The "Cameo" Thread

[TBTwinsFan]

I believe we have a Ryan Sweeny collector here if I am not mistaken.


I can't get a pic to work, but its the 2012 Topps Plouffe

That's Chipper

This thread has been dormant for awhile. Would that be Chipper?

Can't be Chipper. McCann is in a road grey uni. That guy is in a home white uni.

Found a new one off COMC. Sure, its an insert, but cameos arent strictly a "common" occurance...

Not sure if this one has been posted.

I just busted a pack that had this in it:

I just busted a pack that had this in it:

Nice cameo of former Rookie of the Year Alfredo Griffin. He was the on-deck batter when Joe Carter hit the homerun off Mitch Williams in the World Series.

I got tired of just searching other Astros cards for BAgwell, so I decided to check out some sets known for action shots. While searching, I'll post ones I see that may interest other collectors here. I'll try to stick to obvious, unlike my own collection of "maybes". Here's the first of hopefully many...

Ripken...

Bonds

Bernie Williams

And don't forget, theres the topps chrome that matches these cards, and the refractors to go with em.


Grace?

Mattingly

 

[ASTROBURN]

Ok, I couldn't help it with these maybes...

McGriff at first?

Olerud at first? I know he was with ny in 97, but maybe it's a 96 photo?

Mark Grace at first?

The search continues...

Now that is interesting. How did his uniform wind up darker?

Grace?

This card was voted Most Homoerotic Baseball Card of 1995 in a hotly contested poll. Didn't know Grace was a butt man :?

Mattingly

Is Howe going in for a kiss? Or did Mattingly have some coke in his moustache? :lol:

 

[Lars]

Probably how the card was produced i.e. a refractor and how it was scanned.

I may have a Cameo Fetish, but at least I havent reached Cameo levels where I need to have this in my collection:

But now that i know it exists, maybe i do...

 

[thelesquad]

Why not?

 

[ASTROBURN]

^ I heard you were going for ANYTHING that mentions Sandberg's name... I Cant bring myself to do this. Cuz If i do, then it will never stop. Just think of all the mystery finest cards and topps ten cards for examples. Any players card where Bagwell is mentioned? Thats just too far. I'm stopping at cards with his feet. Thats where I draw the line :lol:

But it adds the challenge of trying to complete this run - all 125 cards:

How do you know if Sandberg is even mentioned on a card or not? Its not like beckett keeps track of things like that.

COMC and Beckett Marketplace have been instrumental. A few hours with nothing else to do can get you far. Speaking of which, it's almost time to go searching through COMC again.
