Just decided to start a new project.

[predatorkj]

Got 4 more in today which gives me 24 now in hand.Still no sign of the Chacon or Manny but I suppose they can wait.If anyone finds out any info they care to pass along on these cards I would certainly appreciate it.I am betting Chacon was not made and I am betting Manny is either super sp'd or something.Figured I would have seen at least one on ebay by now.

Anyway here's today's haul.

From ebay:

Got these two from Weather Warrior for $10 delivered!Good deal IMO.Thanks again!

And BoomerJack sent me this for absolutely free!Thanks a ton!

Should have about another 10 or so incoming including a Carlos Pena which proved to be a pain in the butt.There is just no way his autos should be outselling the likes of Gary Carter and Sheffield and even a few of the other stars out of this set.At least thats my take on it.

Anyways...thanks for the help guys!A lot of people have been very helpful in helping me get this far along.

Predatorjk,

1st off, I haven't sent the Documentary out yet. I have them ready, just haven't sent.

2nd, are you doing just the base, or the gold /50 also?

Thats okay since I haven't paid you the $7 yet anyway.

I am really just concentrating on the base set right now.I wanted to try the other parallels to see how far along I could get but at this time...money is tight enough to where I will just concentrate on the base set.Eventually I wouldn't mind adding the parallels in at some point in time.

Got some new ones in today.

A huge shoutout and thanks to rdg00001 for the free Papelbon auto!Thanks a ton bud!


And here they are:

I now have 29 of the set in hand.Still have a few more incoming.

 

[rdg00001]

Glad the Papelbon made it to ya! That s going to be a great looking set once it is complete!

 

[predatorkj]

Got one more in today!

 

[predatorkj]

Two more that came in today's mail!

 

[predatorkj]

Got two more in today.Man...these are getting tough to find.I am almost two thirds of the way through the set but they are starting to slim down a bit.

 

[predatorkj]

Got two more in this weekend.

 

[tonsofcommons]

Lookin good so far!

 

[predatorkj]

Lookin good so far!

Thanks.I am kinda running out of them to buy.There a couple I still need but the BIN price is a lot higher than it should be in my opinion so I have neglected to buy them so far.Even then though...I think I will still fall pretty shy of the set(15 or so) so I hope more of them pop up.This isn't something I want to be waiting on for two years or something like that.Thats why I chose this set in particular because I liked it and I could find a slew of the cards and they were not too expensive.Hopefully it won't be very much longer.

 

[tonsofcommons]

Do you want to post what you are missing for the set so I can keep an eye open for them?

 

[predatorkj]

The ones I am missing are as follows:

Carlos Marmol
Brad Hawpe
Brad Thompson
Will Nieves
Wilson Betemit
Shawn Chacon
Robinson Cano
Nate Robertson
Manny Ramirez
Marcus Thames
Joel Zumaya
Jeremy Guthrie
Jeremy Sowers
Jack Cust
Francisco Liriano *
Freddy Sanchez *
Eulogio De La Cruz
Duaner Sanchez
Chris Stewart
C.J. Wilson *
Claudio Vargas

The ones with a star next to them are ones I have seen on ebay but the price was a little more than I would have liked to pay.If in the next few weeks they do not drop I may just go ahead and snag them anyway.I made offers on a few but they always get shot down.If anyone finds any and is willing to part with it at a reasonable price let me know asap so I don;t buy another one in the meantime.

 

[predatorkj]

I got three more in the mail this last week.

 

[Therion]

Coming along nicely.

 

[predatorkj]

Coming along nicely.

Yes and no.I am 2/3's of the way through it but the availability of the ones I need is slimming up which means I may have to start paying $10 -$15 an auto and I am not sure if thats the greatest idea since a lot of the ones I still don;t have are no namers.Nothing to do but keep trying my luck.

 

[Therion]

They'll pop up. Just give it time.

 

[predatorkj]

Thats about all I can do.

from a fellow set colletor...DO NOT PAY MORE FOR IT THAN WHAT IT WOULD SELL FOR AN AUCTION haha..it will pop up in auction for sure and if you do pay more beleive me like a week later it will pop up and you will kick yourself, have done it numerous times :twisted:

Yeah...I just saved about $10 on the Napoli by snagging it in an auction.Thats what I was hoping to do with them all but I am just hoping this thing does not drag out longer than it should.Otherwise it may be worth it to pay the extra cash and at least not wait forever.I hate leaving things unfinished and I am starting to do this way too often.
