Carl Crawford Collection - Updated Often!

[CrawfordFan13]

So, I haven't been on SCF in such a long time, I've been on hundreds of hiatus' but I think I'm finally back for good. I got a job, finally have money to work on my collection again.

I've collected Carl Crawford since 2005, and around 2008 I lost interest in the hobby (all of my cards were stolen, minus my Crawford box when I moved). I've been on SCF since 2003 I believe, and used to be really active but needless to say I got in some conflicts with some of the higher ups so I became a personal collector who didn't really care to show his collection to the public.

About my collection... I only collect Carl Crawford (or any card that he's on with another player), and I'm a strict collector. I only collect cards #ed /35 or less (unless it's AMAZING patch or something of that nature) and his rookies, I just find the rarer the card is the more interesting it is. I'm a cool person to get along with as long as you don't flat out irritate me.

I'll be updating this thread with each and every Crawford eBay win I get. I'm looking forward to meeting new people and seeing old faces.

NOTE: The seller put that on sale for $19.99, no idea why it pops up as if I bought it for $39.99. I've already paid for it, for $19.99 so yeah.

Awful grade, but it's a 1/1 so I can't wait around and look for a better condition.

Back to working on scans, comment are always welcome!

Bid on this before class, I've never really seen one (or attempted to bid on one). Ended up being the only bid, I assume I overpaid but it's a rookie #ed /99, one of his lowest #ed RCs.

By the way, my site is now completely up, with brand new scans, all taken within the past 24 hours. Enjoy everyone, all comments are welcome.

Won all 3 of these from the same seller within 10 minutes. I lost the bid on another press plate (I bid $12.75, high bid was $13.00, same bidder had high bid on the 2nd link so I know that was the high bid). I was expecting lower prices, but I'll take them. 2 1/1's and an auto/jersey I haven't seen in quite some time. I'm looking at making 2-3 big purchases within the next day.

All comments welcome.

Great cards Jimmy. I'm a big fan of Crawford too. Here's just a few I have. Nothing great but still good.

awesome additions, some very nice steals for sure

Nice collection man, congrats on the wins. Where do you think Crawford will end up next year? Are you a Rays fan or just Crawford?

[CrawfordFan13]

Thanks for the comments everyone!

@dizzydolse- I've been a Rays fan since 2005, I used to be a Phillies fan but I never really paid attention to baseball. So back in 05 I looked for something to spice up my baseball life so I found Carl Crawford and decided to follow him and the Rays. I've been a die-hard Rays/Crawford fan since.

I personally think he'll end up a Yankee (ugh), but I'm praying he'll stay a Ray. It's been so long I'm going to stay a Ray fan no matter where he goes, but I'll always follow and root for him deep down (and collect his cards).

At first I thought he would become a Yankee too but now I think he will be an Angel. I think the Yankees are really happy with the year Brett Gardner had and will stick with him in left and use the money they would have spent on Crawford on starting pitching. Also, I think Torii Hunter and Crawford are good friends and Hunter has been subtley recruiting him.

)):) I've been eyeing this baby since it was listed. It's one of 8 BGS 10 Bowman Chrome RCs of Crawford. That is an amazing steal imo. I got lucky on it too, it wasn't nearly as high as I thought it would be so I bid $69ish at the last second when the bid was only at $51, thankfully I did. This is one of my favorite cards in my collection.
