The card above is the very first James Shields card I got. Aptly it's a 2006 Sweet Beginnings Jersey card.If my memory is correct I believe I paid the grand sum of $1 for it.
Above is card number 100.A 2006 Exquisite dual Rookie Auto of James Shields and Jason Hamels.Hamels of course is now a starter with the Rockies.The goal now is to carry on collecting and try to reach 200 cards by the end of 2011.This shouldn't be too much of a problem due to the amount of parallels printed in each set.Also I want to try and pick up a few more 1/1 cards and maybe even a Superfractor,but that may be out of my price range.Rumours abound that Shields may be traded away from the Rays,if he is I will still continue to pick up his cards,unlike my Kazmir pc which is strictly Rays cards only.
I would like to thank Tony McD for putting me on to COMC and his help in finding Shields cards for me. Also it was Tony's awesome Adam Lind collection that finally spured me on to get the more common Shields cards. Cheers Tony.
Congrats on the milestone! Lets get you to 200!
ReplyDeleteI probably spend as much time looking for cards for other people as I do for myself, so any Shields cards I find I'll pick up or point you in the direction of them.
COMC has dried up for me now though, there's no base cards I need on there and the other cards that I need are grossly overpriced.
Congrats on hitting 100! Chasing base cards makes it soooo much more interesting and keeps the quantity up... You can find 20 different versions of a card in each year of Topps Chrome...
