View Full Version : My Official Carl Crawford Collection Thread!
CrawfordFan13 09-15-2007, 12:10 PM Hello everyone, I just thought since theres this new forum, its the perfect oppurtunity to show off my collection, and post updates on new cards I get.

Post your opinions on my collection, and if you have anything #ed /30 or less (possibly 35 if its a really nice card, aka a gu/auto) I'd be interested in buying or maybe trading. All opinions are welcomed, please post... I enjoy to see what other people think about my pride and joy.
PLEASE DO NOT POST ANY RANDOM CRAWFORD YOU HAVE FOR TRADE/SALE AND ASK ME IF I NEED IT, UNLESS IT'S A 2006 BOWMAN ORIGINAL AUTOGRAPH OR A CARD #ED /35 OR LESS (NO DONRUSS STUDIO PORTRAIT CARDS) I WILL NOT(!!!!!!) BE INTERESTED.

CrawfordFan13 09-15-2007, 03:08 PM Offered on this card earlier, to my surprise it was accepted, I know scans can be misleading but this card looks pristine, and Crawford's autograph looks great, usually dont see that nice of autos on this set... Im going to send it into BGS once I get it.

Very nice win!! You are right, the card looks really good!!
softball29 09-15-2007, 08:57 PM I have to say that I'm quite impressed with your Carl Crawford collection. A friend of mine got his auto on a ball a few years ago at the Hall of Fame Game.
baseballislife24 09-15-2007, 11:16 PM Nice Collection. Hes a great Player!

NO WAY!!! I offered 47$ on this card from this seller. Damn...so close. Matter of fact, I went through and bid 47$ on every listing for this card that had a best offer option. Nice win.
By the way...I love 1/1 cards...but, it bums me out that Ill never be able to have those for myself. Ive been a Crawford fan for so long, but, just recently returned to card buying/trading. I hope to soon have a Crawford collection that could rival yours. Nice work my friend!
CrawfordFan13 09-17-2007, 03:17 PM Thanks for the kind words everyone, makes all the money and hard work worth it when you hear good thing about this.
Mark- I know the feeling, I know a guy who has like 10 1/1's including a Kazmir/Crawford dual MLB Logo/Autos 1/1, makes me jealous to know that there is a least one better then mine :-P. There was another guy but about 3-4 months ago he sold off his collection, so the 20ish 1/1's he had are all with different people now. Still considering Im not filthy rich, Im very happy with my collection.
CrawfordFan13 09-25-2007, 03:40 PM Haven't won anything in over a week until now, and this will probably be the last for a bit too, been a lot of Crawford dual autos go on ebay (Crawford/Podsednik dual auto/patch #ed /5, Tim Raines/DeJesus/Crawford triple auto #ed /35 and a Pods/Roberts/Crawford triple auto #ed /20) that Ive let get away, although they were all what I say is overpriced. But considering the Raines/DeJesus/Crawford #ed /35 went for $42 shipped I say I got a great deal considering this has 2 more solid players along with Crawford and is lower numbered.

