Solid first post after joining 5 years ago. I’m being sincere - an ‘88 Topps Jeffries would hit me in all the happy places

2021 Bowman's Best Wander Franco with a sweet, sweet RC logo on that puppy.

I still don't know how topps missed him that year

Would someone be able to mock up some of the rarer parallels of of the ‘18 Update Acuna vertical white jersey SSP? Particularly the camo, black, Indy, and/or Mother’s/Father’s Day

Yankees (and Mets) Seinfeld autograph set - (my mockups)

A lot of licensing would be involved to make it happen, but would love to see such a set one day. We have been inching closer, first with the Mets Citi Field giveaways and now 2021 Panini Treasures Costanza jersey card.

Where are Roger McDowell and Keith Hernandez??

And can we get a Tartabull slice of Snickers memorabilia card?

I know I'm the only one, but I'd really like an Edgar Santana card. He gave my son his first ball and signed it and I'd really like a card to put with it in a display. I know he's just a bullpen guy, but he's pitched in almost 130 games over three seasons and can't get a base card in update or something? I mean, I know we all really wanted a Spencer Howard Rookie Debut card this year but throw the guy a bone and give him an MLB card!

abaseballjunkie · 03-01-2022, 06:21 PM

A Topps Jeff Weaver RC. I used to PC him (he went to my hometown school, Fresno State, and I met him before a game in 5th grade or so) and was a big fan, and I recently realized that he didn't get a flagship card until his 4th season (2002 Traded he was finally included). Kinda strange considering he was a highly-touted prospect - 14th overall pick in 1998, shot to the majors with the Tigers in 1999.

Not going to lie, would have loved to have had a 1998 TOPPS Regular, Chrome, Finest or Stadium Club Piazza as a Marlin- I feel like with Topps 1998 designs the colors of the Marlins jersey would pop. Also kind of wish 1998 Fleer Tradition had a vintage version of his Marlins card.

Fleer had a incredible photo on it Notables card, but I really feel like Topps had some incredible photos they never used in their set. I know there are negatives around that they sold in the past but I have never been able to find/ see them. Just the SOLD listings. The 2020 Topps Super 70 is the closest to a Piazza topps card I've gotten, and its a horrible photo.

cfern023 · 07-19-2022, 05:18 PM

MAn, going through this thread is incredible. The 93 Jeter Finest is amazing, same with the desert storm pedro.

1998 Topps Traded would've been a great set with a ton of vets in unusual jerseys like a Marlins Piazza, Giants Joe Carter, Astros Randy Johnson, Indians Cecil Fielder, Angels Gregg Jefferies, Mets Orel Hershiser and Mets Hideo Nomo. Rookie/Prospects cards of JD Drew, Kerry Wood, Troy Glaus, Adrian Beltre, Shane Spencer and El Duque. Mostly, I just wish Topps had made a card of Matt Luke in 1998.

We will never get a Dick Trickle + Rusty Kuntz dual card. Well, we might, but there won't be dual on-card autos. And that's a darn shame.

Silent George · 07-19-2022, 07:42 PM

has anyone mentioned a 98 topps henderson card in an Angels uni?

Not nearly as tragic as history omitting the dual auto of Cannonball Titcomb and Jack Glasscock.
