2 days and no new Canseco cards yet :/ C'mon folks! Let me know what ya got!

[mouschi3]

First of all, THANK YOU to @rngrdanny22 for hooking me up with a FREE 1988 Topps rack pack showing Canseco/McGwire. You rock!

In the past 2 days, I've gotten 2 really great cards.

The first: 1997 SPX Grand Finale # to 50. This is impossible to find. Actually, it is the only one I've seen before of Canseco. If there is one thing I have learned, it is that cards #'ed to 50 from the 90's can sometimes be ridiculous to track down.


The next is one of my favorites! A 2014 A&G Double Rip Card of Canseco on one side and McGwire on the other. It is #'ed 2/5 and I thought I'd never get a chance to have one. I know where most all of the others are, and with 2 guys on the same card that are as highly sought after as Canseco & McGwire, I just thought it was hopeless.

Well, it came in!

I'm going to take a wild guess that you have no plans on ripping that rip card. Definitely awesome that you were able to get an unripped one.

I would probably order a scan of some sort on the card before I did any ripping!

awesome man congrats!!! I agree on tracking down those 90s lower numbered cards, can be impossible at times!!! Im trying to track down a few as well with pretty much no success, just keep trying i guess

Today, I mourn the loss of 3 great PC cards. No, I didn't spill milk on them, nor did I accidentally drop them in the toilet, admiring them while peeing.

After a week of going back and forth with a fellow Canseco super collector (Razor), I gave up 3 cards and cash in return for 6 cards. I will likely show them when they come in, but a fun little picture back & forth ensued that I thought I would share in the mean time.

In true James Bond fashion, he sent me pics to update how my package was sent out at around midnight last night.

Here is the package on the super cool motorcycle


Nice light up gauges


So blurry, he must be going, like, 200 mph!


Arrived at destination under the cover of night


One last look before "the pig is in the barn"


Mission accomplished


I figured I'd show off how his package made it on its way as well, just so I could match him.

After chowing down on the finest of vintage plateware from the "tickle me elmo" line, I packed and weighed the package.


Well, I had a lot to drink this morning...


Motorcyle? Nah. Minivan is how we do it here!


Rollin' slow style in the sub-div.


Must....resist....temptation....(I didn't get any at all!)


Picture of 50 year old woman's hand scanning the package (whom Razor thought was my hand.)


Looking forward to the incoming package, but sad I had to let go of some beauties! It was all for the "greater good" though, I guess

Very intrigued to see what the cards were you gave up and more so what new cards you added to your collection.

I will give up this much info right now:
I sent out a /5 and 2 /10's + cash for 4 /5's, a /15 and a /25. Canseco doesn't have the following that say, Griffey or Jeter do, but when you get down to the low #s like this, you can rest assured that each and every copy #'ed to 5 has gone to a hardcore collector who isn't likely going to give it up anytime soon! One of the /5's is one of my favorites from a design perspective, and I know where all 4 of the other copies are.

Oh ... and looking forward to hearing about the obaks you may have!

I haven't forgotten, just haven't gotten to that box yet. The unpacking in my office has been on and off. As soon as I find the box I will let you know if there are any low numbered Canseco's in it.
