First Major Pickup in a long time

In the last 3 years I have had a couple of job changes and a very hectic travel schedule, and have not had the time or the funds to dedicate to collecting. In the past six months I have been picking up a few small things here or there, mainly a bunch of early 80s and late 70s baseball I had gotten rid of years ago. Just simple stuff and realized the joy of collecting what I like once again. A month ago we had our annual card show in my small corner of Louisiana and I saw a card I have been wanting for a long time. To make a long story a little less long I decided to contact the dealer that had it and make a deal for it. After returning home from a road trip from work I picked up this beauty.

In my humble opinion I think it may be under graded.

    Liquidating my collection for the 3rd and final time. Time for others to enjoy what I have enjoyed over the last several decades. Money could be put to better use.

    Wow! An iconic RC of the only good QB in the 55 years of the Jets as a franchise. Love the centering on an impossible card. Great way to end your card draught. Enjoy!


    Baseball, it is said, is only a game. True. And the Grand Canyon is only a hole in Arizona.

    Great looking HOF rookie image

    Is it me or did the NFL HOF Rookie craze slow way down? I remember there were some HEAVY hitters here that no longer have their sets going and sold off a bunch of their high end cards.

    Some of the major players sold out, but I think there are more and more people collecting them, because the prices continue to rise on all in a high grade. I think less people are posting here but still tons out there collecting them.
