Here are a few more...

I buy a box of this issue now and then on the off chance I hit a Manny Auto .... No dice again but 2 Alex PSA 10s for the collection and:

Being a Huge Lakers fan this was a nice add:

Have been waiting for one of these at a decent price for a long time

A few more Alex cards:

halosfan · August 26, 2014 12:12PM

Thanks ... I do not have a good storage method ... but I am quickly needing one

baseballfan · August 26, 2014 11:18PM

I love the soda can signed by Walter, that's a great item

I would love to know the story behind that, when I have nothing for someone to sign I go with a dollar bill but that was a cool idea

Stone193 · August 27, 2014 1:56PM

I really like the Piece of the Game ARod Matt.

The question about storage?

My thing is about display. I wish I had tons of wall space and square footage.

I saw on a show where someone turned their basement into a display like a store - so there were display cabinets in the middle of the room - looked great. I'm sure they paid good money for that.

halosfan · August 30, 2014 10:06AM

Two more

That 2001 Gallery Arod autograph is one of my favorite cards of all time. Love the look of that card. Great collection!

Stingray · September 3, 2014 2:27AM

Starting to pick up some 79s, couldn't pass this one up:

Stone193 · September 4, 2014 3:49AM

A beauty Kirk.

Centering is sweet for a '79.

DanBessette · September 5, 2014 4:43AM

That glavine is SICK!

DanBessette · September 5, 2014 1:40PM

I love minor league and oddball issues like that.

WhiteTornado · September 9, 2014 11:52AM

Picked this up recently from another forum member, FarveFan71 (thanks, Troy!) Hard to see in the scan but it is serial numbered 100/100.

DanBessette · September 9, 2014 12:19PM

Great card, great player, great board member. And a cool serial number too.

halosfan · September 25, 2014 10:34AM

Nice LT ... he was a fun back to watch.

The Warner finished that small set in all 10s. I love all the Gallery of Heroes sets across all the sports and am slowly building them all. Not expensive cards I just like them.

When I bought the Warner I looked at the sellers other auctions and saw thee Johny Football. I love the design of the card so nabbed that one too. then went looking on eBay and got a few more from that set. Now I think I'm going to need a checklist as they are just cool cards in my opinion. I'm now waiting on the Blake Bortles and Sammy Watkins cards to arrive.

halosfan · October 2, 2014 9:18PM

And voila

And another Alex with a decent piece ..

WhiteTornado · October 2, 2014 11:49PM

I like the 2014 Bowman FB minis, nice pickups

halosfan · October 3, 2014 3:18AM

Love the Union Jack and the Presidential card!!!

Stone193 · October 3, 2014 4:13AM

Congratulations on completing your Gallery of Heroes set Matt.

halosfan · October 3, 2014 9:30AM

Couple of new ones

And in honor of OctobeRED my first Trout

I've also now gotten the needed 15 cards for my renewal sub and am pumped to be sending that out this weekend!

Stone193 · October 3, 2014 11:59AM

Super Trout auto card Matt.

My wife bought me some frozen pretzels and found Trout on the box - so I saved it.

halosfan · October 3, 2014 12:02PM

Mike!!!! It's game time and I'd love a pretzel. Thanks for the share

elsnorto · October 3, 2014 4:44PM

For cripes sakes, haven't you done enough damage by making me collect 2012 Upper Deck Fleer Retro Autographs?

I will NOT collect 2014 Bowman 1950 Mini Rookies... I will NOT collect 2014 Bowman 1950 Mini Rookies... I will NOT collect 2014 Bowman 1950 Mini Rookies...

Oh what's the use in resisting... I'm a sucker for throwback designs of vintage sets I collect. eBay, here I come!

Snorto~

halosfan · October 3, 2014 8:10PM

Snorto .. the 2014 Bowman 1950 Mini Rookies are awesome ... At least I didn't start posting the auto versions

Guru · October 4, 2014 3:46AM

Sold some cards recently and decided to start looking for stuff to add to my unopened collection...

Early 90's Bazooka Gum box with card...

1992 Topps Baseball Cello with gold card...

Stone193 · October 4, 2014 5:05AM

Thanx for posting the 89Bazooka box Chris. Not sure I remember them.

Also, the "Gold" cards - between the 'golds' and the 'winners?' My son went nuts that year!

halosfan · October 5, 2014 2:52AM

I sometimes go non-sports .. this one caught my eye so I grabbed it ... I'm building a diff SOA set and hope to have some good results from PSA in the coming months. But in the mean time ...

halosfan · October 6, 2014 9:56AM

Got in on a Flawless break for the hell of it ... hit two Ruby cards of so so players kept one and swapped the other for this one .... Bright idea?? Who knows but I like this one better for my collection

Still working on the mini auto but got this one as a place holder

DanBessette · October 6, 2014 12:40PM

Love the 'Nique card!

