Roberto Alomar Collector's Thread

[jeffv96masters]

So it took me about a week to drive to storage and locate these. Sorry for teh lint / dust
A few quick 240 dpi scans of a few examplars of 2005 Donruss Impressions Samples in my possession
Many similar to the set where multiple examples of different poses or teams exist
The dot matrix sample printing is UNDER the surface - its been confirmed by an ESM machine its underneath

The stars wound up scattered to the highest bidders -- my pile is mostly semi-stars and rookies / scrubs

Hope this helps - btw sadly none of mine were Alomars of the 100+ I checked

Hey, that's pretty cool. Thanks for finding those and posting a few pics! It's odd to see them with that giant SAMPLE text. Most other DLP samples were printed in much smaller font. Maybe an Alomar will turn up one of these years

Well, the usual online sites have been a little dry lately. Some cool cards posted, but they're all in my collection already. It's OK though, these things happen. I am optimistic that in the next couple weeks some kind soul will list a card or two that I need, for a reasonable price...

In the meantime, here's one of my favorite early 90's magazine issues. The 1992 Ballstreet card. First one is the card itself, cut down to size from the full magazine panel. Second is the full magazine panel. The magazine itself was a small format, maybe half the height and width of a normal magazine. And each card panel was a full page. I just like this one.

Well here it is, that white whale I mentioned before. For a card with 100 copies floating around, this thing sure is hard to find. I think I might have seen one other one for sale online in the last 10 years. It's a damn fine looking piece of cardboard!

A scan just does not do these cards justice.

Not many new pickups recently. There were a few cards I wanted up for bid on ebay, but bidders kept pushing auctions to ridiculous levels. Some Alomar collectors with deep pockets have appeared recently, it seems.

But when these two came up I just decided to go big, and of course ended up overpaying for both. But sometimes, when it's been a while since you've gotten anything noteworthy in the mail, these are the things you do.

2004 Upper Deck Power Up Purple. Just need the lavender one now, which is the second-most-scarce one. I have the most scarce one (blue), and didn't pay a lot for it. But this stupid purple one, wow. I got had, but in a few years I won't remember what I paid for it, and I'll be glad to have it. Just can't make a habit out of that!




2003 Leaf Limited Moniker Jersey Number SN5. I like this 2003 Leaf Limited series, mainly because of the shininess and bold colors. But it's ridiculous. Alomar has five cards in the base set (count 'em, FIVE), and every one of them has like 15 parallels, including five autographed cards each numbered to 5.

Well, I'm sitting here listening to the Nuggets getting blown out by the Rockets. THE ROCKETS. And they've been getting blown out from minute one of this game. I mean, Jamal Murray gets hurt and the entire team collapses? WTF. I mean, except for Jokic, of course. That guy is otherworldly. I didn't know Serbia was a different planet. I thought it was just a different country...

Anyhoo, here's a little known oddball card. I've always had a soft spot for food issues, regional issues, and so forth.
