Hello & Greetings....

I'm not sure if I would be considered a "Super Collector" or a "Unique Collector" but just quite possibly both :) I only try to collect High End Game Used Cards of Hall of Famers & Star Players of Baseball to pair them up with Mcfarlane's MLB Figures....I started collecting GU cards back in 2001 & in 2003 I lost them due to unforeseen circumstances & I haven't collected anything sense then. About 2 - 3 months ago I started back up with the funds to do it & I thought how cool would it be to pair up high end game used cards of my favorite players with the Mcfarlane's sports figures.....Now I've been posting them as I get them in the Beckett Baseball Forums & have gotten SOOOO much positive feedback that I thought I'd submit my collection & see what happens........SO HERE IT GOES :)

Some other facts about my collection:

I also try to collect numbered cards limited within a print run....meaning....Not 1/1's....but so many within a certain print run to where as I could control the pricing market for them....Some examples are:

2011 Topps Tribute Albert Pujols Prime Patches...#'d/24....I own 5 out of the 24 that exist!!!!

2011 Topps Tribute Dual Relics Black Babe Ruth Jerseys...#'d/5...I own 2 of the 5 that exist!!!

Thank you in advance,

Chris Randazzo (Rollx8)

Congratulations on the article and such a wonderful HOF collection of MacFarlanes and GU.Being a Yankees fan, I guess my favorite is the Babe Ruth figures and the GU that has his first and last names.

I seen that you make case's. what's the going rate on the one in your bucket and do you make different sizes?

The one in my bucket I do for $225 delivered (its 48" long x 24" wide x 3" depth) .....I can make different sizes if needed....I make them by hand with solid woods & chrome metals & plexiglass.... it is more durable & better quality than the cheap factory plastic aluminum cases (P.O.S.) they charge an arm & a leg for.....
