Thats amazing.
Well done to the bloke but it cost him $15,000 to do so? Wow, thats dedication.

top effort.

now sell the collection and he will make his money back plus some and he gets to meet Derek Jeter at the new Yankee Stadium.

I have two cards out of that set.. You better believe I am not giving them up. I even have one of the many Jeters in the set. The other is Paul O'Neill.

This guy to me is a true card collector and I think he should get a write up in SI or Becketts and follow the whole story till he meets Jeter.

Out of sight!

That's a pretty impressive effort.

Given the impressive prize at stake, it was only a matter of time before some people filled out the set. Massive amount of work though, the collation of that many cards would be a nightmare! UD staff having to check that they are all there...another nightmare job!

not a fan of baseball cards, but I must say a set with over 6000 cards, DAMN that is a good effort colleting them all.

Well done to him.
