Darryl Kile Milestone

[Therion]

I just surpassed 300 Darryl Kile cards. I'm at 308/560 to be exact. (55%) I'm down to only two or three base cards and a butt-ton of parallels.

Have any other semi-star player collectors found the new eBay setup to be annoying? I used to have to sift through 30-40 listings but now the eBay Store items are all mixed in and it is a cluster#*$% to sort. I'm also convinced that the 2010 Topps Sterling auto will never be pulled because people stopped opening it after the first week of release. I'm also convinced that the 2002 Topps Gold card does not exist.

But I digress. Here are some highlights from the first 300 cards. Share some of your favorite semi-star player's cards!

The obligatory RC. 1990 Bowman Tiffany (the Chrome of the early 90s).

1992 Leaf Black Gold. The parallel craze begins (for me).

1994 Pinnacle Museum Collection. Dufex!

1994 Score Gold Rush. Hey, I'm allowed to be sentimental about the 90s!

1997 Flair Showcase Legacy Row 1. The only Legacy I've managed to get so far.

1998 Circa Thunder Rave

1998 Studio Silver Press Proof. These are actually harder to find than the golds.

1999 Stadium Club Press Plate Black. I still owe Sam Banks for this one.

2000 Skybox Star Rubies Extreme. I wish these looked half as good in person as they do scanned.

2002 Topps Heritage Chrome. The toughest card to find in the Chrome set. This card gave many set collectors nightmares.

2002 Upper Deck 40-Man Electric Rainbow

Good stuff.

Believe you can just it the "auctions only" tab to weed out BIN stuff. Although I imagine you may be looking for shorter duration BIN listings also.

I don't mind it too much. It does allow us to easily see new listings that do pop up all in one setting now.

Nice stuff, congrats!

Just take 15-30 minutes to go through all the Darryl Kile listings (only 204 at the moment), and then each day search by newly listed. It means that you will see everything, and each day only spend a couple minutes on the new stuff.

The scanner makes them look awesome and I was super excited when I won it, but in person it is disappointing. You have to hold it at an obscene angle to see the pattern.

Thanks for the eBay advice everyone

I absolutely hate the new ebay format with the store listings mixed in. Worst change to eBay yet other than their constantly rising fees.

No, not yet :/ Just haven't found the right one yet. They're out there so it isn't a matter of rarity.

Nice stuff. All I have is a 2002 40 Man Jersey (can't find a scan).

LOL I actually need that card. I never see it or it's /40 cousin for sale.

I only know of one other person who has it. He pointed it out to me. Wish I had bought the other one the dealer had for sale. Only cost me $8!

I was lucky enough to get a TTM from him during his time with the Astros. It is a pc card for sure.

I have an Astros program from the weekend of the '94 National, signed on the cover by Kile and the amazing Jose Oquendo. They were my first autographs ever.

You can have it if you want

Don't think I've forgotten. One day I'll find some amazing Yadi item and it'll be on your doorstep.
