100 is right around the corner for me! I think the last 50 will come slowly for me though. I've got my eyes on several on ebay right now. Some guy is breaking up his set and has a ton that I need. I just don't know if I'll be able to pony up the dough to get them all! I'll probably have to focus on just a couple and get them. I'll probably shoot for the ones that I don't see very often!

On a side note Scott, how are you storing your set? Right now I have them in 9 count pages in a binder. But I'm thinking about moving them to penny sleeves and toploaders for security/protection. But I like the ease of viewing them in the binder. So, I'm not sure what to do. Someone suggested one time to get them framed, but I think that would A) cost a lot more than I'm willing to spend, and B) expose them to sunlight way too much.

What do you think?

Inbox checked, thank you. And as for the banner...anytime you need something, feel free to ask! I'm sure I can come up with a little something for you. Even though I'm still holding the grudge from '04!

So...it's been really crazy around here with work and all. But tonight I have taken the time to scan some recent additions!

Here they are:

Sandy Alomar Jr.

Eric Chavez

Royce Clayton

Jason Giambi

Rusty Greer

Jose Guillen

Andruw Jones

Wally Joyner

Gabe Kapler

Mike Kinkade - I had one of these, but I needed a new one because mine was yellowed (from a smoker )

Ryan Minor

Robb Nen

Aramis Ramirez

Thanks to rob167 for helping me obtain all of these!!!


With these, I now have 107 (71%) of the set! I'm almost there!!!

 

[shuedini]

Oh yeah...I picked this up on ebay as well:

It is a custom made binder. Apparently the company that made it went out of business, which sucks, because I would have a few more of these things made!

Congrats man! 71%??? Wow you reached that quick. That binder is killer. Never seen anything like it.

Thanks! I know, I can't believe I've gotten to 71% as fast as I have. The members here have been a HUGE help! I'm hoping to pick up the remaining 43 cards during this off season, so I don't have to pay as much for them! And hopefully I can use live.com's 30% discount on the bigger ones!

 

[Pinbreaker]

Do you have a list of the ones you don't have?

 

[shuedini]

Do you have a list of the ones you don't have?

I do. If you click on my blog, all it is is a list of the cards. I color coded them so I can keep them straight so I don't buy ones I already have.

 

[MaineMule]

...well done Shue!!

I love how I have to "refresh" the screen to see your total change.....

Continued good luck with the rest of the set.

BTW- cool binder as well......

I haven't purchased any of these in awhile because I'm saving up to get a few at once. But I do still search ebay for them regularly just in case any crazy steals pop up.

During my search...I came across this poor card:
[ebay:4u7h223p]250303683599[/ebay:4u7h223p]

Absolutely pathetic that the owner of that card did that. What a shame.

...ouch, here's what it should look like

Hope you find a clean one for your set.........

I think he will.. and a few others..

Hopefully sooner rather than later. Just talked to the fiance, she said something about an early Christmas present???
