Well guys guess what? I'm making another thread. I have been a fan of the Marlins most of my life. In 2003, this guy came along and I was really loving him. Quickly became one of my favorites. When I fooled around playing baseball whenever, I decided to copy his unorthodox pitching style. A couple times I thought of collecting his stuff but never really did it. He came to mind when I realized, "Hey whatever happened to Dontrelle, wasn't he a D'Back recently?" So I decided very recently to start a PC of him, like Boone and Carter. I already have around 20 cards and 1 decent card I'll try to post. After all, it has been a pretty good time to get his stuff. I remember going to a Marlins game on vacation in Florida back in 2004 and after the game tried getting his autograph. I wasn't into the autograph scene at all back then. The other autographs I had at the time were Vance Wilson, Mike Mordecai and Andy Fox. I will never forget, he was wearing an Elway throwback and was getting into an Escalade his girl was driving. Kept yelling "Dontrelle! Dontrelle!" but he just ignored everyone. Didn't care at the time though, it was cool just to actually see him. 3 years later I finally got his autograph after the game at Shea. It was tough but I got him as he was walking. So I will start up this collection and I hope he makes it back soon.
Here's one thing I got back in 2008:
2006 UD SP Authentic By The Letter Auto Patch "I" 135/300

This one was perfect, no crease this time.
2008 UD SPx Winning Materials Dual Patch 03/50
Only thing though was the seller said it was three patches when there were only two. I still would have bought it regardless. No telling when the next Willis will come in, could be weeks.
As far as I know, he was called up by the Reds today. He has been killing it in AAA. I hope he is back to his old self because he was one exceptional talent and you got to love the leg kick. PM coming.
A Willis was at the door for me this time. And a cool one.
Willis/Angel Berroa 2004 Bowman 2003 Rookies of the Year Dual GU

I like it, it's a nice, simple design. Plus it's on card.
Nice patches on that SPx.. and nice looking dual
You got a nice lil collection started there so wanted to share with you what mine is cause I'm sure we'll be going after the same cards. Although I'm down 2 just collectin autos now.
Heres a small single card preview just to pique your interest ;-)

http://s79.photobucket.com/albums/j122/datboytaz/My%20Dontrelle%20Collection/
Hey really nice stuff! Keep it coming
Thanks everyone! And nice 1/1 dual auto Travis.
Well for today, a bunch of Dontrelle cards came in. And I mean over 400. There are many fewer doubles than I thought. I have to go through all these soon. Guy even threw in over 50 football cards from last season.
click on the link under the 1/1 dual auto & it'll take u 2 my collection. Over 400 total cards, all diff with over 250 autos.
Amazing collection Travis. You truly have the TCC D-Train title. I don't know if you have this one though.
For today:
Willis/Juan Pierre/Mike Lowell/Ryan Dempster/Cliff Floyd/Charles Johnson 2005 Playoff Absolute Memorabilia Team Six GU 013/150
I really like these Team Six cards. I have one in my Joe Carter PC too.
Thanx. I've actually fallen off cause I'm only in hunt of autos now & hard to find ones I don't already have. You're doing pretty good in your collection. & you're right, don't think I have that one.
Thanks. And good luck finding those other 3 RC autos. You won't have to worry about me getting in your way haha.
Today's update:
2004 Topps Cracker Jack Secret Surprise Signatures
This package was a little of a surprise for me, I sorta forgot about this. I would like to thank T.J. (MANTLE07) for sending me this.
Couple more Dontrelle's in:
I saw a seller with a bunch of these things from 2005 Fleer Patchworks and got a couple really cheap. Apparently these are proofs from the Fleer Archives: the bronze auto proof and the gold patch proof. According to the description, they were uncirculated and never released directly to the public. Another update will come next week.
Yesterday's addition:
2005 Leaf Century Collection GU 035/250, jersey number (my 3rd I believe)
I only got this for 99 cents!
In for today:
2008 Topps 07 Highlights GU Jersey (You barely see any with a teal stripe)
Could be some time until the next update.
This came in yesterday:
2005 Topps Finest Gold X-Fractor 5/10

Thanks and finally here's another:
2004 UD Reflections GU Jersey
I really liked the look of this card and the stripe on the swatch really gives a nice touch overall. Another update to come soon.
Nice looking card

Thanks guys. Travis, sorry but I'm not looking to spend that much money right now. Been very tight with my money lately.
