Wish it was a cubs patch not a Rangers patch

Agreed!

it made me think twice but it was still a nice enough patch to look past it.

Well he's pictured and listed as a Red Sox so it's one of those what could have been cards from that UD time period.

Yes upper deck was notorious for that. But I will give them props that those 2005 hall of fame patch cards actually say on the back of the card what the jersey is from

I have been telling everyone I have a big announcement to make, and well here it is! I was able to aquire all my missing 2005 sweet spot classic cards accept the 1/1 Bob Gibson which may or may not exist. Through word of mouth and a couple long shot email addresses I acquired the super hard cards:
paul molitor /13
don mattingly hitting /9
andre Dawson /7
mike schmidt /6
mike schmidt /5
stan Musial /3
dave Winfield /3

the cards were not cheap, but I don't care. I set out in 2010 to complete this set or get farther then anybody has previous gotten. Today I can say I DID IT.!!! I have 63 of the 64 cards, I'm only missing the 1/1 Bob Gibson. To my knowledge nobody has gotten to this point. I know a couple people got within 3 cards before. Super super excited today. Today is a good day to be a collector

Congrats sir! That Schmidt looks extremely nice. Quite the accomplishment. Hopefully the Gibby will pop unless GC is teasing.

I really have no idea, 3 guys I talked to who have all come within a couple cards of this set and all have just hoards upon hoards of 2005 sweet spot cards have never seen the card before. They have been searching for it for over 10 years. So until someone tells me they have laid eyes upon it how do you know?

Everyone else coming in here to show off a pickup, today.

 

[16christensen16]

Thanks for all the kind words. I really can't even describe how much this means to me. This is something I never though was possible starting in 2010. I'm just in awe

Yes, a fellow Gibby collector had it. I tried to buy it and got laughed at.

Great looking set. Congrats on getting those last few. They look fantastic.
