i'd really like to find one more auto card from 2007 upper deck sweet spot classic for the steve garvey binder

here are the other two 8-pocket pages from my steve garvey binders. they contain the thicker cards that just don't fit in the standard 9-pocket sheets.  you'll see what i meant in the title of this post when you see these sheets.  here's the first one:
those cards are:

1. 2007 upper deck sweet spot classic signatures gold stitch black ink autograph /99
2. 2007 upper deck sweet spot classic signatures gold stitch blue ink autograph /50
3. 2007 upper deck sweet spot classic signatures barrel blue ink autograph /75
4. 2007 upper deck sweet spot classic signatures barrel black ink autograph /50
5. 2007 upper deck sweet spot classic dual signatures gold stitch black ink autograph (with reggie smith) /15
6. 2008 topps sterling jumbo patch relic (dodgers - 36) 1/1
7. 2008 topps sterling jumbo patch relic (dodgers - 13) 1/1
8. 2010 topps update manufactured bat barrel /99

there are plenty more sweet spot classic auto cards to be had, too, as there are red stitch and black stitch and leather cards in various quantities out there, including a red stitch version of the former most wanted dual auto with reggie smith card.  i recently missed out on a leather version of the garvey auto, which is too bad becasuse i don't have one of those, and also because it would have greatly improved the feng shui of the sheet.  those two sterling cards are serial numbered 1/1, but there are a number of them.  there are both dodger and padre versions, and there are at least 36 of the dodger version, since i have one numbered on the back as "sgd36" and the other is "sgd10".

here are the backs:
yes, the gold stitch/black ink card was a graded card when i obtained it. i've kept the grading info for posterity, but the card itself has long been free from its plastic cage.

here's the next sheet:
those cards are:

1. 2010 topps update manufactured bat barrel /25
2. 2011 topps marquee acclaimed impressions dual relic autographs (with '6' inscription; red patch and gray jersey) /126
3. 2011 topps marquee acclaimed impressions dual relic autographs (blue patch and gray jersey) /126
4. 2011 topps update commemorative patch
5. 2012 topps gold world series champions pin
6. 2013 topps museum collection primary pieces four player quad relics (with andre ethier, matt kemp, and sandy koufax) /99
7. 2013 topps museum collection primary pieces four player quad relics copper (with andre ethier, matt kemp, and sandy koufax) /75

once again, i have two versions of the marquee dual relic auto card because of the nice red patch.  speaking of patches, even though i only have the /99 and /75 versions of the museum collection card, i have seen versions from those print runs with patches on the ethier and/or kemp relics.  the /25 gold version definitely features patches from those two.

here are the backs:
so, one more card would fill out the 8-pocket sheets nicely, not that they are too bad to begin with, i suppose.

the steve garvey pentafecta

someday i will have all of my steve garvey cards scanned.  until then, it's mostly the new stuff that makes it on to the blog as it is much easier to scan cards on the way in than to go grab the garvey binders and extract a card to be scanned.  anyway, i do have enough scans to finish my first post of any of the trifectas or quadfectas or pentafectas that i own.

so, the pentafecta includes a 1/1, a patch, an auto, a relic, and a rookie card of the same player.  here's one of the garvey 1/1 cards i own - a 2008 topps sterling card
look at how small the photo is up there!  now, this is a 1/1 only because of the patch, i believe.  there are other garvey 1/1 cards from this set (i've seen a lot of padres versions) that are pretty ridiculous with the patch layout.  still, it says 1/1 and therefore meets the criteria.

i've shown another patch card of the garv before, and i'll show it again because it is my favorite - his 2001 leaf certified materials fabric of the game card, numbered 6/6
love the red wool patch.

for the autograph, i will show this card - a 1999 upper deck retro card
that was the first card i ever purchased on ebay.  maybe the second, but i do recall it being the first card that arrived after my initial ebay buying spree.

here's a plain ol' jersey card that i own - a 2011 topps marquee titanic threads card
with another tiny photo

finally, garvey's rookie card - his 1971 topps
i'm not sure who else i have reached the pentafecta level with - bill russell maybe.  i'll have to look and see.  i'll have to get around to pulling cards from binders, though, and that might take a while.
