Huge Derek Wake Pickup!!!!

marinocollector · 12-29-2020, 08:10 PM

Was afraid the COMC seller would cancel this one...
Absolutely love it. Might actually keep it, being the rarest version of his only RC...

If anyone doesn’t know, this is Cameron Wake.

Nice score! Wasn't there a huge Wake collector on here?

marinocollector · 12-29-2020, 09:40 PM

Yes. Many moons ago. I haven’t talked to him in 4 years. What sucks is I moved to the same state at the same time he stopped collecting so I never got to meet him.

WOW wow wow! You lucky son of a gun

Nice! I picked up a raw base last year. Didn’t realise there was a numbered version.

Yeah. There’s /150, /100, /50 and /15. It was one of the first sets of the year and not super popular so it is tough to find the numbered ones.

If you're a real Derek Wake fan,
then I assume you already have his Jogo and Extreme Sports CFL cards.

marinocollector · 12-30-2020, 10:20 AM

Nah. I’m a Fin Fan. And I appreciate Cameron. I have some sweet GU cards of his. A few rare parallels.
Still need to pickup an auto.

Okay I will bite. Am I missing something here?

What's the allure with Mr. Wake OP?

It's Cameron Wakes only RC. The base sells $60-100. This is the rarest version.
Derek Wake was cut by the Giants in the preseason of 2005.
After that, he joined a gym to workout and they mistakenly put his middle name in the gym membership, so Cameron stuck and Cameron went on to be a 2 time DPOY in the CFL.
So on the field Derek Wake was dead and only Cameron Wake reigned supreme.

Base is difficult to find. I have been waiting a while now for a psa 9 to hit ebay.

marinocollector · 12-30-2020, 09:20 PM

You’ll probably wait a long while. Only 2 psa 9 and 3 psa 10 graded.
They chip easily and have corner issues.

I picked up the Gold version /100 recently.

49erRCCollector · 09-13-2023, 12:52 PM

Amazing pick up. This is why I like being on the forum.

I have like 3 cards or so like this I just hope they surface/are available at some point.

I did get one of my similarly rare wants last year.

Was it the Julian Peterson card that doesn't exist?

I have that one. One of my favorites!

But, no, it was this - True base Willis Rookie, #'d to 15. For whatever reason the base was numbered to only 15 copies. Still can't believe I finally got it.

Three more white whales left.

Put them back in your sig, might help someone find you. I'd be pretty annoyed if I collected a guy and there was a base rookie #d to just 15, congrats on scoring one.

Great idea, I'm going to do just that.

Love the Wakes. I love truly rare stuff like that. That's what it is all about for me.
