Cool trophy. I remember the series well, Giants should have won I'll never forget sitting on the couch as one of the games began and having the whole house shake out from under my feet. Crazy times, crazy memories.

1989 World Series Trophy and the 1992 George Brett 3000th hit GU signed ball:
The WS trophy is obviously given to a staff worker which is far more affordable than to a player. Along with it is the program, full ticket and the MVP - Dave Stewart RC.
The other side - is a GU ball (PSA DNA for ball and sig) from Brett's 3000th hit game - don't have a program yet.
👍 on the Brett items.
In case anyone is interested in viewing, here is the program from Brett's 3000th hit game.

Hey Mike! Your World Series trophy is still one of my favorite items ever shared on the forum. I hope you are well!

Nomar's secret twin brother Norman. I didn't notice this label error until I've had it back from PSA for over a month. I'll submit a request for a label correction - hopefully I didn't wait too long. PSA has always had excellent service whenever I've submitted a label correction or a damaged case claim, so I'm confident they'll take care of this.
Come to think of it, are there any famous Normans in MLB history? I'm sure there are but I can't think of one off the top of my head.

I'm getting back into vintage and was able to pick these two Old Judge Cards up. Both are Hall of Famers, and the Hamilton is a POP 1, and the McCarthy is a POP 1 with 2 higher.

This is a rather obscure one - 1986 Topps Football Stickers. These sticker sets were very popular in my elementary school back in the day, and I have been looking for a long time to find an unopened box - ended up finding several, so I cracked one and kept another for the shelf. And if you were wondering, a box contains 500+ “cards” from a set that is only 143 yet the one I cracked didn’t complete even 1 set, though I was able to find a couple singles online to finish it out, along with an unused booklet.
@Centauri Fascinating…. How many stickers short of the 143 were you? And did you get a lot of players with only 1 sticker? Were they just stars missing? Or were some missing cards of relatively unknown players?
Just wondering…
The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few. Or the one. Live long, and prosper.

There were 140 different in the box (and I think the highest was 11 copies of others). The missing ones were not stars at all. Well, actually when I opened them 2 weeks ago there weren’t, but one was a Joe Klecko, who just made the HOF. It certainly seems there are short-prints in this set as they are rare on eBay also.

@Centauri Interesting… well it sounds like you enjoyed the chase!!!! (Even if it was a little unexpected!!!)
Nice job!!!
Thanks for sharing!!!

I received word... per my ID of Tommy Harper #330 showing through the back of the wax wrapper that my 1964 Topps baseball wax pack w/coin...is indeed a 1964 Topps Baseball Wax Pack Series #4 w/coin (Hank Aaron and AL Bombers Series) PSA-8!
Unfortunately...a 1967 Topps Baseball Wax Pack PSA-8 Series #7 (Tom Seaver RC, Rod Carew RC and Brooks Robinson Series) and a 1968 Topps Baseball Wax Pack PSA-8 Series #3 (Johnny Bench RC, Mickey Mantle, and Pete Rose Series) also won in the same Memory Lane Auction arrived w/rips in the wax wrapper...and I returned both for a full refund. Maybe both packs will show up in their next auction...but neither pack is a PSA-8 now. Here are the packs before shipping:

Really like the 1951 Bowman design. May chase the Cubs team set.
Postcards...
Starting to really like these low pop duel graded. Leaf Bo is 1 of 2 with none higher. Pedro is no slouch in eye appeal and low pop.
A bit off centered, but good looking card.

@dan89 Those look great!
Thanks!
Just graded. 1 of 1 pop for my '74 Laughlin and HOF Rookie collections

Congrats! The cards in this set all seem to be skyrocketing in price lately as well.
Hiya Abe
Thanx so much for the kind words buddy. I'm doing pretty well.

That's hilarious!
Here's my latest pickup.

Picked this up for a Sox collector. Nice '52 with the cool logo.
It's here.

That is gorgeous!
I picked up 1 box of 1952 Topps by Naturel and this was the encased art card - was happy to pull the Mantle.
