2005 Absolute Memorabilia Collector's Thread

Try putting the Posada in a gallon ziplock with an unscented dryer sheet.

Great stuff as always guys!!

Thanks for the tip. Either the previous owner of that Posada is a chain smoker, or Jorge has a 3 pack a day habit I didn't know about.


Here's a couple from my prime collections I just got around to scanning

Willie McCovey 3/10

Gary Carter 5/5

Sweet Jumbos, Lov that Carter, I use to own that McCovey, lol

Rest easy knowing that McCovey is in good hands haha. I just to own this one which looks like the other half of his 'Best Wishes' auto inscription.

That Ted Williams button is insane! How much did that thing set you back?

 

[Jon30b]

Picked up this Ron Cey for $5.99. It'd be a pretty badass TTM auto set if someone was ambitious enough to pursue it.



Looking to trade these Black 1/1's for Jumbos I need if anyone is interested.

Curt Schilling 1/1

Rafael Furcal 1/1

Albert Pujols 1/1

 

[Jon30b]

Just picked up the Pujols Jumbo grey variant to go along with my white one

Sweet pickups guys...I'm obviously fond of the jumbos. Here is my latest arrival:

Fun mail day today. I reached a milestone with my 250th and 251st jumbos. Also added my first non-jumbo Puckett.

What do you think? Bought this for $38.50 with intent to flip. I thought the listing was poor, patch looks real and unaltered, and since Ortiz only has 6 jumbo patches available (1 Black, 5 Red), there's got to be set collectors that need it. Opinions?

 

[ChasHawk]

Looks legit to me Brad, and I'll bet there are two or three guys here who would be interested

 

[highphat]

I think that one is legit...I offered him $35 for it a couple weeks ago. I guess he liked your offer better I would guess with a good listing you should be able to just about double your money.

He lowered it to a $35 BIN this morning I see. Was at $45. But it was listed as "PLAYOFF ATHENTIC MEMORABILIA TOOLS OF THE TRADE DAVID ORTIZ CARD TT-52 # 4/5". I think listed as a Playoff Absolute, it should do better.

I was thinking since the card is /5, if you dangle it out on the bay at $150 BIN or best offer, someone will shoot you a good offer.

I would say that including jumbo and patch couldn't hurt either...lol
