2018 Topps Update All-Star Stitches Gold 1/1 - Edwin Diaz

Miraculously no one bid against me on this, so picked it up for what I felt was a really good deal. Always gonna have a special place for Diaz, just a super cool guy that I still miss.

1998 Pinnacle Certified Mirror Red Jay Buhner

Was never sure I'd be able to track one of these down, but I was able to pick up 80 or so Buhners I needed, including some big ones such as this.

Safeco Field/T-Mobile Park Left-Centerfield Panels - Game Used from
7/15/1999-9/29/2024

So while the team said these have been there the whole time, this doesn't tell me where they pieces were before the dimensions were shortened in 2013, but safe to say these panels saw some great plays.

Also sorry for the weird pic...these are literally shoved in the corner of my bedroom right now, pending finding some way to fit them anywhere else in the house. These are 8' tall and my basement (where the collection lives) very much is not.

2024 Bowman Draft Autographs Gold Shimmer Refractor Ben Williamson /50

I normally don't buy into a lot of Bowman breaks because prospecting isn't my jam. However one I got into last year yielded the Aidan Smith Gold Shimmer auto. I had an opportunity a while later to grab this for cheap and thought that'd make a cool pair. Little did I know then what a surprise he'd be this season.

2022 Topps Sketches Jake Bauers 1/1 - Drawn by @dastickjr.ted

I can't say I expected to find a sketch card of a Mariner that played a half season of -0.2 WAR. But here we are, adding this piece, with what I have to say is a style I do quite like, to my wall of artwork in the office.

Stadium Giveaway - April 7th, 1983 - Sponsored by KISW and Moosehead Beer

One of my favorite pieces I've picked up this year. It was common in the 70's and 80's for teams to put out a "Beat the Yankees" Hanky. Haven't found any that we're quite to the point as ours though.

2024 Topps Rounding the Bases Cal Raleigh

Contains game-used base from Game 2 of the AL Wild Card Series on 10/8/22 @ Toronto.

This will always be a memorable game to me because of the watch party at the stadium. Made a ton of friends, took part in the famous rally shoe, and prepared for the first playoff game in Seattle in decades.

Third Base - Mariners vs. Dodgers, June 8, 2012. Combined No-Hitter, signed by Kevin Millwood and Charlie Furbush⁠
⁠
Decided it was time to start showing off more non-card stuff, so here you go. Bought this from the Game Used stand at the ballpark for a ridiculously low price and have slowly been working on getting all six pitchers to sign it.⁠

1998 Donruss Signature Preview Dan Wilson

I still can't believe it's finally happened. 26 years ago I swore I would track down a copy of this card, even though it was originally thought there might only be two copies. Even during my decade or so out of the hobby, I left this one saved search on ebay. I've lost out on three over the years, even when putting in what I thought were shock and awe type bids. My excitement level is through the roof.

1999 Ultimate Victory 'Ultimate Victory Collection' 1/1 - Freddy Garcia

Any day finding an early 1/1 is a great day. This had been sitting in someone's safe for nearly 25 years, after they bought it from the person who pulled it. Got posted on FB Marketplace, a friend saw it and pinged me, and I got a deal done shortly after. He even threw in the /100 version.

2001 Topps Gold Label Class 2 Masterpiece 1/1 Kazuhiro Sasaki

Well, here is one that came out of nowhere. It's often hard to find old 1/1's, and this is a perfect example of why. It had been sitting in somebody's collection since they pulled it 23 years ago and was forgotten about. That collection got offloaded on FB marketplace and was purchased by someone who doesn't know baseball but collects other cards casually. They posted about it in a random FB card group, and I got tagged as a potential buyer.

What a community. And now it's in its forever home.

