Arizona Diamondbacks Collector/Talk Thread

[r2d2]

bballjunky, I am, though I've lost a bit of enthusiasm for that in the last year. Its been a long 3 years for Webb. I'll PM you in a second.

Arturo, that looks like quite a lot to me! Love the jerseys, I picked up my first full GU Jersey this past year, they are very cool items. Hoping to frame mine nicely some day.

Love the Montero Super as well, definitely one of my favorite on the team. Always makes me laugh during interviews.

Thanks for the kind comments!
From whom was the jersey you got?

It was a Chris Snyder Auto/GU Jersey. Got it at the D-backs fanfest last year. Hoping to pick up another next year as well. The FanFest is always great for cheap GU stuff. Have 3 hats (Snyder, Tony Clark, Chris Young) and a couple batting helmets as well. They don't say who they are, but you can still see where they peeled off the players numbers. Based on the year they came from, mine are #17 for Brandon Webb and #10 for Justin Upton. Can't go wrong with those 2!

Do you remember if something of Edgar Gonzalez has been sold at a Fan Fest? I wish I could go one day to one.

Hey guys,
What's the outlook for Jarrod Parker for 2012? Spring training invite and will likely spend most of the season at AAA?

Edit: I'm an idiot. Completely forgot he was traded to Oakland.

I know we don't have a huge population of D-backs collectors, but I know we at least have some people who collect Upton, Johnson, Chris Young, etc. At the very least we have a good farm system to discuss. I always love when people do these threads for their player or team, and I'd love to see even more around here.

So if anyone wants to show off any D-backs they have, I know I'd like to see them.

I'll start with my last month or so of mail days, will probably update every couple weeks, at least once a month. I've just recently started uploading my cards to my photobucket account so if anyone wants to see what I have up so far, feel free to check it out. Disclaimer, our scanner has lost its life so these pictures are taken with my digital camera and may be crooked. Still have 1000's of cards to scan, will get to it eventually.

Here are some recent highlights:

Chris Young/35

I REALLY have been looking for one of these and lost out on one several months ago.
Here's some I can share:

All Star GUed jersey with auto. (1 of the 2 he used)

I could go on forever...

And I've really been looking for one of those haha. I have had just no luck timing my purchases with MLB Logos being on eBay, because besides the two Webb's I have, I have never seen another D-backs MLB Logo. And I purchased the Webb's 5 years ago probably. That's definitely one area I'd love to add to. I've kind of exhausted my desire for lower end cards. I'd like more MLB Logos, Bat Barrels, Lettermans, Buttons, etc. They just don't come up very often, if at all.

I do like the Jumbo patches though.

I didn't notice anything, but I'm sure there were some Jerseys and possibly caps of his. Most of the ones available tended to be for less well known players, so I'm guessing he had a few things in there. Last year was actually the first time I made it early enough to actually get something, usually its all been snapped up by then. I'll let you know if I see anything at this years in February. You'd be surprised how many things they dig up of players no longer on the team and who left years ago.

Haven't posted much in a while here and have a down day, so figured why not.
Side note: If someone comes across the 2012 Gold Rush Daniel Hudson autograph version, please let me know. I'm extremely interested.

I kind of hate you guys all so much right now! My little LCS gets so little DBacks stuff in (despite being in Arizona!) and I almost never get the opportunity to pick up patches and cool stuff that you guys have. Before I became unemployed, I did okay on Ebay though. I'll post up a few of my DBacks cards shortly.

Wow you have a Brandon Webb card I don't have, I'm amazed! I rarely see ones I need anymore because people have given up on selling him I think. Nice additions to the threads, love all those baseballs! I need to get all my non-card stuff organized one day.

Haha... which Webby card don't you have? The gold die-cut or the die-cut auto?

Thanks! I also have a bunch of autographed photos, but I need a bunch of frames so I can display them properly. Until then, they sit in a mylar sheet protector. And of course, my ticket stubs, bobbleheads, stadium giveaways, and other stuff that my apartment is too small to display correctly. Tomorrow I'm also picking up my All-Star Game ballot box, so I'll put up a photo of that next!

Cool, can't wait to see the ballot box! Yeah, its the Gold Die-Cut/24. I have the '03 version but not the '04. I have a bunch of autographed photos as well, I'm trying to figure out what I want to do with them. I know I eventually want to do something for the 2001 team (and probably 2011 as well), but I have to get a bunch more of the 2001 players first. I think I have a list of about 30 or so people I want from that season, but it hasn't been easy.

 

[DBacks08]

Haha... yeah, I actually got that Webb card for free from my LCS. I bet once you get all those '01 players you'll be able to do something really cool.

 

[nkdbacks]

Which LCS do you go to? I don't ever make it to card shops around here unless I need supplies, I never have gotten any great deals anywhere. Everything I get is basically E-bay only (and message boards of course).
I'll have to get my Hudson collection on here soon as well, I've finally got it all scanned.

Most of the good stuff I get is off Ebay. Sometimes through trades on message boards, but not often.

I have 3000 plus most base / commons of DBacks in alphabethal order . Who do you need - send pm

 

[DBacks08]

When I was at Diamondbacks FanFest this weekend, I bought one of the 20 All-Star Game Ballot Boxes, and today I got to go down to the ballpark and pick it up! Here's my new acquisition to the collection... now I just need to figure out something AWESOME to do with it! Suggestions welcome

 

[WoundedDuck]

If any of you have Upton doubles or cards that you want to part with, let me know. I've got a bunch of Upton doubles and other stuff and am always up for trading for things I need.