CrawfordFan13 11-06-2007, 09:17 PM I took another small break, but I might be back now, might not lol... here's something I just won a few seconds ago though:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220159886849
CrawfordFan13 11-06-2007, 09:34 PM And another to mark the return as serious:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=130168923666&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=003
Both nice cards, and for the prices, cant beat it :)
whitesoxfan 11-06-2007, 10:08 PM I have a few gu of crawford if interested
CrawfordFan13 11-07-2007, 01:05 PM It depends what you have, like I said in my main post only interested in lower numbered Crawford's, I get offered a bunch of Crawford's almost daily but I only go for the extremely rare ones.
JayJagFan 11-07-2007, 05:18 PM Your collection never ceases to amaze me. Beautiful!
CrawfordFan13 11-08-2007, 10:34 AM Thanks JayJagFan, a compliment every now and then makes it all worth while :).
And another win... kind of surprised he accepted offer, a decent win, I'll take... I figure I've seen at least 10 of these on ebay, and since its 04, there may not be any more popping up.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=120144597705&ssPageName=STRK:MEWN:IT&ih=002
CrawfordFan13 11-09-2007, 04:49 PM Bid on this over night, and because of school wouldn't be home to see it end... can't believe no one out bid me, and I was the only bid... not bad for a card from a $80 pack, and this being the biggest hit of the pack.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=280169462925&ssPageName=STRK:MEWN:IT&ih=018
Trying to add a few more GU, over the past months of collecting I was focused on autos and willing to pay a lot for low numbered ones, but now that I've acquired a good amount of autos, I'm back to giving the GU some love.
By the way, thats my 60th Crawford #ed /30 or less.
doodaa24 11-09-2007, 04:52 PM He will look great in a Cubs jersey next year (I HOPE)
CrawfordFan13 11-09-2007, 05:01 PM Man I hope so too... I like Crawford as a player, thus making me a D-Rays fan, but whatever team he goes to will be the team I root for. And to be honest, it's getting quite depressing being a D-Rays fan lol. But the only negative, no matter what team he goes too, his card prices are going to rise (well... maybe Nats or Marlins), the fan base in Tampa is so low you just don't see a lot of action, so meh I'd like it but it would probably make my ebay winnings go down a lot.
And I'm also not a huge fan of the Cubs, but it can't be worse then the Rays, I was hoping a team like the Dodgers or Phillies... even though I doubt it, just some teams I like.
-HOF Collector- 11-10-2007, 12:25 PM SICK Collection!
Never know w/the Dodgers. They're interested in Miguel Cabrera and Arod for 3rd, and if they pick up a Centerfielder and move Pierre to left, they can become a contender. They'd have a great core. We'll see.
Crawford is an amazing player. Had the honor of seeing him play on several occasions. One of my fav. hitters. Hit two triples and a single in a spring training game I went to.
MRRAYNY 11-14-2007, 08:34 PM 2006 SP Authentic Sign of the Times Carl Crawford Auto #ed 56 of 75.... interested?
CrawfordFan13 11-14-2007, 09:11 PM Sorry usually go for lower numbered stuff, sorry for not responding to your PM, I was tired, and was too lazy to respond and forgot about it. Thanks for asking though :)
CrawfordFan13 11-15-2007, 10:44 PM ::Sigh:: 4 Crawford 1/1's this week and all went extremely overpriced, I have a limit on $20 on press plates because I don't like them that much. So I didn't bid on 2 of them, the one ending later that night I didn't pay attention to because I thought since the others grabbed $25-$30 this one would too (it was the same exact set as the one that ended at $25). It ended up ending for $12... then I just got out bid on another 1/1 from The Topps Vault, a blank back promotional card, someone else outsniped me (not used to that), seems like its quite the trip getting to double digit 1/1's.
I'll keep at it, but right now, watching 5 cards, none of which are 1/1's, so it will be delayed some more. Just thought I'd vent, I'll keep updating my collection, thanks for being along for the ride everyone :).
CrawfordFan13 11-17-2007, 02:53 PM Another win... seems like the majority of my wins are coming from BINs/Best Offers/Ebay Stores. It's a decent win, one went for a few bucks cheaper the other day, but passed because I was saving my money for the 1/1's I didn't win. Whatever, I love this set, the 2 autos I already have in it are beautiful and I spent roughly the same price on both of those.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330135650407
CrawfordFan13 11-25-2007, 02:38 PM Newest win... this week has been very boring, my watchlist has been at 3 items for 5 days until earlier this afternoon, found 3 items to add, making it 6. I like the win, very nice set for a good price.

tkenm356 11-25-2007, 03:05 PM Hey, I have an 07 SPx Winning Materials Blue #'d 045/175 Crawford that books at $8. Not sure if you have specific Crawford card wants and needs, but if you're interested I'll give it to you for the price of shipping ($3, $1.50 for bubble mailer and $1.50 postage). I'm not attached to it at all, figured you might like it. LMK if you're interested
CrawfordFan13 11-28-2007, 03:18 PM Sorry not interested, it's a good price but just something I don't need. I would also appreciate if people in general would read the main post and see what I collect instead of assuming I'll take anything. Not calling you out alone tkenm, but I get replies/pm's/etc. like this daily, and it sucks declining people every time.
CrawfordFan13 12-01-2007, 08:26 PM Hmmm, kind of an impulse buy for the price I figured it was worth a shot. I haven't seen another like it on eBay, for the price even if it is a mass-error, I didn't lose too much. I might get it graded if it can be, I don't know yet, still kind of soaking it in.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=300119091820&ssPageName=STRK:MEWN:IT&ih=020
Thanks for looking!
CrawfordFan13 12-02-2007, 12:09 PM Feels like I'm talking to myself :-P. But it's good to see when I post a new auction I get a few heads poking in, feel free to respond, all criticism is welcomed, what's not welcomed is asking me if I need a card lol.
I just won this, a little overpriced, but I love this card and have seen a few go by on ebay and I haven't been able to snag one.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&Item=250191908290&Category=20876&_trksid=p3907.m29

