Milestone: over 3,500 different Gwynns!!

[Gwynn545]

For the first time ever, I bought some cards from Sportlots...
I found one dealer that had 44 cards I needed (almost all pre-2000). He was selling at a great price, and a bonus to find that many from one guy! Nothing even scan worthy, a lot of old Topps stickers, Panini, many random base cards, pacific minor inserts, etc...

(some I know I already have, but not with all of my Gwynn stuff. I figured for .35 per, it's easier to buy a new one than to hunt through hundreds of boxes!)

Still a ways to go, but it's nice to find so many at once.

Congrats on the 3500 mark!

Sportlots is great, I should do the same thing and knock a few easy ones off my list.

Nice!I am trying for 2500 different for Bags by the end of the year.

It can be hard once you reach a certain point.Just be glad you're still needing base and whatnot.It seems everything I still need is either gu, 1/1, or parallels and inserts.

Great job and keep it up!

Fantastic! Great work... that's always a highlight to find some stuff to cross off the list like that.

As a fellow player collector I can understand just how amazing that accomplishment is. Great work.

Thanks guys for the comments! I remember not too long ago I was contemplating stopping at 3141 different cards (in honor of his career hits) but it was impossible to stop! Having too much fun!

I wonder if FANDREW has passed me yet? He was only 20 cards behind late last year! THat's pretty amazing for a player that started 12 years after mine!
