May Pickups
 

From the no fan game...

This section seems a little slow...
 

Really excited to pick this piece up. Not a card - but card related. Yeah, I collect baseball cards - and yes, I collect cards of my favorite player growing up (Kevin McReynolds.) How about an item that shows a giant photo of Kevin McReynolds trading baseball cards with Tony Gwynn?! This advertising piece is huge!

bigger pickups this month.

Pick ups for my Clemente PC
 

Received these this week for my Clemente PC. I really like the Expos Program.

Sportflics Prototype Joe DiMaggio
 

Arrived today (with a whole bunch of other DiMaggio stuff) from SGC.

I believe these are SUPER rare. I was told that there are only two in existence, but I am aware of three of them. Two of them now live in my baseball room.

If you just won that from ebay recently, I think I was underbidder. I wouldn't normally go hard for something like that unless it had Garvey, but I do have the Garvey piece and thought this would be cool to go with it.

Curt -

It was a recent ebay purchase. I usually don't go after things like that either - but as a Kevin McReynolds fan, I thought it was a great piece. I put it an early bid (because I was working when it ended and knew I would be too busy to bid.) The bid held up (barely!)

Some pickups for my maddux collection:

88 canon
89/90? canon
old style (no known date - as of yet)
94 ingles grocery sticker card (seller had listed this as 'Gred' Maddux)
93 aces playing card auto version (with non auto version - graphics placed differently)

Wow, very cool. I never even knew such a test issue existed. When you say '3' are you referring to the DiMaggio or are there other players known to exist?

I've started slowly working on picking up some mostly basic Roberto Alomar cards. My big May get of his:

Nice card man!! Im after the topps traded as well!! congrats

scott - from one maddux collector to another - those are some nice cards!

Thanks. I have been collecting mostly Maddux ever since I got back into the hobby. If you have, or know of any of his stuff that rarely pops up, let me know. I always enjoy seeing new stuff pop up.
