This last weekend was not only Father's Day; it was also the weekend of the card show! As always, I set out to hunt for some Canseco cards for my collection. As I got there, I could immediately tell that this was a hopping place.

http://www.tanmanbaseballfan.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/20160618_111844.jpg

Something was much, much more different though. There must have been something in the air, because the show-goers seemed to dress a bit odd.

The selection seemed a bit slim...

http://www.tanmanbaseballfan.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/20160618_153905.jpg

But TONS of people flocked to the quarter bins...

http://www.tanmanbaseballfan.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/20160618_152637.jpg

Hey, at least there were some decent signers...

http://www.tanmanbaseballfan.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/20160618_134519.jpg

I knew something was off when I asked this dealer if he had any rare Canseco cards, and he decided to strike a pose while singing with his shirt off.

http://www.tanmanbaseballfan.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/20160618_135826.jpg

In case you didn't know already, this was not the card show. It was COMICPALOOZA. Yes, friends. I have apparently stepped over to the dark side. I chose a comic-con over a cardboard-con. A very good friend of ours who works the show as a sign language interpreter bought us tickets.

(This is her and Lou Ferrigno at the show.)

http://www.tanmanbaseballfan.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/20160618_125339.jpg

I definitely hold firm to the belief that the world would be a better place if we all dressed up in the "real world" like people do in places like this! The dashing young man getting arrested by the 501st Legion is my son.

http://www.tanmanbaseballfan.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/20160618_133419.jpg

It was quite possibly 10 times the size of the card show, and possibly 10 times the entertainment ... and that is just talking about watching the show-goers!

Our friend knows Ming Chen from Comic Book Men (Remember this booklet I made a few months back? Yeah, that Ming Chen! She didn't know him when I made it.)

http://www.mycollectionofcards.com/baseballcards/031916/inside.jpg

He was a signer at the convention so she introduced us to him. (This is my son and wife.)

http://www.tanmanbaseballfan.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/20160618_132350.jpg

So while I didn't go to a card show to pick up any cards for the collection, I did make some. (Go figure!)

First up, is one I did a while ago, but finally decided upon the player worn patch piece to go with it.

http://www.tanmanbaseballfan.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/legendary.jpg

The next one is a card that never was. Jose's first card was a 1983 Fritsch. What many people don't know is that he played for a team called the Idaho Falls A's (and a minor league team named the Miami Marlins, too!) back in 1982. The 1982 TCMA Idaho Falls set didn't included him.

http://www.tanmanbaseballfan.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Untitled-6.jpg

Well, now he has one.

http://www.tanmanbaseballfan.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/1982.jpg

Coming up with old pics are tough as nails, so I used a picture from his high school yearbook.

http://www.tanmanbaseballfan.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/1981-CORAL-PARK-YB.jpg
Swap out "Coral Park" for "A's"

http://www.tanmanbaseballfan.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Untitled-9.jpg

Remove the parking lot and coach's truck in the background

http://www.tanmanbaseballfan.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Untitled-10.jpg

And voila! A 1982 TCMA Idaho Falls rookie card of 17 year old Jose Canseco.

http://www.tanmanbaseballfan.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/1982.jpg

It may not look like much, but I love it, as it fills a hole in my collection that couldn't be filled.

I also did a few others. As 2016 Finest came out, I was very happy with the Intimidators set. Sure, I was bummed that it only came in regular, orange, red and super ... (If anyone runs into the superfractor, PM me!) I figured I'd have some fun and make another version of it.

http://www.tanmanbaseballfan.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/finest.jpg

I think it goes well with the others!

http://www.tanmanbaseballfan.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/finests.jpg

Last but not least, I have been wanting to do something like this for a while now. Something thick with a heavy memorabilia piece. Something like 2014 Topps Rookie Cup All Stars. So, here it is! It is a super thick card, and the rookie cup trinket used in the middle is the same one they used for the "real" 2014 Topps Rookie Cup All Star card.

http://www.tanmanbaseballfan.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/rookiecup.jpg

To be honest with you though, that isn't what I have been putting a lot of time into lately. These past several months, I've been working on something huge for my collection. Something that I am very, very proud of. Something that I hope you will be able to benefit from as well.

Like many collectors, I went through several stages. My checklist started as a handwritten document (which I could barely read anyway, because I have the quite possibly the WORST penmanship on the planet!). Then I graduated to a printed MS Word document. From there, I went to MS Excel. Each stage took a ton of work, but allowed me to easily share with the world what I had and what I needed.

This past year, I took it to another level, and made my entire checklist searchable online. I had dreams of people rushing to their computers to type in Canseco Gallery of Cards - Tan Man Baseball Fan (http://www.CansecoCollector.com) to see if they had cards that I needed. While it didn't *quite* go down like that, it did help me to quickly see what I had/didn't have if something cool popped up online. The problem? It took pretty long to load, and was. so. boring. I mean, thousands of lines of text just doesn't do much for anyone.

So, this is where I killed two birds with one stone.

