Finally after 23 years, I have a complete and updated checklist thanks to a buddy of mine for hooking me up with it.
Now it's time to highlight all that I have, so I know what I need. Also so it will help me from getting repeats as I have done a couple of times this year. It gets harder and harder to remember after you hit a certain number.
With over 16,000 cards for Ken and I only having 830 or so, I know there are plenty of needs but at least now I will know for sure which ones.
While I work on the highlighting project, something I expect will take me a couple of months, I have put up a Griffey Want List tab on top of the blog of the current cards I want the most. Go check it out if you haven't yet, HERE.
I will keep you all updated in 2017 on how the highlighting is going while also adding new wants to the want list as I go. So if you have been an ongoing trader with me, it will give you an idea of what my top wants are. I am only putting down ones I think are reasonable to trade/acquire.
Hope everyone has a great rest of the week and thanks for stopping by!

TOP WANT LIST CARD: ACCOMPLISHED
I DID IT! I landed probably the toughest card off from my Want List up til now. A card that is both rare and a piece of sport card history. I landed the first ever produced Game Jersey card. I FINALLY landed a 1996 Upper Deck Game Jersey Card. On an even bigger note, I landed it for under $25.
Now the player on the card isn't the best off the checklist, actually he is the worst, but that isn't the principle of it. I now own a piece of cardboard history. The very first jersey card. The card that fell at an incredible 1:2600 packs. The one that has eluded me, especially because of the price it cost. But, now it's mine. I got an eBay steal and it's mine. My patience of waiting on the card to end paid off.
I hope you guys enjoy my celebration moment as much as I do. Here it is in all it's glory! Yes, even though it's Rashaan Salaam!
Back of the card. I like how it actually states..THE FIRST EVER game worn jersey card....just awesome.
Try not get too attached. This bad boy isn't going anywhere.
I still am in awe that I was able to pick up one of these. My hands were shaking when it arrived in the mail. I know many 90's collectors who I will be the envy of over this card.
So I gotta ask, do you envy me over this card? What are your thoughts on this card? Do you consider it a piece of cardboard history? Let's hear it!
