Woohoo! Tier One auto set (pretty much) complete
 
Hey all,

I started this set around Christmas when I had $200 bucks to spend. I bought a Bert Blyleven Crowd Pleasers auto /25, and a nice little card that had a sig of Sandy Koufax, a Top Tier auto /199. Well I immediately loved the on-card auto and the set design, and once I found out there were 20 HOF caliber players in the set, I decided to go for it. 4 months and $1,000+ later, I've pretty much finished the set. Thanks to these Blowout members who sold and traded to me:

houdini
atoaz12
DEboxbreaker

And a very special thanks to bonehead, who sent me the Reggie Jackson for [B]free[/B]. I haven't forgotten that man, and I'm still looking for a nice Pirates card to hit you back with.

7 of the cards came from people off youtube, and the rest were from ebay.

The last one I needed was Prince Fielder, which is a redemption, which is the reason why the set is only "pretty much" complete. It has been redeemed, but isn't set to ship for a few months.

Agreed. It's hard to find a nice sig of him anymore

Wow is that a beautiful set. And almost of them have great signatures too!

WhacksPacks 03-27-2012 05:33 PM

Awesome..simply awesome..and smart!

For a little more than the price of a case you made a set that will usually only get you a few of the cards in that case!
