Congratulations on completing that project! I really should do the same with the A's and display them in a binder.<br /><br />John Miller - Got it. I'm gonna bust it later in the week. Very excited.<br /><br />The Angels In Order - Me too!<br /><br />arpsmith - Congratulations! I've gotta catch up to you and Nick V.<br /><br />night owl - That's really awesome. Can't put a price tag on cards from your childhood.<br /><br />B Man - I'm not sure why Mother's didn't make these for every team. Maybe they're more of a West coast company... although they did make them for the Astros and Rangers too. Hope you're feeling better.<br /><br />Nick - I can only dream of actually pulling an Ichiro rookie. I guess I could pay big $$$ for an unopened box of cards from 2001, but I don't see that happening anytime soon.<br /><br />Commishbob - Hope you're feeling better by now. Wow. If you're gonna keep only one, it might as well be a Gibson rookie card.<br /><br />jacobmrley - Thanks. I'm hoping I stumble across a few more of these lots to help me fill in some holes.<br /><br />Matthew Scott - That's awesome. I don't have a lot of regrets in life, but I gotta admit there are a few cards I wish I didn't sell back in the early 2000's.<br /><br />Rod - Thanks for the offer... but I still owe you. Let me catch up first ;)<br /><br />defgav - You owned a Reggie rookie card as a kid? Super jealous.<br /><br />Hackenbush - Three Dr. J rookie cards? Yeah, I'd say that's pretty cool.<br /><br />GCA - I'm a little jealous of all of you guys who started collecting in the 70's. I didn't get my start (in regards to baseball) until the early 80's.<br /><br />Jongudmund - 1987 Topps was the first product I ripped in bulk. Busted a bunch of boxes building sets and card lots.<br /><br />Julie Owens - Thanks. Feeling much better, but I've still got this stupid cough.Fujihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00749100861086458307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4199201726099157936.post-80389326244790020842018-02-11T13:52:16.292-08:002018-02-11T13:52:16.292-08:00$2 a set?

Think I've only got a couple so far.<br /><br />The '85 Mother's Gwynn is fittingly among the couple shoeboxes worth of cards from my childhood collection I hung onto through the purge. But the key card I kept has to be my Reggie rookie.defgavhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15338984361942309651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4199201726099157936.post-71256327201248385702018-02-07T10:00:33.519-08:002018-02-07T10:00:33.519-08:00Let me know which Padres sets you still need.

They're almost impossible to find since few seemingly were able to make the trek to the Midwest.
