Mark McGwire Collector's Thread

Picked this up

Nice Doc! I threw a low fishing snipe on it to see if I could steal it. There was some others I was hellbent on winning. You got that for a good price, too.

Did you get the 1997 Spx Grand Finale?

Nice refractor doc. How do they look in-person?

Yeah, but that went about what I expected. It was these two that left me shocked, I could have won a lot more auctions before if I knew:

I'm beyond ecstatic about the San Jose Mercury News newspaper card. I thought I would never see that. I thought it was black and white this whole time. I have the season end one on regular stock already.

What was your high bid on the Spx? I cost you some money. I guess I should have asked if you were going after it. I had already talked to Joe about it.

$200 even. I wanted it pretty bad and thought it would be plenty to win. It looks like it will grade well, I hope that's still the case when I have it in hand.

If that was the only card I wanted I probably would have went higher but I picked up a couple other cards within the past few days. I'll post some pics when they arrive. I wanted the Grand Finale as well but at least it went to a McGwire collector. It's in good hands. Congrats.

Sorry I missed this post. They look good in person. I really like refractors so I find myself buying refractors that are available over most other cards.

I killed my $203 snipe on this a few hours before the auction ended. I knew you were on it and how much you love the early 80's oddballs. Glad I did because it just would have wasted your money

Great pickups everyone!

Man, I'm glad you did, saved me $200. I REALLY wanted to win that one to pair with my other. Thanks buddy, I love the A's years.

Ebay is the cheapest. Those bats are long out if print

I would hold off till a game model comes around

By game model do you mean one that says "Oakland Athletics" or "Cardinals" ??

I'm looking to pick up a bat to try to get signed sometime.

Saw the thread about the 96 Studio Silver Press Proofs and realized I didn't have one. Until now.

yes. the ones that one that says "Oakland Athletics" or "Cardinals" ??
WOULD BE IDEAL to get signed in person. if your not getting a Game Used bat signed the next best thing is a Game Model bat. they have been popping up often this past year

 

[jam92102]

Stupid question, but I assume Big Mac isn't signing ttm.

Thanks for the advice. There's no way I could afford a game bat right now. I'll keep my eyes open for a Cards one.

Now that was a tough card to track down. I'm curious how many really exist now.

Great pickup!

Definitely a great pickup, I wonder as well. Some of these issues are tough to gauge how hard they are/will be to find. I knew it was rare, but didn't think it was that hard to find until it was mentioned.
