Mark McGwire Collector's Thread

[delsant2]

Hello everyone! Nice ttm autos. I have never tried that before, but it may be something I will have to look into. Where do you send them? What address and such (I don't know very much about it). Anyway, great stuff!

Figured I would share a few of my newer arrivals. Haven't seen many game used cards I need, so I have been picking up a few inserts here and there.

finest ref, stadium club one of a kind, leaf gold press proof, crown royal opening day, paramount plat blue, black diamond final cut, topps stars onyx, leaf preferred steel gold, hr chronicles die cut

Hope everyone is doing well.

Best Wishes,

Mark

Anybody here need this one? Snagged it on ebay for a steal because the seller had it listed as a regular Donruss Preferred.

1998 Donruss Prized Collections Preferred #733

As far as TTM, there is a ton of good info in the TTM board. I would get into it. It is addictive, fun, and if you are fine with non-cert autos, you can score some pretty nice stuff at a fraction of the cert price.

As far as who/where, you have to research the player/signing habits... there are online databases, some free, and some that you have to pay a small fee for...

I don't want to say a lot more because I don't want to hijack the thread, but the TTM board has a lot of helpful members that can help you further if you want to get into it.

Any chance the below auto is real? Been looking for an older McGwire autograph. I picked this up, included the entire Huntsville STAR set with this one being the only one autographed. I also picked up the 1995 Classic $100 Phone Card of McGwire the other day. The guy on ebay had 3 other ones listed, so assuming some fellow collectors on this board might have gotten the other ones.

Not sure on the Auto comparing it to my TTM I do not think so,but Big Mac Mcgwire and some of the others on here have more knowledge than me. Here is mine.

If it is real it's def an older signature. Looks kinda fishy to me, but we'll have to consult the experts.

Id say legit. Very very early sig

Heres mine

There ya have it. After looking at Big Mac's I'd say he's right.

Good to hear and thanks for the info. I picked it up for $25, so I wasn't 100% just from the price, but I had been looking for an early year signature and always wanted one of the Huntsville Star autos since I am originally from Huntsville and got to see him play in the minors there.

Id say legit. Very very early sig

Heres mine

Great idea. Im gona do that

Ha, I was pretty close to that myself. The first baseball game I got to see, was with the Huntsville Stars, with McGwire playing third base. At the time all I knew about baseball was if you hit a home run, you were the man. Funny enough, at my first game, McGwire hit a home run, and it all started then for me.
