*takes another sip for a celebratory post*
Four days in a row with posts, I know, I didn't expect this either. But, I took some time out to get this done and caught up. I hope you have your coffee and are enjoying this streak.

Today marks the day I hit 200 Amani Toomers, well, once I enter them on TCDB. Which I believe moves me up a few spots as well. But, I am still far from the top.
As always, when I get close to a milestone, I try to make the milestone card something cool.
Let's check it out.
My first pickup, card #196, was this 2002 Leaf Certified Fabric Of The Game. Remember when Jersey Cards were game worn?
Card #197 was this dual patch card from 2001 Titanium.
Card #198 is Score The Franchise which I landed for .38. You read that right.
I went a little bigger with card #199. This is a 1996 Ultra Sensations Rainbow parallel. Reportedly, the Rainbow cards were one percent of the total print run. I have never found the Rodney Hampton which is the only one I am missing.
And now Card #200....
2004 Absolute Memorabilia Ground Hoggs Game Used Shoe. As soon as I spotted this, I wanted it. And you can see the actual game used part of this.
And that's what I am talking about when it comes to a bigger card for the milestone.
I am also talking about this mornings cup of coffee which is spot on. Some days it is, others it is not.
*takes a sip before finishing up today's post*
I have since added a few more Toomers, so I will see where I am at and now am on the chase for 250. I will wait on adding the cooler card once I reach 300.
Thoughts on my milestone, the cards and what player milestone you are chasing next welcomed in comments.
Hope everyone has a great day.

Amani was definitely a Toomer as a college player did he really even attempt to playing a descent school if that can clearly say that they deserve to be called a University. Afterall where he attended can't say they won regular AP/UPI National Championship, a BCS Championship, & Lately that a College Tournament Championship instead they whine about their current Head coach is momma dressing up in Khakis pants no excuse of an institution & has only 3 Heisman Trophy winners saying they are the best puh-leaze get a clue Afterall his college colors were Corn & Bleah. Congrats on #200 Matt you have a better chance of getting #500 before his Alma mater wins any National Championship games in the future.
ReplyDeleteHaha! I hope to get to 250 next but 500 would be great
DeleteCongratulations on reaching the 200 milestone on your Toomer collection. I pretty much just go with the flow with my player and team collections... and since I don't have any of them in a database (outside of my Largent PC)... I don't really know how many of each I own. But every now and then I'll come up with a milestone and shoot for it. For example... there was a time when I wanted 19 certified pack pulled on-card autographs of Tony Gwynn and 24 Rickey Henderson autographs.
