Kirby Puckett Collectors Thread

Whoa! I didn't even know those were produced. Cool pickup.

I see now its from a...$600 a box product! For 5 cards?!? I wonder what else they put in the repack?

They breaks are pretty nice on YouTube. I grabbed this for $40 dlvd. Way more than I wanted to pay but I may not get another chance so I grabbed it.

I'm excited to finally check these two cards off my want list. It's taken a long time to find them and I was able to pick them both up from the same lot. I paid more than I wanted to, but I must have been off base with my pricing on them...

Congrats! ^^ those are tough!

Congratulations! I'm still trying to track both down for my Bonds PC !

Nice! A while back I bought Worthpoint for a month and to dig through old sales of cards I need and basically create a price guide for those. Those 1994 Topps Black Gold Winner ABCD cards were a bit difficult to find in Worthpoint because people seem to list them on eBay in differing ways, but the point is, based on what I found, it seemed like they were generally in the $75-$150 range for each, with no discernible difference in demand for the two, over the last 5 years.

Wow for those Topps Black Golds! Those were impressive in 94. More impressive now

Thank you! I remember my uncle pulling and A/B/C/D from a pack when they came out, but I can’t remember if it was ‘93 or ‘94.

Just got this, these are pretty cool as this would have been given to Puckett himself

I’ve always loved that card because of that aspect. It’s also a really great looking card to boot with that design and all.

Here's my Players Private Issue: I'm still looking for a reasonably priced pack issued version of the card. I believe that was numbered 101 - 499 if I'm not mistaken.



I was also able to find a new material variation:

 

[K34PuckettAddict]

Has anyone seen any other variations of this card? Perhaps blank back, oversized or one without numbering and/or stamping altogether? Here's three that I have so far and would love to know if other variations exist.

Regular Version:



"Leaf Limited" Stamping Error (front of card, a small portion can be seen towards the bottom left and a larger portion in the bottom right)



Sequential Numbering Error (5084/5000)



At any rate, the wood grain was awesome on these cards and I loved the way they look.

Here's a recent pickup. I don't have a ton of luck landing cards I don't already have from my local card shops. However, Jacksonville Sports Cards has come through for me a few times. They texted me a picture of this card with a note asking if I needed it. I was able to pick it up on Sunday.

 

[bstanwood]

That's a cool serial error, I've never seen one like that.

A few recent pick ups:

 

[MatthewN]

These acquisitions are FAR from exciting, EXCEPT that I am very excited to cross them off of my need list, which is the ONLY excitement I think these cards can possibly offer...and that may be a sad statement about the mentality of my collecting, I suppose.

A random 1987 Broder that I'd seen but never been able to track down (and I doubt it's really less common than the usual Borders from the 1980's that always pop up)...

And the remaining 17 Star Company Puckett cards I did not have. Whew. Glad to be done with those, but I find them to be pretty dull. (Set is the Glossy set which doesn't seem to surface often)

 

[MatthewN]

I didn't even see this auction until I saw it in the Sold listings, but I didn't even realize there was a 1997 Collector's Choice 5x7 Jumbo card. It's now on my need list. I tried to read up on those in the usual places and found basically nothing. Anybody know how those were distributed?

[K34PuckettAddict]

Matt, can you please post a picture of the back of that Broder card? I have on with a similar front, but I think the font is different. I’m going from memory, but the back would help me. Thanks! Jeremy

I love those Star sets by the way. The 1988 set was the first thing I bought from eBay in 1998. I hadn’t seen them before that, so I was completely stoked and have liked them since that first set I purchased.

I may have interest in whichever one I don't have. Do you have a price in mind?

 

[K34PuckettAddict]

I’d be interested in them. I wasn’t able to get one of them yet and would love to have both variations. I don’t want to step on Josh to get them both though. Please let me know what you’d have to have for it/them.
