Continuing the Quest

 There are over 120 HOF'ers that have been elected to the Baseball HOF since 1970.  Since I started my

"Quest" about 2 months ago, I've added 36 Memorabilia patch cards to my collection.  As I continue, I 

know it will get harder to find and afford cards for certain HOF'ers.  My quest will be fun, while 

knowing I may never complete it.   Like my "bubble" collection and many other collector 

passions, they grow while we don't know if there is an end.  Here are a couple of new Patch cards:

Goes in  Patches and "Bob" collection

GOT a few cards from the 60's

I try and get cards from different manufacturers and styles

1962 Bell Brand

First time for me seeing this brand, 1968 Sports Memorabilia

My 5 yr old granddaughter knew this card and thought it was neat

Another "Sunset card" of Hank

Need two more cards to complete set

Thome and Javy 

Lopez   Let me know if you have one to trade.

I'm also collecting cards of possible, down the road HOF'ers.

I have 15 of those cards so far.,

Game Used quest

 I recently started a new mini collection, Game used or Patch cards for HOF'ers.  I started with 31 

and have added 22 in the past month.  Two were COMC purchases and the rest have been trades

on TCDB.

A little history on Patch cards.  Press Pass started the trend in 1995 with Tire pieces on Racing cards

from cars.  Next were Upper Deck starting in 96-97 Hockey and baseball in 1997.  The three UD

baseball cards were Griffey, Gwynn and Ordonez.  Here are a couple of my recent acquisitions.

The older the player, the tougher to find and the cost rises.

Minor League bubble

Another "Bob" mini collection

1975 TCMA  About 250 cards so far in this collection.

At least 1 Topps base Bob from every year

I've been collecting Matt since the Card Life

Working on 1 card from every National year

Being a life long Tigers fan, this is my 22nd different Skubal rookie.

Gavin works his Magic

 Although Gavin has done multiple customs for me, I'm always amazed with the Magic he performs.

His latest batch has bubbles on players with no previous cards in my collection.  It includes Ohtani

with his first "Bubble".  Reminds me of an earlier Griffey "Bubble".

Another first bubble card.

Two Tigers Managers that blew bubbles.   Sparky also was a blower.

These above are from his series.

Gavin also does 1/1 customs.

Here a are couple of my "Fun" cards.  Where's Waldo?

Into my collection of Footballs on other sports cards

Can he do a faster replay?

Another Jose Lind fun card without the Samuri Sword.

Please check out Gavin's work on Ebays breakdowncards.

New Mini Collection

 I recently decided to try and collect one Memorabilia, Relic or Signature card of every HOF'er

since 1950.  So far I have 42 cards.  There is a long way to go with over 200 HOF'ers in that category.

Here are a few of my latest from a COMC shipment I just received.

Some of the most recent class.

Almost finished with a couple of insert sets I'm pursuing

1996 Mozaics.  Only need Boggs and Griffey to complete

Another 1996 set.  Christie Brinkley Collection.

This particular bubble has over 25 cards in its "Rainbow".  I now have 16

One of a few to have a minor and major league bubble.

New Football bubbles are hard to find.

As I search Minor League cards to find more bubbles, I usually seek out the better oddballs

for my many mini collections.

vintage and misc

 Let's start with a couple of vintage.  I picked up these two at my last card show.

1933 Tatoo Orbit

I thought it was older, but it's a reprint from the 80's

Still good for my "Bob" collection

Another Bob

This was inserted in last month's Beckett

This is for Mark

This card will trigger a Kahn's post soon.

This is Oh's Sunset Card.  Can you believe 805 HR'S!!!

I have 18 Thomas cards that were unauthorized, but not as many as Griffey Jr.

Minor League Bubble King

 Garrett Havig was dedicated to the Bubble.  Garrett was a trainer for two different minor league teams

and on 9 of his 10 cards he has blown a bubble.

This is his biggest

Other new bubbles included a pair from Topps Black and White

I have three version of Strawberry so far

My 6th version of Winn

One of my favorite players,  this is the 5th version I have of this card

Topps Gallery has had some cool inserts lately

Stan was the baseball coach when I was in college and I took a Handball class

with Stan as my instructor.

I have been accumulating quite a few Minor League cards, mostly from the 70's or older
