I've just begun scanning about two months of mail, plus a few cards in my collection I'd never scanned before. I won't post them all here, but these are some of the highlights (in no particular order).

I've been hunting for these for three years. Hard to believe they both popped up in the last couple of months. One dumped casually in a lot of other Biggio inserts and parallels that I grabbed for about $3, the other listed by itself that went for $26.

My second one of these. Now if only the other letters would pop up.

I found a seller in Texas who made me a good deal on this and a bunch of other Biggio cards I needed.

Finally found some MI inverteds. Now I just need the refractor.

Supposedly /50 but this is the first one I've ever seen.

Found this in a lot of Pudge game-used cards. This is first one I had ever seen. Now I need to find a Pudge collector to give the others to.

Funny the book value on this one is so high. I guess back in 2001 Killer B's game-used cards were pretty rare. Maybe this was even the first one?

Thanks guys! I've got a lot more scanning to do. An entire shoebox full. There's some really great stuff in there. I'll post some more later.

Glad to see the Special F/X Blue that you won from me on eBay went to a FCB member.

Enjoy!

Thank you! I was beginning to despair of ever finding the thing. I know three years is nothing compared to what many collectors go through to find certain cards. But I'm impatient. :oops:

Sweet triple patch! Back in the day I tried to win that Killer B's triple jersey card, but I lost it.. Brings back good memories to see it again!

Here's a few more. Going chronologically, so these are all from 2004.

This is one of my favorite Biggio autos. You don't see many variations in his auto. I think this is one of only two I have, the other being an inscription with his jersey number. This one is cool since "Bidge" is what I usually call him. I doubt there's one out there with a "Pigpen" inscription, so this will have to do. :D

This may be as close as I ever come to completing this set. Just missing the patch and the auto now, and I've never seen either one.

Thanks Chad!

Not much super interesting for 2006 pickups. Lots of printing plates, and this beauty finally came home. :D

Here's the set. I don't recall ever seeing the Super.

Amy-- Did you ever get my email? I sent you a list of extras available.

I did and I haven't forgotten. I just haven't gotten to it yet. But I definitely plan to soon. Especially now that I am about to have my lists up to date.

Whew! I'm finally done scanning. There was some fairly nice stuff in 2007.

This is sort of an odd pairing. I get the gimmick of pairing guys with the same uniform number, but that seems to be where the similarity ends. But going through my collection, I could find a lot of cards with Biggio and some guys who were supposed to be the next big thing and went bust. Not that it's relevant to Gordon, but Bidge outlasted a lot of "successors".

Those are some great pick-ups! I'm especially digging the batting glove, the laundry tag and the Special F/X blue parallels. I'm still looking for one of the Rowands from the set. The big Absolute patch is sweet as well; I'm sure I've seen that on Ebay in the past.
