Recent Pickups - September
This has always been one of my favorite cards ever--maybe the favorite--and now I finally have one of my own: Also, not quite as cool as that but still a couple of nice vintage Sox:- Daniel_B

Best auction description ever.
No, guys, you don't get it. The reason it's so valuable is because of the way Topps, in 1985, was so accurately able to predict all the stats for 1986, 1987, and 1988. In fact, this whole "1985" set is known for that, I believe. About a year ago I saw someone asking $300 a pop for 1989 Topps...- Daniel_B

The Last Coupla Weeks
Thanks, guys. :) Sent 1/13, rec'd 2/7, plus $10 ($5 per auto). -
The Last Coupla Weeks
TTM successes over the last 2 weeks: And then these in a trade with levi (thanks again, man): -

1/18 - 1/22
Thanks, guys. :) Thanks, but it doesn't look like I need him. He's only in the '87 Traded set, and I'm just doing the base set. 785 cards is plenty already, without adding 131 more to the chase! :eek: -
1/18 - 1/22
3 successes this week, including John Tudor, which I'd pretty much given up on (sent out in August): -
The Last Few Weeks' Worth:
Haven't posted anything since before X-mas. Partly because I've only gotten a handful back since then; I took a break from sending anything out in early December, 'cause I didn't want to be bothering any of these guys over the holidays. But a couple that I'd sent out last summer came back this... -
12/13 - 12/18: 3 TTMs (1 HOFer), 1 Trade
Thanks, guys. :) @ Dsrsn5: It took exactly 1 week, 12/6 to 12/13. @ Andrew: The Wynegar will be in the mail tomorrow. -
12/13 - 12/18: 3 TTMs (1 HOFer), 1 Trade
Sounds good to me. Thanks. :) -
12/13 - 12/18: 3 TTMs (1 HOFer), 1 Trade
Not sure what was a bigger piece of luck: getting Ryno to sign a card for me, or that it actually made it back to me safely, considering that he didn't seal the envelope! :eek: And got these 5 in a trade with Robert (greatdad): I'm now up to exactly 100 for the set, which was my... -
Ryne Sandberg in 1 week!
Congrats. I sent my Ryno out last Monday, and got him back today, too. Did he seal your envelope? He didn't with mine, so it's pretty lucky that the card was still inside by the time it got here. :eek: -
12/6 - 12/11: 2 TTMs, 1 Trade
Thanks, guys. :) I know what you mean, but: A) The guy had a great career. Close to a .290 lifetime hitter, and over 2700 hits. It's a shame he's remembered for just that one play. He had a great year for the Sox in '86, and without him they don't even get to the WS. And B) '04 and '07... -
12/6 - 12/11: 2 TTMs, 1 Trade
And these 3 in a trade with Mark (MichiganFan9): And Buckner charges $10, but he'll sign 2 or 3 for the one flat price, so I got this one for greatdad for his '88 set: -
11/22 - 12/4: Picked Up 6
Especially excited to get Lance Parrish, since he was one of my favorite players as a kid, and I'd been waiting on these since July. And these 2 from ebay: I'll have to count 'em up, but I think I'm more than half done with the Red Sox now... :cool: -

November Pickups So Far
Will do--thanks! I saw him hit one of his 5 career HRs, 1985 off Jamie Easterly. It's one of my favorite baseball moments ever, actually, since I was so young at that point that I knew nothing about any of the players, and didn't realize that he was probably one of the worst hitters (among... -
November Pickups So Far
Oops, I've fallen a couple weeks behind posting these, but November's been pretty decent to this point: and from ebay: My only disappointment right now is that I'm still waiting on the 2 Lance Parrishes I sent out in mid-July; other people started getting theirs back from him on... -
10/25 - 10/30: 3 Returns, 1 Trade
I was especially glad to get a couple of Team Leaders cards back this week, since I've been having pretty lousy luck with them so far, even among guys who are usually pretty reliable (Bob Boone, Matt Young, Buck Rodgers, Ron Perranoski). But I haven't given up on them completely yet... -
10/12 - 10/23: Just a Couple
(The '84 is already on its way to kugelmanco for his set.)
