Via their free shipping, I picked up a lot of set needs. Like these three for the '08 A&G set.
Always sucks when a set need is some high priced rookie card. Even worse when 50% of the bloggers follow the team but never seem to make an offer to trade you one. THANKS A LOT! Just kidding, guys. But these three leave me one card short of the 2008 set. I had actually bought it via Sportslots, but the seller forgot to include it. Got the refund, but wish I had gotten the card. Oh well - reorder.
Three cheap short prints for the 2013 GQ set. Still have a way to go with that one, though.
This is the only card I picked for my Petrick PC. It's even shinier than the scan. I completed 3 A&G mini sets through COMC: 2010's National Animals (I'm not going to scan all 50 cards - use the innerwebs if you want to see them all), 2012's Giants of the Deep...
...and 2012's Man's Best Friend.
I like these two sets a lot, so it's great they are complete. The biggest part of the COMC purchase started with this card.
That is the final base card I needed to complete the 2001 UD Hall of Famers set, the first want list I put on this blog. I didn't stop with the base set.
I completed all the inserts as well, including the Class of '36 set,
So nice having this one off the list. I will slowly work on all the relics in the set. Key word: slowly.
And not to get too much of an intro, here are videos of the two boxes of Masterpieces from Blowout Cards. Special off camera cameo by my wife in video #2.
Here's the scans of all the hits.
All but the Clemente are available for trade.
That was a good Black Friday for me. Definitely will be watching for more box prices to get some ripping in. If only I could find a box of 2008 UD Goudey at a good price.
Don't forget about my Tis the Season giveaways. Sign up for the card dump at this link. And keep watching for giveaways (one coming tomorrow) that only require a comment and an educated guess.
I just need the Ruth to complete that "Class of '36" insert set myself. Even though it was only five cards, I still think it's one of the more beautiful series ever produced. UD Hall of Famers as a whole was an awesome set.
ReplyDeleteIf the framed Reyes is a /50 that is one I would be interested in.... assuming the braun is a /125
ReplyDeleteoh and let me know if there are any other ginter insert mini sets u are working on...i am loaded up on inserts to trade. I am going to have to look into that UD hall of famers set...never seen it before.
ok I watched both of your videos... your base set is 1-90 with 91-120 are SPs... looked like I saw 3 SPs in box 1 and 5 in box 2.... and the interesting thing to me was that both packs with relics only had 1 other card and it was a SP in each one. Also of note is the black frame is a bit more common than the red frames. I may have a few of the SPs to send your way as well. If all the retail boxes ended up like those...esp the 2nd one...I would be buying a case of those things....alas they do not...i believe the masterpieces king iamjoecollector told me he had one retail case with not a single framed card.... those are odds that i wouldnt want to run into. nice break and ended up being a great purchase!!!
ReplyDeleteIf you don't get the Masterpieces base set, I have a ton of dupes. If I have anything you need I can send it your way.
ReplyDeleteSo, about that Jose Reyes...
ReplyDeleteIf you want to include that Reyes CoC as part of the thank you for the Konerko tribute, that's fine with me.
