[MacK]

Love that Narveson for some reason.

Gets me down to the final 20. There are some 1/1's in there, so I may be SoL for a couple.

Well, that was short lived. Back up to 21 or 22, Matt Holiday has an auto in Topps Update. Khalil Green has an auto in Ballpark, in Padres garb; but it says Cardinals. So, I'm torn there.

I don't know why they can't get him with the Cardinals.He's been with them all year.Does Derosa or Smoltz have any yet?

Nope, no DeRosa or Smoltz. Hopefully in some 2010 stuff.

Damn, is the Motte is badly cut as it looks like in the scan?If so, I'd have a hard time forcing myself to look at that over time.Nice Washington though.

 

[Adamsince1981]

Nice work buddy!

You are going to need a Boyer cut one day!

Yeah, the Motte is the worst cut card I have ever seen. the right and side is fine, a good 90 degree angle. the left side is cut at about 80 degrees. I'll have to contact UD about it and see what they can do for me. Ebay scan was cropping that out or I probably wouldn't own it.

Yeah, Boyer, Flood, and Maris. I'll need to pony up for all of those.

Maris in a Cardinals uni??? What Product?

We'll just go out on a limb and say I won't have one. There are two 1/1's:
2005 Timeless Treasures Salutations Signature #17 Roger Maris/ 1
2008 Topps Triple Threads Triple Signed Hide #3 Bob Gibson/ Roger Maris/ Stan Musial

I think I'd trade a car for the 2nd one. Maris may end up being a 200lb Hocket Player custom job, if I can find an auto somewhere.

that would be a very good idea.

Obviously you know you may never see the cuts that exist and who knows what it would take ($) to won them...

Yeah, it's still not going to be a cheap venture. Gotta start searching for Maris Autos on a more daily basis.

Since the seller misled you can you get your Paypal back?Nice project this is, I thought about starting one like yours up too, but not sure how to go about it.How are you searching for all these players on eBay?Sounds very time consuming to type every player's name in the search function.I don't suppose you want any TTM signatures, but I have a couple current/former Cardinals if you don't have I'd give them to you.

What is this hide card you mentioned later in this thread?

Since the seller misled you can you get your Paypal back? Not worth the time and effort. Only a $.99 card.

Nice project this is, I thought about starting one like yours up too, but not sure how to go about it.How are you searching for all these players on eBay?Sounds very time consuming to type every player's name in the search function. Not too bad, you can sort out autographs on the becket site, then team pictured with. I corss referenced it with baseballreference.com, as I only wanted guys who played with the big club.

I don't suppose you want any TTM signatures, but I have a couple current/former Cardinals if you don't have I'd give them to you. That's two projects away! I'm also collecting RC's of everyone to play with the team. I'm starting out going back to everyone to play since 1980; once complete I'll start working my way backwards year by year. So, right now it ranges from a 1960 Jim Kaat to 2009 David Freese. Getting Topps or Bowman if available. I've still got about 60 guys to go; it's currently a 520 card set. I've got two of most of them, and plan to send one of them out ina flurry of TTM greatness. So, if any of the ones you have are RC's send em my way! They'd be greatly appreciated.

What is this hide card you mentioned later in this thread? I have no idea. LOL. I'll have to take a look back and see what I was talking about

 

[rookieaddict]

Oh, the Triple Threads Hide cards. They were 1/1's that were made with multi signed balls.

Here's a link to the 2006 sell sheet, there is an example on page 6. If I remember correctly they made them as a fold out in 2008 and looked really sharp.

 

[Phish]

I may have some ttm Cardinals stuff to trade probably. I gotta look in the binder though. I know I have Rheal Cormier on a 94T

Yeah, let me know what you've got. But, I'm really only interested if it's on a RC. Thanks for looking!

 

[rookieaddict]

Also for those who may be interested here is a to my collection of Cardinals RC's who played from 1980 to present day. I still have about 60 sitting at the house waiting to be scanned, and 20 or so on the way.

If you take the time to check it out, let me know who you think the coolest looking Cardinal rookie is. I think my vote goes to the 1970 Pedro Borbon.

 

[rookieaddict]

Got two new ones....one I'm very excited about and one that I had to upgrade due to the card just being horribly cut by UD.

Upgraded Jason Motte

And this Eric Davis
