Ranford mailday!

Really happy to land this one. Only been wanting it for about 13 years, lol.


Popped up on eBay in December... I've had it in hand for a couple of weeks now, finally showing it off. Considering only cards from 2015 and older - I have a want list that's now down to 19 cards (and only 5 that are older than 2013). I don't find older stuff I'm looking for very often, because there isn't much to find.







2006-07 ITG Between The Pipes Game Used Number / Autograph. Hand numbered on the back to 10 copies.



It goes really nice with these two:




That's the Game Used Number (also limited to 10 copies), the Number & Auto I showed in the first picture, and the Game Used Number Gold, which is a 1/1.




They all go really well with the rest of the cards from this set:





That's the Game Used Jersey (/90), the Jersey & Autograph (/10), and the Jersey Gold (/10)
The Number (/10), Number / Autograph (/10), and Number Gold (/1) shown above
and the Emblem (/10), and Emblem / Autograph (/10).


If anyone has the Emblem Gold (1/1) kicking around.... I'd be happy to work out a deal :)

13 years later, I find the Number / Auto out of 10.... so you never know? Part of the problem with the Gold cards on this set: They're not numbered.... and you really have to pay attention to what you're looking at to spot the difference. There's a chance it's been on eBay, but listed as a "regular" GU Emblem, and I just let it pass. Hopefully I do find it.

Thank! Have had most of those for years... was really happy to land this one.

Yup. If I want to add new Ranford stuff to the collection, I suppose I could go crazy and start buying up the overpriced stuff from 19-20 Artifacts..... but I don't often get to add older cards, especially older than the last couple of years. Was really happy to find this one.

So true. Some ITG 1/1's are hard to spot, since sometimes the only difference is the letters in gold foil which some collectors might miss.
