This was a TTM (Through The Mail) that I received back in 2018 after several attempts. Was very happy to get this one back - especially due to his age. Auto is very shaky which is sad to see.
For a small school I have very high expectations for the friars this year. Here is a card from when I was in high school and they made a memorable run to the elite 8.

Great card, Chad. I actually played against his high school a few times. Fun fact about Shamgod Wells (as he was called back then) is that he was high school teammates with Ron Artest (who also changed his name, to Metta World Peace) at LaSalle Academy. LaSalle Academy went on to win the NY CHSAA title my senior year - we lost to them in the quarterfinals.
I wish that undersized point guard (Shamgod) had stayed in college longer; his game needed a little more polish.

Thank you for remembering his name was Shammgod Wells! And yes, I said at the time and always maintained that it was a huge mistake for him to come out 2 years early.

My first T206, a gift in the CU Secret Santa years ago. I love the yellow on this card. I eventually collected the whole Providence team set.

I purchased this card raw on eBay a few years ago for a couple of bucks and happened to get it signed IP before he went on to Milwaukee and become a star.

Main collecting focus is Patrick Roy playing days 85/86-02/03, expect 1/1, National/All-Star stamped cards.PC Completion: 2,548/2,952; 86.31% My Patrick Roy PC Website:https://proy33collector.weebly.com
Each of the 150 different Regional Team cards are available in the following parallels.
Platinum Team

Based on calculations, there are roughly 137 Premier cards and 711 Platinum cards per player.
The viewpoint on wrestling cards have changed over the years.....low supply compared to other sports and so many of those guys from the 1980s are a huge part of our childhood. It's fun and you do not have to complete against a lot of different brands and or insets, etc. I really do not collect much past 2000 except for a few things but the 80s and early 1990s is pretty fun. I actually have a lot of early wrestling stuff from the 1800s and even the Parkhurst wrestling sets in the 1950s. People just don't know who most of those wrestlers are though. Thanks for the post.

Took a chance on a really strong looking raw OPC set on eBay and just got this one back from PSA - was expecting a 7 so I'm very happy with the results.
Born this day in 1891! He finished 12th in the league's MVP voting is 1933 at the age of 41 despite hitting .218 with 104 hits and no homers. My how things have changed.
Tallulah Bankhead — 'There have been only two geniuses in the world. Willie Mays and Willie Shakespeare.'
"Marvelous" Marv! In 1962 he hit a triple against the Cubs but Ernie Banks yelled for the ball and the umpire then touched second and said to Marv that you missed the base. Out came manager Casey Stengel to argue but the ump stopped him and said "no use Casey he missed first too"

This is just awesome. It's also precisely the kind of card that makes it very difficult to remain focused. Makes me want to go hunt for every great looking mid grade cornerstone card that has nothing to do with the sets I'm trying to complete. I'm sure I'm not alone on this.

Nothing better than:
There are some really great people in this hobby and I'm proud to call several of them friends.
This was a TTM (Through The Mail) that I received back in 2018 after several attempts. Was very happy to get this one back - especially due to his age. Auto is very shaky which is sad to see.
You're one of those great people Kyle. You know what I'm talking about.
This is my card of the day.
Great looking Wilt. I never get tired of seeing it.
Bobby, that card would not look out of place in an 7.5 holder. Beautiful copy.
For a small school I have very high expectations for the friars this year. Here is a card from when I was in high school and they made a memorable run to the elite 8.
Chad you know I love that Shammgod and I love our Friars! I really hope Diallo has a big year.

Today’s pick inspired by the Neil Young tune playing when the truck cranked up this am:

Power Index is exclusive to Series One Hobby packs, Slugging to retail, and On-Base to Jumbo packs.

Intersection of my 2 biggest baseball collecting interests: Yaz and Venezuelan Topps! Excellent deal with @thesouthdoesitagain a couple of years ago.
