I make up for it with singles on Ebay..

Do you have any pictures you could share? Would love to see some of what you got.

I don't have any from that set yet, just discovered it tonight. But in the next few days I'll take pics of my current 500 HR Club collection. I had scans on my old Photobucket but those are gone.

Here are two I do have pictures of:

Mickey Mantle

Babe Ruth

They are much nicer than whats out there today. I would love to see a retro style game used set like some of the Sweet Spot Classics or Legendary Cuts offerings.

One of my favorite game-used sets of all-time may be 2005 Sweet Spot Classic. Such a simple and clean design.

I feel like the authenticity was better then. Maybe I'm just naive.

Meh, I don't know if the authenticity was "better" per se, but I do like how some of the cards featured a picture of what the material came off of. And with game used being so big today like never before, are they really putting authentic swatches on the cards or is it a bunch of made up crap like Leaf does with Trinity?

The retail end of things is hard to keep up with. Educated collectors will always go in and clean out what is new/hot. I work at a Target and we have a 24 foot section of cards, that's mixed with magic and Pokemon and the rest of it. My vendor comes in once a week to do maintenance, take out old stuff, do stocking etc...it's a big box store and the buyers have a very general mindset, trying to cast a wide net to keep as many people coming in as possible. I understand why they do that but it's frustrating for me too, I wanted to get one or two of the Bowman chrome blasters and we sold out. I've been on vacation and I'm sure chrome will be gone by Monday. Things were a lot better when virtually every town had an LCS because I don't think retail will ever evolve to the point where we are totally happy with it.
