I tip my hat to those that are constantly try to find and report on fakes.  Gellman from SCU is one major player that tries to educate.

In doing my normal exhaustive search for Masterpieces I came upon this thread at Freedom Card Board.  Fin…

It’s all over but the shipping.  I started out to collecting the Masterpieces framed sets for many reasons.  Nobody else was really collecting them, they were cheap, there was nothing else to really collect and of course proof on concept or l…

The history of the 2008 Upper Deck Masterpieces Football Burgundy /25 set.  I didn’t seriously collect this set because I figured that such a thing was impossible.  I had a few of these cards, picked up a couple on ebay, 1 or so per case, som…

A few days back I completed my 2007 Upper Deck Masterpieces Pinot /75 set when Chutley magically appeared on COMC.  Last Sunday I noted an auction that appeared that purported to be a Blue Steel Gehrig /50.  So I emailed the seller to find ou…

Sometimes I feel like I am cheating when I complete sets using Comc or Ebay, but with 2007 Masterpieces and having busted 26 1/2 cases I don’t feel that way at all.  here is why.  You get 5-7 pinots per case.  Even at the low end that is…

As I said in my last post, I purchased a large collection of Masterpieces Football parallels and patches sight unseen.  I paid the big bucks but it was worth it.  Here are the highlights.  If any of you know where any of the last 50…

Don’t try this at home kids. I am 21 cases in and I have bought more singles than should be allowed by law. Here is what I picked up for $110. Remember, these are /50.  Apparently these two guys were trying to build these sets and decided to stop….

Everything but the serial numbered parallels are for sale.  The Frank Thomas auto in the set is rumored to be the rarest of all.  I have never actually seen one.  I had to settle for the plate:

Oher was the last.  The set was pretty difficult to put together but certainly not impossible.  Some dude on ebay is trying to sell a set.  He started out at $999 and is down to $699. I’s only 23 cards as two players apparently didn’t si…

No parallels I needed. Not a bad case but I do prefer my 1/1 to be a parallel and not a jersey or a plate. If you are interested in a non parallel send me an offer.

Lots of good autos, a so so 1/1 and a bad case of parallels.  Nothing I needed.  There was a case broken on the blowout boards yesterday and they didn’t pull anything I needed either.  Case 18 will be here tomorrow.  Yeah, I need th…

Nothing too exciting.  Note the collation of the parallels. Oh and that Jamal Lewis auto is a tough pull. Masterpieces football is a huge loser in terms of resale.  I probably wont even get $100 for the 6 autos the 12 jerseys, and sp’s.&…
