Completed Ben S-H-E-E-T-S By The Letter Autographs!

[PeaveyFury]

Yep, Weeks is also in the set.

For the record, that might be the coolest thing I've seen in a long time with regards to baseball cards.

[bobbledude25]

you guys are right. I forgot about weeks, his prices are way to high though

[Paul77]

Yeah I know. I can't afford to do that now anyway. It just looks so cool. I've got the "S", that will hold me over while I troll the card shows.

[PeaveyFury]

Weeks is high because it has a print run of only 100.

 

I can't even imagine the demand for the Pujols set at a 5 PR.

[jason21nl]

doing a quick search on ebay....the letter J on pujols is going for $305 with 21 hrs left....

 

these things might be cool....but not $300 cool.

[PeaveyFury]

If you were a Cards fan with disposable income, you'd probably feel differently. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

 

Not to mention that Cards fans also get a 4 PR for Carpenter.

[BrewCrewForever]

Those Pujols and Carpenter ones would have to go for a ton of $$$$.

[bobbledude25]

$300 per letter for Pujols? Wow, I feel lucky. Imagine how much my set will go up if Sheets stays healthy and wins NL Cy Young? Doubtful, but hey it could happen

[BrewCrewForever]

bobbledude, there is no doubt Sheeter could win the cy young. It's just a matter of him staying healthy the whole year to do so. And if he does, you are gonna have a mint on your hands.

[PeaveyFury]

Do they actually have two sets of 250 for the double letters (ie, the 's' and 'e' in Sheets), or are their just 250 of the 's' all together?

[bobbledude25]

I'm pretty sure its just /250 all together

[PeaveyFury]

Bobbledude- What card holder have you found works best and looks nicest for these cards? I just got one and it's just in a plastic sleeve. Thanks for your help!

[bobbledude25]

Peavy - I dont really know how to describe it but the best one is the card holder where there are two pieces - a bottom and a top. the card fits perfectly into the bottom and top just snaps on. Hope that helped

[zingsheim]

I have every single Hall auto card - like 25 or 30 of them, but it would take way to much work to post them all up here. He's really the only one I collect though.

[BrewCrewForever]

zingsheim, what Hall rookies do you have? I have seen rc in 2001 and 2002 for Hall. What is his best rc?

[BrewCrewForever]

Like are the 2001's XRC's?

[PeaveyFury]

Thanks, I think I know what you're talking about.

 

Not sure if it was this thread that had an influence, but the cards for the three Brewer sets have been going for 25-30 bucks a piece the last week or so. I'd imagine a few people here have taken an interest as well, so we're probably driving up the price on the things. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

[zingsheim]

I can't remember the exact name of his best rc, but the one I know of that is quite a bit of money is the Rookies and Stars auto from 2002, I think it's currently like $35. The 2002 authentic autographs is also about the same price also from 2002.

[BrewCrewForever]

Yeah those are two nice cards. I have seen like two different cards from 2001 of Billy on ebay. I just can't remember what brands they are. I think the 2002 cards are rc's and the 2001 cards are xrc's?

[PeaveyFury]

What in the world is going on with this auction?

[jason21nl]

peavey, you're lovin the By the Letters cards aren't you?

[PeaveyFury]

Why do you ask?

[jason21nl]

ohhh, it just seems you don't come to the trading post very often..but have a bunch of posts in this thread....they are very sweet cards

[PeaveyFury]

Yeah, I've picked up a few over the last two/three weeks, and they're absolutely fantastic looking in person. Pretty cool concept.

 

And $66 for that Gywnn 'G' is just absurd.

[pitchleague]

okay, I didn't even know about these "By the Letter" cards. Of course, I haven't really looked at buying cards for a while and since there is no card shop in town, I'm stuck with whatever Walmart or Kmart puts out on their shelves.

 

Of course, if I did have a card shop in town, I'd be broke. Or living in a cardboard house of commons. Probably both.
