Official Nomar Garciaparra Collector Thread

[exigussrex]

According to one of the sticky threads there are two Nomar collectors on the boards. I did not see a thread devoted to Nomar cards though. I'd love to see what others have since I'm slowly growing my collection. I've got a few binders of base cards, but I'll post some of my more rare cards for ya'll. Hope you and enjoy and please contribute.

A few older pick ups that I scanned all together (before I learned the art of scanning):

Nice stuff! I still love me some Nomar. I've never counted but I think I have about 500 base and inserts.
My GU and auto collection is below.

Great job on starting this thread I'll be chekcing it often!

I try and stay away from GU stuff except for low numbered cards. You've got some GU items I've had my eye on like the Mirror Red and the Triple Threads. Also, that Jeter/Nomar card was always a dream of mine growing up, so I'll definitely pick that up soon. Too bad the Jeter fans drive up the price so much.

I've got exactly 747 Nomar cards as we speak, nothing phenomenally rare though. I do have lots of cool stuff though, so eventually I'll try and get some stuff I have in-hand scanned. Here's some of my COMC scores:

Nice card!!!

Hey! Yours looks like mine! :lol:

Maybe you can tell me what in fact this is. Is it a patch, or a seam, or what? I know Playoff did put some patches in the Tools of the Trade set, even though they're listed as 'jersey' on the card. I would have bought it regardless of the swatch (it was stupid cheap on COMC), but the fact that it looks far more interesting than a plain grey swatch made it a no-brainer.

I have a Pedro Martinez card that's the same way and I wondered the same thing. It's actually some piping from the sleeve of the jersey. It took me a little while to figure it out too.

I am Nomar fan too. Watched him play in the CWS with GaTech and was excited when when the RedSox drafted him.

I collected Nomar when I first started collecting in the early 2000s (was about 9) and probably got up to about 50-60 different. Nothing valuable, but still fun. I love looking at the cards in this thread, really brings me back. Nomah!!

Someone please refresh my memory how to attach pics?I am spacing here.

I use photobucket to get the proper HTML code. I think if you click the "Img" tab you can insert a link to a picture file. It would look something like this

....If I'm wrong about that please correct me. I'm so used to having photobucket do it for me.

Anyways....a few more Nomar cards

I'm a college student on a tight budget, but I've been able to pick up several great Nomar cards over the past year or so...keep em coming! I know some members must have some rare stuff...

I just checked my organize. I have 730 different Nomar cards. All in a Red Sox uniform as I am more of a team collector versus player collector. Here is what I had in my photobucket at this time.
