Happy New Year! Some Elway dupes

Happy New Year one and all, may 2014 be far better than the last!

I recently scanned 91 pages of John Elway doubles (or ten) that I have. I will be showing a few pages here today. The first 6 pages are random dupes that were just laying in a stack. Scans 7 thru 90 are from 1984 and thereafter in order until scan 91, random stuff again. Don't worry, not putting them all in 1 post, but will be posting 7 at a time. All of these cards are available for trade, so hit me up    jfmjr1@aol.com


The above scan has 2 really nice inserts, the 1995 Ultra gold medallion and the 1995 classic Sculpted. The ultra books for slightly more than the Sculpted but I the Sculpted is just cooler.

Nothing special below just some base cards


In the below scan we have 1 insert, the last card. 1999 Donruss Elite (Acetate) Field of Vision card serial numbered #430/871.

Below we have several nice cards, at least 6.



Scan 5 (below)  not a whole lot here.

The 1985 topps card at the top is NM whereas the the 2 at the bottom are barely making the good grade, but hey they can be fillers for someone, right?


Yes that is a 2012 Andrew Luck paired up with Elway, but I like the 1984 7-eleven disc the best here.

 With the final scan of this post, I will choose the 1988 Kenner Starting line up card. On top of being their first year issue, it just plain ole looks the best.

THE 2014 GOALS

THIS BLOG AND MY COLLECTING GOALS FOR 2014.

THIS BLOG WILL BE MORE ACTIVE AT LEAST TWICE A WEEK, AND WILL CONTAIN PICTURES, LOTS OF PICTURES!

AS FOR COLLECTING, SIMPLY PUT TO GET AS MANY NEEDED ELWAYS AS I CAN, OF COURSE STILL HAVEN'T HIT THE MILESTONE OF 1500 UNIQUE, BUT THAT SHOULD BE A BREEZE IN 2014.

SEE YOU A LITTLE OVER A WEEK.

This is just a TEST to try and post a pic of cards.





i still havent been able to change the setting on my scanner to only show the cards, instead of the entire flatbed.







These are no longer in existence. I opened them as noted in a previous post.


I got three of these, the dark blue, this red one, and a whole complete carton (less the milk)

I think I ve got the adding pics, now to work on the scanner

much better start this month

The Elways' are definitely off to a better start in December than the last few months. 5 Days in and thus far have traded for 5 new editions to the collection (will be 1351). Now to just get them in. I hope that this trend continues and maybe, just maybe have a chance at the 1500 mark that i set at the beginning of the year.
A couple of trips to the local flea market and  to a card shop certainly can't hurt. We'll see what the weekend brings.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE More John Elway

Yes Please, may I have some Elway cardboard.

I tried very hard to focus on adding to the SUPER COLLECTION but November only brought 17 new additions of unique Elway cards. I was able to add a couple of oddball items, a book, and a vintage mag cover. My goal is still to hit that infamous 1500 by years end, although it now seems improbable, but still possible.

I now have 1346 unique Elway cards, only 4400 more to obtain (apx). I am begging now, please let go of those Elways cards, you don't really want them, LOL.

Most of the cards I need are not high end, most that is. Of course there is overwhelming number of 1/1s out there. I feel blessed to have as many of them as I already do, including the proof from the Topps vault that was added in November. I need a tremendous amount of base cards from the last decade. I have my Elway needs listed in "my organize" on the Beckett website. It's free to check it out so please please please do.

My user id is   jfmjr1. I have a lot of cards available to trade, especially baseball, and vintage too. I just dumped about 8,000 basketball, just kidding I traded them for half of the Elways I got in November plus some really cool vintage (50s) Braves cards.

email me  jfmjr1@aol.com..     check out a not so updated Elway want list here:

BOO! More like (Boo Hoo)

Well, Halloween has passed and no I didn't even have 1 piece of candy. But, more importantly another month of trading cards has also passed. The month started out slow and finished that way as well hence the boo hoo.

I did manage to close on 63 deals, which most were for my Atlanta Braves collectionS (there are 2), but I did squeeze in a few Elway cards as I mentioned in a previous post several of which were (and still are) SP cards that are awesome.

I needed to make a few trades to get a card or two that took away from my PC, but did it.

We finished October with The Super Collection for John Elway standing at 1329 unique cards (along way from the 1400 that I had hope to hit), with 900 + dupes (489 uniques dupes), 21 figures, 16 plates, 34 magazine covers (2 vintage dupes).

I so bad want to hit 1500 unique Elway cards before the end of this year, as always please lmk if you have any that you are willing to part with. I need over 3,400 ( a lot of newer base cards ) obviously 1/1s and some inserts.
