2006 Upper Deck F/X Blue Unnumbered

[MacK]

I'd be up for a group team break of it.

Looks like blowout has some, anyone want to email them for a case price?

From my experience of busting the product (more than 20 boxes) the blues came in a pack as the extra card in the pack. I believe each pack was supposed to have 4 cards. The blue parallel fell one per box and was always in the pack with 5 cards in the middle.

With over 1,000 cards in the checklist and the blues only falling 1 per box, it is a pretty safe bet there were only 25 or less copies each.

I still can't find the Andre Ethier and Jeff Francis blues.
Not on eBay, Beckett or Sportlots.
I bet so many F/X blues are sitting in junk common boxes, or worse, thrown out :shock: because they're unnumbered and people don't realize what they have.

+1

People really don't even know they have these. I took a shot on a lot of Hanleys where the scan made the F/X card look blue, and won the lot for 99 cents. It was actually the blue version, but unfortunately came damaged. Still looking for a replacement on the one I have and need a copy of the other Hanley. Also need the Billingsley and Shoppach.

This was one set I was happy to put to rest early. I don't mind having low numbered cards remain on my wantlist but having unnumbered cards on there for some reason drives me crazy.

Nice run.

Seems that on a card like the Blue's that if you don't find one within 6-12 months after release they go into witness protection.

Just did, they said that they are out of stock of F/X and all other products listed without a price.

Dave and Adam's have a box (es) available. Maybe they have a case?

I saw that. It's probably worth a call to find out. I haven't checked Charm City yet.

What are all of these #d out of? Specifically, the green. The guy i collect, Bronson Arroyo, actually has two cards in the set, one Reds and one Red Sox, and I've got a blue of one of them and a red of one of them, but no green, so i figured that was the rarest. I picked the blue up for a buck or two on sportlots a long time ago.

Thanks!

And if anyone has any rare Arroyos (or Jose Rijo), I'd be grateful!

I believe purple #'d/150, green #'d/99, red #'d/50, blue unofficially #'d/25.

Did some emailing, and so far have these responses:

DA Cardworld: 6 boxes, $45 each
DCS Sports Cards: Unspecified number of boxes at $49.95 (waiting to hear back on how many they have, but no cases)
Bigg Sports: 1 box, $37
Charm City Cards: "over 10" boxes at $55 a pop, no cases

Charm City has the most boxes but at the higher price. Maybe they'll make a discount if we buy at the amount of a case?

I opened a box or two of this stuff. I'll check to see which parallels I got.

I'd be one of those. Just gave away a bunch to neighborhood kid. Still have many laying around. Is there a light blue and darker blue?

The base is similar to a chrome card made by Topps, while the blue is distinctly blue. Because it has nothing to indicate it is a parallel, however, if viewed without exemplars it can be easy to confuse a blue card with its base counterpart.


From EricChavezCollector3:

 

[Reyes7tulo2]

I have a Woody Williams blue that was just sitting with all the commons I had. It's actually a really nice card. I got all the crappy players though for parallels. I also have purples of Derek Lowe, Mark Grudzielanek, Jason Vargas, and Jason Childers, greens of Jose Lima and Bobby Crosby, and a red of Scott Feldman.

 

[aprimo]

Georgetown Card Exchange has some available. I believe the price was $49.95 per box. I am checking to see how many they have and if they have a case.

 

[17ROCKIES12]

I still need the Barmes blue. And I'm always looking for the other ones. I get them all graded by BGS.

 

[Johnny G]

I should have a few of these. I actually opened a bunch of this stuff years ago. Think I found Tanyan Sturtze and Rafael Betancourt without much of a search. Keep ya posted.
