I began collecting everything Jeremy Accardo in 2006, shortly after he was traded from the Giants to the Blue Jays. I met him at the Rogers Centre before a game during his first homestand as a Jay and I have never met a more fan friendly player. I have met him numerous times over the last three seasons (both in Toronto and during Spring Training), and every single time he is friendly and talkative. Jeremy Accardo may not be the most famous baseball player, but he's a "good guy", and a great ball player to boot.

Congrats on this honor as you deserve it!

Sweet PC!! Congrats!

Wow that's one amazing percent of his cards that you own! Keep it up, and if I ever pull something you need, I'll be sure to inform you!

Matt

wow 94% mins 1/1's that's awesome...keep going strong

That is an amazing collection!

Congrats. That is a great collection and great guy to collect. As a fellow Jays fan, I love seeing him pitch.

:confused0054: Congrats!! That's an amazing percentage!!!

Thanks for the kind words everyone :)
Unfortunately Accardo was on the DL for most of last season, so there haven't been too many new additions to the collection recently. Of course the three new additions have been nice ones.

First off, his only 2009 release so far: 2009 UD Inkredible

Next, a nice pickup that completes a rainbow. I know I paid too much for this, but as I'm sure you other player collectors can understand - I just had to have it!

And the rainbow:

And while it's not a card, still a great addition. Accardo's 2005 road gray San Francisco Giants game worn jersey.

I have one more card incoming, but I don't want to post it until it's in hand - don't want to jinx myself!!!

Now the Jays just need to recall him from AAA... I guess his 1.32 ERA is too gaudy to be called up to the big club...

Thanks for the looks!

nope don got any

Added another beauty to my collection yesterday, 2006 Sweet Spot bat barrel redemption:

Brining my non-1/1 collection to 93/98 (95%). I have a lead on one of the last five non 1/1 cards I need, so hopefully I'll have a post about that soon!

-Pam

Great pick ups, and yes a player collector understands paying too much for a card you MUST have. Hope you get the last 5 you need to complete the non 1/1.

Nice Collection!

Thanks
Craig

Another new Accardo in today. It's not a big one, but this is the first time I've ever seen it, so I'm happy to add it to my collection.

2006 Fresno Grizzlies:

I had to buy the whole team set, but I'm okay with that as I am now down to needing only four more non-1/1s

Thanks again for all the kind words everyone :)

-Pam

From one Jeremy collector to another, congrats on your collection Pam. I remember back when my Jeremy had only a few hundred cards available, keep on trucking and it'll grow fast.

Peace...

Great to see Jeremy back today and get the save.
