Gotta love Cleveland next big right handed bat. You should look for his futures jersey card and his gazillion variations of his Finest AU.

Peter,
I appreciate the input from the resident SuperCollector. I strive to go after the rarer issues right now as the more common ones will be around. Most of all, I ENJOY these cards. I think thats what makes it fun. Any suggestions for continuing my collection?

The back though is something else...
user posted image

There is a small triangle in the middle of Lyman's chest that reads NOT VALID WITHOUT STICKER. Guessing this was for an autographed version of this card. Pretty cool I think. talked to Topps and they confirmed there is a set worth of wrong back cards, but only 1 of each as it was made to check the centering on the press. Cool new 1/1 for my collection.

Posted by: HOFerAutoCollector Jul 2 2007, 11:08 AM

Total BV...I dont know but am planning to add them into MY COLLECTION on the other site to see. The problem is that i have 17 1/1's and 12 more cards that would be unlisted. If I had to guess, I have a total of 122 different cards and the estimated BV of the ones that list are around 2000.00

Nice pick-ups Tom. Of course, the blue is a beauty, as are the TT and Finest. However, I only paid about $10-15 more for the PSA 10 than you did for your raw. A TCC member now owns it and has it tagged as a $100+ BV card. Wow.

Now for the stars...

3rd star is the unseen piece. Was contacted on another site by a member that had a unique item. It was the laminated name plaque from the 2004 Minor League All Star game. Its too long to scan and no cam to take a pic of it, but its pretty cool!


2nd Star is the missing link to my finest RC Auto Collection.

Contacted Topps.
Theres 4 of them:
first error printed, the card that is made by the plates (vault card), the double print (card where press was stopped and restarted) and the final printed card from the sheet.

Well, as some of you know, I have some pretty personal ties with the events of September 11, 2001. Not only did I lose friends there, but I was called to duty that day to help with rescue efforts. It is a day I will remember forever and connects with me every year on its anniversary. I am happy to be able to spend another day here at TCC with many of the friends I have made over the last year or 2.

So, onto my post. Wanted to save something special for today's post, and the mailman didnt let me down.

Sometimes, 1/1's just dont cut it. Today is a day where TWO 1/1's are being overshadowed by 2 White Whales.

Lets start here:

When a RC Auto /99 is the 5th Best card in your mailday, you know it was good.

Bowmans best Silver Auto /99

Next we move onto a 2nd 1/1 from a series:

Etopps National 1/1. I believe there are 4 or 5 different ones.

Bowman Draft Picks Black Plate 1/1

Now for the Stars...some Harpooned Whales for my collection.
First is a piece that I have had MANY chances at, but the prices exceeded 2x hi BV!
user posted image
Bowman Chrome Draft Picks Gold Refractor /50

And the #1 Star. A piece I have only seen 1 of, but theres only 10 out there. Wasnt sure if I would ever snag one, but I cheated on TCC and went over to another site and had someone offer this to me...

Sterling Gold Refractor Encased RC /10

Thanks for the read and take care everyone.
