I have officially topped
the 1,000 mark for unique Griffey cards and have moved my collection from a
1,000-ct box to a 5,000-ct box. Big aspirations but considering that I went
from 92 Griffey cards to 1,033 Griffey cards in 22 months I now know that I can
build a nice Griffey collection for a reasonable price.
What card is #1,000?
Well, I am not absolutely certain because as I got closer to the big 1K I went
on a bit of a splurge and they all came in within a 7-10 days of each other so
I am going to use one of the cooler cards from the purchases as my target card.
The card is from the
2000 Pacific Aurora release and is from the Dugout View Net-Fusions insert
which replicates the foul pole netting. There are a couple of netting cards
that were released around this time by Pacific and it is pretty cool that in
this version they used net-like material.
In other Ken Griffey Jr.
PC news, I have begun the great migration of keeping an Excel spreadsheet of my
complete Griffey collection with the uncertainty of Zistle leaves me concerned
that all my information could be gone in a moment.
Congrats, buddy!
ReplyDeleteMan I love that card. I have the card of other players, just not the Ken I need
ReplyDeleteI am still a little ways from the monster 1,000
DeleteCongrats! Even with the size of my collection (about 130,000 cards) only one person tops the thousand mark for me. As a basketball collector it should not be a surprise that it's Jordan. Jeff Gordon in NASCAR is close too. Hitting 1000 on any person is a major milestone.
ReplyDeleteWow! Nearly 1,000 Griffeys in less than 2 years time? That's getting down to business! Congrats on the milestone.