Stone193 · October 9, 2014 10:06AM

Non-sport item.

One of my "focal" areas - Sci-Fi movies from the 50s.

This was an iconic era. Sci-Fi was born out of the cold war and more or less a metaphor for our own fears of any kind of annihilation.

This is one of the better movies - Earth vs the Flying Saucers.

It took me a while to pick this one up - I had the title lobby card in my sights but it slipped thru my fingers. This one is in superb shape and next to the title card, my favorite.

halosfan · October 9, 2014 10:24AM

Mike .. That's FANTASTIC .... I love that genre too. Beautiful addition

Guru · October 14, 2014 9:15AM

While this is not a sports item, I just picked this up and wanted to share. It came out in 1990 and I was at the height of my comic collecting and reading days. My grandfather had just passed away and he was the one that took me to the corner store to get comic's. My grandmother, wise in her age, knew how much that was important to me. So we walked to the corner store and she got me this.

A few years ago, her basement flooded and many of my prized possession from my childhood were destroyed in that flood, along with this book. It came to mind the other night and I decided to go for a look and of course easily found it on Ebay. I never realized there were 2 follow up books as well, so I picked them up too.

JBrules · October 14, 2014 10:23AM

I had been looking at getting this card since I started collecting again this past February. I took me a while but I was able to finally swing a deal to land this rookie card of Johnny U.

burke23 · October 14, 2014 10:31AM

Jbrules - very nice Unitas...gorgeous 5!

JBrules · October 14, 2014 10:46AM

Burke23 thanks for noticing. I looked high and low and could not find a PSA 5 that looked any better. I was more than happy to pay top dollar because of the eye-appeal.

Stone193 · October 14, 2014 12:11PM

<< <i>I had been looking at getting this card since I started collecting again this past February. I took me a while but I was able to finally swing a deal to land this rookie card of Johnny U.

Righteous centering Dave.

I'm thinking 5 is the new 8.

JBrules · October 14, 2014 12:17PM

Mike I am all about getting the 5's when they have the eye-appeal and yes 5 is the new 8 in my book as well.

Dnice · October 17, 2014 8:58AM

This one arrived in the mail today courtesy of Matt Miller. I had one previously but I sold it off and I have been wanting another in my PC for some time now.

JBrules · October 17, 2014 9:38AM

Dnice that is a great looking Griffey and is on my bucket list. Congrats on the replacement. It is posts like these that motivate me to pull the trigger on one for my collection. Thanks for feeding the addiction!!

Stone193 · October 18, 2014 3:53AM

<< <i>A few years ago, her basement flooded and many of my prized possession from my childhood were destroyed >>

Sorry to hear that Chris.

I nothing about comics - has great graphics - very nice pickup to recapture a moment. Good show.

Stone193 · October 18, 2014 3:55AM

The Griffey's a beauty Marc.

Congratulations on your pickup.

halosfan · October 23, 2014 10:11PM

I didn't have nay cards of this QB so I picked this one up from the LCS:

Legacy Collection Row 0 #'d 14/15.

Carew29 · October 24, 2014 10:47PM

My newest pickups

Card spec'd out ok ...not trimmed

Good looking boxers there

halosfan · November 7, 2014 8:59PM

Recently back from PSA

I'm a fan of the show and just started this set:

I need to upgrade the Tom Berenger card to get an 8 or better set of the Auto's but here is the Sheen and the AROD is #/25

A few FB

The Manziel is #/25, the Sammy is #/10 and the Montana was the third one I have subbed and the first one to get a grade so finally checked that one off for the set

Dnice · November 7, 2014 10:22PM

I like that Rickey Vaughn card. Love how Topps kept the 89 design for them that year. Very neat.

halosfan · November 18, 2014 10:52PM

a few new ones

DanBessette · November 18, 2014 11:42PM

Love the Chris Mullin! Why Savage? Did he play for your favorite college team or something?

halosfan · November 19, 2014 8:59AM

Savage ... Took a flyer .... We'll see

DanBessette · November 19, 2014 9:02AM

Overall some sweet cards!

JBrules · November 19, 2014 9:52AM

I am very happy to add this Reggie rookie to my collection. Just got it back from PSA and was hoping for a 7 but I will take the 6.5. The centering on this card is hard to beat.
