I know a lot of us collect vintage -- 1980 and back (heck maybe 1975 and back), but the insert cards of the 90's are intriguing and certainly some are very valuable/collectable. I kind of look at the OPC issue an insert card sort of, for the day. The gold version if you will.It is funny you mention this. I started buying OPC for my PC back in the 90s. I pretty much did it for the exact reason you mention. I had already accumulated the topps versions of my favorite players and was looking for something more. like the "gold refractor" version of Brett or Schmidt or Ryans rookies.
while I understand most do not value OPC like the few of us on here do, I have for 30 years considered them hidden gems. Really nicely graded versions have that "exclusive" feel to me.
I collect OPC and consider Venezuela Topps cards another hidden gem

Re: Anyone want to share their new purchases?
I second that! If your wife encourages your hobby, THAT in itself is deserving of a toast! I am not married, but my beautiful partner of 13 years, Linda, encourages me in my collecting endeavors as well! So, I count myself in the group of the lucky few in our hobby that have a very supportive partner! Congratulations on the coins AND your wife!

Re: Does this 1916 Lincoln cent appear to be a proof to you?
@Coinscratch said:
Since it's a proof shouldn't it straight grade now instead of being questionable color?
Not necessarily, but a lot more leeway is given to Proofs.

Given that 9 teams have 2 wins, should be sending the Titans kicker Christmas gifts lol> @stevek said:
Maybe you guys didn't notice Belichick's current girlfriend? She's around 24 years old, and I think she was a cheerleader at one time. Something like that.
Him taking the college job makes perfect sense. Now he will be exposed to all the cheerleaders and pretty young girls that his heart desires.
Look for the new video coming out next season, "Bill Belichick enjoying a hot tub with the North Carolina cheerleaders." LOL
She was a college cheerleader but shes definitely more excited about the money hes making again. She also wont need to be around him as much anymore now that hes coaching in college which if he actually wants to make a real effort takes a lot more time and effort than the NFL does.
He really didnt have any NFL options as a head coach, but supposedly a big reason he took the job was for his son. His sons the DC at Washington and theres a ton of rumors Bill will coach 2 years and then his son will get the HC job at UNC

Last year, I purchased a PMG graded (25) $10 Military Payment Certificate, Series 481, for $55 w/free shipping. I only bought it because the reverse design caught my eye, and I really liked it.
I am baffled to this day as to why I was able to buy this thing for $55 because it is valued at around $250-$300. It's actually one of the rarer MPC notes.
Impressive reverse on that certificate. Can see why you purchased it.
Re: This looks like a fun- if not too profitable- listing
If the coin thing doesn't work out, the seller could give fiction writing a try...
