After picking up a scanner on Friday, I've scanned all of my personal collection. I just got finishing redesigning my Photobucket, removing old links of digital camera pictures and replacing them with scans.

In my old Sosa and Wright collection topics, some of the pictures no longer work. Plus, even for those that are still working (which I attached rather than linked to), scans will show them much better. So, I decided to start a new show and tell thread - for my entire personal collection. This will include cards from my Sosa collection, Wright collection, Sweet Spot Classic collection, and any other PC card I have. Since I have more to work with, I'll try to provide one picture each day.

First, I'll start with my first game-used card: 2000 UD Ovation Greg Maddux



Please let me know if you think the pictures are too big.

no not at all, and nice maddux gu, i was lookin through ur bucket and wondered if u still had the adress for ur wright ttm auto

I sent to the Mets address (Shea Stadium).

o ok, maybe i will try that!!

I didn't think Wright signed TTM.

Some say he uses a ghost signer. But, the signature looks authentic when compared to my other two autographs of Wright.

Nice Collection I am looking forward to seeing your collection. By the way, I have been comparing Wright's ttm autos and yours looks authentic.

Nice Maddux GU, Cody. I'm looking forward to seeing the rest of your collection.

I personally love the large images..its the best way to view a card online....dont shrink them too much if u do...

Thanks. My first autograph (and of my favorite pieces) will be posted tomorrow.

I like them like that too. Allows for much better detail.

I don't like them so huge that one has to scroll a ton over, but I like them that size. I downsize them by one on photobucket when I post scans.

Yeah - I've got them at 'message board' size right now.

Well, not all of them, but I shrink the pictures before I post them here.

nice cant wait to see the rest of your PC

I usually try to keep mine about that size as well.

Glad you got a scanner!!! That camera you used was hard getting good pics!

How true!

My picture for today: I said earlier it was my first autograph, but after thinking - it isn't. But, it's one of my first autographs - I'd say around my third. It's one of my favorite pieces - a nice, clean, on-card autograph, of an important player for the World Series 1950s Yankees. He passed away earlier this year.

2001 Topps Archives 1952 Topps reprint Hank Bauer autograph

Incredible auto! I'm surprised Steve hasn't already offered you something for that one.

Thanks. Steve hasn't offered anything because he's not a Hall of Famer.

Oh, well that'd make sense then. Shows how much I keep up with baseball, eh?

Whooooooo.

Sweet Bauer Cody! Glad you got a scanner. Looking forward to seeing your collection.

Mike

WOW!!
Really NICE Stuff so far!
Cool Pics, too!!

hope to see more of it...

Thanks everyone!

Tomorrow will be my first patch.

My first patch, from my first hobby box. I picked up the box at a Wal-Mart Supercenter; I later found out it was an overpriced box, but I did well.

2005 Fleer Tradition Diamond Tributes 3-color patch Miguel Cabrera /50

That is a sweet patch, Cody.

Today I have four cards. And, these are actually my first autographs, but of course not pack-pulled.

In 1994, Nabisco held a promotion - send in serial numbers from a certain number of their products, along with a small amount of money (forgot how much, but it wasn't alot) for four MLB autographed cards. Jim Palmer, Duke Snider, Frank Robinson, and Bob Gibson.

The cards (they're not in a binder page - just in toploaders taped to one):



And the certificate of authenticity for each:

Great additions Cody, thanks for sharing the collection!

WOW! Those are awesome for not having to pay much, Cody.

For today:

I know very little about the player, but it's one of my favorite cards due to the Biblical inscription - the only card like that I have.

2004 Reflections Gold Rookie Autograph 125 Mike Rouse



The inscription is '1 Cor. 10:31'.

Nice auto, Cody! Thanks for sharing!

Nice stuff !!

Thank you everyone!

For today - one of my favorite cards, if not THE favorite, although it probably holds the lowest book value.

2005 Fleer Authentix Jersey Authentix Sammy Sosa (w/ Majestic logo).



There are patch variants in this set (Patch Authentix) but, oddly enough, this is not part of the variant set. It's a regular jersey - I just happened to pull a swatch with the logo on it.

wow, thats one of the best jersey cards I've ever seen!

Nice card!!!

Thanks. Definitely the best regular jersey I have, with my Nolan Ryan Astros 2-color behind it.

Gotta love that Sosa! Nice card.

Next, one of the centerpieces of my collection:

2005 Reflections Dual Signature Red Jose Reyes/David Wright /99



And, Wright had a great game today, hitting two home runs, 4 RBI, 2 walks, a stolen base, and scoring three runs. The Mets won 10-2.

Awesome dual!

awesome dual auto

Awesome dual auto, Cody!

Oh....and the score was 10-7, not 10-2.

David Wright's 1st home run went 460 feet.

One of my first two 2005 Sweet Spot Classic Material pulls: Nolan Ryan jersey 2-color.

SAWEET!!!

great collection, i especially like the reyes and wright dual!!!

That Ryan GU is really nice, Cody!

nice ryan gu

Sweet collection. The Sosa patch is amazing.

Very cool Ryan!

Man, nice collection!!!!!!!!!!!!!

that gibson and snider auto are very cool!
