'84 FU Gooden
There was a time when this was one hot card. a twenty spot and $15 for an auto is where you're at today. How the mighty have fallen, both icons and cards.

Got a nice price on this one. It's the first Gold Refractor in my collection. Hopefully he has a good year for the Tribe...
|
this is like the GEM MINT thread!
not a gem and not even mint but got a nice cello pack to go along with the signed card. http://i370.photobucket.com/albums/o...125_130605.jpg |

and a few more autos. from comc.com this time. '04 Just Zobrist, and '08 Razor Letterman Santana.
|
i like the carlos santana, might have to find one.
almost spring training so added some more baseball. this autograph collecting has gotten way more out of hand than i imagined. my first '89 score signed, always thought the set had great color as a kid. also the strasburg is one of those shiny refractory card that the prewar people love to make fun of. http://i370.photobucket.com/albums/o...ps1dbd84bb.jpg |

nice pick's. Definitely love the Stras...
I can definitely agree that the AUTO bug can get out of hand from time to time.. Update: Coincidentally, I just landed the same Kershaw today. Can't say I care a whole lot for the sticker though.. |

And as an Indians fan, I am now jumping...I'm just happy that they've turned a corner on spending this offseason..

'93 Finest Refractor
Just picked up this Hershiser to complete my Dodgers Team Set. I have the entire set (with the exception of this one) graded out at psa9's. Hopefully this one gets at least an 8. '93 Refractors were apparently limited to a print run of 241. For whatever reason the Hershiser is one of the harder ones to get and I had to overpay a little to get this one but I'm happy.
Now if I can only find the '94 Hershiser Refractor or the '95 Piazza refractor. http://i773.photobucket.com/albums/y...ps22bae69c.jpg |
were '93 the first year of the refractors? i stopped buying packs after '91. i remember watching late night hsn and don west was screaming about the donruss elite dominators and the limited autograph cards. those were cool!
|
you are correct, '93 was the first year they produced them and Topps Finest was the set they chose to use.

Nice Rob...Very nice...
Well, my newest addition shouldn't surprise anyone. It's another Indian.. |
Hello, this is my first post here. I mainly collect 19th century baseball and prewar hockey, but I like modern Bowman Chrome autos as well. My goal is to collect one BC auto of every "star"
http://i324.photobucket.com/albums/k...psbe3413ff.jpg |
2 excellent cards. how much did the harper set you back?
|
Quote:
Welcome to the forum. Love the Stanton and Harper... |
The Chrome Harper is going for about $275-300 raw right now. That's the next card I'm going to be buying.
|
Welcome to the forum, Coninefan.
That's a lofty goal. You're going to spend a bloody fortune on those. But the Harper and Giancarlo Stanton cards are a nice start. Certain cards right now are really on fire, and I can't tell you which way they're going to go. For instance, the 2009 Chrome Mike Trout auto is way up there. It was as high as $500 a couple of weeks ago, and it looks like the last one sold for $400. I got mine last year before the season started for $99. It might come down, but if keeps hitting the way he did his rookie season, it might go up more. Some guys you might want to consider buying now before they become stars: 2012 Bowman Chrome Oscar Taveras auto (tough to find a really clean auto. I got lucky) 2012 Bowman Chrome Nick Castellanos auto 2012 Bowman Chrome Wil Myers auto 2010 Bowman Chrome Manny Machado auto 2011 Bowman Chrome Jurickson Profar auto 2008 Bowman Chrome Jesus Montero auto There are plenty of others, those are some nice ones to start with. Other players that are more established, but should continue to go up in price (in other words, get them now): 2008 Buster Posey BC auto 2008 Jason Heyward BC auto Others, like the 2005 Bowman Chrome Matt Kemp auto will be more affordable after his injury riddled 2012 season. He should bounce back and put up big numbers, and then his cards will jump back up. The 2005 Bowman Chrome Ryan Braun auto should be affordable right now, too, because of the steroid rumors. Now is a good time to buy, as the cards will go back up once the season starts. He's a perennial MVP candidate. Other really nice BC autos: 2002 Joe Mauer auto 2006 Clayton Kershaw auto (a personal favorite in my collection) 2004 Felix Hernandez auto The biggest of them all, of course, is the 2001 Albert Pujols. That one is several thousand. Have fun!!! |
Here's the list of cards I'm chasing:
2001: Pujols 2002: Wright, Mauer 2003: Hanley, McCann, Youk, Markakis 2004: Felix, Gio 2005: Verlander, Kemp, Butler, Zimm, Weaver, Ellsbury, Braun 2006: Longo, Kershaw, Gordon, Upton, Lester 2007: Lincecum 2008: Stanton, Posey 2009: Trout 2010: Strasburg 2011: Harper, Machado (if he has a good season) 2012: no one yet I'm gonna hold off on Taveras/Zunino/Bundy etc. For every Trout, there are a ton of Delmon Youngs. I'd rather pay $200 when a player becomes a star than $100 now. I've gotten burned too many times. I didn't include 2nd year guys like Heyward, Starlin, Price, etc yet. I'll pick them up eventually. The biggest problem is Pujols. Not the cost, but finding one for a decent price. I'll only buy a PSA/SGC 9, and I won't pay more than $3800. I have a Trout and a Kershaw incoming |
For your 2006 set, I'd put Prince Fielder ahead of Lester.
|
there's a guy on blowout selling a bgs 9 pujols to put toward a new car, you might want to contact him. i agree there are alot more delmon youngs than mike trout. personally i would sell the trout right now, he's most likely not gonna replicate last year so his stuff will go down as the season wears on. such a crapshoot and lots of speculating with the new cards tho, one aspect i hate about modern stuff.

Here's my newest pickup http://i.imgur.com/JNMurr5.jpg I traded it straight up for a 2012 Bowman Chrome Draft Kyle Zimmer Orange Refractor auto that I pulled from a single pack. So the Trout basically cost me $3. I'm sure Zimmer will go on to win 6 Cy Youngs and Trout will get popped for steroids after blowing out his knee. That's my luck with prospects |
Quote:
He has a Prospect Premiere auto from '02 and numerous "rookie" autos from 2005. I don't think any are on-card though |
i just checked on the pujols again. i was doing a search and got mixed up on the date...the post was back in 2011.
|
heres my two
http://i138.photobucket.com/albums/q...ps988cfb0c.jpg- been trying to pickup more of the 80s hall of famers and future hall of famers http://i138.photobucket.com/albums/q...psdd5e2b47.jpg |
Picked up another BC auto. Not my scan, but the same card. It's numbered to 99

A few more...Yeah, yeah. I know, I'm getting out of hand with the Indians cards this year..

Is that Bauer a buy back?
|
Quote:
Now that you mention buybacks though. As far as the Chrome AUTO rookies that you're looking to put together. Have you checked into the 2006 Bowman Originals Buyback AUTOs. I haven't really looked into them myself, but I do know that they did use a few Chrome rookies.. Swisher isn't necessarily a superstar, but I know for sure that they used some of the 2002 Chromes for him. As well as the 2005 Bowman Chrome Melky Cabrera...So I guess there's a chance that maybe there were a few more notables.. |
say no to the bowman buybacks, they're mostly fakes or you can't really know 100% either way.
