Junk wax rookie quantities...how many are too many? Randy Johnson

[MojoDan]

Woolworth made some great mini sets. Wish they were still around.

I agree that you should just keep going, perhaps your next goal should be to fill an 800ct storage box with each Johnson RC you collect. That should keep you going for a while, and also pick up every PSA 10 / BGS 9.5/10 you can find (budget withstanding).

1000 for each pigeon he brutally murdered.

 

[ThoseBackPages]

Mike, how many O-Pee-Chee's do you own?

 

[Frow]

Just set up a little script so every time you post you buy a Johnson

 

[200lbhockeyplayer]

Mike, how many O-Pee-Chee's do you own?

11, same amount as the Tiffany.

Therefore...never enough.

 

[200lbhockeyplayer]

1000 for each pigeon he brutally murdered.

That's only 200 more...easily attainable.

11 is impressive. that wax is very difficult to find

When you finally get them all, let the rest of us know how many 1989 Donruss cards were printed so we can get some idea of the insane production numbers from that era. My guess is that you give up after about 15,000 copies (leaving another 1,750,000+ still in the field).

 

[hive17]

I'm thinking you corner the market.

Agreed...

 

[MojoDan]

...or...and I'm just thinking out loud here...200lbs of them?

 

[leatherman]

I think you go after the 1989 Fleer variations. Get every version, as many copies of every version. Know every difference, large or small, between every version of the card. Calculate the percentage of each version of the card. Become the resident expert on the 1989 Fleer Randy Johnson. Anytime anyone posts about a 1989 Fleer Randy Johnson, no one says a damn thing without referring to you first. Kind of like RITM is with the Ripken minor league issues.

That's what I think you should do.

 

[cbrandtw]

If its still fun, keep going. Get one rookie card for every K and stop there Ian

I like this idea as well.

Can you give us a breakdown on quantity of each one? Maybe a different goal will come from that.

 

[mlbsalltimegreats]

I agreed with whom ever said collect until you reach his strikeout total then after that send them to Tim Carroll to cut up and make you a Huge Framed Randy Johnson Rookie Card of your choice!

 

[ballerskrip]

Mike, what do you normally pay for them, just curious....

 

[Halonut]

I hear ya Mikey...they're hard to pass up. I have 100+ Chuck Finley Topps Rookies, 100+ Mark Langston Topps Trd XRC, 100+ Jim Abbott Topps Trd OLY XRC to name a few. Sad thing is, I wouldn't hesitate to take on more if the price was right.

 

[Gwynn545]

Sounds fun! I am itching to do it again myself. I stopped doing it with Gwynn when I turned this:

into this:

Thus ending my attemp at continual hoarding...

 

[thelesquad]

You got rid of the Gwynn's? Well, I guess the card you got for it makes up for it.

Sky's the limit.

I'm up to 30+ Sandberg Topps RC. Been a while since I've picked any up.

 

[MojoDan]

Wow. I was just thinking we needed the Gwynn pics to add to this thread. (I may have a feeble 100 RJ rookies myself)
