2007 Topps Moments & Milestones Black #/29
This is one of the most ridiculous sets I have ever seen. The base set has three cards dedicated to three of Uggla's notable statistics: 26 doubles, 27 home runs, and 172 hits. There are also individual cards for each double, home run, and hit. That makes 225 different Uggla base cards. All base cards are serial numbered out of 150. Then, there are these black parallels of each base card numbered to 29. Holy crap.

2012 Topps Gold Rush Wrapper Redemption
I don't buy hobby packs enough to send in for the wrapper redemption, so I've obtained my player collection needs from eBay.

2010 Topps Triple Threads Sepia #/525
This looks great in my binder next to the base and emerald parallels I have. Still need the gold, sapphire, and platinum parallels to complete the rainbow. With platinum being 1/1 I think I'll call it a success if I can just get the gold and sapphire ones.
2003 Topps 205 Mini Polar Bear
A Mike Hampton mini?! I didn't even know one existed! I wonder if there's more?
Stay tuned for I Went eBay Crazy: Javy Lopez Edition.
It's been a while since I went eBay crazy. Of course, the last time I went eBay crazy, I was spending upwards of $100 on a single card at a time. As a Twins collector, this has turned out to be a poor investment, both financially and emotionally.
ReplyDeleteYou have a point. I guess I didn't go too crazy. I don't believe I spent more than two or three dollars per card. There would have to be something pretty special on a card for me to spend $100 for it. I hope that you at least still enjoy having those in your collection whether they're valued at the price you paid today or not. That's what I think is cool about collecting: The only thing that matters is the value the card has to you. Unless you're in the business of selling of course.
