While climbing uphill on the treadmill I was trying to figure out what happened to my card collecting in 2001 that I don't have all Pujols' rookie cards already, and then it hit me. I didn't really buy any cards in 2001-2002 when I was in college. I was so busy doing other things I guess I took a break, and realized it now. Way to go Marie! Way to stop collecting in what is now the most expensive year of Pujols' cards.I am currently working on filling in all 2002 gaps since I can't afford to buy all his rookie cards now. I have his 2001 Bowman card, only because I bought the whole set on eBay for $60, took out that one card and never looked at the rest.
I picked up a great number of his earlier cards on eBay over the weekend which was great. There is nothing better than opening a bubble mailer full of Pujols cards to log in and put in my binder.
I am hoping one of our readers out there would be willing to part with a card or two and I will do my best to get you some cards that you will enjoy equally.
Are you just looking for base and inserts, or do you collect Patches & Autos as well?
ReplyDeleteYou should have an Utley rookie in that 2001 Bowman set too.
ReplyDeleteWell, I don't have anything close to the value of his RC AU, but I collect everything. I usually try to pick up the GU cards more so than the auto's. I only have one auto so far, thanks to Sooz. It's my favorite card.
