Recent slab pickups / grading

[2014BESTSERVICE]

Couple more 90's inserts from my box breaks over the years. The past 8 years or so posted various boxes I took from storage and cracked open. Proves the old adage that " pack fresh does not mean pack perfect" when it comes to item condition. Havent posted more due to needing to clean the floor up here

In looking for my missing 2005 Zenith slabs = many of which I just found and will pic take, came across more 2006 stuff that should have been in prior boxes. Todays 1st post will cover the 2006 Bowman base set


A look at the #beckettmedia website shows 9 possible items. Of the 9, there are 4 printing plate 1/1. This leaves 5. Of these there is a Red 1/1.


Just 4 left. I have the raw base and Blue/500 sitting in a grading pile thats collected dust for 15 years. I generally only use base cards as bottom pile fillers on bulks, and a card that high serial numbered sits until the series is almost complete . So just two left


Attached are the two I subbed Gold was an order filler, while the White was an actual desired one as its lower serial numbering = and uniform # serialing = made it acceptable to get in early. Pretty sure my serial # guy will buy


Enjoy

Part 2 of todays 2006 Bowman posts are the 2006 Bowman Chrome slabs I found with the missing Zenith items. There are more cards buried and no this is not all I have of the Chromes, just what I was able to find

Today for nearly 12 hrs endured a localized service outage with Cox that prevented postings. Gotta make up for lost time. In looking for the still missing Throwback slab I've founf my colored Epix slabs. Not all that I own just the slabbed ones so far. Because they are not making my cut off they'll be sold off

Epix in 2005 had 4 levels = syarring from highest serial to lowest it went Play, Game, Season, Moment. Slabbed those I came across over 10-15 years just havent done them all

Attached are 3 of the 4 orange just misding the Game one. Even wiyh a canera - see pic 4 - ghis color really doesnt agree with me for eye appeal. Its nice it just doesnt POP

Enjoy will be posting more

Part 2 of the 2005 Zenith Epix colors is the BLUE run, which I happened to complete because I just got them out of the backlog boxes faster

As you can see , a camera shows how the color pops better. Not wasting time redoing scans I've done already

Enjoy and the slabbed Purple is next

Again not all I own folks lots of dupes sitting in storage not looking at raw right now

Part 3 of the 2005 Zenith Epix colors slabbed already is the PURPLE subset. Just needed to slab the Season variation to have the run. Again raw sitting in boxes. During years if submissions I'd generally slap 1 or 2 on as serial number fillers in bulk subs. As you can see purple needs to be seen in person even cameras dont capture these well enough

Enjoy

Before I go and scan more of the Epix slabs decided to knock off more if my floor slabs been sitting there chilling. Trying to clear this floor is like swatting dust

These are returns from the 1995 Collectors Choice box broken 6 months ago. Wish the Silver Signature didnt have the chipping and was better centered

 

[2014BESTSERVICE]

More Bagwells dug up from the floor mess, these from 1996. Little known fact but the Base Bronze (common) is the most difficult of all the Finest that year to Gem. I have a 50+ pack here locally, and when I went through all only two made the cut. This one got the 9. Back when I set collected never saw the Gem 10 in the wild.

Base Bronze Pop 2 just 1 higher
Bronze Refractor is a Pop 1

Figuring out pricings gonna be difficult as no sales on the Refractor and limited on the Base. I will say like usual the database is missing auctions

Enjoy and later will show off the easier Silver ( uncommon) versions and last the Golds (Rare)

Enjoy

Continuing the Jeff Bagwell 1996 Finest run are the Base Silver and Gold. Scanners show up as ugly and dark. These are marginally better on my cheap phone but not much. As usual will gave to research more as pricing really isnt reality, its manipulative and a good 6-8 months behind reality

Enjoy. Refractors next

#beckettmedia #beckettgrading #topps

 

[2014BESTSERVICE]

Last two Bagwell 1996 Finest base items the Silver and Gold Refractors. Both are Pop 4 Gems

Enjoy think I have another buried will see if its here or storage

Next on the inventory list of stuff is 2005 Donruss Throwback Threads. First grouping attached covering the CENTURY STARS subset.
