I love little oddball items like this. PSA hasn't graded any of them yet and I haven't been able to find any reliable information or checklist about them online so I'll enjoy them in their raw form for now. 1977, 1980 and 1982 NFL TV Slides Terry Bradshaw.
It's baseball, but this may shed a little more light on them. An ebay seller had a full set with checklist, which was very insightful.
Picked up a Crosby rookie! Always liked the Black Diamond foil starting with the inaugural 96 set with the Thornton Triple Diamond(Own the Thornton base PSA 10 and Gold Thornton SGC 9)
A really fun and tough to find set. There’s 14 cards to the two different season sets but they’re indistinguishable from year to year so unless you have them in dated packages (6 photo cards in each) it’s toughto decipher which ones are from which season - the ten new ones are pictured first in group shot form.
1969-70 MLBPA New York Yankees Framing Pictures
These four “complete” the set and I believe Pepitone and Mantle were 1969 only; Mickey never played a game for the Yankees in 1969 and Joe left at the end of the season, gone before 1970 began.

For some it’s all about 8s, 9s, and 10s. For me it’s mostly about centering and ink. This is a great pick up for me. So tough to find this OPC card centered.
great card! i really like refractors of star players like jordan.
Same, I mostly collect vintage baseball but have recently started collecting 90s baseball refractors and insets. Even more recently, 90s basketball. 90s basketball refractors (outside of Jordan and Kobe) seem to be undervalued. You can get second year Duncan, Iverson, etc refractors for relatively cheap.
They're no 1976 Walter Payton PSA 10s but... two more for my NFL HoF Rookie set. I'm down to just 9 cards left! (And let's be real, I'm never affording a '35 National Chicle Nagurski, so really just 8 to go!)
After years of waiting, finally have the #1 #3 sticker in PSA 8, and #2 in PSA 9. Bought a box from a gent who's parents bought him the box when he was a young teenager. Has been in storage ever since, the nicest packs I have ever seen. Clean, no stains, not handled, amazing. Some unbroken gum.

Wow that is a great achievement to get so close. Really like that Sprinkle.
These actually arrived in June, but posting for July. Two all time NHL greats.

It was a goal of mine to take this photo, ever since I first saw the two 1953 Topps signed Mantles pictured in it. Finally united them both in my collection. There are only 47 signed 1953 Topps #82 Mantles, as compared to 93 PSA 8s, and some 4500+ graded unsigned. Of the 47 that are signed, only 19 have a numerical card grade. And finally, very few of those 19 are centered with a great auto.
Given how most of the existing signed 1951 Bowman and 1952 Topps Mantles (of which there are very few to begin with) have eye appeal issues due to centering, or auto, or overall card condition, these two specific 1953 Topps cards are at the very top plateau of existing signed early Mantle cards, in terms of sheer overall eye appeal.
I’ve been trying my luck buying raw on eBay and think I’ve done well for what I’ve spent. The Canseco, McGwire and Mattingly cards were from my LCS which I don’t get much time to go to. Mattingly has two small creases I didn’t see in store.
Very happy with the Ripken and Winfield cards. Ripken has edge wear and Winfield has slightly soft corners and an OC back, but both present great.
A new one from Pop Century. Met him once when I was in college right after the Hellraiser movie came out. Nice to get an auto’d card to add to the collection.
Looking for a Glen Rice Inkredible and Alex Rodriguez cards
Another strong eBay raw purchase, $15. There is a slight touch to the bottom right corner but otherwise nothing besides slight OC.
I guess there is some edge chipping on the lower right side and right bottom too. What looks like a crease on the lower left isn’t actually on the card so I’m not sure why it’s showing in the picture.
@maddux69 Congrats on the grade! 7's are still a pretty tough grade with these being so thin. I've been seriously debating throwing my 10 on ebay to see what type of offers are out there.

Thanks, I regard it as a win for that reason and since it wasn't stored the best before making it's way to me. It was in a 5X7 toploader with no soft sleeve so no telling how much it was bumped around in it.
Hard to say as they really haven't gotten their just due yet. Not many around and many iconic images across the board. I mean how many people remember going into a local shop or record store and seeing these posters?!

Speaking of Charley Hustle. Here is my most recent addition.
I get more collecting joy than I should finding cards like this. A hobby within a hobby. A niche
Courtesy of the good folks at BBCemporium.
Picked up some rare sigs for my All-Time ABA project.
Nice!!!

I usually don’t like newer ink, but this card is beautiful.
Had to get this hologram as well.
hey Goldenage,
Pretty cool...
Wow! Those are great and Zelmo isn’t cheap! Great work.

Got this 57 Fox.

88 SLU's with the white border are sharp looking in my opinion. Elvin was a great DE. And yes, rough cut factored into me getting it

75 kellogs set just got on ebay.
The Mother of all PSA 5's
Traditional light, but noticeable, thin roller mark on reverse. Front is one of the best Frank's I've ever seen.
Been busy between finally falling to Covid and work. I did get several cards in this month.
These are from the last of my old subs.
These completed two player sets I was working on

Finally landed this one. Pop 1 none higher. Been looking to add one for quite some time. Only one more 94 card to track down.
I have fallen in love with 1953 Bowman Color cards. Here is my latest addition:
four more desert shields. i need a better ripken.
Non graded pick up. 88 Ace Fact Pack.
Nicest Venezuelans I have ever seen! was lucky enough to get the pair.

I'm loving mid-grade centered cards especially of the All-Timers.

You can find some really great looking 5's. That Clemente is super nice
From the mailbox yesterday.
I have that same one as a 6 and I love it. One of my all time favorite RC’s.
Congratulations
Haven't added to my 58 set in a while but just got this in the mail today:

Man, I always loved the look of that '56 set.
Pretty happy about this one. Bought the base auto then saw this one and had to grab it too.
