MINOR UPDATE MAILDAY! - Frosty's GQ Leather Minis (Scan-Heavy)

Re: Frosty's Gypsy Queen Leather Minis (Scan-Heavy)

That's pretty nuts. I like collecting low-numbered sets, and considered the GQ Leathers or Stamps sets, but decided 350 #/10s is too nuts. Focusing on certain numbers is even more nuts. With whatever premium might be attached to 1 and 10, that's the most nuts I can imagine, except for jersey numbers. Congratulations on your progress and good luck on your completion.

Ha, I know I'm nuts. Well, going for certain numbers kind of does help control how often I buy cards as it did for my Magglio Ordonez focus for the past several years. Maggs has thousands of #ed cards so I felt and still feel it would lead to burnout if I buy his cards on a regular basis if I don't care what # it is.

If you complete this, it might be one of the best sets put together all time.

Oh, someone finally noticed my 2/13 update... I was wondering why there weren't any comments...

I sure hope to find all 350...but I doubt it. I'm already past 100 and will post the next update within a week or two. It'll have at least two more HOFers.

02/27/12 UPDATE - #42, Ripken Jr and more!

G'aft everyone! Big update! Made it past 100...that's a nice milestone. 2 HOFers...#42 Jackie Robinson and Cal Ripken Jr! I never thought I'd get Ripken Jr for my set anytime soon considering how aggressive those player collectors are. I also want to thank Josh (JRM) for joining FCB so to make a deal with me on Bartlett...that was downright kind of him to contribute like that. I'm very grateful for that. Hope you enjoy this update!

Included: Cameron Maybin, Jackie Robinson, Jason Bartlett, Ted Lilly, Jose Reyes, Daniel Bard, Cal Ripken Jr (did I really get him? Daaamn) & Brian Bogusevic.

RIDICULOUS collection, man. I thought you were crazy when i first heard about this venture on Beckett, but I am astounded at how many you've picked up in such a short time. Congrats, and I'll keep an eye out for you

That is an awesome collection!! Way to go man!

Re: RIPKEN JR MAILDAY!! - Frosty's GQ Leather Minis (Scan-Heavy)

Thanks for the nice compliments, guys!

And for those who say they'd try to look out for more at shows...YES, PLEASE DO!! Any help/effort would be so very much appreciated! I mean, I don't think certain examples will make it to the online world so yeah, I need plenty of showgoers' sharp eyes from coast to coast. That would be beyond awesome.

JETER MAILDAY!! - Frosty's GQ Leather Minis (Scan-Heavy)

03/29/12 UPDATE

March's almost over but not without a big update! This has to be one of the happiest updates I'd ever make in a long time... Like Ripken Jr, I wasn't sure if I would be able to get the Big Kahuna himself, Derek Jeter...because of how tough it would be to get any of his low-#ed SPs due to immense popularity...but I somehow managed to get him! :mrgreen: (Alex D, good guess! You win the nonexistent contest! ) Also very happy to add two more Tigers to this set. And I want to thank Tommy (TGutta) for being willing to swap his Denard Span #01/10 for another example. Thank you very much! Please enjoy! Already working hard on the April update!

Included: Justin Verlander, Derek Jeter, Frank Robinson (Orioles), Bobby Abreu, Brennan Boesch, David DeJesus, Mark Teixeira, Roy Oswalt, Erik Bedard, Colby Lewis, Denard Span and Hunter Pence.

Fewer and fewer, obviously...

I think the April update will be just as good!