I'll just edit this instead of making another post and making it look like I'm carrying a conversation with myself. But yeah... just won this:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=170173154701&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=007
#ed /35 but great looking card, I'll take it.
tkenm356 12-02-2007, 07:26 PM Sorry not interested, it's a good price but just something I don't need. I would also appreciate if people in general would read the main post and see what I collect instead of assuming I'll take anything. Not calling you out alone tkenm, but I get replies/pm's/etc. like this daily, and it sucks declining people every time.
Ahh, sorry bout that. I shall know now for the future :winking0071:
CrawfordFan13 12-02-2007, 09:00 PM Hey, it's no problem, I try not to come off as ignorant, but sometimes it's my nature. It's not your fault, just with everyone doing it, it starts to get to me. Hope you understand, thanks :)
Yanksfan396 12-02-2007, 09:14 PM Very nice collection. Though I'm a Yanks fan, Crawford is one of my favorite players. Glad to see a die-hard fan collecting him avidly! Good luck.
CrawfordFan13 12-05-2007, 04:38 PM Thanks Yanksfan :)
Another win, cheap for the card, I'll take it any day.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180187202897
Chuck-17 12-05-2007, 04:45 PM Another very nice card for your collection!!! Keep sharing the pics with us.
CrawfordFan13 12-09-2007, 09:21 PM FINALLY!! Took long enough but I finally nailed my double digit 1/1. I'll have to see it in real life, but I LOVE Bowman Originals, this will probably be by far my favorite card in my collection. A little expensive, but who cares? The card only comes once in a life time, and like I said, it couldn't have been a better set.

CrawfordFan13 12-11-2007, 11:33 PM One more win... a little pricey but never saw one, and it's a nice patch. One of those wins that your nothing crazy about, but will definetly be a nice addition.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=320192094468&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=011
Thanks,

Chuck-17 12-12-2007, 10:48 AM Both of the cards you just added are really nice. The 1/1 is just a sweet card. I hope that you continue to share your ever increasing collection with us.
Thanks,
Charlie
CrawfordFan13 12-14-2007, 10:34 PM Newest addition the the PC... I would be more excited but some computer garbage has made me very unenthusiastic about everything computer related (read Chit-Chat forum). But good price, good players, I'll take it.

colts1888 12-15-2007, 08:32 AM after seeing the auction for the crafrod podsnedik you got an amazing deal. Another one is ending january 4 and is at 14 and change. Nice cololection you have so far
Yanksfan396 12-15-2007, 11:05 AM Hey, buddy... I've been tirekicking my 2007 SPx Crawford (4 color patch)/Sizemore (4 color patch)/Reyes (2 color jsy) /25... is this something you would need?
CrawfordFan13 12-15-2007, 11:35 AM Yanksfan- you made my day... for a change someone asked me for a card I need, and I actually get to say YES. Let me know what would you want for it, I don't know if you read my post back in the day but the majority of my baseball cards minus the Crawford's were all thrown out/stolen when I moved so my tradelist is very pathetic. But I can buy for the right price or let me know what you need, there's a slim chance in hell I might have it.
Yanksfan396 12-15-2007, 10:15 PM I liked the Foxx and Howard... what BV do you have on the triple?
CrawfordFan13 12-15-2007, 11:28 PM Every card on that tradelist was stolen/thrown away... basically everything I have other then the Crawford's a few other D-Rays and my football are all gone. So lmk.
saulriverafan52 12-15-2007, 11:32 PM Every card on that tradelist was stolen/thrown away... basically everything I have other then the Crawford's a few other D-Rays and my football are all gone. So lmk.
Wow, that's really not good. If you don't mind me asking how'd that happen?
CrawfordFan13 12-15-2007, 11:37 PM Here's the original thread that I made a few months ago, kind of a long read, but it will give you the full story. :)
http://www.sportscardforum.com/showthread.php?t=355681
Yanksfan396 12-16-2007, 01:03 AM May possibly sell if the offer's right... LMK what you could do. If we can't agree on something, it'll probably go into the PC, so it'll be waiting.
CrawfordFan13 01-04-2008, 09:12 PM I'm back, missed 20 days of ebaying due to a damn virus... here's my first win since I got my computer back up:

