Hey guys! I'm new to the forum here, though not new to other collecting forums. I'm a regular contributor/poster on the forums at Blowout, FCB, Beckett, SCF & Net54. I thought I'd start my life here off with a post for Canseco cards. I have written a bit of a story with everything like I typically do as well, so if you aren't down for reading, please skip to the 2nd post to see my CANSECO WANT LIST. Thanks!
CANSECO WANT LIST IN POST #2
Player collectors can be a ravenous, obsessive group. As we have seen in recent days, Omar Vizquel cards going for as high at $10,000. All it takes is a few well to do fans who are willing to throw down when something big hits Ebay. While there are some big Canseco spenders out there, I'm thankful that they aren't like Vizquel collectors. Ha - I never thought I'd say that!
Thankfully though, ebay isn't the end-all, be-all for collectors. We have each other, through online forums looking out for each other!
Do you remember the first card you traded for on the forums? I do. It was years ago, and was my very first exposure in probably 15 years to doing any sort of trading through the mail. It was exhilarating.
I found someone online who had a 2003 Canseco bat card. This was before I had any other relic cards of his. We ended up trading a 1983 Fleer Rickey Henderson for this beauty:
My gosh, it was magical. I still get giddy whenever I go to the mail box and see there is a package that could contain some cardboard to feed my growing addiction.
I have spent a lot of time on my checklist, making a separate "want list only" - and I have posted it below. There are 2 numbers: The # of cards I need not counting 1/1's and # of cards I need not counting cards below /10.
One thing is for sure: Without *YOUR* help, completing my collection simply would not be possible!
I would like to have this thread serve as a sort of interactive checklist to where I will post my purchases/deals so hopefully one day, I can see 500 turn to 400 turn to 100 turn to 10 turn to ...
To start things off, I'll post my most recent card purchase. It is a beauty in my eyes! A dual patch Canseco/McGwire card where both of them are on the A's! The Canseco patch is a part of the actual logo, which makes it extra awesome sauce.
Please, dig deep, peeps! Let's get this crowd-sourced collecting want-list of mine to shrinking!