1996 Pinnacle Skylines Ken Griffey Jr.⁠
⁠
This is one of those cards I always desperately wanted but consistently lost out on, and the price kept going up and up. Finally last fall I stumbled upon a low-grade (SGC 6.5) copy for a ridiculously low price. I snatched it up, freed it from its prison, and realized it only had a low grade because nobody wiped the cloudiness off before submitting it. Afterwards, it was like a whole new card.⁠

1996 Select Certified Mirror Gold Jay Buhner⁠
⁠
This set has been one of the glaring holes in my collection as I didn't have a single one of the seven Mariners, but that has now been fixed. And as much as I abhor grading and often crack ones I end up with, even I can't break out a card this important when there are no 10's.⁠

1997 SPx Bound For Glory Supreme Signatures Ken Griffey Jr. /250

So this card came up in a conversation about 'pulling the exact card you were after.' It was 1997 and my LCS had just gotten these in. Die-cut and holograms? I was wildly excited. But $5 a pack for 4 cards...oooh boy that was rough. Well what the hell, I'll buy one pack and pray I hit a Griffey Grand Finale or Bound for Glory Auto. This might be the only time I've ever truly willed something into existence.

I firmly believe these are the best part of Topps Heritage. Just absolutely gorgeous paired with the old designs. And just managed to pick one up of one of my all-time favorite Mariners!

Also sorry for the long hiatus. Most of the collection was in storage for six months while I moved into a new place. I'll work on making up for lost time.

In celebration of the Mariners first Postseason berth in a couple decades, I bring you the centerpiece of my collection. This is a champagne bottle from the locker room celebration when we won the one-game playoff VS. the Angels in 1995. And it is signed by almost the entire roster and coaching staff. It was originally owned by outfielder and member of that incredible team, Alex Diaz.

2022 Bowman ROY Favorites Mega Box Black Mojo Refractor - Cal Raleigh 1/1⁠
⁠
It is said the smart way to start a rainbow is to get the 1/1 out of the way first. In most cases I think the assumption is you have the base out of the way. I did not. Thankfully now I'm down to just needing the Red, though I am trying to find the non-mojo versions, which are a different image and therefore a different rainbow.⁠

1993 Finest Refractor - Randy Johnson⁠
⁠
The last one I needed for my team set. Except for Griffey of course. But I like having a place to live, so that will have to wait.⁠

1997 Topps Mint - Ken Griffey Jr.⁠
⁠
Nothing like a card from a set that shouldn't exist. A prototype set for what would become 1998 Topps Stars 'n' Steel, since Mint was a name in use by Pinnacle already.⁠

2021 Topps Chrome Platinum Anniversary Autographs Orange Refractor - Jay Buhner /25⁠
⁠
I have gone hard on the non-auto team set of these. Griffey is as always, expensive, but almost everyone else is doable. Buhner has been shockingly hard though...lot of competition.⁠

2020 Topps Heritage Chrome Superfractor - Marco Gonzales 1/1⁠
⁠
I'm a sucker for all superfractors (have 71 as of this post), but Heritage are just a particular kind of special. And Marco is one of my favorites, so this was a must have.⁠

Time to finally get back in to the swing of things and post regularly. Gonna schedule things and everything. So let's get started with this beauty.

2022 Topps Archives Signature Retired Series - 2001 Finest - Rickey Henderson 1/1

Figured it was finally time to add an auto of the Man of Steal and it was a doozie.

2021 Topps Update Memorial Day Camo Logan Gilbert 1/25

More than just a great pickup via trade, this card marks a milestone. This beauty was my 40,000th different Mariners card. Now it's 50k or bust. Who out there wants to help me?

2019 Bowman's Best Autographs Blue Refractor - Julio Rodriguez /150

I don't do much prospecting but I got lucky and hit this in a break a couple years ago. And since it is @jrodshow44 birthday today, it seemed like a good time to post it.

the cards

nearly as old as the national pastime itself, collecting baseball cards is part of the fabric of being a fan.

memorabilia

from cards you go deeper, a poster on the wall, stickers on your notebook, t-shirts and hats. Then one day you find you need more...bats, balls, jerseys
