    Nice pickups
    I have to say where I am from you would never see nice graded cards like that. If so it would be 2X value to buy.
    Nice Mick

    Love the look of this year's UD Black Diamond. The 2 color patch is nice as well too.

    Like most of my grabs, it’s pretty and it has some flaws. This year design can hide them pretty well:

    1964 Topps #50 Mickey Mantle

    Hiya Tim

    I picked that card up raw years ago and sub'ed it to PSA - came back a 6 - was very happy.

    I think the card looks great.

    @Chicago1976 that warren Spahn is absolutely beautiful!

    Thanks Rofles! It was a nice find. I really like the Red Heart design. Own 2 now, thinking about getting more.

    A Red Heart Spahn...and a cool bobble head from my brother.

    I love the Red Heart cards. It's the first graded set I did. That is one of the nicest PSA 4 Red Hearts I've seen. How bad is the centering on the back? If you see a Red Heart Spahn that is centered on the front, the back is always off centered.

    Yes, you are correct. It is off centered on the back. But I agree, still looks really good for a 4!

    I did not have the cash to pick up the. 1963 Fleer I saw this weekend. It was a PSA 9 Mint. Think I would have to sell a kidney to get it.

    Yeah I know. It is a high dollar card. I bet that looked very nice.

    I've got them all as I started collecting him a long time ago. I've got four of his 63s that I've gotten signed. They're around PSA 7 quality. I doubt I have anything that would be above an 8 if I were to get it graded. I just focused on nice examples that would look good signed.

    67 topps football is just an awesome set in general! really wish they'd go back in those designing directions for a year or two.

    I was thinking the same thing. I am not a box guy, but that looked very good to me.

    i love the vintage logo and eventual turn into vintage stock. probably my favorite parallels tying vintage to modern! had no clue they went back to ‘03 though.

    They did 2003 at a limited number of players, 45 I think.. Crazy pull numbers.. It's the first one I have seen in pretty much daily searches since 2003..

    As a Colorado guy, I like what I see from this kid. Murray is out for the rest of the year and Jokic needs a side kick. So I grabbed a rookie. He can score. That’s for sure. Hopefully the rest of his game continues to develop.

    I don't own many ultra-modern cards but I like Soto and Acuna (like everyone else) so I picked up a couple of nice looking Rookie AS cards (IMHO). I particularly like the Acuna's look. They aren't bigtime cards like many of you display and own but I think they are nice. And, for the record, I know VERY little about ultra-modern cards in general aside from the fact that refractors are cool. :)

    Some non card items that I purchased cheaply:

    Ball Four Dell paperback circa 1971. Even the back is hilarious:
