Not Cards but got a couple of these beauties this month.
Just massage his head with a shovel. Remember strike range is half the body length - those don’t appear to be too large but always proceed with caution.
It still amazes me how some refractors turn out when scanned. This refractor looks blue but in hand it is the chrome refractor finish. I am a long time Lions fan and always felt that the Topps Chrome Rookie Patch was the best RC for him. At the time there were no 10's, so I was mostly looking at raw. I saw this on ebay a while ago. I reached out to the seller and he needed to sell it because he was out of work due to a snowmobile accident (Minnesota seller). I don't know if it was a sob story but he said it was a really nice card and I should submit. I hit the BIN and submitted, he was right.....Pop 1.
Came home in the middle of my workday today so this bad boy wouldn’t sit out in the July heat! Never see these for sale so I was thrilled when I grabbed this one!(no, it’s not the one that just sold for $1200+ on eBay) 😁
Picked up a few cards I needed for my set, pushing me past 2/3 complete. The set is a beast and there’s a decent chance it is never completed; that’s ONE of the challenges of collecting rarities.

Well had to do some trading and selling but was able to get these boxes in.
For myself i think these are pretty hard to come by but will go nice in the collection.
A small little mail day. I actually purchased this in early June, but it just arrived from Madrid this morning. Top pop and nicely centered to boot. I couldn't pass it up. Also, in the time it took to get here I picked up a PSA 4 copy that just happens to be it's sequential serial sibling.
This one has eluded me for a while, pop 2. Working on the master set, I’ve tried to complete the earlier cards first so it is nice to cross one off the list.
well this 10'd. and considering how a raw zion is sitting at $20k w 5 days left, i rolled a few of the proceeds into a couple more breaks. lucky streak continues:
edit: anything that looks like a base card, is not. rui gold is jersey 8/10.
@VoteDizzy I played pickup basketball in spring/summer 87 against Muggsy, Sam Ivy and future Deac Chris King. We were absolutely destroyed
eBay bucks. The Williams called to me. Sweet Swinging Billy is the way.
Had an opening day set in 1987, opened it. 33 years later the mistake is rectified
Got Mr. Poholsky today. This card can be difficult to find centered, many off left to right. Happy with this one. Nice cards everyone. Thanks for sharing. Doug
Some are pickups from the show in Hickory, NC today. The PSA 3 Mantle has been in my collection and the PSA 1 is a recent return from PSA. The raw copies will be headed to Newport Beach soon, low grade but nicely centered and present well. I have been a lowkey Zion fan for a while, he was born in my hometown and I started following him while he was at Spartanburg day school.
A huge thank you to James - these cards are amazing and I am excited to add them to my collection. Always loved the AS cards and the 61s get me to 26 left on my HOF set. James has great taste in cards and the MVPs really pop! I feel like I just got back from the National with adding all of these.
I was able to pick up 21 of these Steelers Team Sheets from a seller ranging from 1982 back to 1974. I'm able to locate most of them on Beckett.com but was hoping for some assistance locating/identifying the ones the seller said were from 1974. I did pull up the 1974 roster and all the players match there. Beckett doesn't have that year listed, PSA hasn't graded any and I can't find any information from any other source. I figure I should have this knowledge if I decide to extract the Bradshaw (and others) to send to PSA. I show the one below with Bradshaw but have 5 more for 1974 if that would help.

Good luck with your sub, I’m afraid I think you should have passed though.
Yaz and Dwight Evans are my 2 favorite players of all time. This booklet includes both of them plus 2 HOFers and my first Petrocelli relic. I knew it had wear when I bought it, but I'm still thrilled to own it. Using the seller's scans.
Usually when I upgrade a card, it's a significant upgrade. I've never "upgraded" a PSA 8 with a different PSA 8 before now, but I absolutely despise tilt and, as such, I had a copy of this card that I just hated. Here is my new copy:
