    NICE Maddux Jason !!!! I'm still looking for my own Clemens version :s

    More slabs back for Mr Boggs from the cards I carried around for 40+ years. Was surprised at the size of the slabs involved

    The Fantastic Sams versions with tab are tricky aS they were produced off center PSA did a good job on that one. Pop 2 with 2 higher. I have more so tested the waters on that one. I actually wrote an ARTICLE ABOUT THEM as I came across them going thru my PC stuff. If you have additional info see me please looking to always learn more and have more back up. We didn't have one locally until the last 90's so I have very little info on that series distribution just some basic knowledge of where/why. Would love some magazine or hobby promotion backups.

    The Jiffy Pop discs came of popcorn containers. Back had issues so didn't expect much. Pop 1 with 4 higher.Tabs were a little rough also.Haven't had time to do my article on that series yet

    Back in it after a little break. I really like this Puckett card. One of those ones that felt out of my price range as a kid...

    I love the 84 Fleer Update set. I have a Gooden out in a sub but centering will keep it from hitting a 10. That Puckett is a great card.

    Looking for FB HOF Rookies

    I'm digging those Boggs oddball issues. I've always loved oddball issues, even though they're not usually worth a lot of money. Somehow they've always captured my interest as they were usually way out of the mainstream.

    After two trips to Newport Beach this is finally home! The only copy to be graded by PSA with the Ken Griffey Jr the only other gold winner PSA has graded.

    Collectors bearing an Extreme Players Bronze card of one of the winning players could redeem it for an Extreme Winners Bronze set of all ten winning players. A winning Extreme Players Silver winning card would be entitled to a ten-card Extreme Winners Silver set done on Finest-style chromium stock. While the ten Extreme Players Gold winners could trade their card for a glass-coated, chromium-stock, Finest-style Extreme Winners Gold card of their player in return.

    Nice, did you have to submit it as a tallboy? I've got a Larkin ready to go, but hadn't figured out what it should be subbed as. Those 'cards' are heavy!

    No, just went as part of the bulk from last August. It was returned as unable to holder since the glass coating makes it so thick. I knew that the Griffey's have been holdered so I reached back out and after speaking to someone in encapsulation determined it could be holdered. So back to PSA it went, thought it would be a short trip, but it was put in the queue for bulk grading even though it was only one card. :D So long story short, put it in with your bulk graded and know that it can be encapsulated despite initial struggles.

    Incredible, Mike!

    I would have never even thought of trying to acquire a piece like that.

    You really should put together a photo catalog of your collection.

    Really nice Rich!

    I'm a fan of clean ball points over sharpies on a card.

    I have his auto on a Perez Steele - looks way better on the Red Heart.

    Remember when these were through the roof??!! How high did they get? Just saw this at a local card shop and couldn’t help myself

    I sold 19 of them, raw from vending, for $80 each to a dealer who'd flown out to LA the previous day on a buying trip - probably 1998.

    NICE FISK :)

    The tilt on those is common- learned that on my first slab experiment years ago back in 1999 when I sent 5 to BGS and maybe 20 to PSA to figure out what they were looking for on it.

    Somewhere I have a PSA 9 and maybe 10-15 PSA 8 Fisks this was all I could dig out of storage quickly
    Excuse me for the "other guys" slab :s

    A recent pick up.

    As someone who has watched, often in awe, I have to ask:

    Will you open this stuff one day? Resell only? Gosh, you’ve just got such awesome inventory I guess I was wondering if you had plans to open one day or were undecided?

    Feel free to leave unanswered too.

    Awesome stuff, as per usual.
