Overdue update . . .

I have resurrected this thread for a very good reason . . .

The collection continues to grow, albeit, at a much slower
pace these days. These are the No Number minis that have
swelled from a handful to the current count of 89. There are
only 50 sets of these available.













continued in the next post . . .

If anyone has Allen & Ginter No Number minis from 2006-2010,
I will purchase or trade in your favor to acquire them.

Thanks for the looks & Collect Hard!,

It'll never cease . . .

Picked this up at the Arthur Slade show today
in Glen Burnie, Maryland. It's a small show (30+/- tables),
but I know all the dealers on a personal basis. They know
my obsession and they take care of me.



I'm setting a table tomorrow at the Leesburg, Virginia show . . .



If you happen to be in the area, please stop by
our tables and kindly introduce yourself as a
Benchie, I'll make sure that you're very well
taken care of.

I'll be fairly easy to spot. The long haired guy with
the huge ex-New York Giants Linebacker at the table.
We are the Mutt & Jeff show!

Thanks for the looks and Collect Hard!,

simply AWSOME! I am very impressed.

I think that this should qualify you for that "super collector" status of the 2008 A&G. Anyone else want to second the nomination, LOL. That is some pretty amazing stuff right there.

Thank you, I really went over-the-top on
all of the Allen & Ginter sets. I have no intention
of halting this obsession.

It seems it's either feast of famine . . .

when acquisition of this collection is involved.

I received this today . . .



That makes 30 of the 50 Mini Extended cards (available in
Rip Cards only).

From a sale with mld218, whom I was introduced to
several years ago by a friend and fellow collector
on another site linking me to yet another site. We
have had multiple transactions since that chance
meeting on the Topps boards.

Thanks a ton. Mike. It pays to keep great folks and
collectors on your radar.

I thought Santa had a North Pole return address . . .

I received an unexpected piece of
mail yesterday. It had a San Francisco return address . . .




Folks, that is a Topps Vault 1 of 1 Blank Back
Press Proof.

This is third Christmas in a row that I have
received one of these gems from the most
hard-core player collector on the planet . . .
Peter (jaderock).

I don't have the command for words to adequately
convey my appreciation for this generosity. I am
at a loss for words.



Those bottom three are the gifts from the
San Francisco Santa Claus, in sequence 2008/2009/2010.
(please forgive my hideous photgraphy, my talents & background run toward scanning)

Amazing, thank you, Peter.

Impressive, just plain Impressive.

I have a couple of 2008 no numbers that I didn't see in your photos, Fausto Carmona and Howie Kendrick. LMK if you're interested.

Thanks!

I've done a great deal of scanning to keep up with
my quest to create a photographic biography of the
Allen & Ginter collection.

One of these fine days, I'll post a similar topic for
the 2006, 2007, 2009 and 2010 sets.
