Sports Card Collectors!

[jaybird_1981]

Well my son traded for his dream card. He got in a break a while back and got a Garrett Nussmeier out of 10 Bowman Auto. He sent it off to get graded and it came back a 10. He traded card for card off Facebook with a guy that’s in his Facebook group. He got this 8 out of 25 color match number match.View attachment 727448

I think he did pretty well in that trade!

Looks like a 3 at best. Just send it to me.

I've been trying to pick up Bowman Chrome and Topps Chrome Refractor/Refractor autos of current guys that are on track for the HOF. What do you think the TJ injury does for Gerrit Cole's chances? Seems like maybe that HOF door is closed for him. Of course, I would've said the same for Sale before last season.

Cole will need another 50 wins to even sniff the HOF, and even then that barely gets him over 200. The door wasn't really that open to begin with

I think it is hard to judge modern pitchers HOF chances due to the way their usage has changed. It is going to be hard using counting stats in the future for these guys so it may transition to more efficiency stats instead and they would be compared to more short peak HOFers like Koufax.

Cole has a decent shot at 3,000 K's

If he can pitch 5 more years and get 150 per year, he's there.

Schilling is the only 3K+ not in the HOF (Verlander and Scherzer are both still active, and practically locks for the HOF). Kershaw will get there this year and is likely a lock for the HOF

Schilling should have been elected already. He is being punished because of his politics I believe and Verlander and Scherzer are locks. I just wonder who the next guys will be after these older guys retire.

*well and Roger Clemens, but he's never going to be elected

Greinke is another in the modern pitcher discussion. I think he'll get it

225 wins, 2979 Ks, 1 Cy Young, 77.5 WAR

This is the card he traded. This one isn’t his but his looked just like it but his was SGC graded. Nussmeier stuff has been selling pretty high

He will in maybe 30 years, like it would matter then & so will the rest that are being snubbed

Yeah I bet he does get in.

Not bad I just think Nico has more upside. Plus he plays for the good guys.

Latest pickup. Not only did I get a phenomenal deal, but I can’t find any issues. Surface is clean…centering checks out…corners are nice and sharp. I think could probably 5x this if it were to gem.

I didn't miss my chance to scoop one up several months ago either! Hopefully Strider can be "that guy" for the Braves.

That’s what we were saying. Being a TN fan definitely makes it a really good trade. Then his out of 9 Nico Onit Auto came back a 9.5 from SGC

I agree.
After Scherzer, Kershaw and Verlander, I think modern pitchers will be judged differently and benchmark stats will be adjusted, imo.
They have to be or we may never see another HOF pitcher.

Picked up a few RCs and 1st for my boy today. Nothing crazy, just a few for his rookie box.
And I picked up an Ichiro jersey for him and a...Mickey Mantle for myself...

Nice!!

 

[CobbWebb71]

Looking forward to putting these together and framing them.
I’m hoping to pick up more eventually.
I think Pacer has a few I need to look at.

Been working on my Dale Murphy collection and got some in over this past week.

I almost picked up the ‘77 Murph, at our local show yesterday, but the Willie Mays and Harmon Killebrew were priced too good to pass up and that was the majority of my budget.


Sorry Murph, you’re still my guy!!

 

[CobbWebb71]

Picked up this frame today.
Got one for me and one for my boy.
I’ll post his soon, here’s mine.

 

[CobbWebb71]

Here’s my boys.
Gonna have to get him another one or two, so he can get the rest of the ‘24 guys framed.
