nice set there heritageaddict. too bad there all cardinals though lol. i just worked a trade for a derek lee silk today. sposed to send cards and monies on monday.
I think the silks are great. As far as I know, this is the first silk set to include Frank Thomas. I had always wanted a Thomas silk card, so I had to jump on one. Does anyone know of any other silk sets that include the Big Hurt?
I agree that the silks are great and I'm glad that HeritageAddict is done bidding on the Cardinals ones While waiting on the silks I've been slowly getting every mini back variation of the Cardinals players and a few of the non-spots cards that I like (Einstein, Nietzsche, Bigfoot and the Arch). Luckily I pulled the Arch silk from a pack
edited to add that I bought a Nietzsche printing plate last night

Yeah, I've zoned on a few people's responses myself. Does anyone remember how long the 07 A&G craze lasted on here last year? I'm just wondering when I need to start preparing myself for shock.
how much are silk commons going for? or should i say, how much should i be asking in trade for one? i keep forgetting to add that i pulled a lyle overbay silk card the other day. i didnt like them at first but they're starting to grow on me.
i would like to trade any of my relics for the baseball icons that i need (see a few posts above for my list)
Silks really depend on the player. I have seen some end for the price of a few packs...personally I would never be that desperate, but some (like Frank Thomas' cards, can get very pricey). Player collectors eat this stuff up..and they should, these are really nice.
I hadn't seen anyone mention this auction and was wondering WTF??? I remember seeing this go on eBay earlier for way more. Now this auction from what looks like a conartist saying there are 10 mammoths not 1. I am sure this is old news but how did this auction not get pulled on eBay?
I haven't seen many of the cuts on ebay yet. I think some King was pulled maybe the III???
Someone help me out with these last cards.

Still desperately looking for Base (Regular Sized) #s 310 and 338....Sent a couple PMs but, mysteriously, never heard back. Please let me know if you can help me out!
Once I get these two, I will be done with A&G for the season!
Ross and everyone else: I'm glad to report that fur72 just finished off the last two cards I needed. Thanks for everyone's help - I had an awesome summer trading with all of you. Best of luck finishing your sets and I'll be sure to see you guys next year.
Wow at that aviation set auction. That just flies in the face of reasonable thought. People were overpaying before when they were shelling out $60-$100 for the set. $129 is just... NUTBALLS.
I hope the buyer doesn't look up what the price on that set will be about 6 months from now.
Nolan Ryan & Edgar Martinez are my favorite players...
I thought about listing my Pablo Picasso. At $40 I might want to list it now.

A hot pack is when some dude goes into his local Walmart or Target, uses a measuring and weighing device to pick out the packs containing the "hit" card (a relic or auto), and then rushes home to sell the pack as a Hot Pack on eBay.
If you check the eBay feedback of these dudes, you'll see that these so-called hot packs always seem to result in the least-favorable relics and autos. E.g., if you buy a 2008 A&G hot pack, you're going to pay $10-$20 for a Richie Sexson jersey.
Nolan Ryan & Edgar Martinez are my favorite players...
Actually there is no way to tell the difference between a relic and a GU jersey this year short of pack re-sealing. You could have a David Wright auto in those packs...you think someone so dishonest to pack rape anyway is not going to try to reseal packs too?
