Time to show off - my Will Venable collection! (scan heavy)

[JEA2880]

Our buddy Rangers showing off his Borbon Rainbow the other day got me thinking that it was time to update my bucket with scans of my Venable collection. Without further ado, here are some stats followed by pictures:

2006:
- Bowman Sterling Rainbow complete with Red Refractor /1, (3) Gold Refractor's /10, (15) Black Refractor's /25, (8) Refractor's /199, Base (I'm thinking about sending in all of the uncirculated copies for grading with a minimum grade of 9.5; with any luck, I'll get a 10 in there)
- Bowman Originals with (2) Black Border /99, (2) Blue Border /249, (12) Base, (2) IP Auto's

2007:
- Bowman Chrome Auto Rainbow missing only Red Refractor /5 (PLEASE contact me if you know where one is!) with Superfractor Auto /1, (1) Printing Plate Auto, (1) Orange Refractor Auto, (1) Gold Refractor Auto, (2) Blue Refractor Auto's, (3) Xfractor Auto's, (4) Refractor Auto's, (10) Base Auto's
- Bowman w/ Chrome Rainbow missing Superfractor /1, Red /5, Orange /25, Gold /50 (please contact me if you find these) with (1) Printing Plate, (1) Blue Refractor, (1) Xfractor, (2) Refractor, Base

2009:
- Topps Chrome... NONE! I missed out on the Super as it ended well above $200 and couldn't afford it, so not focused on this set right now
- Finest Letter Rainbow containing full name for Gold Refractor, Blue Refractor, Refractor, and Base Autographs; I am missing Red letters V, N, A, L and Super letters E, N, A, B, L, E so please contact me if you find these

Thanks and enjoy the photos!

Is that really 14 of the 25 Sterling Black Refractors? Great stuff! I think he's going to be a good player for years to come.

That is INSANELY sick, and further proof that you can be a 'prospector' and still a collector.

If you were a Padres fan who didn't follow prospects you would have had no shot at accumulating such an amazing collection now that he's slugging in the bigs. Congrats to you.

The two auto superfractors are before and after pics, same card.

But Venable does have a non auto from that same set but I dont believe I have ever seen it, have you John?

Oh, I responded to your email.

Now you need to put this in your sig:

I recycled the rainbow picture before it was graded but re-scanned the graded version on it's own.
