First Set Finished and some more rare pieces

[wjrwebber]

The Ceballos has eluded me for some time now and when one finally popped up on the bay I couldn't pass it up. Don't worry, I didn't pay the price on the top loader either.... Big thanks to Greg on HK who helped ship the Ceballos and Okafor plate as they were US auctions only.

Now I'm pretty sure I have the very first completed set of 11/12 Past & Present Elusive Ink as there were two redemptions from the set that I got over the holidays. So here it is in its full glory!

Great looking set and a real good assortment of players - any of those really short printed? Seen plenty of some but not others....

That is a huge auto set, nice work.

I think some must be as I only saw some of these pop up a couple times on eBay. Finley, Mashburn, Manning, Hawkins, Elliott and Chapman for memory were all in this group. Decided to chase the set after I busted a box and then checked who was in the set and saw that there wasn't any players that would command big dollars and needed something to fill the void of my pc buying which had been slowly decreasing with less cards needed for my pc guys.

Mash was difficult to get for sure

Top work on finishing the set. I love seeing fully completed auto/insert sets, and this one is a ripper with many autos of guys who played just before the auto revolution really took off, so there are a few guys there who have stuff all autos out there to collect, and for me, many of these guys were the solid role players who I really appreciated when I first started watching bball.
