Here’s a few more to share.

Golds...

A few of my favorite low numbered XRC/RC...

Pink Topps Chrome Rookie Auto /5 is at PSA currently. Was a BGS true gem + but had a 9 auto. Trying to get it to a PSA 10.

Wow! Very nice collection!

texmcpherson · 08-13-2020, 02:40 PM

Oh man, have I wanted a 13' Heritage Auto...

eldustino · 08-13-2020, 02:42 PM

I collect Nolan hard, 2013US -- Current. I'm only missing sapphire from 2013US and wish I wouldn't have been so 'cheap' when some popped up a few years ago. 10s of Base / Base chrome / Emerald / Camo ... 9s of Black Chrome / Gold paper / Pink / Red and 8s of Black / Gold Chrome / Blue

All but the black chrome were bought rock bottom <$20 each back when they first came out.

Prove it.

I just want to see them. Lol

Honestly, who has been more consistent at a superstar/franchise player level. He plays 155 every year, hits at least 35 dingers and drives in 120 and produces the best defensive compilation reel every year

Wow, this thread heated-up quickly!

Some of these cards I've never seen before. And it's great that so many were purchased at rock bottom. The cost of starting a Nado collection today is considerably higher.

Saw the emerald green raw go for like $75-80 on ebay auction and thought "why is he so cheap"??

espnfanco · 08-14-2020, 04:52 PM

Love seeing the Arenado cards!!! I collected a few when he was a rookie but stopped. Oops! One of my biggest regrets in the hobby. At least I get to enjoy seeing him at Coors. In my profile pic I have his bowman chrome auto red refractor rookie. NFT/NFS at the savings deposit box.

That's a monster and might just pay for a house one day!

So true... no one can truly appreciate his efforts until you watch him. Almost every game he does an amazing play and/or has a good offensive day. I can't think of a better 3bman in history if he continues to stay healthy and produce like he has been each year.

I put this in the August pickup thread, but it belongs here.

Love Nolan. Special player. Don't have a stash but I got lucky years ago and got this.

thfc1987 · 08-15-2020, 12:29 AM

This thread is long overdue. I'll add some of mine when I get home, but I don't have anything as impressive as some of you. I am, sadly, that cheap Rockies fan the guy on page 1 was talking about. Nolan is my favorite Rockie, but it's hard for me to pull the trigger on one Nolan when I could get five Storys for the same price. I'll learn someday.

rngrdanny22 · 08-21-2020, 01:55 PM

We can't let this thread die!

Nolan's average this year isn't looking too hot, but there are TONS of bright sides in the numbers:

1. He has only K'd 7 times in 94 AB's -- incredible!
2. His BABIP is only .181 -- 120 basis points below his career BABIP!!
3. Increased both Launch Angle and Barrel %

Watching most AB's, I've noticed he's out in front a lot and has popped out quite a bit (as represented by the increased Launch Angle). It seems he's one small tweak from a hot streak. With Chuck batting in front of him, he should be leading the league in RBI's right now. Hopefully we see that hot stretch begin this weekend.

corockies · 08-21-2020, 02:28 PM

I wonder if the owner of the 2016 Update AS Arenado SSSP Truck hangs around Blowout... I still believe that card is a 1/1, have never seen any other copies.

(Not my card, I kept a picture of it.)

rngrdanny22 · 08-21-2020, 02:32 PM

I've never even seen that card...

It's the main reason why I never tried for an SP flagship run of Arenado - I knew that Truck card would leave a big hole in the collection.

Mookie Betts had one similar to it - not sure if there's been multiple copies of it or not.

Great looking cards! I Always thought he had a very good shot at becoming a future HOFer!
