Looks like I’m not the only one to get in their Collect Auctions loot this week. I might have to revive my Hoarders thread again.

I’ve always loved that 02 Superstars Brady card. The underdog kid in disbelief after winning his first super bowl. A personal fave when I collected Brady. Pulled it from a pack myself.

A bit lower pop than most of the other commons in the team set.

Just picked up the most "minty" Mantle I've ever had.

Just got these in the mail today.

Was a very generous gift from Robert aka robert67.

He included a very kind note to me that made my day!

Thanx to Robert and others who support me and others in our collecting pursuits.

Hey! I just got one of those back in the PSA/DNA group sub. Nice card!

stwainfan

After a long search. I was finally able to complete my Randy White set.

Got this back now I might try and get keith shore to sign this card.

My Reggie run.........

NGS428

Completes my Griffey Score base card run from 90-98. My first factory set was 1990 Score, so Score holds a little place in my heart. 1998 is the last year of Score cards. Pop 6, 1 higher.

this is a first for me…how is the fritsch sticker over the bbce sticker?

does fritsch send some of their stuff for bbce to wrap then sell?

Most of the stuff is consigned to Collect Auctions and yes, sent directly by Fritsch to Steve

very cool. havent bought anything from fritsch in years. actually surprised fritsch doesnt have their own wrapping & label for such things. not sure the recent opinion, but in my mind if it was purchased directly from fritsch, it was pretty much iron clad. and conversely, thats a pretty big nod for fritsch to send stuff to bbce to wrap for them.

@UFFDAH LOVE. I tried to buy one of those. Guess I didn’t try hard enough.

Every time you post this kind of amazing item, I'm reminded of that scene in Wolf where David Hyde-Pierce looks at Jack Nicholson in awe and says "You are my god."

I was not aware that 1975 topps baseball was issued in series. I thought that series issues stopped after 1973, at least for baseball.

It was not issued in series. Just some vending and cut card cases were filled only from certain sheets.

I've seen this topic come up before, and I find it interesting that Topps would produce 2 sheets, when combined, that would exclusively have numbers 1-264. The cards on the sheets are not numbered consecutively 1-132 and then 133-264, as can be seen from the cards on my Aaron Highlights/Brett sheet.
.

Accounting for 3 additional sheets, how was the rest of the set distributed in vending? Did they offer vending boxes with the remaining 265-660, or a box with just numbers 265-528, and the vending boxes with the 5th sheet only, containing numbers 529-660? Anyone know?

My first Tom Seaver PSA card.

NGS428

This card brings me to 86.43% complete on the Griffey Basic set of 221 cards. That is now tied for the 3rd highest completion % all-time..

DBesse27

The definition of “basic” in modern player registries always perplexes me. For 1986 and before, it was Topps, Donruss, Fleer. That makes sense to me. When Finest came out, none of us thought it was basic. With that said, Finest cards are usually gorgeous and yours is no exception!

Today’s ‘72 addition…

I hear ya about the basic set definition. There are plenty more cards which could be added, but where do you stop. 221 is good enough for me. The last few are tough to find.

The Griffey basic set cards come from the following sets:
BOWMAN
DONRUSS
FINEST
FLAIR
FLEER
LEAF
PINNACLE
SCORE
SELECT
SP AUTHENTIC
SP
STADIUM CLUB
STUDIO
TOPPS
ULTRA
UPPER DECK

Cmon….no comments on the haul?

Chargers49ersLakers

FINALLY found a full box 36 packs unsearched, sitting in a warehouse for decades. Could afford it, as it wasn't found by someone else and had it BBCE wrapped yet. Notice the condition of the box! Mint like box! Packs are mostly PSA 7, with a few worse, and maybe a few better.

Yes, no comments.

Been rendered speechless. When I stare too long at your post I pee my pants and forget who I am for a half hour.

Scooby Doo2...

Can we see your Reggie run? It seems that you're collecting 10s (dimes)!

thehallmark

Sometimes a "like" is not enough. Sometimes is also needs a DAYUMM!!

stwainfan

For my Reggie run.

ScoobyDoo2

@mintonlypls ....I'm going for PSA 10's indeed when I can snag 'em..... thus far its '72, '77 and '80.... already shared on this forum. Looking at a '79 .. not sure if I'll pull that trigger.

Pulled my first 1/1 today. Auto Insert to boot. Select Blaster at 6am cattle call at Meijer.
