YA Tittle

Good Morning. Soccer and then cleaning the card room. If anyone wants I'll fill a flat rate with cards and send it out. You just pay the shipping.

What size? Or did tramers already claim it?

 

[tramers]

Tech ; what do you collect ?

The BIN on that was very very nice. I almost hit it a few times but showed restraint. In fact, $10 under the higher numbered version sold for at auction.

Kind of a hard question - but long story short: everything. I'm a bit obsessive and a completionist. Although there are certain players and series that I enjoy I really am going for anything I don't have and fill in gaps in sets or perhaps create new ones haha

So pretty much I'm just trying to get anything and everything I don't have.. sounds a bit crazy and perhaps impossible but it also makes me very easy to please as I am thrilled with every card I get whether it's a penny card, game used, something valuable, auto, insert, or whatever. Naturally the better the card, the happier I am but I'm just trying to get everything I can a card at a time. Keeps me busy doing something positive/productive and I enjoy managing the collection. It's a bit tedious at times, but when time permits I love to just sit in front the computer and sort through a box of random cards and get them all added in my Beckett organizer... nothing like watching my collection grow!

Then usually I try to use any doubles I get of rookies/all stars/MVP/cards like A & G, Heritage,etc. for TTM projects.

A rather broad open ended answer but accurate

As a Colts fan, I needed an Andrew Luck auto.

350,000 plus most by team in alpha order

Thanks Adam! That auction is what gave me the no brainer to snag it. Near steal when looking at it that way

Wow, that's amazing... I hope to be somewhere like that someday! Right now I'm pushing about 32k added into Beckett Organizer and probably have.... maybe 39-43k cards total but you're killing me! Only really been working at this for about 8 months or so but eventually I will be where you're at. Perhaps I'm not the only obsessive bulk collector lol I didn't think that many collected outside of their core interest.

Atleast with that amount, you gotta understand where I'm coming from lol... The crazy thing is that, let's say I have 45k cards, in the grand scheme of collecting baseball cards - it's nothing! But that's why I love collecting everything I can - there will most likely ALWAYS be something to get that will fit into my budget whether it's high or low.

99 % commons . I sell local , and it's easy to pick up junk boxes . My main PC is of local minor leaguers that I know

Great pickup brother!
Still planning a trip North?

 

[michaelstepper]

Just picked up this as well

Anyone in need of a different Robin Roberts auto? I have another sweet spot (2004?)that has damage to it that would be a great filler until a upgrade was acquired.

 

[TBTwinsFan]

How can you even tell the TH now?

The regulars have this symbol on them.

The Supers have rubber wheels, shiny paint, and say "TH" on the side somewhere.

I just ask the hardcore collectors, as they have them memorized as soon as they come out.

 

[TBTwinsFan]

Good day all.

I mentioned this earlier, but I actually sold most of my baseball card collection this morning. It's bitter sweet.

Of course, I'm keeping my PCs, TTMs, IPs, and some stuff I like, but everything else is out of my hands for good.

I also sold off most of my hot wheels collection, which is being delivered tomorrow afternoon. Again, bitter sweet, but it needed to go.

 

[michaelstepper]

Good for you Taylor. Know it sucks to let go but feels good to clear space

 

[MojoDan]

Good for you Taylor.

[MENTION=4030]michaelstepper[/MENTION] is one of the easiest members of this site to deal with. Alex (PNW) and I complete trades in mere seconds, and Stepper isn't far behind that.

Great to have you back in the MT fulltime Stepper!

thanks Dan!
