A few days ago while browsing eBay, I came across a listing for a Tino Martinez card I didn't have.
The only problem was, it wasn't Tino who was shown!
The description was for Tino, but pictured was former Mariner Carlos Guillen. I wasn't sure if this was meant to be a Tino card, or a Guillen card.
Luckily, it ended up being a Tino card once I notified the seller and he updated the listing, and for $2 I was able to secure a Tino #'d to 99 that I didn't have!
I liked Pacific Private Stock a lot. I believe it was Pacific's answer to Topps Gallery. While the set wasn't around for long, it did look pretty nice. Plus, I have a soft spot in my heart for Pacific.
I'm glad that in the end, the bogus listing ended up being for a card I needed!
I collected baseball cards from the late '80s through 2002. Then I went to college and when I came out, I was lost. There were too many brands, sets, choices, relics, autos, parallels, variations. It was a turn off. However, I slowly made my way back. So here is my attempt to venture back into the hobby. I'll buy a few packs of cards here and there, comment on some cards I have, send out some TTMs, and follow the progress of my Topps Yankees Project.
You can never go wrong with serial numbered Pacific!
ReplyDeleteOne of these days I hope to have the complete (baseball) run of Pacific brands.
ReplyDeleteIf you do this, you will be my hero.
DeleteVery nice. Wasn't a big Pacific guy back in the 90's (too much gold foil). These day I appreciate them much more than I ever have.
ReplyDeleteCan't go wrong with a new player collection card for only $2
