Well I was hoping to show what I had won last month and was to be delivered this month but seller looks to be a game player when it comes to honoring their ended prices.
I won this https://www.ebay.com/itm/313679569621?hash=item4908c262d5:g:6AkAAOSw0jJhRlvD&nma=true&si=xBLK7nVEDMopRHARM77%2B3Lp7OaI%3D&orig_cvip=true&nordt=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557
Lot Of 10 Vinyl Records with Sleeves
Which included this:
I was the only bidder. Paid immediately (as I always do). Tracking number provided on Sept 28th and nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing until this morning when I see I have been refunded and this note

I get it. Probably discovered the actual value of the Buddy Holly record but do your research, put more thought into your listings, have better descriptions and start it at a minimum price your comfortable at. Frustrating but not worth losing sleep over.
And I did get something today for the wife. Brand new/$6.86 delivered. I know it's not a big deal but she didn't have it and loves Garth Brooks.

Great pickups shared already!
I've been looking for the right Griffey bowman rookie for years. Finally pulled the trigger on this one...
I finished my Catfish Hunter set.

Very nice! Any little off center with those white borders and they get ugly real fast.

for me and the son!
2018 Topps Chrome Update Juan Soto RC /99
As a Red Sox fan, Soto has been scaring the hell out of me this weekend. He's just missed a few pitches which could have easily downed the Sox. Big game today with #1 Wild Card on the line - If I were Alex Cora I would intentionally walk him every time today.
Added a few
Here’s an interesting one that I haven’t seen before. 71 Greatest Moments Aparicio proof. It has the traditional Greatest Moments news paper image on the back. $30 on eBay. Does anybody know if PSA would authenticate this?
I'm gonna say no way PSA authenticates that '71 TGM card but it's really cool! Is the back fully printed?
Yea, back looks just like the production card. See below.
The Big Tuna ~ Acuna ~. I'M a big fan of the auto outside of Topps "in house" Authentication.
Another easy deal with @Kid4hof03 netted me this awesome Dandy Don
picked these ones up
Just picked up this huge piece for the PC.
19/20 Stature Cale Makar Rookie RPA 7/9.
The new Topps Premier Lacrosse League cards are arriving on doorsteps this week. I ordered 30 packs and they arrived yesterday. My kids and I had a blast opening them. My daughter typically has the hot hand when we open cards, but I came through with probably the best pull of my hobby life!
1/1
That’s awesome! Congrats Todd!
Curious about the rare, mysterious and beautiful 1951 Wheaties Premium Photos?
https://forums.collectors.com/discussion/987963/1951-wheaties-premium-photos-set-registry#latest
felt like i stole this. absolutely thrilled it actually arrived.
This little guy just topped off a really stellar season.
a couple more hall of fame offensive lineman from two of my favorite eighties football sets.
Over the last month or so sold a few things on COMC so I loaded up my cart with random stuff I liked (some random stuff for a few small player collections and hit the button for express rushed shipping and got in this evening
A few cheaper tens
A few for player set projects
And one PC RC add
Is this holder from Topps? Hadn't seen it before.
yes. these were issued at their “e-con” convention way back in the day when topps was trying to get the “etopps” brand up and running. some are of /1s, others are /5s, and of /25s. the cards themselves are stamped inside and then factory slabbed. while the brand ultimately fizzled out due to poor management, they were basically the predecessors of where the hobby seems to be heading with epacks, nfts and digital wise. the regular cards were basically sold online, held at topps and then primarily traded online and transferred from collector portal to collector portal. pretty crazy being back around 2002-3ish…
per the cards themselves, i love the fact that the convention was held in cleveland. home to the rock n roll hall of fame. perfect marriage of early slabbing, rookie cards, guitars & rock n roll. and to tell ya the truth, the flips and holders arent half bad in hand. until recently they coulda been scooped up for next to nothing.
not sure how i missed this one earlier, but zoinks scoob!
My first Ty Cobb and the oldest card in my collection!!
@UFFDAH Just WOW! That's a beautiful Cobb. Congrats!
no words @UFFDAH

Econ 5 was in 2007 at Cleveland, and Econ 4 in 2006 at Anaheim, etc etc etc.
Cleveland was cool as they combined some Rock n Roll HOF designs
I know Chris Frost has a few Clemens ,and a few other collectors maybe a few more scattered. I lost track in 2015 when I stopped buying Clemens items to concentrate more on selling. All my Econ 5 are the 1/1 versions with a few guitar variations, the 2004 stuff the # to 5 Star versions and Palm Tree 1/1.
I may know where another hundred plus sealed show items of various players are ( in my Ma or CT storage- buried)
These were just what I found here in my Vegas storage
And I know some dealers keep everything- someone has the econ paperwork- see me. I'll pay well for the backup.

I think this kid has a huge chance to be something special. The red is # 199 and the orange # 50
in the world of Ty Cobb's and the other amazing cards in this thread.
I dare to ask -- how about some Ahmad Rashad????
i wish i had the chipper jones rookie great card!
i did not know that cards that old can still look like your ty cobb card. the red just jumps out i bet it looks even more amazing in person.
These got back from Newport in a new suit. Can you guess my favorite team when I was growing up as a young lad?
@lwehlers - cards in this condition simply amaze me. 111 years old.
Can you imagine having such a core group as rookies the same year. All they needed was Gibson and that was the complete heart of the WS team.
Just added this one. Seems to be woefully undervalued, given his contributions
not labeled, but i imagine that had to be from the black swamp find. amazing read, find & score for any of those that arent familiar with the story. very few 100 year old cards id be comfy owning in this type of condition. this is one of them.
@blurryface - Hello. From the recently auctioned Newman Collection and described as originally from the Black Swamp find.
Well, you do have a pair each of Braves, Blue Jays and Indians...
I'm going to eventually need that Morris card for my Braves team set.
To Rexvos' point, they not only had those guys all showing up at or around the same time, they also had Jason Thompson and Steve Kemp just slightly ahead of them and they both looked like future stars, too.
You should add the (also 1978) rookie of the MVP of that team. (Terrible choice, IMO, but he did win.)
I personally don't like/collect the multi player RCs. But seeing these together all in such crispy mint condition - they present beautifully!
Ah the old black swamp find. I dream of that scenario, an attic find, and then I wake up.
I wonder how much is sitting in garages and attics? Maybe not the old old stuff but probably some good stuff from 1950 - 1980. I would like to do a massive road trip up north searching for hockey cards similar to Al Rosen (Mr.Mint) without totally ripping people off.
Successful card BST transactions with cbcnow, brogurt, gstarling, Bravesfan 007, and rajah 424.
got this record album and framed to protect it .. am unsure what year it is though.. no date on the back
Thank you. I'm lucky that I finished it before Tram and Jack got into the HOF. I hope Lou gets in, he was my favorite Tiger.
This came back from Newport as well. This was one of the first "big dollar" cards I purchased. That is a print dot near the top, not a scuff.
a lot more than one would think. just think last year a guy found his 52 stash in his moms attic. forget the exact deets but among the haul were 5 - 6 mantles that graded out 5 - 8.5, i think. and that was just the real big dog.
