Not bad actually.I have been kinda picky about what I'll pay because there are 61 names on the checklist so I can not afford to pay whatever for all of them.Besides...a lot of these guys are scrub guys anyway.Still though...I love the set.
Yeah.. I think you will have no problem finishing this.. awesome set too..

did you win that triple auction?

Never really looked at Shef's auto before. I'd expect something scribbly considering his presonality, but that's actually a very nice signature.


Yes...its actually very nice looking.Oddly enough I thought the same way you did but ever since I got on here I have seen a few of them and they actually look okay.

Since when did Todd Jones and Tim Lincecum have the same signature? lol


They do look similiar don't they.Most of the Todd Jones autos from this set all look like that so I guess that just the way he signs.Unless they made a major error and put Lincy autos on all of his cards.That would be okay by me though! ;)

I actually got that Haren from Tonsofcommons along with a Bagwell I needed.I don't think I have the other two but thats still not a bad deal.I have nailed about 20 of these so far.I will feel a lot better after I find and buy a Manny one.That will probably cost the most.

The jones looks right, based on my limited knowledge. See how it could've progressed based on this 1997 IP auto?

You know what would be awesome...

Put these in a frame, 20 to a frame, with a transparent back and shine a light through them!

Actually only paid $15 for this so I figured it wasn't too bad of a deal.The $35 sticker is just on the toploader...I don't think I would have wanted to pay that much.

Cool set you got going!! Any big names in it?


The only big names that I haven't nabbed yet is pretty much Manny Ramirez and Jonathan Papelbon.

I already purchased the Gary Carter and Jose Reyes. I am still waiting on a Strawberry from weather warrior.

I do hope to see a Manny soon though I am not sure if I will be able to snag it.

One odd thing I noticed is Shawn Chacon is in the set.Still haven't seen one but I figured he wouldn't be in any more baseball sets for at least a little while.It would be cool if topps made a variation card of him choking Ed Wade.I'd buy that in a heart beat! :lol:

What percentage are you at?

And +1 in regards to a card of Chacon choking Wade.


When everything at this very moment that I have already paid for arrives...I will have just over half the set complete(31/61).But...I am not sure if a few of these cards were even made or if they are just super sp'd or something.I have yet to see a Manny or a Chacon surface.The list I got was from topps website so who knows.I did check beckett but they only listed like 40 or 50 in the set and while I was on there I got a pop up on my computer saying that my IP address was being tracked so I immediately closed the window and have not been back since.Not sure what the heck that was all about so I don't plan on ever using beckett again.Not sure why they would do that but whatever.

As for the Chacon...yeah...I'd love it.I would probably get it signed from both parties. :lol:
