stay sterling, san diego

i mentioned a few days ago that there have been (and continue to be) a number of rare-ish large patch steve garvey cards show up on the bay lately.  i picked up two more for my collection, but the ones currently for sale are definitely priced out of reach.

this first one is from 2007 topps sterling, and features a 'big a' from a padres jersey
it comes from a 1984 padres jersey like this one below
in fact, it might just be this exact jersey.

the next one is from 2008 topps sterling
and features the 'p' from a different padres jersey like this one from 1987:
again, it could be this one as it, like the jersey above, this one was featured in an auction a few years back.

i once again went to photoshop to confirm the obvious:
 and
obviously awesome.

unless those prices drop, these may well be the last of the sterling 1/1's i add to my collection, and if that is the case, they're not a bad note to end on.

  1. couple of nice patches there. I like the first patch a wee better, but I don't like cards without the dude's pic on it, so........ card two is the winner.

    my two cents.

    good luck on your hunt.
