Oh, yeah, that's right! Thought you were talking about a card! LOL! Yeah, I really like that as I got it a while ago! Yeah, my bucket link brings up all of my Griffey memorabilia which is also a really nice collection as it makes my room look like a shrine! So, you have to see my subalbums to see all of my cards so I'm guessing like you said it took a little longer to see everything I have! All I need is a Griffey life sized statue! LOL!

My favorite card is my 1/1 08 UD Premier Logo Man patch card. That card is just insane! I actually have two of those which is really sweet and rare to do for sure! Definitely in my opinion the best Griffey patch card out there!

0 logos for me,

 

[Tpm2780]

Yeah, but you still have an awesome collection for sure and those logos are just super rare and I still can't believe I was able to find them! You have more autos than I do but I have downsized my collection from what it used to be and sold off what I was willing to sell several years ago and am very happy with where I am at now!

I'm pretty much just into the RARE Inserts myself

You guys have some amazing griffey collections! I've been thinking of starting a griffey pc. I guess I should start with his rc and then go up to autos.

if ya need help I'm sure a few of us have some dbls of some rookies and other stuff

 

[Tpm2780]

That's cool! Can't argue those are worth a good amount of money as well! Just haven't gotten into those types of cards myself but that's what makes every Griffey collector's collection unique by what they enjoy collecting so for me you really can't compare one's collection to another's cause of how each collection is based on that collector's favorite types of cards.

Right! That was a few years ago and I have added quite a bit of high end Griffey patches and patch autos since and have sold a few cards here and there to turn over my inventory! Now I am very satisfied where I am at and am taking a break for a while to try to save for other things in the future like when I will eventually need a new car! Just don't want to spend my life savings on cards if you know what I mean?

I spent my kids college funds ..hehe

 

[Tpm2780]

I'm assuming you will be keeping that card, right? I would if I had it but I never wanted to spend what that card would go for which I assume is close to $2000? My 1/1 LogoMan card was the most I would want to spend on a card which was $1200 which I think was a fair deal!

I will remember that. Ill come back to this thread when I have the extra money.

 

[magicpapa]

Keeper, Yes .......not sure what one would go for, as of 11/23/10 I pretty much stepped down from the collection world,....... BUT if I see something I likes, Well then

Nice Gift from a board member

 

[Tpm2780]

Cool! That is a nice card for sure! Yeah, in collecting cards there comes a point where you realize you have spend as much as you are willing to spend and I am realizing that there are just a ton of Griffey cards out there and I can't expect to get every one myself but am thrilled with how many rare ones I have come across! Just wondering how old you are? I'm 32 but most people think I look around 26!

 

[FriarG]

oh, man...that's one I'll never own I'm sure. last one went close to $4k methinks...gonna have to admire from afar. [drool]

[Pinbreaker]

I'm pretty sure some of you guys have one like this one..(at least Magicpapa does)

He's got a few teaser cards... next thing we will see the Red Crusade!

 

[Tpm2780]

WOW! That's crazy! Never could see myself spend that much on a card! I personally can't see that card going for that much but obviously if someone has that type of money then why not right?
