Any new Gwynn pick ups? I haven't bought any Gwynn stuff lately.

The 1990 is new:

Awesome. Wish I could find the Caminiti from that set.

It's always fun to find a card that I have never seen before...
This is called 2005 Topps All-Time Favorites Originals Relics #'d/50:

Great card, but don't cross that off your "need" list quite yet. Topps didn't use the same card throughout the run on these. I have 4 Carews; three of them are different years.

 

[PadresFan86]

That's interesting. So these different cards are listed as one according to beckett?

According to Beckett: "print runs intermingle different cards" I have never seen any mention as to what years were used for what players. After checking what I have and looking at google, I have no idea how Topps went about this set. There seems to be no real grouping or pattern for the years on the cards. My 1982 is numbered 17/50, the 1984 numbered 47/50, and my two 85s are numbered 09/50 and 27/50. There is an 85 Carew listed on worthpoint that was numbered 30/50.

 

[PadresFan86]

Interesting. They are very nice cards. Thanks for sharing.

Finally picked up one of these, been wanting one for a while. Now I have to work on the other parallels. Off to watch my Buffs in the tourney.

Nice! I love those!

 

[PadresFan86]

Those are awesome. I have that one too :mrgreen:

In case you guys are as cameo crazy as I am, Gwynn makes an appearance on this promo sheet I have available...

 

[xcantgobackx]

Have I ever posted these here? Not sure if I did. Was going through some of my odd-ball Gwynn stuff and was looking at these...


A couple things I got when Tony was selling a bunch of stuff on eBay a few months back...








1986 All Star Game passport autographed

Cool inside page with a stamp indicating he attended the Post-Game Reception

1998 World Series Game 5 Ticket Auto

Pretty great stuff here. I love the 98 ticket cause Tony's one of my all time favorite players and the 98 Yanks are my favorite teams. A cool incident when worlds collided. Too bad it's for Game 5 which never happened.

 

[PadresFan86]

Really cool stuff. I love collecting players from the 98 season. :mrgreen:

Nice!!! The tributes this year are beautiful!!!

 

[PadresFan86]

They are awesome. I picked up a Winfield /99 too. I haven't seen the 1/1 for Gwynn pop up yet. The non relic 1/1 went for about 150.00. Almost bought it but decided against it.

 

[Gwynn545]

WTF??? "Bunches of Bingles"??? Doesn't even make sense!
It says it on the back, too... I don't get it...

 

[PadresFan86]

Lol, what the freak

 

[PadresFan86]

I just googled it. Bingle = hit safely

What a weird word though :lol:
