Frank Thomas collectors thread

[gogosox40]

I recently picked up these two.

The 2015 is in blue ink, which some don't like, but I think it looks great in person. I also liked that it was a great action shot! The blue ink also is a neat variation in the Dynasty product that I enjoy.

The 2014 is a great image also.

Both have great patches, and no smudging!

Thanks for looking!

Awesome pickups. Glad to see another sox fan on the boards. There is only a few of us here

Few and far between, indeed.

If anyone owns a Frank Thomas Logoman patch card or know someone who does, can you please send me a pm? Thank you!

Anyone looking for a 1992 Leaf Gold w/Silver Foil ? PM if you do, thanks

How many of you Thomas collectors will be going after this:

 

[goobmcnasty]

Hey guys. Forgive me if this is out of place, but I thought this would be the best place for this.

I get to meet The Big Hurt and was wondering what cool thing I should get signed. Not necessarily valuable, just something awesome. An iconic picture I'm not thinking of? Some sort of item? I don't know. Anyone?

Thanks in advance.

If it were me, a 90 Leaf card would be at the top of my list. Not that they are rare, but I love that set and especially that card.

 

[goobmcnasty]

Yeah, that would be the most iconic. I actually found something pretty cool too. In 1993, Leaf/Studio produced a 5-card Frank Thomas collection set. (Cool black and white photos). I recently discovered a large jumbo version of one of the cards. I'm wondering if these are available unsigned.

Whatever you pick, I'd at least take it into consideration that he signs his name really really fast and if you use a silver sharpie or paint pen, be ready for it to probably not turn out. I got this photo singed a couple years ago in a silver paint pen. I decided to take the chance on it because if it turns out, it would've been sweet. My gamble didn't pay off as you can barely see the autograph. Should've gone with a lighter photo where I could've used a blue/black sharpie.

Thanks for the insight. I was looking at this photo as one of the possibilities. Unless I can find an unsigned version of this:


I will probably be getting a 20x24 of this one:

(It's a cool photo and there is big, clear, light area for a signature and inscription)

Haven't posted in a long time. Just got back my BAS order and thought I'd share. Always looking for early autos of Frank.

How rare are the 1999 Topps Chrome Early Road to the Hall base error that has Refractor written on the back. I found one looking though my cards of Frank Thomas.

Not especially rare, I have a couple and know several Thomas guys with copies. Cool variation though.

 

[BunchOBull]

Just got an order back from PSA myself.

 

[bustin_knuckles]

Those are nice. Like the one numbered to 36. I'm slowly trying to pick up early signatures.

 

[BunchOBull]

Thanks! I was stoked to find a 1987 Team USA era signature with the "36". I recently found another era I'd been looking for; 1989 Sarasota White Sox, complete with "30" inscription.

 

[gofrankgo]

I need one of the Nugenix standees POS.

 

[K34PuckettAddict]

Anyone see the 1992 Topps Round Trippers test proofs (front and back) that popped up recently on eBay. Seller had other players too.

I would love to find the Puckett’s from that set. I think those backs look fantastic!

If any of you Thomas collectors are on Facebook or Twitter get a hold of Justin ( bustin_knuckles) and tell him to contact me I have cards of his he submitted that are coming back and his GMAIL account is full so his emails are bouncing back. Would like to return them to him. Tried sending him PM thru both here and the CU boards as well no replies yet

Would like to make sure he gets his stuff back. Hope he's OK

p.s. I do not do either social media place and have no intentions of starting either so thanks for the help
