Will Clark Collectors Thread

[RStadlerASU22]

How rare are the 1995 Score Gold Rush redemption cards with the Pinnacle Logo punched into the cards? I've only the Clark on Drew's website, and random other players here and there. I'm assuming a lot of them were thrown away??

Tough but I've seen Mattingly , Piazza and a few others go for $1-5 in the last year. Like a year ago I saw a Tigers full team set go for $10ish. But they are rare or people have em and just don't list em.

Is there a Will Clark or Rickey Henderson?

Rickey was in series 2, and I don't think Pinnacle punched those cards during the redemption process. However, some of the series 1 cards are punched. I found a thread on this site that mentioned Pinnacle started to punch all the cards, but then stopped at some point (perhaps they were overwhelmed with all the redemptions and just decided to send them back unpunched along with the platinum set?). So, I have no idea how many are out there, but the Clark definitely exists. Drew's website www.thrill22.com shows it if you click on "1995."

Tanner, I have a lead on the Canseco.

Joel - any other players you have a lead on ?

Perhaps everyone except Griffey Jr.

Ok, fellow golfers/Clark fans, who's in for a third of this with me? Hahaha.


This wasn't Pebble Beach, nor 11k, but still an awesome experience.

 

[RStadlerASU22]

Awesome Joel , that would be fun. As much as I'm a Will fan , I ain't dropping $4k to play. Unless it came with an MSU or Olympic Game Used Jersey

Sorry for the dark images. The reflection from these cards makes them hard to scan.

Drew, if it weren't for you, I'd have no idea these cards existed. Thank you for helping me build my collection. Your website is a fantastic reference.

Darn, I thought this might hold up......ha

I needed to bid a little more. $2,241.64 got it.

This. ...is insane. That went for way more than cansecos last one!

I'm glad you didn't win it Joel. That price is crazy. 5 people, a few I am not sure who they are, bid $1650 or more. It's a tough card, I want the card, it's not a $2200 card IMO.

I think some of it has to do with the picture they used, it's always irritated me and for $2k I can't see me ever pulling the trigger.

Anyone know if this was a duplicate for MJ?

My art piece finally came in yesterday, so I figured this would be an appropriate place to post it! If you didn't read my thread on the Canseco piece, here it is: http://www.freedomcardboard.com/for...-Gap-between-Baseball-Card-and-Art-Collecting

Cliff's notes: I found a guy who had the original art paintings done for the 1993 Metz Bakery cards:

As it turns out, the artist of these pieces are Don Ivan Punchatz - the artist who drew the first Star Wars poster! Mr. Punchatz passed away over 6 years ago, but you can find a lot of his work online - very cool / bizarre stuff. Anyway, here is the Will Clark 1 of 1 art painting!

Here is the cover with a picture that the painting was inspired from, along with a note telling the manufacturer to return the painting back to Mr. Punchatz' address:

When you flip the front cardboard piece over the top, it shows this inside (if there is any glare, it is due to a glossy see-thru page on top of it which can be flipped up as well):

Close up of the face:

Bottom left corner:

With as much as I love the Canseco piece, the Clark piece pops more. Either way, they are both cool!

^^^ Cool piece Tanner

Thanks guys! Ultimately, it will be in the hands of a Clark collector ... I am just not sure when or who.
