Let’s celebrate “worthless” PCs!!!

ScooterD · 09-15-2025, 05:43 PM

I know I’m not the only one who has a couple guilty pleasure collections that, while not worth much, are impressive and/or special.

Show’em if you got’em

awz50 · 09-15-2025, 05:51 PM

My entire Eduardo Rodriguez and Wade Miley collection

AnthonyCorona · 09-15-2025, 06:03 PM

I still buy Braden Bishop and Kyle Lewis!

JUP!

I just started this theme last week… so definitely an early work in progress. I’m going to chase auto cards of Orioles starting pitchers in the 2000s. I’m going to limit myself to spending COMC credit from sales through COMC to make it a little more challenging. Here is my early batch….

Jazz too good and has too much aura to be worthless.

Monetarily speaking he’s cheap and I’m hoping it stays that way

Since I grew up an A’s fan in the Bay Area.. back in 1988, I was a huge Walt Weiss when he won Rookie of the Year in 1988. I collected a lot of his cards then.. so when I see some of his rookie cards in a slab, I have a weak spot for them and occasionally buy them:

A 9? How much can a 10 be?

This 9 was centered well with good color

Buy the card.. not the grade

Not quite worthless but this dude's reputation has taken such a crazy hit since leaving DC (and for good reason).

That being said - I absolutely loved this guy when he was here. Just an amazing player, night in and night out for a half dozen years. Would've won a bunch of GGs as well if not for Arenado. He was amazing in October as well.

ThoseBackPages · 09-15-2025, 10:08 PM

oh man, he must be fun to collect now!

towerymt · 09-15-2025, 11:50 PM

(Topps Mini....not THE Platinum, still searching)

ThoseBackPages · 09-16-2025, 12:05 AM

what about beyond the first year parallels?

cjraleigh · 09-16-2025, 09:17 AM

I enjoy PCing this guy. Inching closer to a return from TJ, so optimistic for '26.

Meh. He pretty much went insta-dud. Discouraging. Lost interest. Then, regained some interest once the 99cent no-reserve auctions finally started to happen

Now I can fill in some RC-year gaps.

'19 Indy for $500? https://ebay.com/itm/254670455278

I bought one for $4.14

But you're right. I'll set some saved searches for auctions and see what I can snag

I've got a three ring binder, with almost 100 pages, full of nothing but Jason Giambi cards.
