My 264 Collection

[Mr264]

Most have seen this elsewhere, but today was a milestone event, so I wanted to share here too.....

Well folks, today is the day we have all been waiting for.....it actually appears that we finally have sold our house.....:toot::toot:

Okay, that was just a bonus. Had to wait for the Realtor to leave before I could make a run to the Post Office. Something happened today, that I wasn't planning on happening until next Saturday....

I just want to thank a bunch of folks that have helped my SPx 264/ PC along the way. I didn't realize it was this many, but here are the folks and cards that added to my PC either through trades or freebies:

Added #262 to the PC, via a BIN.

2008 SPx Erin Henderson 264/299

This addition actually gives me 30.08% of all available unique players from the 2008 SPx set. My third year, breaking the 30% mark.









Can't recall of others, so I think #263 is the first "Mr Irrelevant" to the PC:

2010 SPx Tim Toone 264/599

Yep......:clapping::clapping: There is one more......:toot::toot:




















#264

Congratulations! Yours is one of my favorite collections to follow. What DPI do you scan on? The resolution on your pics is always amazing.

[TheBucsGuy]

Very impressive!!!

 

[bamasa37sb34]

Nice job. I wonder where you got your Justin Smiley from though op:

 

[lumm0x]

What made you start such a bizarre collection? I don't think I've ever seen someone collect just a certain serial number from a random assortment of players. Very nice accomplishment along the way though.

Really...

Well had to find something different and try to control my spending. I started off collecting 264/ everything. That got expensive, this was 2004-2005. I liked the looks of SPx, so that became my focus. I still pick up "variants" as well, being other product and sports. 264 is short for my birthdate 02-26-64.

I have been slacking, need to get this one updated. I am up to 279, now...

 

[Mr264]

...3 more to show....

I get a PM from jeffcayce asking if I need this....of course I need this...LOL. This is Saturday afternoon like 3 - 4 PM. We do a PWE trade and BAM...I get in the mail on Monday. Thanks, Jeff for #265.



2007 SPx Jonathan Wade 264/299 Makes 2 of 3 of the Wade parallels.

#266 comes by way of a member on blowouts. Member had busted some 2010 SPx and of course my usual question, "Do any of them start with seq # 264/". Received a PM from bigbensbff saying Yes, the one below does. We strike a deal and BAM. Thanks, Krup.

2010 SPx Ndamukong Suh 264/375

...and a bay purchase for #267

2010 SPx Jahvid Best 264/375

Numbers 269 and 270:

2010 SPx Mike Iupati 264/599

2010 Emmanuel Sanders 264/375

Addition #271 comes by way of a freebie (the best kind) from Beckett's one and only ricky williams 34. We have share freebie's back and forth, but this great.

Wendy, THANK YOU!

2010 SPx Arrelious Benn 264/375

As some of you may or not, I have been living in a hotel trying to move for the last 10 months. Today brings that to closure, as we are spending the first night in our new home in our new city. But, then again, since there was no respond to the update I made last month, maybe you don't. My time has been extremely limited for the hobby.

Anyways, we have basic functions here (internet and cable ). Thought I would update the recent three 264 additions to the PC, #s 272, 273 and 274 and then off to bed. Enjoy.....

2010 SPx Brandon LaFell 264/375

2007 SPx Jason Hill 264/599

2010 SPx Jordan Shipley 264/375

 

[Mr264]

I got blind-sided with #275.....

2009 SPx Michael Oher 264/399

Been in the house less than a week and the 264/s are a flowin'.....I found this one in a lot of 8 - 2008 Rookies. Did the whole annoying "Excuse me, but are any of these #d 264/xxx?" Got a positive affirmation, so here is #276

2008 SPx Jehuu Caulcrick 264/299

Now this next addition has a brother, that was addition #185.

2009 SPx Tony Fiammetta 264/799

The package, I recognized from San Francisco, CA. That crazy Brunell collector sent me a note:

Still waiting on a response to see how and where he located this without my knowing. Sometimes, I find them after the fact and stalk the winner until they relent. No such opportunity here...LOL

I present to you, addition #277:

2009 SPx Tony Fiammetta 264/399

Thanks a ton, Peter.

Found this is a lot of 8 - 2010 SPx rookies from the same seller that I bought the lot that held the Caulcrick addition...#278

2010 SPx Charles Brown 264/599

Back to back days of additions, nice! #279 is freebie style from younglover and her newly crossed eyes....

Thanks, MaryAnn

2009 SPx Calvin Johnson 264/349

Yea, that is where Peter found one. I usually check every few days, too.

 

[lumm0x]

Great additions. SPX always makes some nice cards.
