Mark McGwire Collector's Thread

[Big Mac McGwire]

Happy 62 Everyone!

13 years ago tonight Our guy broke the hr record.

i remember being a sophomore in highschool sitting indian style on my beg. I even got choked up a little.
Regardless of what he was on, it will always be one of those "i remember where i was when" type moments.



Here are 62 related items that are my favorite.

One of my all time favorite cards.
I remember losing a bid to aquire the 40 Man Buyback version back in 2004. It ended at 1300$.
Last year i sent one in to be signed at a private signing he did. Looks even better then the buyback.

Your best shot is always a high BIN with the BO option so you can negotiate. I don't know what the grading landscape is like these days so I can't tell you what is good for those cards. I don't know of many graded McGwire collectors outside of Walt and I know he only goes after 9 or 10's.

Think I'll take those since I don't have any of the sportkings autos yet.

 

[jam92102]

Getting rid of almost everything. Any body interested in this entire lot for $25 dlvd?

It's not serial numbered, so I assume it's a backdoor.

I have a ton of McGwire base and inserts so if anyone wants a huge lot, lmk.
When my Dad was alive he collected everything McGwire. I even have a Tom of Highland Mint bronze coins commemorating #62. Lmk if anyone is interested.

Wow, cool pickup! That really takes me back, I had that exact folder in 5th grade to hold my Math homework. I also had a green one for Social Studies. :ugeek:

Getting harder and harder to close the loop on these two sets. Knocked another off the tek list though. Apparently already had the refractor...doh!

You know you have an insane collection when you buy a RARE card and you forgot you already had it.

I love those!
