Re: O/T: With all the craziness happening around UPPERDECK, should I be worried about the game used I purchase

Will have to go through the boxes in the basement.

I am one of those - I dont display my stuff.

If you can see how I bundle my bats in the corner of a room, this entire forum will goes nuts!


(Used to display stuff, until the dust get in the way and I have to clean them and so forth. Dont have time for that! Too busy looking for new stuff)

So you can store it in your basement?

I think you might be missing out on the joy of collecting a bit my friend?

"Vic Fanatic" is actually your name? Wow, what a fun name for a sports fan! I'd love to see your LeBron and Kobe, as well.

I know Reid.

Vic joined on Feb 3rd and has averaged 25 posts his first 3+ days. Now he hasn't posted in 5+ hours.

Obviously the joke is on us because now we aren't worthy.

He collects all things Yankees, and the top basketball players and legendary QBs and goes to get his game used at UDA where that quartet of game used jerseys would be around $50,000 (Retail).

The last LeBron and Kobe game used UDA jerseys I was offered were over $15,000 each for the '08/'09 season.

Reid, what do you value that quartet of game used jerseys at?

Got to have a life too... cant be hanging out on GUU all day ... some one here already told I post too much... so I slow down!


1. Fri-Sun ... MY time ... it's 3-days poker and just happened to be Super Bowl, so there is more gambling going on!

2. I love to pick stuff up with the extra$ or whenever I have a decent game of poker. I enjoy it for the first couple days - laying them out and just walk by and look at them. Then look at them again at a different angle... and just leave them at that until I decide enough is enough!

3. I tried not to display my stuff since I dont want to give others - who is NOT in the hobby as much as I am. 8 out of 10, think I have an ADDICTION that need to be fixed or counseled. I love these stuff. If I get stranded on an island ... I will want all my collectible with me and a couple fishing rods.... got to eat you know!

4. Most of my stuff are in the basement. All box up if they need to be away from the sun. Learn that lesson hard - about 20 signed balls got ruined because of it (there is UV protected cubes back then).


5. I should itemized my stuff ... but damn, where do I start? Going by the sports? or go by what i think it's worth? Now that will take freaking months to figure out!



(on my break from poker and do a quick reply)

Genke - I would hope not and you forgot your 3 smiley faces!


By the way, Vic says he doesn't sell and does trades so he doesn't consider himself a dealer. He collects all things Yankees especially ARod and Jeter, Russian Ovechkin hockey jersey, Marino, Montana, HR Derby baseballs, Kobe, LeBron, and of course 15 to 20 Yankees Stadium HR balls.

His diversity in collecting is astounding although I commend him for collecting all 4 Major Sports and the greatest in their respective sports except he didn't mention Michael Jordan.

I for one would love to talk to Vic to see if I can get a few of those HR baseballs in trade!

So Vic, if you aren't gambling now-----send me an email!

I dont collect Jordan for one reason - cant afford it. I dont want to bank on one Jordan when I can bank on 2-3 others.

Not the type that put all the eggs in one basket.


As for the pictures requests - wondering why they are so much in demand to see what I have ? I know what I have in my collection. I know what I can get for them when NEEDED.

I know I dont want to display my stuff because I dont want to.

(for your information - I have met couple GUU members already. Will not saying the event and so forth but I can tell you this much .... I spend as much as you do if NOT more .... )


And oh, what is up with people stealing other members' picture and posting on other forums and eB.. stuff? I dont know...

Just too funny!

Sure!

What you are looking for? Which player? or which team if you dont really care about the player?

As for THOME request, I dont have one.

And since we are trading HR Balls, what do you have for trade?


I am looking for game used balls from Texas Rangers (with MLB Hologram of course) and I am also looking for WS baseballs preferred brand new in box (hopefully it is more than 5 together - not single ball of course.)

Still searching for Rawlings Clemente Day Ball (my got all tone up from displaying so I am looking for a replacement)


Opening day in Japan and China are the others I am looking for also.

Let me know which game you want. I will check against what I have.


As for paying ... we are not going that route since ... we not going that route.


If anything, you send me blanks and I will ask my friends to transfer over and you just pay for the postage.

And oh, there are no HD stuff because they dont make any of those recordable media for decent price yet. Recording devices and medias cost an arm and leg and not to mention the softward for it also.



And before anyone goes nut and things getting out of hands ---- I FOUND THESE COPIES IN A SHOEBOX AT BLOCKBUSTER SOMEWHERE ...

Can you send me an email at my address below with a list of your HR balls. Did you catch any at the Nationals vs. Yankees series this past June?

Thanks.

PS - Everyone would love to see your UDA game used jerseys as they are super rare. Please Post them up especially since this thread started about Upper Deck.

When someone says they have such and such pieces, it is natural for us collectors to want to see the pics.

Another possibility could be, people want you to back up what you are saying.
To see if you are for real?
How many collectors do not display their collection?
