Didn't you just have a huge haul last week or the week before? Now you're saying this is a haul of a lifetime. I'm anxious for you to share. I was excited for you with the last cards you shared with us.

@MansGame

Didn't you just have a huge haul last week or the week before? Now you're saying this is a haul of a lifetime. I'm anxious for you to share. I was excited for you with the last cards you shared with us.

Yes, I posted the story in the MT late last night but essentially I came across another fellow Belle collector who had a collection nearly as good as mine which was exiting the hobby. I started by slowly acquiring smaller cards and then eventually knocked down 6 or so printing plates from the '90s and then the big haul of the Red Crusade a few '90s 1/1s. From there, we decided to work towards just inking a deal for the remaining 55-60 cards that I needed of his and finally did that and the lot arrived last night.

It's impressive to say the least. Not only were they stored very well but they're cards from the '90s and '00s which a lot I've never seen before. I've already cataloged them and it's put me at nearly 89% of all Belle cards recognized by Beckett. I don't want to give away any of the cards but will post them up tonight either in it's own thread or in here. I'm EXTREMELY stoked about this haul... just amazing.

Someone ( [MENTION=2418]George_Calfas[/MENTION] ) needs to shut this thread DOWN, because I am not sure who is going to want to follow that! Albert Belle forever!!!!! Bring on Oh Super Sweet 90's Thread #4 !!!! Stunning pickups, and to think they came all together!

 

[MansGame]

Nice!

Thanks dude!

Yowza! That Ex is awesome!

Thanks Andy! It's really nice in hand... when I get to it, I'll take out of that awful screw-down case and scan.

LOL! Thanks! It truly is - Still going through it all in detail. I am planning to finish tomorrow... wish I had better pictures but it was too good not to give a sneak peak

Love the Z2. Probably will never own the Rickey, but would love to see one.

Awesome pick ups Mac. Can't wait to see the rest of the stuff. Was that the same credentials card you traded away earlier this year?

Great questions, that would of been too too good! This was the 1998 I got this time and I traded away the 1999 earlier this year

I can see you're on cloud nine with these pickups, as well you should be! Those cards would totally make my year as a player collector. Nice job, and thanks for letting us see them!

You have no idea... this year has been mind blowing actually... I think I've added like 200+ cards I think to the PC including nearly half the Top 10 wanted I made at the beginning of the year (ie Red Crusade, Z2, etc.)

It's crazy because I really am running out of cards to acquire pre-2001 for Albert Belle. I've taken a look down the list and there really isn't any low hanging fruit... vast majority are printing plates and 1/1s. The biggest hurdle really will be getting the last few patterns for 1998 Tek and then 1998 Tek Diffractors and 1999 Tek Golds.

What are the print runs for 1999 Bowman Chrome Gold? Not the Gold refractors, I know they are /25.

They're not serial numbered. Beckett doesn't list the print run.

I found on baseballcardpedia that international refractors were 1:76 packs and are serial'd to 100. Series 2 Golds are 1:24 so roughly 300 and Series 1 are 1:12 so roughly 600?

I'd estimate Series 1 Golds to be in the 600s and Series 2 to be in the 200s.
