Thanks! I still haven't decided how to store/display the sets when I finish them.

Glad I could help you Ron! Very nice cards you have there!

Thanks again.

I just picked up another 100+ minis off eBay.

Re: My Topps 206 Pickups

This is an awesome set I hate that they really screwed it up after 2002 having 1/1 in a set is a set builders nightmare been working on the mini set since 2002 and have the polar bear 100% close on the others but haven't really tried for last year on them was frustrating picking them up 1 at a time off eBay and paying all the shipping. Only ever tracked down 1 wagner series 1 they are super tough.

Good luck on finishing it is a true monster not sure if it ends up being cheaper than the 1911 set at putting together :>

I actually found someone that has the all of the Wagner and Cobb GU's for sale, I just don't have that kind of money to spend at the moment

Do you happen to have any doubles you'd be interested in trading or selling? If you have a wantlist I have quite a few doubles that I can check for you.

Nice stuff. There is an unopened Topps 206 case in the current Huggins and Scott auction that is at 550. Seems like a good deal.

DO you have the Jason Giambi 206 auto? I don't think it was ever packed out and I have only seen one on ebay. Neat card - wish I had picked it up.

I don't, didn't even know it existed!

Re: My Topps 206 Pickups

Nice pickups, especially the pre-WWII GU cards.

It took me a couple years to finish the Polar Bear mini set. Once I got down to the last few series 3 cards, it was really tough. No one was selling singles, and even lots were hard to find.

If it was Series 1 or 3, I'd take a shot at it. Boxes of Series 2 usually go for less and pop up more often than the others.

was not packed out only seen 1 unautographed but basically Giambi didn't return the cards was what UD said way back when I believe. Not sure where the 1 came from if it was an accident and got inserted or what.

That was mine; had it from when I worked at Topps. It was an auto proof, actually, as a couple were sent to the office for inspection, but the rest were destroyed soon after when Giambi signed an exclusive with Fleer.

I gave one to Olbermann when he was in the office one day, and sold that one on Ebay a couple of years ago now. Think I got 250 for it ?

Oh, and sweet scans OP. Keep them coming.

Do you have the Collins bat? Sorry about the Jimmy/Eddie mix-up, that's entirely my fault.

Re: My Topps 206 Pickups

Well I was browsing beckett marketplace the other day and krukcards happens to have almost all of the common relics I need.

Has anyone dealt with them before? Do they accept offers at all and is their inventory up to date?

Thanks, I'm still trying to decide how display them when complete, I hate having them sitting in boxes.
