Mark McGwire Collector's Thread

Love finding new cards!

John alerted me to this new jumbo card I hadn't seen before. Looks like the jumbo version of the AS8

McGwires Nike Cleats look comfortable like in the picture posted above. Those are awesome.

im goin after it i expect you guys will too.

i doubt it will go for 3k like the one i saw
back in 02. very curious to see

DId ya get it?

DId ya get it?

Congrats Joe on the future baby!

Jam,
I know it's insanely rare and gorgeous, but for about 200$ more bucks i can get a full bat. Now don't get me wrong, the card is an ABSOLUTE WHALE of SICK
Card, but i mean, what would you rather have, i know it's 3/4, but a full game used bat thats signed, and just the barrel?
Im not doing a towel job because i didn get it. I actually put a max bid in of 750, but think about it, logically it don't make sense, but
i hope someone on here got and not some dude thats gonna ross



I have a friend who is also a game used bat collector. Im saving up to buy a signed game used 95' bat of Mac's for about 1150$. 95' for whatever the reason is a very hard bat to find and it would go perfect with the year sequence i got goin.

Chances are mcgwiremuseum or onionring
have it. They both have insane MAC card collections.
If they do have it and they doules, maybe you can work
something out. If they dont have doubles then
you can scream all you want, your still gona be cardless.
Ill check the web site he uses and ill get back to ya:

 

[ewess77]

THANKS. I WILL KEEP LOOKING. THEY HAD TO FIND THESE CARDS SOMEWHERE, AS WILL I.

Is that a 1988 Score Promo in your avatar ewess77?? Nice! I have a few: Dawson, Boggs, Larkin, but have never seen a McGwire

 

[ewess77]

Thank you!! The seller called it a Rhodamine Variation. It lacks his name on front and his stats on back. Hopefully not toxic given the name! I also have a variation that is normal on front but has all 0's listed for his 1987 stats. They called that card a Proof.

 

[Bane50]

Finally back!

Does anyone have an extra 2000 Topps Tek McGwire Green? I have a Blue I can trade.

Thanks,

 

[jbs189]

Yeah, great card, I have been looking for the one with the name on the front and 0's on the back for 1987 for a while with no luck. Definitely a good find

So im not the only one to create McGwire on the show huh lmao. I used a baseball card to build him exactly as he was in 1989 (my favorite A's Year, great team, and they won the series) Lol I built him as mainly a power hitter and his stats ended up pretty close to the real McGwires from 89. It was aweome, im not sure which batting stance to use, I think i put it on generic 25

yea man i finally got around to creating him. i was hesitant
about making him cause i was worried they wouldnt have batting stance
that looked his. Im a stickler for batting stances. thats what makes the
game realistic. i wanted to make some trades to make some trades
to add some "Moneyball" era players. i added J.Damon, J.Giambi,
B.Zito, T.Hudson, and then players im a fan of/ Harper, Longoria, Ian Desmond.

Back to 89' , if i was 6yrs old then that means
you werent born yet lol

Just saw a big time McGwire listed on the bay. Don't know how you guys are about posting links to live auctions, so I'll let you find it.

I haven't even been on ebay in what feels like months. Between my office and my daughter being born I don't have time for my hobbies anymore.

What did I miss out on?

Congrats Joe! Nice to hear your baby finally showed up! Life changing, right? It's such an awesome experience. You'll be back in it in due time, I took a pretty long break myself. Hope everything is going great.
