Mark McGwire Collector's Thread

[onionring9]

Got some interesting cards a couple weeks ago. The first is one I was told about eons ago but decided either a) it didn't exist or b) it couldn't be found:

1988 Score PROMO Error (notice the 0's on the back because it was one of the ridiculously rare promo's)

These guys popped up on ebay and after I bought them I asked the seller about them. He said they were pulled off the R&D floor of Upper Deck by a former executive there. I don't know anything about the Ovation. The Treasury card is pretty beat up and I can see the same wear and tear on the coin - this card has been loved. The medallion one is an ovation card that was cut and attached to some primeline stock which the medallion is anchored to. Whoever cut the card itself, looks like they did it by hand because the left most corner is cut into the card (can barely see it on the scan). If anybody has any info on these, please share!

From the look of the pic , its sad to say we will not see the beautiful full signature autographs we saw in the 2002-2003 Upper deck cards. These museum collection autos resemble the panini usa autos. Which is a mix between the full and the ballpark auto.

The triple threads sticker auto is a minus but the game used relics look great.
just hope he has nicer autos then the ones i just posted ����

As an aside.....Mark's two nieces (Dan's daughters) live in my hometown and are absolutely tearing it up in H.S. basketball. They are big girls....and really good!!!

Where'd you find the pic of Mac signing???

Pretty happy bout this , but i dread the auto that might be on it.









Not happy with these 2 cards i just got back from private signing. Pretty much ballpark style. And this is from a PAID signing.





Compared from a UD card from same guy who did the private signing in 2011, there is no comparison

I inquired about the 3/4 autos too. I was hopeing for a full sig on my bat. But, what do you do?

Here te is my 92' bat i got done i didn't even want to show this cam.





these 2 are NOT Mine. They belong to a friend of mine. He was pissed. My 92' is not as bad as these.




Here are 2 jerseys he got done. Both game used.

I was kind of worried when he said he was taking 500 items. I also later found out that McGwire was doing a Dodger signing on Jan. 31st.

 

[Bane50]

I had a card, patch, and bat signed.

Figured there wouldn't be many of these signed:



This is the patch off of the Starter jacket I wore in High School back in the early 90's:

We can always sand the bats down and try again!

That REALLY sucks on those Jerseys though.

 

[Bane50]

Wonder why he swapped between blue and black ink on the bats?

 

[Big Mac McGwire]

I asked for blue

This brings back memories...

Hello all...

I haven't been on FCB in a good period of time. I am glad to see that the McGwire thread is still going strong. The thread required me to go through some of my favorite Mark McGwire items. One of my favorite auto'd cards is displayed below.



Thank you,

Karl

Got this back. First one out of 10.

I hate the fact that he has changed his sweet sig to this shortened rush job.

And he had plenty of room to write it out.
