My Red Sox Mini Collection

[Jbjeeplj]

I thought I'd share some of my favorites/rarest/more interesting cards from my primary collecting focus, which is Red Sox mini cards and framed autos/relics. The collection started as just a small annual effort to collect the A&G-back mini team set, but slowly morphed into trying to collect as many mini variations and AU and GU from A&G, Gypsy Queen, Topps 205/206, DK, Golden Age, Goodwin, etc..

While my main focus is completely the more acquirable team sets each year, I also hunt down as many rarer variations as I can. Anyways, I will update this thread for fun whenever I get more to show.

ALWAYS interested in any Red Sox minis (esp. rarer ones).

NEW!
First off, some 1/1's (with my first Ginter wood mini)!

Some new Autos (the Beni is #/25), a Mookie EXT, and a Williams Obak Red #/5

Lastly, a couple new tobacco cards and some A&G X Red minis #/5






Silks /10

T206 Polar Bear Stahl, Uzit-back Hillenbrand (rare), Magician Fisk/9, *Awesome* Roddster custom Ortiz T206 (now one of my favorites)


T205 Stahl, and not quite a Red Sox, but have been trying for one of these Bradys for a while

Last but not least, some of my favorite tobacco cards. I've built a complete T206 Red Sox (Boston Americans) team set, but these 3 were the hardest to hunt down (the Speaker since he's HOF, the other two cause they are rarer variations). I wish I had more T205, but haven't put much time into that set.
