Will Clark Collectors Thread

I don't love sticker autos all that much, but there are nice examples out there. It's so much better when the card design incorporates the sticker, like in these two from 2006:

I really don't mind a sticker auto as long as the card design is nice, like this Fleer Greats.

Both of those were really nice uses of the stickers.

Could you guys use any of these 2 cards?
1990 Mothers Cookies 2of4
1995 Classic $10 Phone Card (has for promotional use only across the card).
These were given out at the St. Louis National Back in 95.

Oddly enough, the promo version of the calling card is way, way easier to find than the actual version. I've only seen one of the regular versions - it was included in a large collection I purchased, and I couldn't believe it!

In an effort to keep this thread moving, here are a couple silly Broder cards. I really like these unauthorized cards. I remember them showing up at card shows in the late 80s, and for a while, they were about the only way to get cards of Michael Jordan and Magic Johnson.

I've got a bunch of Will's Broder cards (and the similar "brands" such as Pacific and others), but these two are a good example of the type. I really like the first one, as it's got such a ridiculous picture on a strange pink background. I'm assuming they didn't have much of a photo selection to work with, but this was the best they could do? Some of the cards are actually fairly nice, but this one is a cheeseball classic!

Anway, these are 1988 Broder Major League All-Stars (Pink is Series 2).

OUCH! THAT REALLY HURTS THAT YOU WOULD GROUP PACIFIC IN WITH "BRODER" CARDS!!! :lol:

I have some intersting Clark cards that I found in a big collection I recently bought. I will get pics posted tonight.

I missed out on a 08 Prime Cuts jersey /99 for $5 last month at a show. Hopefully the guy comes down to the same show this weekend and has the card still.

I should have been more clear, as the Pacific I mentioned is not the same Pacific that made officially licensed cards years later.

Here are some examples of the "Broder-type" Pacific from 1989:

Drew here's a curveball for the Classic Phone Cards, there is a 1995 and a 1996 version of the non-promo card.

1995 Front and Back:

1996 Front and Back:

I got them from a phone card site named Collector Magic, http://collectormagic.com/pages/Baseball.cfm?CFID=3923230&CFTOKEN=96610286, they have a ton of different players.

You just blew my mind!

 

[theplasticman]

Oh man... broder cards. I have a dizzying amount of these and magazine cards. Lots of doubles too, so I can help you guys out.

 

[ronfromfresno]

I just picked this card, 2000 Topps MVP Promo Exchange, up from E-Bay and I was wondering if you guys have the non-redeemed card?

Sorry for the horrible scan, my scanner hates shinny things.

 

[theplasticman]

Ron - pretty sure I have the redeemed and unredeemed. Just no scans.

 

[ronfromfresno]

Did you guys see how high this one went for?

2005 Trilogy Auto #'ed 25, over $100.

[ebay:1aj4ie15]300297818209[/ebay:1aj4ie15]

It smells fishy :|

No reasonable reason for it to have gone that high. I still need one but wasn't willing to bid on it.

I bid $25, then it jumps to $100 and then the final cost.....insane.

 

[ajw]

I was wondering the exact same thing. Does anyone know if this is an on-card auto, or is it a sticker? If it's on-card, it looks like a really nice auto set...

 

[GioCollector1089]

I bid $100. Ive been waiting 3 years for that card to finish my set and lost out on it. Who knows if Ill ever see one again.

YOU'RE CRAZY! :lol:

Seriously... have you seen many folks working on the set? I've seen a bunch of these on Ebay but for whatever reason haven't went after this one too hard.

 

[theplasticman]

Finally had some time for more scans. Figured that since scanning cards sucks... I'll start with stuff I'm most interested in. Having 4 player collections kinda stinks when you haven't scanned a lick of them
