Eric Chavez: 2008 Topps Triple Threads 2 Rainbows Complete!

[EricChavezCollector3]

When this set was first released I didn't go after any of the singles as I thought there were just too many. I got that impression from the countless different colors that different scanners showed, but once a checklist was released I had some catching up to do. I recieved the final pieces to both rainbows this week (Black /30 and Sapphire /3). Overall I am very happy with the total prices paid for all the fold-outs considering Lincecum is on it and the fact that the Chavez has the best looking swatch on all the cards. I don't actively collect 1/1's so I consider this set in the books, I would have really liked a black refractor foldout so each rainbow would have 6 but what can you do.

So here they are.

Total Cost of Rainbow: $7.50 (Most Expensive Sapphire /25 $3)

Total Cost of Rainbow: $160.00 (Most Expensive Sapphire /3 $48 (First one went for over $100))

/36

/27 (Dumb Color Choice)

/18

/9

/3 (By Far My Favorite)

As always, it's great to see your collection growing even more impressive.

I also love the signature - Berkman was in that set I think but his auto card is a little pricey for my budget

KillerBeeFan: Thanks, The 2003 Prime Cuts auto was my white whale it cost me $200. I hadn't seen a copy in nearly 5 years and as soon as I buy mine 2 more surfaced and closed for $75 and $56. I'm glad I finally got the card to finish my set but a bit sad because of the price.

Interesting that the Chavez is the only patch. I have the Tigers one of Granderson, and no one is a patch.
