Meliah-(Hee Seop Choi)

Congratulations to our newest HOF member, Meliah.

Welcome to the club Matt!

Here are his collection stats. Be sure to check out his Gallery too!

I started collecting Choi because he was the first Korean position player in MLB history and I thought he was going to be a star.....one out of two isn't bad:) Over the years I have found his "easier" cards just leaving the plates and various low numbered cards to hunt down so I decided to take my collection of his to another level. My lifetime goal for Choi is to see how much of his entire print run I can acquire for numbered cards, game used and patches as well. Below is a breakdown of my Choi stats and my site was a full have/want list and a picture gallery that is 95% complete.

WOW, I think the most signficant number is the 81.8% completion of all his cards! That is very impressive in itself

Do you have any major competition for Choi's cards?

Not really. Sometimes people will bid on his cards but I can't tell if it's the same person because of how Ebay hides the winner names now. Judging by the low activity I'm guessing it's more about prices than competition--I won a plate of Choi last month for the starting bid of $5.99 but sometimes get outbid on a $.99 GU card.

I bid super low on his stuff since I have it already and am just trying to have some fun acquiring his print run:winking0071:

Don't have any decent Yankee RC's it looks like. I have a bunch of ARod cards if that holds any interest for you?

Yeah I just don't want base or non-Yankees cards.

Congrats! I got a chance to see Choi play several times when he was with the Pawtucket Red Sox. He should've gotten a chance to play more regularly in the big leagues. Remember his three homer game?
