I am hoarding and slabbing Eddie Murray rookie cards… both regular Topps base and O-Pee-Chee. Trying to get a graded card ladder. My progress is in this thread…

https://www.blowoutforums.com/showthread.php?t=1593087

I also pick up other random Murray cards… autos and other cool stuff.

Player: Dwight Gooden
Total Cards: 452
Total Autos: 445
Total Relics: 95
Total 1/1s: 7

Totals as of October 27, 2025.

[TBTC Baseball]

Player: Chipper Jones
Total Cards: 1,039 (I think my spreadsheet has everything so far)
Total Autos: 2
Total Relics: 16
Total 1/1s: 0

Working on a "Through the years" project with Chipper in as many different versions of 1951-2025 Topps cards (think Archives, Heritage, etc). At 199 of those cards.

How many if just counting the 51 to 25 designs once each?

I would expect Kershaw and Miggy are the closest to a complete run but I doubt the needed cards from the late 90s will ever appear

Late 90's cards should show up as 35th anniversary inserts in the next decade.

I am including Chrome versions of flagship, so Gilded has counted for 2023 and 2024 after they ditched the SP. I am also counting the First Pitch card for 2025 since it is in the flagship design. Gilded is going to likely be the only way it keeps going unless they change things back to Veteran SP cards.

Looks like it is 59.
1951-1964
1969
1971-1972
1975
1981
1983-2013
2017-2025
There is a card that is a very loosely based on 1978 version. I've not decided if I want to include that one yet.

I don't think I am missing any years, but am missing some different versions in some years. Mostly auto cards.

Reggie Sanders

Total Cards: 985 unique
Total Autos: 6 unique (he doesn’t have many and I don’t actively collect his post-retirement cards)
Total Relics: 16 (he doesn’t have many)
Total 1/1s: 10

[ronzo]

Player: Andy Pettitte, Yankees cards only.
Total Cards: 1512 / 1674
Total Autos: 50
Total Relics: 100
Total 1/1s: 10

I made my own checklist of cards excluding all Autos, Relics, and cards #'d under 9 (Starting 9 is one of my grails).
I still pick up a few occasionally if I see a good deal or like a design, but don't track them so those numbers are just estimates.

[Wrightfan85]

Player: Francisco Lindor (Mets only)

Total Cards: 671
Total Autos: 1
Total Relics: 19
Total 1/1s: 3

[shawnkrebs]

Ryan Zimmerman

Total Cards:2800+, though I dont have exact breakout or count.
Total Autos: 1050+
Total Relics:1300+
Total 1/1s: 450+ (includes print plates & moments/milestones 1/1's)

I scanned all the Zim cards I had in 2019, but haven't had a chance to do so since:

https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/gg9vj...=3fpwjefy&dl=0

I do also have a two row box of 2005 raw base rookie singles (update, chrome, origins, sterling, old judge, reflections, sweet spot). Approx 1500 cards.

If anyone is looking to sell their cool Ryan Zimmerman game used, autos, rare rookies and 1/1's cards or game used items (bats, jerseys, etc., please let me know!

Would really like to see your collection. Scan those babies for us please.

It's really easy. Add a column and label it "Relic". Any card that is a relic, put an "x" in that column. Anywhere that you have totals or a "dashboard" put in this formula: =COUNTIF(starting cell letter and number:ending cell letter and number,"x")

EXAMPLE: If column H is your "Relic" column and you have 1500 rows, the formula would be: =COUNTIF(H2:H1500,"x")

We're not worthy! That is amazing.

George Brett. Though I own cards released after he retired, I specifically collect one of each card from his playing days. And though I have a bunch of regional and oddballs, I'm sure I'm missing some oddballs. As for the main ones from his playing days, I'm only missing 2: his 1975 OPC RC and his 1993 Finest Refractor.

Total Cards: I have over two 5,000 count boxes full of his cards, so 11,100+ total. Unique: 1,103 (at last count)
Total Autos: 10
Total Relics: 42
Total 1/1s: 8

[tkraft24]

I'm more of a team collector but play favorites and only have Autographs and Game Used cards inventoried at this time. Here's some counts I came up with in Excel for some of my favorite targets:

CC Sabathia -
Total Autographs: 104
Additional Autographs (slabbed IP/aftermarket): 90
Total Relics: 85

Manny Ramirez -
Total Autographs: 69
Additional Autographs (slabbed IP/aftermarket): 65
Total Relics: 82

Jim Thome -
Total Autographs: 33
Additional Autographs (slabbed IP/aftermarket): 51
Total Relics: 115

Kenny Lofton -
Total Autographs: 35
Additional Autographs (slabbed IP/aftermarket): 53
Total Relics: 44

Victor Martinez -
Total Autographs: 173
Additional Autographs (slabbed IP/aftermarket): 49
Total Relics: 125

Grady Sizemore -
Total Autographs: 67
Additional Autographs (slabbed IP/aftermarket): 34
Total Relics: 148

Albert Belle -
Total Autographs: 25
Additional Autographs (slabbed IP/aftermarket): 64
Total Relics: 10

Cliff Lee -
Total Autographs: 89
Additional Autographs (slabbed IP/aftermarket): 44
Total Relics: 11

Travis Hafner -
Total Autographs: 160
Additional Autographs (slabbed IP/aftermarket): 7
Total Relics: 102

Bartolo Colon -
Total Autographs: 15
Additional Autographs (slabbed IP/aftermarket): 54
Total Relics: 8

Steve Olin -
Total Autographs: N/A
Additional Autographs (slabbed IP/aftermarket): 43
Total Relics: N/A


There's definitely some cross-over between the player lists. For example, there's a lot of multi-player cards that got counted for each player featured on the card.

The Game Used list doesn't count Autograph/Relic combos - those were counted exclusively as Autographs.

[Big35Hurt]

Frank Thomas cards:

Total Cards: over 6,000
Total Autos: 5 or 6 I think
Total Relics: around 50
Total 1/1s: 4 or 5 I think

Not much of an auto collector so I really don't go out of my way to obtain these. 1/1 cards for Frank can go for a solid amount and I am honestly more interested in cards from his playing days with the Sox. Post-career 1/1s have not been a focus either.

[theplasticman]

Darin Erstad collection is hovering around 93% complete, without 1/1 factored in.

Total Cards: 25k?
Unique Cards: 2700ish
Total Autos: no idea, guessing around 500-1000?
Total Relics: same
Total 1/1s: a few hundred

[etherealsoc]

David Justice - collected him since 1990.

Total Cards: Over 30,000
Unique Cards: 2,542
Total Autos: ~400 including non-cards memorabilia
Total Relics: ~100
Total 1/1s: 27

Y'all are wild having so many cards of one player.
