Mark McGwire Collector's Thread

[jbs189]

I have two postcards that sound like they might be what you are talking about. I have them in my card listing as 2000 Palm Beach jumbo cards, I have two versions (see above). My understand was that they were given out during a spring training game back in 2000 in Juniper Florida at Roper Dean Stadium (home of the Cardinals Spring Training). The Palm Beach Post newspaper was the one sponsoring the giveaway. Hope this helps.

Those aren't on the site. I actually haven't seen those before. Nice! I'll add those next week when I get some time.

Just a note for any McGwire collector that hasn't done so already, PM me your email address so I can get you started on the site we have now and for the new site that is coming.

YES! The one on the right is what I am talking about. I don't believe mine is jumbo sized though. I think it is the size of a standard card. When I get back in front of my collection I will know for sure. I have a few cards that are a bit "different" than some standard cards, as well as a few printing plates. I also have a few cards that are on the site, but not pictured. I should send over the scans sometime soon. Probably not this coming weekend, but the following one. Thanks again for looking for me.

I've got a heck of a lot of stuff to scan but so far I think this is the only thing really worthy of posting:

Love the card. I was bidding on that one on ebay back when it sold. Nice pickup, first one I have seen of McGwire.

Nice pick up. I've been looking for the Ozzie since, well, forever.

I was curious if anyone knew anything about the two below cards. Just picked them up. They are a bit odd as neither is exactly the same as the 1997 Metal regular issue, but if you lay the cards on top of each other they produce what was eventually released as the regular set.

Hey all. I have the two below mcgwire's out of my PC I'm wanting to trade for a certified Mcgwire auto (no ttm, or ip). I've always wanted an official certified auto of Mcgwire so please if at all interested let me know. I will trade both towards a decent auto.

 

[Big Mac McGwire]

Just a warning. STay away from the 3 signed McGwire cards done in gold paint pen. They are all fake and they are decent forgeries but they will fool the mac collector that are not gurus like some of us on here. Stay away they are all FAKE

Thanks for the heads up.

From the proof sheet most likely. Here is the FCB link discussing them:

http://www.freedomcardboard.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=102149&hilit=1997+metal

and I think this is 1 of sheets uncut on ebay:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...t=0&_trksid=p3286.c0.m270.l1313&_fvi=1&_rdc=1

They look to be fairly rare and obscure. I wish Will Clark made it on that sheet, but my guess is, if those players exist on that sheet, other players exist on another sheet, so I'm assuming there is a Will Clark out there somewhere. Good find!!!

Man those are sweet! Are they the same size as a regular psa graded card? Can't tell from the pics.

 

[Big Mac McGwire]

no, much taller and wider.

 

[Mark McGwire Museum]

Don those look great. I wonder why the Brewers ticket isn't in the same holder as the Cardinals. That's a standard size ticket I think and exactly what those holders were made for.

You going to go next year and get a bunch more? I've been saving cards that I think would look awesome signed if you do.

hey Jay, Well I hope he returns next year. 3 babies to go along with 2 young boys is alot for 1 mother. So i have my doubts.

Im waiting for the next private signing. This is the stuff i got lined up.

3 - 16x20's - 1 with Mattingly and Him, hopefully get Matts to do it after Mark does it, 1 from a 96 game at yankee stadium and another 96' swinging shot, realized i need some 16x20's in a A's Uni

Various cards- need 94,96,00,02 UD. They will finish the autograph base version set for every year.

1997 Game Used Bat.


That's the focus. Im gonna pay a decent amount of coin, but all guranteed full signatures. The bat is what i want the most.

 

[jam92102]

Anybody interested? $70 shipped or best offer

 

[17ROCKIES12]

I'm sure most of you have seen this, but here is an IP auto I got this year

I should be able to make it to 9 Cardinals games next year, so I'm hoping to get at least one more.
Things I want signed
1) 1991 Topps (for my set)
2) Something from the 1998 All Star Game in Colorado
3) Ticket from when I saw him play in '98
