Damn Tanner that is a lot of cards. My wife would kill me if I filled our house with cards like that. I bought 100,000 a couple weeks ago and she had a serious hissy fit.

I didn't know you collected print errors so from now on I will check my Canseco cards for you.

The local shop I go to when I can was moving, and about the same time I asked about whether they had commons that were accessible (Many places bury them so far behind other stuff that it takes a lot of luck and a few requests to get at them)
The answer---"Not anymore, with the move coming up we offloaded about 2 1/2 million cards we had upstairs"


Interesting that you collect Canseco. The last card I needed for the 88T set was Canseco. Since it had fallen into the "not a common but not worth enough to have in the display case" category it took me 2 years to find one.

Thanks for the comments guys! I'm new here, of course - this is my first recreational article I've posted here - much appreciated

I may have missed it, but approximately how many Conseco cards do you think you have? That is quite some dedication to one player. I admire that!

You need to post that "fake' Canseco appearance story.

That was a classic

Will do - but I'm blaming you!

I like your sense of humor; welcome to the boards. My first cards were '87 Topps looking for Canseco and McGwire and then I probably bought two boxes of '88 Topps. Bleh. What a boring set.
Was fun watching the Bash Brothers while it lasted.

Thanks! I am right at a little over 2,750 different at the moment.
