Josh Johnson thread (11/10 update: '06 Ultimate Quad auto & '10 TTT Booklet auto)

I've added a ton more, since my last postings, especially April of '14, so trying to get back into updating everyone, even though nobody cares.

Enjoy !

#'d 1/1






#'d 1/1. Been looking for this one for 5 years. Showed up in Japan / Taiwan. Spent more than I wanted, but, it's home where it's always belonged.


#'d/10. Saw this at Nats '11. This was on the Sunday, before [MENTION=4311]Zeeck[/MENTION] & I were going to head to the Reds / Cubs game. Nearly the last table we went to. Asked the dealer how much he wanted for his copy of the card. He said, "$600". My jaw dropped, hit the floor and shattered into a billion pieces. I said, shockingly, "$600 ??? Seriously ?" He said, "The lowest I could go is $500. That's a good price, considering all the pitchers on the card are young stars and are only going to get better". 5 years later, this '$500' card cost me less than $70 dlvd. Color me beyond excited !


Copy #60 or so.


#'d/99 (copy #8 or so)


#'d/35 (copy #7 or so)


#'d/50 (copy #7 )


#'d/199. I think I'm up to 15 copies of these.


Oddball that I just HAD to have. Have never seen it before, either.




#'d/10 (2nd or 3rd copy)


#'d/25

Great stuff ! And I care

Ryan

Agreed. Glad to see this thread again. Keep it up.

Awesome stuff, keep posting

Great stuff! I'm sure you've said it before, just curious why you collect him. I always like to hear the story behind the collection

I missed seeing your updates too. One of the most complete collections out there.

Although I do understand the sentiment about updating but no one caring

Thanks Ryan ! I've gotten so much since the last post, but just haven't had the ambition to take the pics and deal with a glitchy, slow as hell Photobucket to post more. Doesn't help that JJ's are is made of uncooked Ramen

Thanks Dustin ! It's always a struggle coming up with stuff that folks even would want to cast their gaze upon these days ...

I had a long drawn out response and the ****ing thing **** out on me and erased everything ... so here's the shortened response; he was born in MN. I live in MN. I love the Marlins, especially in rebuilding times, as I love prospects and weeding out the riff-raff from the solid guys. I collected mainly football, and had started dabbling with baseball (Uggla & McLouth) in late '07 / early '08, but needed a pitcher to collect. Debated about Anibal Sanchez, but then won a JJ / Dontrelle '07 UD Premier Dual Patch /10 for $.99 + $5 shipping (from Canada) and that's how it started. With all my collections, I try to acquire as many cards as possible, even 60 copies worth. It's just how I collect. So, with JJ rehabbing from TJ surgery, it was easy to pick his stuff up for cheap, plus, he has a lot of patches from the Marlins days, and those are all mostly gorgeous.

I've sold 1 card of his. Just one, and there were a few provisions about me selling it. All those provisions were met and it helped a fellow FCB member and good friend complete a nearly impossible set. But there's been so many times I could've sold a ton of his cards and just haven't. So, there's, I guess, the cliff notes version of why I collect JJ.

I need to go and scour your thread. I always love leafing through your acquisitions !!

Seller on the card above said (after I offered him $55 dlvd for it to end the auction) "I have way more into it then that". Well, I got it for about $25 shipped

Good stuff , nice patch too

Awesome pick ups!

Ryan & Dustin - Thank ya !

[MENTION=11924]AnthonyCorona[/MENTION] I was lucky enough to buy that one card from Dave. I gifted him a 2010 Red Ink and bought him the next 2009 Red Ink that hit eBay to replace the one I bought. Since it was only found in a RIP card the 2009 JJ was tougher to find. It was one of the last 3 cards I needed to finsish the 70 card 2009 Red Ink set /10.

Here is the one I bought from the mighty PC

It couldn't have a better home with a better person. So glad we struck a deal and glad it ended up with you, George !

Good stuff as usual.

Great stuff! This is one of my favorite threads (along with the 90s inserts) and wish it was something you updated daily. I gotta ask and maybe I missed it but how do you store/organize the JJs??

pretty remarkable PC for sure
