Frank Thomas collectors thread

[subpop77]

Some recent pickups within the last month.

I feel like I never see this card listed. I got mine from a collection I bought a while back, but can't recall seeing this listed since then.

I will have to go check my FT stuff and get back to you on that Randy.

I assume that's not a gamer?

Not a gamer. Nice early sig though...and on a Cooper!

This NNOF auction makes me kick myself:

I bought a NNOF in 2008 graded by a no-name grading company for $330, and got it re-graded by BGS and got an 8.5, and then sold it last year for $800 on EBAY. Felt pretty good about it until this one! I wonder how much my 7.5 grade is worth now!

These NNOF sales have been taking off recently!

I'm not a Thomas collector but I picked this up at the National. I was hoping to score a rare Sosa on my trip so this made it a success.

So, $2,348 for this card......really????? WTF

I think it may be an anomaly.

Very nice! I am missing one of those Front Row autos......they are always affordable, but I always seem to miss the one I need! I'd pay $25 for the one I need!

Finally got a Gem Thomas Tiffany Topps rc, as I kept putting it off. Glad to get one with two 10's, for a semi-ok price of $120...... Weren't these going for $60-80 a year ago, and are now in the mid $100's and up?

 

[randyherth]

Was able to get the #'d version below to complete the pair.......been very slow finding cards I need, so just plucking some of these to keep my Thomas addiction going. Felt like I stole this one at auction for $40 something.

Im glad someone on the board won that SP GU....congrats Randy!

It went a little higher than my max bid. Saving for wedding and only buying stuff on the cheap, $10ish or less

This is the one I was asking about at the National, ended up buying it and figured I'd throw it on here. I would move it for/towards a nice Griffey auto, but I have wanted a Thomas auto for the PC so I would have no problem keeping it. Just thought you guys would like to see it if you haven't already.

 

[randyherth]

I don't know much about the inverted refractors, other than the beckett book price. How rare is the atomic inverted?

 

[randyherth]

I am not familiar with the Thomas cards in this auction, and am curious as to why it went so high:

The only Griffey I have is a 1998 Select 5-star bankruptcy issue.........interested?

I know of three Thomases. So, pretty limited I'm sure. I haven't done the math to see how rare.

Sorry....quoted the wrong reply first.....

To all of you Frank Thomas collectors who enjoy super sweet 90s inserts.... I have a 1998 Fleer Ultra Platinum Pizzazz of Thomas. It is /98. I pulled this card whatever 12-13 years ago. I would move this... BUT.... My main question is what is a realistic value of this card? I was able to find one from maybe a year ago that went for about $30 but, the seller had a terrible listing calling it /100 and had some other flaws.

Opinions?
