I’ll start things off:
1997 Upper Deck Legends Otto Graham autographed. I have 3 of his on-card official autos, and I believe there are only one or two more to track down.

Just picked this one up. Been looking for a while to find a decent 7.

This is a terrible choice of photo for one of the all time great QBs...looks like he just threw a pick and is running after the DB. You mean they couldn't find a better action picture of him?...SMH. Congrats on the Otto auto...what a great player he was. 10 years in the pros and 10 Championship appearances (with 7 wins!)
I think he's blocking for his teammate on the right side of the card.

He’s a QB running to throw a block for his running back (see the RB with the ball behind him)! I love the hustle and old-school play to act the Fullback for the Halfback.
This one joins Eck in my 75-95 rookie showcase.

Tino was a integral part of my favorite Mariners teams from 90-95. But he is better know for his contributions to the Yankees and their 4 World Series wins from 96-00.

I stand corrected...good catch!
Finally picked up a nice example of a wrapper that’s been on my want list forever. The seller evidently unearthed several of them. Crazy how finds like this can still surface after 62 years…
picked this one up . think i paid $1 for it
Not sure this counts, but I'm always happy to find BBCE flashes...
Now just have to figure out how to see through top of wrappers. Bottoms are easy. lol
hey PastaBoy,
Oh Yeah...This counts...Pretty Cool...
I remember it like it was yesterday. Damn shame the Giants couldn't pull it off. Cool pick up.
Awesome!
Got this in the mail this week. I was there for Game 4 and watched it happen. What more could an eleven-year-old kid ask for then to see their favorite hometown team dominate the hometown rival in the World Series.
Counts as long as you bought it, under almost any definition, this month. I'm a firm believer in "collect what you like".
ETA: If you're worried about showing it on a thread like this because it's not "special" (cool, unique, valuable) enough, a) that's not a criterion, and b) if it was, this would be far above the threshold.
Oh, and if you open them, or even open the brick and can see the individual packs with cards showing, we'd like to see that, too.
We like pictures.
Love that football set. Open!!!!
Thanks . i also have an ashtray picked up a few years ago you'd find interesting . its baseball glove shaped and its for the Kansas City Athletics .
I did open the brick already to see what showed. Probably far as I go right now. Here they are along with the bonus tray included in deal:
Awesome Packs...
Oh Yeah on the 'Wrap"...Pretty Cool...
$1 box find.
Kiss me twice.....let's party.
Nice stuff so far guys! I'm really happy with this Choo Choo '66T high number:
My latest additions to my Puckett set.
hey JoeBanzai,
Cool card...
Thanks! 😁
Loving that Puckett 7-11 rookie. Never seen that one before. Thanks for sharing!
I was also not aware of the 7-11 Puckett - is it standard sized? Is the back blank or printed? Thanks for sharing.
I’ve been looking for a centered PSA 7 in this card for a pretty long time. Finally landed this one, and I’m satisfied.

Beautiful Rose!
that should be an eight.
You folks have sick taste in cards. Those 7s are beauties. I'm selling off about 90% of my collection but I'm still collecting UFC as my methadone. Two RCs of fighters I'm a fan of.

It's not commonly seen, I have a couple raw ones, wasn't confident either would grade mint.
Card is standard sized, here's a picture of the back. Sorry about the glare.
7-Eleven made a lot of HOF "Alternate" RCs in 1984 &1985 specifically (I'm sure there are others in other years) but from those 2 years, there is a high concentration. Not only do they have that great 1985 Puckett, you have the 1985 Mario Lemieux "Credit Card" with Mike Bullard as the other pic on the card is a great way to get a Lemieux RC cheap and the 1984 Slurpee Disc of Steve Yzerman (Canada 7-Eleven Issue), Then 1984 slurpee discs of Dan Marino and the 1984 disc of John Elway are RCs too. I believe there is a 1983 Marcus Allen and 1984 Eric Dickerson slurpee discs that appear to qualify as alternative RCs. Probably more good fan favorite RCs out there like the 1984 Daryl Strawberry Slurpee disc and the 1985 Slurpee disc Doc Gooden too. A great way to see what might be out there for a player that you might not know about is to type the name in at Beckett's site search and choose the player and all the (known) cards for that player come up in year order earliest to latest. It's a great tool. Happy Collecting!
Thanks for sharing the back and the knowledge. That card is really nice.
Today I received the Topps Project 100 #87 Mike Trout Deluxe package which includes a base card plus a parallel out of #100. I do not intend on opening it so maybe the other 99 people will and I will know what number my parallel is

Very happy with this, and the price was lower than expected too! 👍
Very underrated player. Stunning card!
I'm on FIRE!
REALLY wanted the 10, but it was 4 times as much and didn't look any better to me.
Fitting that they were won in batch of 7? You bet. New scoops!
Clearly I’m not setting a singular grade goal but more just trying to put together a nice looking set. Visually, as long as the cards are a match for these two self subbed cards, I’m in and I believe those seven qualify:

^^The #19 card has gotten ridiculous. Iconic card to say the least
Agree - that card features what is just a really great photo…

Did you know that pistol isn't a "real" gun, but a pellet gun?
That's what I read somewhere.
Well, it’s definitely not a Walther PPK…

Holy hell, that card is AWESOME! I just PM’d you, but that was before I saw this. Which Puckett registry are you working on? The master?

Picked these up last week
Here’s a super long slab. A fun set so I had to pick it up… they gave the Arod I sent in a 5 or a 6 I can’t remember
I’ve been wanting to add this Molina card for some time and found one I liked. Love how this one looks
I have a soft spot for Pacific inserts and this one is #/99
That Yadi is awesome. Beautiful.
Thanks buddy!
Yes, the Master set. Not too many people chasing Kirby.
And only 1200+ items! Lol

A few more than Harmon!
Picked up this Rose card recently. Centering and eye-popping color were too hard to pass up...
