Unveiling a New Player Collection

Quick post… I am considering a new player collection; I am actually considering a few of them. I will slowly unveil them. One player that I am certain that I would like to collect completely is former Devil Rays third baseman and current Rays minor league coach Jared Sandberg. Sandberg came up at a time when the D-Rays were the doormat of the league. He never fulfilled expectations of being an All Star, but he was a solid third baseman with some pop who was rushed to the big league level. He represented hope for the organization and he was a fan favorite and a very fan friendly player. He reads the blogs that we write and that makes him all right with me. I just got my first Jared Sandberg relic in the mail today. I received this 1998 Team Best rookie card in the mail a few weeks back. Does anyone know how or where I could get a list showing every card made of Sandberg? That’s all for now… Go Rays! Troll out.

  2. If you want I could e-mail you a list from Beckett. I'd do it now, but their site is down. Not sure if that helps...

  3. I'd recommend OpenChecklist.com if their site was working it's been giving out error messages for a few months now and they haven't done an update in close to 6 months so maybe the site is kaput. Tradingcarddb.com is another site you can get a list but not complete by no means. I'd take Madding up on his offer.

  4. He was in Durham for a while (2000-05) and I had a lot of fun watching those teams. I'll see what I can dig up for you!

  5. I wish that I could help you on that one, but Jared played when I wasn't collecting. I think that the card you sent me is probably the only card I have of him.

    As for finding a checklist, just try beckett.com.

  6. If anyone could e-mail me a list from Beckett, that would be awesome! I am not smart enough to figure out how to use their site and I did try...
