Let me throw the "White Whale" story out there real quick:

About 4 years ago I saw the /2 Laundry Tag on the Beckett Checklist - http://www.beckett.com/baseball/2005/prime-patches-portraits-laundry-tag/82-jose-canseco2-5160015

This had been Canseco's only Laundry Tag release and regardless of who made it I WANTED it - I proclaimed it my "White Whale" among fellow Canseco collectors.

Only a few months later it had briefly surfaced on eBay one night after I went to bed, only to be ended early and sent out that next morning before I caught wind.

AND it was 2/2 the 2nd half of the MLB swing man with both the blue and red colors. Even if 1/2 shows up in the future it will probably be the 1st half of that tag.

Not that there's anything wrong with that... It's just not the half I wanted... LOL There are several things that fell into place in order for me to obtain this card &

I am absolutely 100% thrilled with it and couldn't have designed a better card myself... Losing the Prime Patch version of my "White Whale" 3 years 3 months and

8 days earlier had caused a void in my collection I never thought I would satisfy. Honestly words cannot express how complete this Laundry Tag has made my PC.

I echo that holy canoli statement. That is incredible stuff. Why is that 1997 Pinnacle Inside so tough. I am still searching for the Club and Diamond.

 

[James52411]

Great stuff. I particularly like the 2000 SPX 1/1.

 

[TNP777]

awesome!

when you say the '97 Ultra Platinum completes a 6-card rainbow, you're talking about #12 and #376 (3 each), right?

 

[RAZOR-Z]

Yes! Boston & Oakland. So 3 & 3

Sent from my SKYROCKET...

Good question. I have 3 Diamond Editions from 1997 and can't seem to find a Club Edition for some reason. Weird. By the way - that is an amazing collection in itself, I can't believe those are all just recent pickups!

I've seen several Club Editions, but as far as I know, only one DE has shown up. I missed out on it by a matter of hours.

 

[predatorkj]

Nice stuff!

Btw, if I recall correctly, wolverine had a slew of the diamond edition versions for sale on eBay a while back.

Cool pickups. Amazing haul actually. Although I'm mad at you for buying that Leaf Bronze - now the seller thinks Grace is worth $900.

Kind of a disturbing cut and auto placement on this one:

Wow! Absolutely nuts.

 

[MansGame]

Very very very very nice stuff...


Now to help you secure a nice scanner

 

[henderson939]

Awesome cards. I hope to snag a Henderson Bronze one day. I know its out there.

Whats the deal with the 95 Score Redeemed?

 

[RAZOR-Z]

Whats the deal with the 95 Score Redeemed?

So, you would get Platinum Redemption cards by sending in a complete set of Gold Rush cards.

Originally they sent back your Gold Rush cards with the punched logo in the corner. Not sure if

they stopped sending the Gold Rush cards back or just kept track of who was redeeming them?

 

[henderson939]

Cool, I didnt know that. Guess I need that Rickey too.

 

[BunchOBull]

Wow! Absolutely nuts.

In all seriousness, hellacios mail day, congrats.

 

[RAZOR-Z]

Thanks guys! - This last 3 months has been AMAZING for my collection...

Everything just kept coming together... Have you ever had that feeling???

I ALMOST feel like retiring... I'm about 30 cards shy of complete... hmmm...
