Don't touch my Willie's

But I will gladly take any Willies off your hands!!!!  I have seen that Willie is in some of the 2012 sets and I will gladly trade from my massive stock of Ginter minis or base cards for your Willie's.  I am always looking to trade and I have the ability to knock off a lot of ginter base checklists....or reg back mini lists as well.... heck i can put together pretty good team packs of ginter minis as well....  and as always I am looking for ginter minis to finish my sets as well.... check out the wantlist link to the side for my lists....

There are 2 ginter minis not on the lists that I am looking for as well.....  2010 reg back mini 247 Rajai  Davis and 2011 Ginter mini black frame 348 Russell Martin  any got either of these cards????


and just so you know.....  Don't touch my Willie... video version...

as always let's make a deal!!!

Quirky collection completed! 50/50

 The 2009 Allen and Ginter  set had a unique feature that I decided to collect.  Unlike all other years the 2009 No Number minis(NNO) had the print run on the back.  While we have always known that these were limited to a production of 50 per card, unlike the bazooka backs they were never numbered so it always seemed to make the NNO minis not seem as special or short printed, but now they had the hand written numbers on the back so I decided what the heck might as well gather them up.    I knew I was never going to be able to collect all 350 so I had to decide what i was going to collect, when I came up with the idea to collect 1 of each number as in a 1/50, 2/50, 3/50 etc....   which turned out to be a pain in the ass for a lot of ebay listing either dont list the numbering or dont show the back of the card.

 Even so I made a good run of it and for the last year or so I was stuck with 1 card to go: the  26/50  such a random number to be left with.  Finally a couple of weeks ago I finally found it, and I think it was a somewhat fitting card for such an obscure quest.... Vincent Van Gogh a true masterpiece if I must say....though not a Masterpieces.....  for that is an entirely different fool's errand...  right Jeff????

I didnt have any requirements on what cards I was getting and there are some players that are in here more that once, heck Max Scherzer makes it 3 times!  I think Matt Garza and Jeff Clement and David DeJesus are the others who are in there twice.  I have tried to put the best card or at least the player I like best or more favorite non-player into the slots.....  tells u a couple of things....  so of these cards go pretty cheap so i have a bunch of them and that i must have a dreadful selection for Jeff Clement to make it twice....    so very true!   though I do have a few in reserve that should make it in if I make an effort to upgrade.  

Well if you have made it this far and there are any of these that interest you let me know... I may have some backups for that slot...or if you have any of these of your own that you would want to trade me let me know... I will never pass up a good mini.....

Oh I have been working on the Bazooka back /25 version of this as well though I am not to close on it....if u have any of them from 09 that you would like to trade....I would be interested in them as well....

Lets make a deal!!!!

BIGGEST PULL EVER!!!!

Ok first off not all of these are cards that i pulled... but most are..... The Al Kaline auto is by far the best card i have ever pulled in a pack...I dont think its even close..... I got it out of a case of 2012 Ginter retail rack packs.... you know that ones with the gold border minis....what a mini set?? and yes I am building that one as well.... of the others I pulled the /25s from the same case...well I bought the kershaw and the gumbel and I bought the Zobrist mini WOOD 1/1!!! great price on it...too good to pass up... and its the first wood mini that i have ever owned..... it is cool though it would be the ULTIMATE in cool if it was actually wood..... plus i had to post it for the sake of the TROLL!!!!! THe Pineda auto and the /25s are up for trade.....

Joy of a completed set--2009 ginter mini ext edition

Another set of minis finally all finished off, this one involved umm, some detours/delays due to my ummm, less than stellar organization. My final card to finish the set was the Tim Lincecum ext and I found it once.... got it in the mail....then somehow misplaced it....after looking all over.... and realizing I would probably be waiting another couple of years to find another one..... I got lucky... just a 2 month wait and I found one.... got it and didnt lose track of this one. This is one set I am glad to have finished.

Oh I should acknowledge trades received from Nachos Grande, Nightowl Cards, Nooneisgoingtoreadthisblog and of course the troll!!!!! Considering the trades were of run of the mill ginter minis.... I didnt see the need to show the cards....and i am lazy... but thanks everyone for the trades....and here are the 2009 Ginter mins....345-400.... i know the exts are cards not everyone gets to see.... plus i think i promised Jeremy at nooneisgoingtoreadthis along time ago that i would show more exts....