bowlerontherise 01-04-2008, 09:18 PM i feel for you dude, read the story and everything, have a smilar story, not as bad but i had my 03-04 collection stolen when i moved, iwas 10-11 not sure, but my dad stole them!
mcguirem13 01-08-2008, 05:29 PM I just pulled a carl crawford 1/1 auto printing plate from UD black. Do you have anything to trade for it?
CrawfordFan13 01-08-2008, 06:20 PM Odds are I have nothing to trade, if you look at the last 10 or so posts, you'll see why, but I dunno...
CrawfordFan13 01-16-2008, 08:15 PM Just got this, eBay has been slow this week, with Exquisite hitting the market so many cards on my watchlist now, but those are overpriced atm so I passed on a lot of auctions. This one may be a tiny bit overpriced but like I always say, this will be the only time I ever see it, so might as well shell out a few more dollars then expected.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=310013806657&ssPageName=STRK:MEWN:IT&ih=021
CrawfordFan13 01-20-2008, 07:13 PM Newest win, and I normally don't brag about personal wins but heh, if I could take this oppurtunity to say... I got myself a steal. I thought this would be a $25+ card, brand new set, $200 box for 2 cards. And it's an auto/dual jersey... can't beat the price for the card.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250205853912#ebayphotohosting
EDIT:
This one just ended, this went for the price I thought mine would go, even a little still under-valued IMO, but I don't know why people didn't go after mine, it wasn't listed badly at all. Now I'm even more proud of my deal :-P.

drays4life 01-21-2008, 12:32 AM Maybe if everyone is like me - they're almost broke! There have been a slew of great deals on ebay lately and its cleaned me out. I saw that auction and wasn't happy that I had to let it go. Good buy!
CrawfordFan13 01-31-2008, 10:17 PM Hello everyone.
Just wanted to inform everyone, and figured this was the best place to do it because most people read this topic that know me. But I need to take another break from card collecting.
About a week ago me and my girlfriend of 2 years broke up, and it has had me heart broken ever since, very hard to concentrate.
Also I'm trying to sell my car and buy a new nicer car, so that's my main buying focus at the moment, not cards.
And finally, a good friend of mine just got in a car accident on Wednesday night, and passed away on the spot. Very hard for me to keep my mind focused on the world of card collecting with all of this happening.
Just a lot of stuff right now, I can't guarentee when I'll return, I'm sure I'll visit the site often but when it comes to buying/trading, I won't do that for a bit. My main focus is going to be on trying to get back on my feet, not worry about the females, and mourn for my great friend. Then once I do that my main focus will be on tricking my car out and selling my car I have now.
I'd prefer to not go into details about the ex-girlfriend situation, all I can say is that I was the happiest guy ever with her, and when she took a turn for the worse I knew it wasn't going to last, so I'm just very devistated. Also would not like to talk about my friend who passed away, she's all that's been on my mind and I can't think of anything else other then her today, just 2 hard topics to talk about.
If you want to know about my car buying adventures, I'd be more then willing to discuss that, cars have always been my release when real life gets stressful. They don't b***h, complain and cost much less money then any female (even with gas prices) and you can have much more fun with them :-P.
Thanks,
Jimmy
drays4life 02-01-2008, 06:18 AM Sorry to hear about everything. Good luck working it out.
CrawfordFan13 03-27-2008, 10:59 PM Wellllllllllll not sure if I'm back to Crawford collecting, considering the MLB season starting has made his prices still on the rise. But I had to snag this, an absolute steal considering what others have been going for, I'm in shock to say the least.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=140217469070&_trksid=p2759.l1259
Let me know what you think!
CrawfordFan13 04-04-2008, 09:39 PM Another win, forgot about the auction, refreshed it after 16 minutes, there was 22 seconds left when I refreshed. I just tossed an even $10.00 bid, ended up winning. Not the best win, probably could've got it cheaper a later day if the set wasn't a new release.

