Wow* You start this in 03? Bought alot of boxes or ??

I started it in ernest in late 2004. I love the design of the 1963 fleer cards and it was my favorite set of 2003. When the box prices fell I decided I would give it I try. I purchased almost 80 boxes of the update and purchased a bunch of singles. The hobby boxes seem to have dried up so I am kind of stuck at the moment. I guess I figured since I was woring on a "junk" set the boxes would be easy to find. I noticed this year with some of the rookies getting off to good starts the boxes were much harder to find. So I though I would reach out to see if anyone has any of these lying around just taking up space. If course the last cards are the one's that drive you crazy, but that's part of the reason I enjoy collecting cards. If anyone is looking for some of these glossy cards let me know and I will see if I can help you I have about 350 extra's. I even got 1 card that is numbered 101/100 though that was interisting

Thanks for sharing. Interesting.

That 101/100 is awesome. I saw a similar serial #'d error before. It was 00/50 or something like that.

Whoa 80 boxes.!!

Maybe a posted buy offer on Naxcom will help for some of those needed.

Good Luck finding them all.

George,
Do you happen to have a BJ Surhoff from the Update set in your pile of extras?

1989FleerBillRipkencollector

Awesome 101/100 pic. Thanks.

mets

If that 101/100 card is ever taking up too much room LMK.

<FONT face=Verdana size=1>1989FleerBillRipkencollector,

That card is one I will probably be keeping, It could be good trade bait to finish the set though. Here are 3 other errors you might like I think they are from 1987 so maybe fleer can just tell the future????

George

PS I am looking for the correct version of the twins card if anyone has these.</FONT>

1989FleerBillRipkencollector

If you collect sticker variations and want a list I have LMK as I have a error/variation book written by Dick Gilkeson that is pretty thurough and I have seen the sticker variations listed in there.

mets

Just a bump here I am still looking for these last 15 cards I am paying $15 for commons $25 for Stars and all counter offers will be considered.

Thanks

George

Oh yeah thanks, remind me of the 101/100

I hope you find 'em. I heard a true collector can wait 20 years to find what they need but when I worked fast food, I ate alot of fast food so....

You try any other message boards? Post a buy it now on Naxcom? Want it now on ebay? (though that has yet to help me)



Buying all 101/100 cards if cheap enough.

mets

Yes, I do have a Want it Now ad on ebay anf that has helped a little getting it down to 15 cards. When I see someone running an auction I also ask if they have any of the cards I need. That has not worked yet. My Naxcom buy it now did not work at all but the price was right so I will try that again. I have also purchased a few more boxes without any luck If I am figuring my odds correctly I should get 1 card I need for every 7 boxes I purchasse, so I am only looking for boxes at the "right" price. (800 cards in set/need 15/ 8 glossy per box average). Anyone want to dump boxes out there? The retail? boxes only had 1 glossy per box so I have not purchased any of those.
