hey there! don't forget that in a couple of days i will launch my 'timeless teams' blog - a celebration and critique of upper deck's 2004 legends set, featuring 300 base cards, on-card autos, fold-out relics, numbered parallels and more. become a follower today!
and, if you follow and/or hype the site on your blog between now and 1/8/12, you will be added to a drawing to win this steve yeager auto from the set.
just for fun, here are just a couple of the other dodger autos i have from the set, each of which will be featured at some point on the new blog.
jesse orosco - the subject of a future dodgers double dipper post
and, just for good measure, here's another former dodger, terry forster, showing off the bronze parallel
so - check out the site. it'll be better than a big tub of goo.

I remember that view from the upper deck at the Big A when I was a kid.
yes, me too - i liked having the 'big a' so close to the stadium.
Maybe you know the answer to this: Garvey has 4 cards...I have not seen too many of the bronze parallels to this set. I had all of the Golds quickly, but not the bronze. I believe I still need 2 of the bronze parallels (IF THEY EVEN EXIST?).
Do you know if the bronze set was a complete parallel to the entire set?
If so, I do not get how cards numbered to 50 can be so impossible to find!!!
I would love to get that yeager auto yeager ruled
curt - the official upper deck checklist shows the bronze parallel to be a full checklist parallel set. i agree, though - the /50 cards seem to surface pretty rarely.
Looking forward to your new blog. I plugged it here.

Wouldn't you know it. I whine a little about not seeing 2 of the 4 and then I am cruising COMC this evening and there is a freshly listed Bronze Garvey for $3. It is the 1981 version, and I can't remember which ones I had, so I quickly snap it up at full price (I normally offer less). Turns out I needed it!!
I now have base, bronze and gold for all 4 versions except the 1980 bronze! Looks like I am slowly creeping towards completion. It's only been 6 years since the cards came out!! If anyone can help a brotha out...
I have never seen a 1/1 for the base cards, but I did land the only auto 1/1 I saw offered, the 1974 version.
