic.

Just had to get that in there ASAP because all the other Mac collectors have always beat me to the punch!

Does anyone have an extra 1988 Key Food Disc Panel with Will Clark attached. The Clark is the "key" for me to complete my disc collection....ok, that was dumb. But seriously, I'll pay good $ for that disc! Thanks!

Big win tonight. Besides the one that has been on EBay with a 350 BIN, the only one I ever saw was Banes'.

This one hit eBay last week. It ended today . Been wanting this for a Long time. It's the last Mac auto from 2002-2003 that had an inscription that I was missing. The first 10 of these had the 70 HR Inscription ImageUploadedByFreedom Card Board1447885394.771481.jpg
