I decided to take a trip over an hour away to visit a guy with an Astros game used collection that was said to be one of the biggest in Texas. While I doubt that, I must say, I am very pleased with the purchase. The only bad thing that came of it was the possible malaria I contracted thanks to the thousands of mosquitos that made a buffet out of me while the seller and I were outside talking.
I am sitting here watching Bryce Harper at bat in his first major league game, and going through everything. I figured hey - why not take some pictures to share on my blog? Here we go ...
 |
| Over 300 - Mainly Biggio, Berkman, Bagwell and Oswalt. |
 |
| Some of these cards have 3 players and a few have six players (3 front and 3 back) |
|
|
 |
| Several Triple Threads |
 |
| A couple PSA 3 T206's |
 |
| A few retired guys / hall of famers + you can see a nice exquisite patch bat barrel auto, etc. |
 |
| Various patches, some jerseys with up to 6 pieces of material, etc. Really, really cool stuff! |
 |
| Tons of Biggio jumbo prime patch cards |
I am very happy with the purchase - there is a lot of fun stuff here. I am surprised with how many aren't just the typical small piece of jersey - many have several pieces, several players, actual patches, etc.
Wow, nice find!
ReplyDeleteIt is a longshot but did you get any Bill Virdon cards from when he was an Astro coach? I need a few team issue cards and a few postcards from his time as the Astros manger.
ReplyDeleteThanks Ryan! Adam, no, it was mainly just Biggio, Bagwell, Berkman and Oswalt. If I ever run into them and recall you want them, I'll let you know!
ReplyDeleteVery nice. I am jealous. That must of cost a pretty penny or two. I'm interested in any Bagwell's or Oswalt's and also Pettitte which you posted on my blog Baseball Cards Rule. Email me at info@baseballcardsrule.com
