Biggio collection update--two months of mail

[aprimo]

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).

23/25

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.

2/5

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

8/10

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.

43/50

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.

16/25

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?

Nice, like the Inverted Refractor

Nice haul! I really like the trio of trio cards of the Killer B's.

Nice collection! The batting glove card is unusual and cool.

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.

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.

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.

I love the DK Auto and the Jumbo patch, Sweet pick-ups!

Thanks Chad!

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

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".

Very nice stuff Amy.

Especially love the super patch.

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.
