I saw this on eBay for $150 ( !!!)a few days ago. Immediatly, I launched into negotiations to get my White Whale. After a few days of PMs and offers and counteroffers, we settled into a nice price of $45 dlvd. 70% off, not bad at all for a great Xmas gift. Gotta thank the seller, a great guy, and very willing to negotiate. Now, I just have to collect the 07 Topps Total Parallels, and I have everyone of his cards.

Congratulations, Will...that is awesome.

Nice pick up man! Here's to hoping you can track down the rest!

Posted by: vslyke Dec 8 2008, 10:18 PM

Thanks Bob and Adam! Those 07 Topps Total should be a piece of cake, they're all over the place on Naxcom and Beckett. And I have the black /50 (the only numbered one), so I just have to get the rest.

Dang! Sweet add Will!

Posted by: broscards Dec 8 2008, 10:37 PM

I saw that on there, and wondered if that was the one you needed! Glad it was and you landed it!!

sweet PC pick up, congrats

Posted by: 10alex10 Dec 8 2008, 11:27 PM

congrats man
thats awesome!

Posted by: vslyke Dec 8 2008, 11:53 PM

Thanks Rhody! And thanks for the trade as well!


Yeah, I never thought i would get the guy down on the price. Luckily, an auto mini helmet of his went for $45 (plus S&H), so I was able to get him to that. It was about double the price of the version /1399 (have two of those), so not too bad in my eyes.


Thanks! I was worried for a long time that someone threw the other 24 in a trash can somewhere, so nice to find an obtainable one.


Thanks alex! Still have to get some GU gloves to match you, but this is a good boost to my Finny PC.

Sweet! Glad you found the one you needed! Bad news on the 07 Total though....they made 1/1 printing plates for every card, one for each color (4 total). I know because I am looking for some...

Congrats on hooking and landing the Whale!!!

Posted by: vslyke Dec 9 2008, 04:36 PM

No!!! I now have 4 White Whales!


Thanks man! Can't wait for it to get in.

Posted by: vslyke Dec 9 2008, 09:01 PM

And now we go from a card that was /25 to a 1 of a kind item. My very own mini jersey, that I got in a trade from The Endzone.



A beautful item, and I advise you to get one of your favorite player, if you do not have one.

Sweet stuff dude!

Posted by: michiganmaniac94 Dec 9 2008, 09:06 PM

Nice pickup for ur pc

Posted by: vslyke Dec 9 2008, 09:07 PM

Thanks Connor and Brian! I'm going to add something every day, but that'll take about a week to go through my entire PC! Not much to collect for Finny, that's why the RC /25 was such a big addition.

Posted by: vslyke Dec 11 2008, 10:23 PM

And here's today's addition, an 06 Sweep Spot RC /699! I love the look of these cards, and I wish they had a low numbered variation like the SPs.

Posted by: Gforce083 Dec 11 2008, 10:25 PM

NICE!

Posted by: vslyke Dec 11 2008, 10:46 PM

Thanks gforce! It's one my favorite PC items, it's a great looking low numbered RC of my favorite player.

Posted by: broscards Dec 11 2008, 11:22 PM

Great add!!

But I think you now have 16 white whales.. 4 plates of every card right?

Posted by: vslyke Dec 12 2008, 05:10 PM

Thanks Tyler!

No, just 4. Just one plate of the 4 variations.

Sorry I haven't updated my thread in a long time. Finnegan is starting in the 08 Pro Bowl and the Titans are playing the Ratbirds this Saturday. Also, I got in three 07 Topps Total parallels, and I have the base card incoming, so there are only 2 cards of Finnegan I do not have (silver and bronze paralllels)!

Here's the first of the parallels, the blue parallel (which is the most common parallel along with the bronze). They fall one in every 2 packs, so there can't be too many of each card.

Posted by: road_runner_1964 Jan 5 2009, 09:01 PM

Good luck on finding the last two....

Posted by: vslyke Jan 5 2009, 09:12 PM

Thanks man! I just hope I get them soon, so I'll have 100% (non plates) before the 09 stuff comes out. That would be sweet.

Posted by: vslyke Jan 10 2009, 03:43 PM

Well, I found the bronze today and it is now incoming. Just need the silver to have every non 1/1 of Finnegan! Here is the base version of Topps Total.

Posted by: Stlouisrams1600 Jan 20 2009, 04:27 PM

Did you ever find the Bronze?

Posted by: vslyke Jan 20 2009, 08:29 PM

I have the Bronze in hand, I just need the silver. Can you do PayPal for Beckett Marketplace? If so, I'll grab one there and be done.

Posted by: Dauizdabest Jan 20 2009, 08:54 PM

buy this oddball!

Posted by: vslyke Jan 20 2009, 08:58 PM

Thanks for the tip man! Did not see that one, and I'll put a bid on it.

Posted by: vslyke Feb 26 2009, 11:04 PM

I have ignored this thread terribly. I do finally have a new add to introduce, an uncut sheet of cards with Finnegan on it!



Also, can someone explain Beckett Marketplace to me? Do I have to register, and can I pay with PayPal? Thanks!

Posted by: marcus42 Feb 27 2009, 12:45 AM

sweet stuff

gotta love topps total having your favorite player in their set

Posted by: vslyke Feb 27 2009, 07:33 AM

Yeah, I do. I just wish they had it again this year, so I would have some 08 stuff to chase.

Posted by: road_runner_1964 Feb 27 2009, 01:29 PM

Nice sheet, Will.

Beckett markplace uses the same signon as a Beckett forums. You may be able to use paypal for some....

Posted by: NGWH Sports Cards Feb 27 2009, 02:46 PM

Great Collection Will.

BTW-Do ya need this:

1990 Topps Big Andy Van Slyke

Posted by: vslyke Feb 27 2009, 03:01 PM

Thanks Bob and Nick!

Maybe. What is Topps Big, are they oversized cards?

Posted by: NGWH Sports Cards Feb 27 2009, 03:06 PM

They were/are about 1/2 to 1 inch bigger, not that rare.

Posted by: vslyke Feb 27 2009, 03:15 PM

Yeah, I think I do. PM coming up!
