Official Tony Gwynn Collectors Thread

Started my quest for new Gwynn cards today since I haven't bought any in a great while.

I tried talking the seller down on this card but he won't budge at all.

What do you think it's worth? 8 dollars to ship it from Japan really sucks too.

Can't find this in the Beckett database. I wonder if I can send them an email to put it in.

Finally picked up a new Gwynn auto. The first as a married man, and it's one I've wanted for a while!

Nice posts, guys! I can't help on the Beckett issue, but their price guide is as messed up as their forums, so it makes sense!
Jony Gwynn is classic! Never seen one of those! And Mother f*ckin Tony F*ckin Gwynn...who says that? :lol:


Sweet Gwynn Goodwin auto! Great card, I agree!

 

[PadresFan86]

The seller also had a Jed Williams from the same set for sale lmao The T's kind of look like J's but holy shat, how do you not know who Tony and Ted are? Lol

A 98 black diamond bat card came up at auction for a good price but I forgot to bid on it. This card is one of my most wanted. Doh!

Hey! The four-screw holder makes the card look so much more expensive!!

Got this off COMC, too, along with those in the 90's thread. I knew if I waited I'd get this 2012 Topps Mini for less than $10...($6):

 

[PadresFan86]

Nice! I still haven't gotten that one yet. I want the 12 Gypsy Queen bat card next...

Nice pickups. My first Gwynn crusade came in the mail yesterday. Great looking card.

I like how you can search by game used cards on comc now. Makes things easier.

Might as well throw this in here I want to crack it out of the case so bad but I know I shouldn't.

Found a screwdriver! My Jony Gwynn card came in today too That was pretty fast from Canada.

Have any of you Gwynn Hunters read "Men At Work, The Craft of Baseball"? I'm only part way through but it's a book that delves into the depths of baseball. It is written by George F. Will. He looks at baseball through the eyes of the manager, pitcher, outfielder and infielder i.e. Tony La Russa, Orel Hershisher, Tony Gwynn, and Cal Ripken Jr. It's an excellent read so far and I have to rec it to any and all. If it's old news then my apologies.

Thanks for the recommendation! I will definitely check it out! And welcome to the boards!!
