The Angels have been a life-long love for me - my parents took me to games when I was a toddler, just as I've done for my daughter (she's been to two games now). <BR/><BR/>In fact, I'm still hoping that if I look hard enough in my storage unit I'll find my box of older Angel cards, with complete Topps Team sets from 1980 to 1990.William Noetlinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18034490187710188330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7729460299643993554.post-5115544138888720852008-06-30T10:32:00.000-07:002008-06-30T10:32:00.000-07:00I think it's great that you found your niche with ...I think it's great that you found your niche with Angels cards. I still haven't narrowed it down yet as to exactly what I would like to concentrate on.

The card itself is very, very nice, but I wouldn't pull it out of its' holder. <BR/><BR/>I'll definitely check out your site too.

It was dubbed the disappearing head card when it was first unveiled for etoppers in 2004 and appealed to "in-hand" (having it shipped to your home) collectors because for the first time the total print run of the card was stamped on the back. <BR/><BR/>The downside to the 2004 model is the surface of the card. Don't get anyone's signature on a 2004 card. The surface is not compatible with a regular sharpie pen and I've seen terrible signatures from attempts at card shows. <BR/><BR/>You forgot to mention that the card is shipped in a sealed acrylic case to preserve the card's genuine mint condition and each card has a tamper-proof holographic sticker to ensure the card's condition.<BR/><BR/>Hopefully some day etopps will offer Vladimir Guerrero's autograph on their website. <BR/><BR/>If you or your readership would like to read more about etopps "in-hand" cards, please read my blog: etoppsinhandmarketwatch.blogspot.com<BR/><BR/>-DerekDerek From Simply Superheroes https://www.blogger.com/profile/14375091626605910116noreply@blogger.com
