My current rabbit hole is the Topps Rookie Cup cards autographed. Of the around 500 since the 1960 set I'm down to around 20 or so still needed. Here are some of my favorites.

Not my collection but a nice recent submission return. My first PSA 9 of this card. I have 17 PSA 8s. LOL Honestly, some of my 8s look as good or better than this 9.
Amazing collections. I focus on MMA and Wrestling. Here are the top graded rookie cards of the 4 UFC champs who have had double digit title defenses. Excuse the bad picture... need a scanner

Some goodies from my PSA Project..
What project?
I have one for each of the big 4 sports.
Baseball one is -
1 card (HOF) from each yr. 1952- 2020 so far.
I can get notable player if no HOF at my $$ range until I get one. (1953 - A.Dark) anybody want to help me on 53 HOF ?
Bowman or Topps etc.. PSA 8..
I'll probably add 1950 & 51 if a good deal comes along.
1952 to 1980 - PSA 8 or higher.
1981 on - PSA 9 or 10.
NO REPEAT PLAYERS.. cards like league leader, All Star, etc are ok.
Also want a variety to cover baseball history of cards.. 64 T Giant, Kelloggs. ok.
I can't fit all the HOF players, so cards like the 1967 - 66 NL Pitching leaders helps a lot.
4 HOF on 1 card.. Koufax, Marichal, Gibson, G.Perry.
Still need some for hockey, football, hoops, but not a lot.
Fun project.

1981 on - PSA 9 or 10.
HOF players, can be a notable player until a Hall of Famer that's suitable is found.
ex 1953 - Al Dark.. Who has a HOF 1953 bowman or Topps psa 8 ? $$ is an issue..
Want the cards to represent a good look at the history of cards so Kellogg's and cards like 1964 Topps giant cards are ok.
All star cards, league leaders & such ok as well.
Like the 1967 - 66 NL pitching leaders card.
4 HOF on 1 card, Koufax, Marichal, Gibson & G. Perry.. perfect as I can't fit all the HOF players.
Fun project.
Thanks guys on the Jim Brown 5.5. That was a 5 when I bought it and I sent it in and got a bump to 5.5. It has some flaws that keep it down but the centering sold me on it.

blurry that is crazy how many Soto's you have!
I hope he has a big year and the Nats can contend again.
thanks bud, i'll keep peppering them in the thread. went big on him in '18 snatching everything i could after ironically & randomly being at his debut game. mainly went w the rc logo stuff vs the '16 bowman chromes. never a big prospect card guy & the wierd pic of him made it an easy choice to pass on.

Don't think I have ever shown this one. Acquired last year:
Been striking-out with unopened packs this month, so I bought myself a consolation prize.

I've probably showed most of these at some point already. Sorry for the sizing issues...
This is the 1/1
that sy berger card is amazing!
Thanks. It took some thinking to figure out who I wanted to sign that card for my set. Given the circumstances, I think the decision made sense. :-)
A fun mix of color and grayscale, raw and graded...
