my whale has finally landed.....

[daveyou]

but about 4-5 years later :lol: :lol:

back in 03 and 04, he was one of my favorite players and i have always wanted this copy below

i thought he was a lock for 30 hr's and 100 rbi's but injuries really took a toll as he only played about 120+ games in 07 and 08 combined

however, he seems to have turned a corner this year with 17 hr's in only 62 games

with davis sent down, im sure he'll play dh/1b until help arrives

not bad for $34 bucks!

i thought our gift of the ichiro gold 9.5 was your whale. Gosh, couldnt you have just told us your whale was 34.00 instead?


kidding bro, congrats on the pickup, its a nice price

caseumsd6 - 01 bowman chrome, hands down, the best looking gold ref's. imagine a 01 pujols bc gold ref? :shock:

Nikobaseball - :lol: :lol: :lol: zach, if i remember correctly, blalock used to sell for quite a bit!

I still think that is a great buy for 34 bucks

yeah yeah, sureeee

and pujols 01 gold...that'd be a bit pricy.
But, makes you think. If pujols had base, refs, xfrac, and gold, would his base still be hitting what the refs do now? Would mean theres a lot more on the market and much easier to get the base or ref, but the X/gold would sell for crazy amounts

arod305 - i thought so too. probably hurt the sale due to misspelled name

scotty21690 - eh, ichiro sucks but since you ask :mrgreen:
