******** Saturday Morning Thread ***************

[clarkzac]

man my last TTM was about 2 years ago. I haven't done that in a LONG time

I just started this year. It gave me something to do in between classes when I was away at school, and I've just continued to do it throughout the summer. I started working on getting 2 different sets signed which was a bad idea :lol:

Going to the beach with my dog for the first time. Hoping she doesn't eat sand.

Good day all.

Had no internet for about 29 hours. It was nice to be free from it from a day, except all my class registration and job applications are online.

Anyways, I got in a bunch of stuff today, which none of you are interested in I'm guessing.

Getting sets done is "almost" impossible, but it's sure fun to try!

I'm working on 87 Fleer myself.

Afternoon all! How's the Saturday treating us?


Looking for Alex Rodriguez Cards, PM me.

 

[clarkzac]

I agree. I'm at 30/350 for 2008 ginter and I think I'm around 8-10/165 for 2012 draft

 

[muskiesfan]

Good afternoon guys. I hope it's going well for everyone.

I'm back. I had all intentions of hanging around here today, but I shaved my head, ran a couple of errands, did the laundry, and counted up my Reds autographs.

If anyone is interested, I have a grand total of 292 Reds autographs from 111 different Reds players. I need to get some scans and pics uploaded so I can show off some of this stuff.

 

[Ty Hope]

Anyone know good prices to sell a 2006 and 2009 ginter set for? Put both together, but going to move them.

 

[Ashburn Alley]

:shock:

Excellent mailday!

Thanks. I love the look of this set.

Wife's niece pitches on a 8th / 9th grade team ----- she's #1 pitcher BUT only in 6th grade . Well she was to pitch today so we drove to watch only to be rained out . Glad it was nearby because we have MIL that's in a wheelchair and not out of car when storm hit .
Down sizing items I take to stadium - only four nights left , only about $1200 less made from last year .
Shifting my Ebay to more football UGH all that new posting .
Muskie ; show us the odd autos

 

[clarkzac]

Scanning the break I did today. Bought more than I had planned, but it was too hard to resist. Here's a rundown of what I opened-

2010 Bowman Draft- 8 rack packs
2012 Topps Value Box (5 Series One packs and 2 Heritage Hobby)
2013 Allen and Ginter
2012 Bowman Chrome
2013 Allen and Ginter Blaster

We were out of town shopping (an hour away) and while there we heard an ad on the radio. The store was called something along the lines of "Game Time." I wanted to hear the whole ad just to see what it was with a small hope that they would have some cards. The store is 97.9% Magic, 2% video games, and 0.1% sports cards. They had boxes of 2011, 2012, and 2013 Heritage, 2012 Finest, 2012 Bowman Platinum, 2013 Series One and Two, and a few others that I can't recall, along with some football. I picked the 2012 Chrome for $75.

Barry- I'm not sure if you mean lesser known players or autos on odd things or whatever. I don't have much, but here's a couple of things.

My dad gave me all of the autographs. They're on slips of paper. Some of the paper is reddish/pink. He and his little brother would get autographs from Reds players and then cut the pieces of paper up into weird little shapes. I cropped them to be square, so you can't really tell. You can see that the Wayne Granger one has a diagonal cut on the upper left hand corner. I asked him why they cut them up. He said he has no idea. He said they would just cut designs around the autographs. :lol:

This one from RedsFest last year. It's tough to see, but Sam LeCure signed under Clay Carroll. Crystal had him inscribe it "Mustache Power". :lol:

This one is not from my Reds collection, but probably the most odd of my autos

From meeting Lee Smith at the National a couple of years ago. I helped work the line, so he and I talked a lot. He's really funny. He signed autographs for us from the FCB booth. On the sweet spot, he signed his name and 478 Saves. On the panel beneath, you can see he signed A XXXX Load of K's. :lol:

 

[clarkzac]

Scans are uploaded! If anybody wants anything let me know! I think I'm going to hold the Bauer for now. Should I redeem it now and just hope that I get it? The Lawrie die-cut is already spoken for as well. Other than that, I think everything should be up for grabs. The Seager GU is damaged and /199. It has creases around the window. The other USA GU is /50. Overall, I don't think I'll get anywhere near my money back unless Bauer turns it around soon. I did destroy the odds overall though! The Bauer RC auto is 1:1545, The Blue USA GU is 1:53, the red is 1:220, CJ Wilson is 1:29.

Joe - Those are pretty cool. I got Al Franken to sign a Twins mini helmet at the Fest one year.
