Pressing Needs

After reading Night Owl's post about receiving a card he didn't know he needed, I thought I would revisit a set that I believed to be long completed.  As a child I had the peculiar habit of organizing team sets alphabetically by last name, instead of numerically.  I always had a good knowledge of the Braves' roster so I thought I knew what I was doing.  Now, when I have the time I periodically go in and rearrange those sets.  Today I found some glaring holes in one of my all-time favorite sets: 1993 Upper Deck.  With the aid of The Trading Card Database, I realized that I need the following three cards:






24, 426, 459

This hurts.  On the bright side that second Chipper is pretty sweet.  If anyone out there has one or all of these, please let me know.  This will definitely be one of those collecting things that eats away at me.  I've also put the '93 UD inserts on my wantlist.  Hit me up!

  1. I knew I recognized that bottom card. I wish I had the other two, but you can mark that Gammons Chipper off your list. I'll drop it in a PWE tomorrow.

    1. Thanks Jeff!! It looked vaguely familiar to me too, when I first saw the image. I probably had it at some point as a kid.
