I don't collect Clark but I was finally able to grab one of these a few weeks ago in my attempt to finish the set.....

I've been outbid about 10 times over the years, finally nice to have landed one.

Very nice patch in there ! Glad you were able to land one.

Here are the two I own

The actual 3 non-proof ones. Bought from Randall who bought from Josh (I think)

Thanks for posting Nolan. So it looks like the only other version that may exist is an unfolded , no AP logo version. I wonder if the folded ones were actually done that way at AP or if they all were unfolded and folded after they left AP? You happen to know how they were distributed? Thanks

Looks like I need to add a couple Action Packed Prototypes to my wantlist

I'm trying to track down some A&G cards:

2013 Printing Plates (Jason had the yellow, but sold it before I could make an offer. Not sure to whom?)
2013 Glossy 1/1 (sold to Mijang, so it's gone)
2013 Wood 1/1 (sold, but I'm not sure to whom?)
2014 Printing Plates (?)
2014 Glossy 1/1 (?)
2014 Wood 1/1 (?)
2014 Flag Back /25 (probably the only one I have a chance at)

I have a 2015 mini non-A&G buyback, but looking for any other versions.

Of all the modern product since 2001, A&G is my personal favorite!

Thanks,

Joel

Joel -

I'll keep an eye out. I agree , they are one of the better present day cards.

A lil' different pick up. Wanted the lot for the box. So it just mentions Clark's name on the back, but IMO is an unique item.

Looks to be a very early/promotional box from 1999 Collect a Books. The front has Mattingly and Canseco ( [MENTION=12140]DonnieBaseball[/MENTION] [MENTION=7453]mouschi[/MENTION] ) pictured. I think the images shown were never released and predate the Promos that are out there. [MENTION=3735]clarkfan[/MENTION] may have more knowledge , but I hadn't seen it before and thought it was neat item. It came w the Clark and Williams promos , but really just wanted the box for some reason.

Nice pickup, Ryan! I was watching it on Ebay. Pretty cool!!!

The Shirt/Number Off My Back is a nice series. I recall them being fairly pricey, too. Does anyone know whey they demand higher prices than do other similar patches?

Here are the three I own (the patches are not nearly as nice as the others in this thread!):

 

[RStadlerASU22]

Newest edition... A 1985 Roster sheet from the Fresno Giants against the Visalia Oaks. Thought it was a nice early piece w/ Will not getting an at bat yet as a pro.




Came with the Scorecard which has a young Puckett and Hrbek etc.

Does anyone have a picture of Clark wearing #28 as a Cardinal? I think he only wore it the first few games when he was traded when the Cards were on the road. I'm guessing he got #22 from Matheny when they returned to St. Louis.

Looking at what I could , I only see #22 for him. Baseball reference only shows #22 as well. I believe August 2nd was his 1st cards game he played in. I've tried to find video of it and haven't been able to locate it.

Interesting about the Cards number. I don't recall that, but it's totally possible. ESPN's UniWatch guy might be able to help: http://www.uni-watch.com/whos-this-paul-lukas-guy/

 

[RStadlerASU22]

Happy to add this one , new variation for me. Though it will need a condition upgrade.



Believe it to be the team response card from 1998 as this is the Dr. Pepper version I had.

If any of you Clark Collectors need this one, shoot me a PM...

I did some investigating. His first game as a Cardinal was Tuesday, August 1, 2000 in Montreal. I'm pretty sure he only wore #28 on August 1 and August 2, then wore #22 for the August 4 game in St. Louis. The first couple links are the box scores for the 2000 season, and the third link is a reference for the #28 uniform. If I could only find video/pictures of those first two games!!!

Well I didn't know he pinch hit in the Aug 1st game. I know he homered in the 1st four games he started for them. And that began 8/2. When you first posted I searched YouTube , Getty Images etc and I can't find any images. I know there is an article that talks about MM giving Will the number, but it really only mentions the July 31st trade deadline. I would think those games would have some sort of video available but I haven't found any.

I'm like you, Ryan, I can't find a picture or video anywhere. I'll do my best to prove it, though! Haha