CrawfordFan13 04-12-2008, 09:38 PM 1/1 #13 (only 3rd printing plate). Kept under my $20 plate limit, pretty happy with it, still not a huge fan of plates but I'll take one for this price any day.

CrawfordFan13 04-21-2008, 04:05 PM Bid on this one over night, I had my girlfriend over so I knew I wasn't going to be on my computer at 2 in the morning (when this ended) like I normall am. I threw like a $13 bid in, had no other competition so I won it for $10. Pretty good deal, the 3 others that sold that are exactly like this have been from $13-15, not too much of a deal but meh, I'll take it.

Have to love the 1:15 AM in the morning auction ending time, can pick up some real steals then. I'll take $8.50 for this any day, what do you think?
CrawfordFan13 06-11-2008, 11:11 PM Been kind of quiet for me here the past 2 weeks or so, I've been a busy boy with trying to finish school and refinding my social life. So I went on a minor vacation, came back found that I missed some good deal on ebay, but after just doing a new search out of boredom found this with the BIN price. I'm not sure if it's a good deal, but I know there's a rich Crawford collector or 2 that would've bought it before me if I didn't right away.

Stl_Cardinals_Fan 06-12-2008, 12:43 AM I'm not sure if it's a good deal, but I know there's a rich Crawford collector or 2 that would've bought it before me if I didn't right away.

In my opinion, any time you can get a 1/1 for less than $15-$20 you did good, and even when you do spend around fifteen to twenty, it's still not bad when you get the card and can look at it and say "This is the only one in the world, there are not other's like it!"
CrawfordFan13 06-24-2008, 06:03 PM Been a while again, still have 3 days of school to go then my activity should be back up, but this one came as a surprise. I set my alarm for 7 minutes before the auctions end, it wakes me up and I see this guy is leading who I can never beat (he seems to be rich), and well... I wasn't expecting to beat him but I did. I paid more than I thought I would, but it's a 1/1, never will come across it again.

haha no job, just really great parents. I don't buy as much as I used to though, but still have a decent collection.

Yeah, I'm trying to get a job now (just applied at Petsmart the other day). I just want some extra cash around because I'm tired of letting so many killer cards go on eBay. Plus I want to save up and get a box of 05 Prime Patches too ;-)

A lot of people always tell me to get a job, because the majority of my class has a job. But I look at it like this, I have 3 days left of my junior year in highschool, with my senior project taking up some of my summer time this year, this is my last free summer of my life. Next year when I'm a senior and graduate, that summer will all be about moving out to college (or even if I stay local, I still need to apply). Then once I'm in college, I'll need a job, but since this is the last free summer of my life, I'll hold out on the job thing.
Thankfully my parents are generous to support my hobbies, cars (especially with gas prices) and just give me a few dollars to hang out with friends. They've taught me well, I know how to be independent, and I have a brain and until I do something to lose their trust, they'll keep supporting me.
I agree, it sucks to let some cards slip away but I'd rather that then waste my summer in a grocery store. :-P
Thanks,
Jimmy
CrawfordFan13 07-20-2008, 02:33 PM Hey everyone, been busy lately, enjoying my summer off and going out more than I have in the past, haven't found much time for the internet. Hopefully I can visit here more, and contribute more then I have since I took over this Volunteer role.
Today is my birthday, and since I have nothing I really want, I figured, I'd get this card as a nice way to start off, don't know how many of my other presents will be geared towards cards.

Only my 3rd 1/1 auto, paid the same amount for my most recent, so I figure it's a good deal. I'm guessing I was the only bid for the lack of a quality scan (not even worth adding to my site yet), and no paypal, I'll definietly take it.
(These aren't my wins): But I figured my price is good considering these have went for much more, and I personally like $49.99 win more.

CrawfordFan13 07-27-2008, 11:43 AM Just got this card, very average deal... $5.55 for shipping kills this card, but all in all, $16.05 delievered isn't a bad price.

