Home for a long weekend, and have finally opened and sorted most of my mail, which is the accumulation of about two months.
The goods:
First, with the dearth of Jonny Gomes cards that I'm missing for sale, I purchased 10 of his brother, Joey. Nothing spectacular (hense no scans), but they bring me up to 62/95 (65%), or 61/75 (81%) excluding 1/1s.
Gonna throw out the want list, in case anyone wants to sell. A couple are on Beckett/eBay or the like, but I'm holding out for the cheap ones considering that Joey Gomes isn't exactly doing anything.
2002 Upper Deck Prospect Premieres Future Gems Quads Crain/Grant/Granderson/Gomes 4 /600
2002 Upper Deck Prospect Premieres Future Gems Quads Majewski/Mort/Cev/Gomes 19 /600?
2002-03 Justifiable Autographs Black 46 auto
2003 Bowman Uncirculated Metallic Gold 220
2003 Bowman's Best Blue JG auto
2003 Bowman's Best Red JG auto
2003 Bowman's Best Blue JGB bat
2003 Bowman's Best Red JGB bat
2003 Topps Black 662 /52
2003 Topps 205 Bazooka Red 140
2003 Topps 205 Brooklyn 140 /5
2003 Topps Finest X-Fractors 108 /99 auto
2003 Topps Pristine Uncirculated Refractors R 130
2004 Hudson Valley Renegades 25
Also got four Matt Diaz cards, including three tough ones (the last two were surprisingly hard to find).
Brings me up to 85/125 (68%), or 81/91 (89%) without 1/1s. I'd love to get the remaining 10 cards (realistically, 8 will be hard to find, and 2 will be knocked off when I find them for a couple of bucks shipped); please check my wants, and I'll make it worth your while if you have one.
2008 Topps Allen & Ginter Bazooka Back 19/25
2008 Upper Deck Gold 57/99
2009 Upper Deck O-Pee-Chee Black Mini
Jonny Gomes stuff:
2004 Skybox Autographics unnumbered replacement cards and a 2006 Topps no foil error:
First card (2001) with a 2001 auto. Been hoping that one of these would turn up for a while, and really glad to have it. Have some others from the set (2001 Grandstand Princeton Devil Rays) if anyone is interested; just let me know and I'll look.
Two rare rookie cards /70 each, my third and second copies, respectively:
2008 Rays Team Issue. Hadn't heard of it until I found it. Also have Gross and Howell if anyone collects them.
2008 Topps Heritage Chrome Black Refractor 55/59. Finishes 2008 without 1/1s (47/47, 50/57 with).
2007 Upper Deck Premier Premier Penmanship 1/1 auto. This card sold a couple years ago on eBay, and I missed it, as well as the 07 Ginter wood mini, while on vacation. Turns out the wood mini was purchased by flightposite, who sent it to me as a gift. With this card, I emailed the seller several times a year (usually not eliciting a responce), before finding it listed on eBay with a BIN/BO. Worked out a deal for twice what it first sold for, but hell, I've got it. At this point, I'm only missing two Gomes 1/1s that have sold (missed 5 or so, but have bought the others back).
2004 Fleer Authentix Standing Room Only 1/5. Wan't holding out much hope of finding this one; it was tied with the 2005 Upper Deck Platinum for the second rarest card on my list (2006 Bowman Originals 04 Bowman Chrome Refractor /2 is number 1).
Overall, I'm up a point to 79% (439/556), and up another to 98% without 1/1s (371/380). Hoping to hit 80% sometime soon, but 99% will probably take a long time. Opportune time for me to pimp my want list again...
The real goodies:
2004 Rawlings Big Stick (absolutely hammered)
2005 SAM Bat (rookie year, autographed)
2007 MAX Bat
2008 MAX Bat (1)
2008 MAX Bat (2)
2009 Louisville Bats jerseys:
Home
Road
Alternate
BP
Takes my total to 9 jerseys and 6 bats. One more jersey is on its way, and I'm currently working out a deal for another bat.
