Well all know of the delays in requesting cards you've purchased from COMC.com and my order was no exception. I honestly can't remember when I requested shipping, but I remember that it took several months for the order to arrive...maybe 6 months? It didn't bother me too much since some of the cards sitting in my account had been sitting there for years in some cases! I love the service, but the prices aren't always great so I don't immediately think to use their services when searching for cards. However I was able to find some great deals on some hard to find a parallels of Rey.
At the time of this post I hadn't planned on scanning the cards as I thought I'd just "borrow" the card images from TCDB, however updating my collection I see that there are a lot of images missing that I can provide. I love the site so much that I feel obligated to help so I guess I know what my Sunday afternoon project is going to be this week!
It's getting harder and harder to find the cards I still need for my PC. I'm down to some very low numbered cards and HTF non-numbered parallels like his 1996 Pinnacle Certified Mirror Gold. I've got saved eBay searches in place to help. I've also got my eye on a few cards of his that I need...but I need to move some various items first to free up the $. Thankfully I'm not actively searching his 1/1 cards and will consider my super PC complete without those. Then again, if I ran across a 1/1 at the right price I probably wouldn't say no either.
I thought you had a blog specific to all things Ordonez? Nice video though
ReplyDeleteI do...but I haven't updated it in over 3 years!? I need to get back to doing updates. I'm going to re-organize my whole binder with new Ultra Pro Platinum pages soon so perhaps that'll spur me into updating the long dormant blog again.
DeleteI hear ya about missing a guy's base card, because the focus on the parallels and inserts. The Baerga charity event card sounds cool. I'm interested in seeing who else made the checklist.
ReplyDeleteAll of the 90's parallels and inserts are awesome... I especially love the Mirror Red, Pinnacle Inside Diamond Collection, and the SC Patent Leather insert. I learned about that Stadium Club Member's Only issue a couple of years ago when I found the set/bind at the flea market. If you want to learn more about them here's a link:

Thanks Fuji, I'll have to educate myself!!
DeleteThat was pretty awesome group! And I really need to get one of those light boxes.
ReplyDeleteI have a big one since I mainly use it for toy photography. I've thought about getting one of those smaller light boxes, but I think I can tweek what I have and make it work.