Again, like every collector, I had thought long and hard about how to store my collection. I didn't want to top load ALL my cards and put them in boxes, because they would be hard to see/display whenever I wanted. I wanted to put them all in binders, so I could easily look at them.

On the other hand, I KNEW I wasn't going to put all my cards in pages. I've seen far too many left column cards bite the dust thanks to over stuffed albums. Plus, since I am BIG into organization, what am I to do when I fill up an album, only to find a variation I didn't know existed? Knowing me, that would mean taking out all the cards in the binder to make room for the one I needed (which would probably never get done.)

The solution?

Scan every single card.
Title every single card.
Put them in my own online searchable database.
Make the search capabilities powerful.

So, that is what I did! Thankfully, a former supercollector I purchased a lot off of had several already scanned, but I still had to scan thousands of items, name everything and setup/modify the searchable database.

http://www.tanmanbaseballfan.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/20160523_152749.jpg

This scratches two itches for me: 1) It allows me to share a fun visual checklist with someone that can quickly & easily check against to see if they have a card I need, and 2) It allows me to enjoy my cards as if it were in a binder - only better. It also allows me have fun looking at my rainbows, and line up my variations in a row.

I took a pic of all my 1986 donruss rated rookie variations the other day, just to see what I had, and it was a pain gathering them all. I had to go into my 1986, 2001, unopened pack and buyback boxes to retrieve them all. Heck, I even forgot some of them. Now, I can just run a quick search: Then ... BAM! It even tells me the amount of items.

http://www.tanmanbaseballfan.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/86donruss.jpg

What about the highly coveted 1992 Topps All Star card? Sure, most think regular, gold & gold winner. Here is my run...all 11 of them:

http://www.tanmanbaseballfan.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/92topps.jpg

2015 Topps Dynasty?

http://www.tanmanbaseballfan.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/dynasty.jpg

Of course the most fun for me is to run a search to show only my patch cards, autographs, 1/1's etc. The search capabilities are very flexible, so I can almost pair up anything and everything to show together. It even has the capability of setting tags, so you can automatically call up my favorite cards, very rare cards, customs, etc. Speaking of customs, this has been great to allow me to fully integrate my customs into my collection. They look right at home with the "real" cards!

You can try it out at Canseco Gallery of Cards - Tan Man Baseball Fan (http://www.CansecoCollector.com) - if you like it, you are welcome to check out the tutorial I wrote here on how to set it up for your own collection!

Oh, and another thing: Want to take a screenshot of an ENTIRE page all at once? Download "Awesome Screenshot" for Firefox. Great stuff!

As collectors, we don't just want to buy cards and shove them in boxes. There is a much more social element to it all. We want to share our treasures and hear the feedback of others - just look at all the "mail day" threads online. Speaking of which, these past 1-2 weeks have been EPIC in terms of PC additions, primarily thanks to these two HUGE hits!

http://www.tanmanbaseballfan.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Untitled-1.jpg

http://www.tanmanbaseballfan.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Untitled-2.jpg

So, without further ado, this is the moment I've been waiting for. The moment I get to finally share my ENTIRE collection with you. Something that I have spent COUNTLESS hours not only assembling, but also loading up online...and I'm glad I did!

My collection simply would not be what it is without you all telling me whenever a cool Canseco pops up somewhere online. I cannot thank you enough! PLEASE keep it coming!

And now, friends ... the heart of my obsession. My collection ... in its entirety. (Until the mailman comes today, that is!) This is what happens when you only collect one player, and are obsessed with baseball cards!

Tanner, a couple of thoughts;

* As a lifelong sports card and Canseco fan (30 years+), I can't believe how many cards Jose has that I was completely oblivious to.

* I love the project, I've been wanting to do something similar but as of yet haven't found the right vehicle and/or medium. I've gone as far as putting my HOF autos into Photobucket which is a start but not the same thing. I also did Zistle awhile back but also not the same.

* Your passion always fires me up, be it for Canseco, your customs, your writing or your family, it is infectious.

I paired down this posting to show ONLY gu/relic/auto/1 of 1s because let's face it ... 4,000 items is a TON!

LOL - I actually used my program I have a written a tutorial for as mentioned in my post to show thumbnails and captions. The screenshots were taken using "Awesome Screenshot" for firefox. The 2 worked well together.

Thanks man! If you see anything else, you know where to find me :)

Thanks a ton for every word here. As mentioned above, I paired it down quite a bit but the rest can be seen at my site. I just love playing with the search engine to display what otherwise would just be sitting in my boxes.

Great stuff! I've been working on getting pictures and all that of all of the cards in my collection as well (although not exactly the same method as you), so I can appreciate the work that it involves. Looks great now that you're all done!

Very cool! Don't forget to post up whenever you do.

Thanks! I did have miles and miles of pictures, but cut down to just some of them. Here is a link to all of them "pictured" New Document (http://www.mycollectionofcards.com/info.php?section=062216) though cansecocollector.com is the best place to see everything.

Really love how you have this set up. I have always wanted to make a spreadsheet of my collection, with pictures included, but always start the process, but never to completion. It "may" be a possibility that I'm just old and not savvy with the computer.

