Hello!

This is my first post, and I look forward to many more!

I used to be on the Beckett forums in another lifetime, perhaps 12 to 15 years ago....when I used to collect baseball, under the name "Orbsmith". Anyway, I am back, now married, 40 years old, and 2 young boys ages 2 and 7.

Recently, I tried the crazy (for me) idea of trying to compile the ENTIRE 2014 Turkey Red MASTER set, as follows:

- 100 Base Cards (COMPLETE)
- 78 BASE Autos ( I have 56 of 78)
- 100 Mini Cards (I have 67 of 100)
- 10 SSP Photo Variations (I have 5 of 10)
- (misc) I also have 1 Plate, and 4 Green Autos /10)

....I have a FIRM grasp on the 78 card base AUTO set, as I have at least one of ALL good rookies, except: Bortles, Garapalo, Savage, Davante Adams, Cooks (I have a Green /10 Cooks)

My MAIN reason for this post - I am having a HECK of a time compiling the 100-Card MINI parallel set. I need help!

I am looking to buy a lot of mini cards, and I can send you my master spreadsheet, as I am about 60 cards from the Complete MASTER Set!

If interested, I can trade or buy.

...I put a BUNCH of informative posts on another blog regarding my last 4 months with Turkey Red, and I will eventually transfer my observations to this post, if there is a demand for such information.

Thanks so much!

I see there is a new process, since I was here long, long ago. I will see about complying with the new process, and get my membership, etc...

Sorry, one more update from my own post....

I subscribed to ORGANIZE, and updated my spreadsheet of haves, needs, and duplicates available... Geez, took 2 hours to get them all in...Finally decided it was easier to print my excel spreadsheet, as I don't have 2 monitors at home to make it easier to transfer data!

By the way, after hundred of hours' research to this set, the auto cards fall into 4 tiers of SP status:

Level 1 - An embarrassment of riches:
Fales, West, Crowell, Clinton-Dix, etc...

Level 2 - Not Uncommon:
Van Noy, Mosley, Martavis Bryant, John Brown, Aaron Murray, AJ McCarron etc...

Level 3 - Painfully Difficult, but not impossible:
Watkins, Manziel, Jarvis Landry, Jordan Matthews, Devante Adams, Bridgewater, Ebron, Benjamin, Garoppolo, Allen Robinson

Level 4 - "SSSSP"
Aaron Donald, Brandin Cooks, Derek Carr, Blake Bortles, Tom Savage

...and The 8 SP Photo Variations not listed in Level 5

[Non-Auto Observation]
Level 5 - "Not Yet Seen on Ebay"
Tre Mason Photo Variation, Bishop Sankey Photo Variation
