Thank you, it's definitely the crown jewel of my early collection.

Makes me grind my teeth wishing I had one graded a 10! That is awesome!

What's amazing is I have about $15 into the card...$5 for the raw set...$4.50 for the grade...and a few bucks shipping here and there.

I had a chance to speak with another collector who is also doing the Gem Mint Pre-Rookie/Rookie challenge --- and he's very envious.
Really nice Bull - really nice. <nod>
P.S. I'm on the cusp of finishing one of my challenges - will post when all is settled in a week or so. It may not be particularly dramatic, but it's one that I nearly completed three times in the past - only to fall short each time. So I'm very pleased to be nearing the finish line.

Thank you guys, it's quite a major checkmark off of the checklist. My CMC PSA 10 is actually a big deal to me as well. I have large quantities of that card...none are 50/50.
I'm working on the Pan Am Blue...it'll happen.

This isn't what I was referring to earlier. Just a neat retail card from the Wal-Mart promotion.
I wonder between all of use how many cards can we account for?
Lets start with 2004 E-X. Here is what I have.

In as much as I'm really not a game used guy, the Clearly Authentics and the TOTT are some cards I need to add to my purchase list.
I think, as a Thomas collector, I need to have at least one jumbo patch in my collection.

Awesome collection of those cards, but I think I own less than 10 patch cards, with none of this variety. 98% of my Thomas money goes to pre-1997.

Same here. Though I go 1998 and back because I was a Donruss collector as a kid and their demise marked the time when I had less interest in ripping packs.

Saw one of these posted in the Griffey thread and I had scanned it just the other day for a fellow collector...figured why not post:
Those are awesome cards, but I, like a bunch of the other guys, am primarily an early Thomas collector. There is just too much high dollar stuff in the middle to late 2000's for me to collect. I am looking at completing as many of the 1990's years as possible, but have been looking as high as 2003 (minus the 1 of 1's of course). The only 2004 EX cards I have are:
2004 E-X Essential Credentials Future Frank Thomas/57
2004 E-X Essential Credentials Now Frank Thomas/9
2004 E-X Essential Credentials Future Frank Thomas/57
2004 E-X Essential Credentials Now Frank Thomas/9

My thanks to the member's of this thread for catching this:
http://cgi.ebay.com/Frank-Thomas-19...US_Baseball?hash=item2a02776307#ht_500wt_1131
And how watermarking can come in handy.
BTW - in all seriousness - how difficult is it to take a picture of something you have in hand? Scanning I can see since it's a pain and not everyone has one - but almost every cellphone and computer comes with a camera.

Wow, that is crazy.....I looked at this and completely missed the watermark until I saw your post. How could someone be stupid enough to post a pic with a clear imprint of your website? Looks as if no-one seems too upset or concerned, as the bidding was already over $200 within a couple hours of it being posted. I wonder how many other active big $$ Thomas collectors out there that are not on this thread?

Thanks Scott. I'm surprised no vulture capitalists tried to sweep in to jackup the price.

They probably think the seller watermarked it themselves. You can try to avoid hot-linking, but sometimes they just take the image from your site on their desktop and then upload it themselves.
So, they don't have a scan of the card but stealing one is ok? Oh, and is it me, or is that card more purple than red anyway?