I may try to give it a whirl using what you have on your site. We'll see how it goes. I do collect memorabilia as well as cards for my PC; do you think it would sorta work the same for different size items?

Thanks so much for sharing your AWESOME collection!

mouschi

06-22-2016, 05:37 PM

Thanks! Yes, I think it will work well. ..at least with some tweaking. If you go to my site you can see it in action by selecting the non card items tag in the drop down. I have all my non card stuff there.

I just maxed out the rest of my data plan on my phone for the rest of the month after downloading all those pics, but damn was it worth it seeing all those great cards and reading your story.

My dad was stationed in Alameda, CA and we moved there just a few months after the 89 World Series, so I was there for the Bash Brothers! My best friend and I at the time would go out to the field every afternoon and play home run derby and I was always Canseco. Great times and great memories! Thanks for sharing yours. Keep up the amazing work on your own creations.

You sir are a MAN! That's big time right there... love being able to see the entire run of so many different sets. I have seen a lot of supercollections in my years of collecting.... yours is by far and away my favorite. The focus and consistent additions are something to be proud of.

Stunning stuff man. Great job with making the program to be able to share it. If / when that becomes available I am sure a bunch of us would want in on it. (Photo bucket just keeps getting worse... this would be a phenomenal tool for Buying / Selling / Trading.) I'd pay for it.

Last thing, that gypsy queen button superfractor custom.... are you freaking kidding me bro? That is the nicest card I have seen all day and I spent most of the day on here and comc. Did you just combine two of the greatest concepts in cardboard into one card? A superfractor button card? :D Genius.

Thanks for all the kind words! I'd love to see more folks use this type of system. Please feel free to use the tutorial link in the original post.

I love all the cards, but especially enjoy the old cellos and racks with Canseco on top. The younger generations may not full appreciate this, I'd really like to see packs with cards showing again - in non-searchable packs, of course. Displaying a card or two would probably be a good marketing tactic and be a great way to provide brand identity.

The greatest thrill was going to a grocery store and finding your favorite player on the top. I have a near-complete run of Canseco from 86-91 (the target I set out for.) I also made a few "custom" ones that never existed to display the 1986 topps traded in a cello, and the same goes for the 1986 fleer update.

Ha...I still get that little bit of a thrill when I find packs with George Brett on top or bottom, or even some other stars. Doesn't matter if it's a junk wax era pack.

Oh for sure - total eye glaze after the first minute. That is what my searchable site at Canseco Gallery of Cards - Tan Man Baseball Fan (http://www.cansecocollector.com) is for though! :) I don't expect many folks to use it, but heck - if anyone wants to it is there! It has been very helpful for me several times already.

Lol...I go back a bit further. I remember begging my parents to buy a box of Hostess cupcakes or some other tasty treat. It wasn't for the goodies though, it was for the panel of 3 baseball cards on the box.

Does that include Burger King for cards?

Awesome post. Here is my list for future Canseco customs:

1952 Topps
1956 Topps
1961 Topps
1986 Topps Football
1986-87 Fleer Basketball
1986 Opee-Chee Hockey
1986 Topps Traded color parallels, color in the black block around the name, can you make chrome customs? Refractors? I actually have a sheet of 22 kt. Gold Superfractor paper, can you print on that?

I have a few of these already ... and also have an interest in the 86 topps football / 86/86 fleer bkb versions in the not too distant future :) Here are a few from the list already (or similar)

Wow that was a lot to scroll through but really cool to see a collection of that magnitude. That's dedication!

Forget history as we know it.

All of Blowout wants the chance to pull a dual Mouschi/Canseco SSP Invisistash mini Chrome refractor with braided pieces from the infamous Mouschi lip wig.

Can I get a oh my cherry pie!?

Let me ask a question.

The world is ending. Fires everywhere, you can only grab one Canseco card. Can't be two, or "this lot"

it can only be 1 single Canseco card, which one do you take?

That's a good question...On top of that, do you grab your kid(s), wife or the one Canseco card

LOL! You know the nightmare "would you rather" predicament of saving your family vs. the world? Well ... if it were up to me, you all would be in trouble :p

This is a stressful question for me! I have 78 of my favorite cards shown here: EDIT: BAH - it won't let me direct you to the link so go to www.CansecoCollector.com and select "my favorites" in the drop down on the right :)

If I HAD to pick ONE, that would be MEGA tough. It might have to be one of my customs:

A pic of me (pre-stache) showing some customs I did, with Canseco signing it, complimenting me on my work and calling me his friend. I don't think it can get cooler than that for me :)

Without looking through your collection or want list, I was curious of you collect his Strat-O-Matic game cards? I just picked up the 1988 entire board game at a garage sale and it was complete. Not sure what I am going to do with the game yet....lol.

I sure do - I am missing the 90, 91, 95, 97, 00, 01 and 02 (not sure all these were made or not.) I don't have them on my want list but if any ever show up on ebay I grab 'em :)