CrawfordFan13 07-27-2008, 09:39 PM Bah, there were 4 items I wanted tonight, only won 2 of them... the one posted above and now this.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320277165671&_trksid=p3907.m32&_trkparms=tab%3DWatching
It's a good price, wasn't expecting to win because I don't bid high on items #ed /30+ (only want #ed /40 or less, but something to me is less appealing in the 30-40 range). But I finished a game on MLB The Show, checked my computer for an Originals Auto #ed /5, it went for a ridiculous $26, hit my eBay to see when my next auction was and I saw this when 3 minutes to go. Got ready, bid and won.
Also missed out on a dual jersey, auto from 2005 DK (one of my least favorite sets) for $10 dlvd when I was out, I don't know if I would've bid on it if I was home. But I can't complain, 2 more cards for my collection is a great day in my book.
Thanks,
Jimmy
Stl_Cardinals_Fan 07-28-2008, 02:24 AM Overall some nice pickups my friend. Be sure to post the patch card in the "showoff your patch" thread at the top of the forum
CrawfordFan13 07-28-2008, 08:29 PM Thanks for the compliment, just wish I wasn't stupid and missed another SP Legendary Cuts 1/1 for $8 dlvd.... I'll post the patch sometime tonight, too lazy right now.
Jimmy
CrawfordFan13 07-29-2008, 09:22 PM Newest win, not bad... it's a love/hate card. I highly dislike Coco Crisp after that brawl the Rays had with the Sox earlier this year, he got Crawford suspended. But it is a dual autograph and one with a bit of history behind it, Crawford was suspended for beating on Crisp so it's a very cool, sarcastic card.

What do you think?
Jimmy
Stl_Cardinals_Fan 07-30-2008, 01:41 AM Not bad at all....kind of makes me mad that Crisp was a Cards prospect at one point and then he was sent packing for someone (I can;t remember who).
Any chance of getting some of this mystical endless money from you? Consider it an early birthday present for me, lol.
YOu do seem to get some nice stuff...keep it up
CrawfordFan13 07-30-2008, 02:26 AM Haha, thanks again, they are actually presents for my B-Day, I have nothing I needed so I decided to look for a nice Crawford 1/1 (see the $50 one I bought 4-5 posts ago), bought that. And now what do you know? I'm addicted again, these are still B-Day presents, so I may be winning a lot over the next few days, including another patch or so, that's why I haven't posted my newest yet, I don't want to run over that thread so I'll just post all my new patches in one post.
Thanks again,
Jimmy

haha really appreciate it, I would be interested, trust me. Keep me in my mind :-P.
Thanks,

CrawfordFan13 08-01-2008, 11:21 PM Made a best offer on this earlier, I'd say it's a pretty dang good deal, it was $20+ earlier, but he relisted it at $12.99, I made a best offer to make it $10.00 delivered... really shocked I won.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=250273269891&ssPageName=STRK:MEBOFF:IT&ih=015
I also edited my website, new template and font, the old Devil Rays font was ugly, so I changed it to the new Rays one.
Chuck-17 08-01-2008, 11:47 PM Very nice pickup!!!
Stl_Cardinals_Fan 08-02-2008, 02:04 AM Not a bad pickup for $10, not bad at all..
I know what you mean about birthday pickups....I've got 2 cards incoming and one I already got in the mail that my folks are stashing away for my birthday.
AThrash37DSnyder 08-02-2008, 09:55 AM Awesome Collection...
Do you own any regular Autos/Relics?
CrawfordFan13 08-02-2008, 01:21 PM Nope not really, never had interest in more common items. I like to know I have something very few/no one else has. Thanks for the compliment!

Thanks,

CrawfordFan13 08-06-2008, 11:22 PM No comments, that's disapointing lol. Out of my 89 cards #ed /35 or less, it's probably my favorite and it hasn't got a comment.
Jimmy

Sweet mother of...!!!!!!
Holy cow....what a card. And what a pretty penny it cost too. YOu know I'm still waiting for you to cut me a check my friend so I can reep some of the free eBay spending that you enjoy, lol.
CrawfordFan13 08-07-2008, 01:06 AM haha thanks a lot guys. And thanks for the reminder bravesastros, I had to have it, it's too pretty to pass up, it's not a 1/1 but heck, I love it. And Cards Fan, after that I'm not sure I'll be such a prominent spender anymore, may have to hold off for a week or two, but I only have 3 cards on my watchlist, so I had to go for this. It was at $52 with 10 seconds to go, I had $120 open on a seperate IE screen, with about 4 seconds to go, hit confirm. Won it, was so happy, bet the seller was thrilled with his card doubling in 10 seconds too.
Thanks again guys,
Jimmy
