Official Barry Bonds Collectors Thread

I figured I would start the New Year with something a bit newer. Not sure if this is the only full set in existence, but I can honestly tell you it took a lot of time and dedication to chase all of these down since they are serial numbered to 25 (all 29 of them). Hope everybody enjoys!!

Very impressive! I've never see another set and can attest to the difficulty of it as I only have 1! haha. In fact, I probably have about 75% of the regular HRH set so far. I'm thankful he didn't make it into Topps Moments and Milestones!

Hey Bonds collectors, new here and getting back into collecting. I've been collecting Bonds off and on since 96, and I build Topps base sets. I enjoy meeting other Bonds collectors and seeing all your stuff. I'll try to get up and running soon with scans and some video of my collection.

Welcome aboard! It's always nice to network with other Bonds collectors. I look forward to your future posts and video!

Here's a few random cards...

04 Donruss Production Line Black /35



06 Allen & Ginter (Ripped) /99



And one of my favorites...03 Topps Tribute Contemporary Gold /25

Nice!! The ripped cards sell really well for some reason; even with the relatively high print run by today's standards. There must be a lot of set builders chasing them.

Thanks Wayne. Yea, they don't come up too often. There's plenty of Topps set collectors out there and they really love A&G! I see the 07 is on ebay unripped for 275 obo! I'll shoot you back an e-mail in the next few days. Gotta dig through a few boxes...

Anyone here need a 93 Bonds Cooperstown Promo?

Another Buyback fake to watch out for.

Yep!! I have seen a few fakes from that same seller. I have seen a lot of fake Bowman buy backs sell on EBay. Maybe the guy will actually get caught some day.

Do you have 1 or have a lead on one? I'm putting the set together, slowly but surely, Bonds is needed.

Wanted to share this card I've had for a long time. Had it signed by Barry in the visiting clubhouse when I batboy'd for the Carolina Mudcats, at the time a AA affiliate of the Pirates, in 1992. The Pirates did an exhibition as they headed down to Atlanta. I got to work that game.

Thanks for sharing! That's a great old school auto of Barry's!

No worries. Thanks. If you find another, I'm a buyer. I'm 17 complete of 30 now.

New to this site though long time Bonds collector, I recognize a couple ID's (Wayne has added to my collection a few times)

 

[mistral38]

Weight just briefly scanned your you tube video of the 800 card Bonds auction......I picked up about 20 from the seller and yes it was refreshing to see the upward pricing ...that is until checkout as a buyer LOL. The collections Preferred Prized I knew would get a bit crazy but a few did shock even me

Welcome aboard mistral38! Your ID rings a bell. I know Wayne and I were both after that 98 PC Mirror Red. I was also eyeing up the Peter Maxx auto but came up short. I look forward to your future posts and hopefully some scans of your collection!

 

[mistral38]

Not much in the way of scans.....though I should do more. I have been bouncing around ebay since 2000 and a Bonds guy since 92 though I did take a breather on Bonds for a couple years 2001-2003 when pricing was a bit overboard. I will be looking for a new spot for an organize...it won't be Beckett again as they lost my whole database when they upgraded their system a few years back.
