I received these in the last few days. With the addition of the Pinson Stand-up I now need five cards to finish the set. The two Red Heart cards are upgraded for my set. The PSA 9 Hegan is a tough one. There are only four 9s and no 10s.

Got some great bumps in my most recent submissions, which is just like getting brand new cards. Very pleased with the Yzerman especially.

That Yzerman is outstanding. Congrats on all of those.
Thanks for the props, jbrules and slum22. One of my favourite cards from the 80's as well. I always liked in action over posed or standing shots and when Yzerman was ripping it up in the late 80's and early 90's this card was gold.

He's always been my favorite player. Sometimes I wonder if he drew a hooking call on that play pictured in the RC.
I'd say the Caps player in the photo would have to have Yzerman in a headlock to get the refs attention in the 80's. "Water skiing" was pretty common. If you go back and watch 80's hockey, its incredible how much interference, holding, and stick work was allowed. No matter, that hockey was so entertaining.
A short print rookie card of the world's best all around SS (IMHO).
One of the last 80's Eddie Murray cards I needed for my Basic Set. Not a tough card at all on any level, just a card I hadn't gotten around to adding until now:
Always looking for tougher PSA 10's of Nolan Arenado, Alex Bregman, Mookie Betts, Francisco Lindor, and Mike Trout.
Looked at many 8’s and 8.5’s. All had the spot that is so distracting and centering issues.
This one, is decently centered, nice color and no Macbeth spot at all. Holder is scratched to hell, not sure of a bump, however think it will look good in a new holder.
I’ve wanted this card for quite some time...it’s a beast to find in high grade, and it’s 1 of 9 that psa has deemed worthy of calling “mint”...totally jazzed to land this one!

Congrats on landing the Henderson that is a sweet looking card. OPC is very underrated in my book.
Opeechee is so undervalued in mlb card collecting that is ... vintage especially .. I love the gorgeous black bordered ‘71 opeechee issue .. the backs are yellow with a photo ... one day I think they head way higher IMO.
Off eBay I picked up this Dugout Lineup card (written in manager Earl Weaver's hand) from Cal Ripken Jr.'s rookie season of 1982...I had to do a little research to determine it was from the game of 08/02/82 vs. Boston

Picked this up last week as an addition to my 1986 Donruss Highlights PSA 10 set. I thought this would make a nice addition to the set, and thought the card presented beautifully.
Always looking for OPC "tape intact" baseball wax boxes, and 1984 OPC baseball PSA 10's for my set. Please PM or email me if you have any available.
@Gemyanks10 that card is something special ... the wonderful thing about baseball is time will forgive and he will be appreciated for what and where he fits in the game ... his place will be understood. Baseball is a great game for that ... villains are humanized over time.

Thank you! I can’t help but forgive them. I grew up watching these guys, and the memories I had watching these guys play, and collecting their cards as a kid outweighs the negativity surrounding them.

When I was a kid I hoped that I'd find a Tony Dorsett in every pack of cards I opened. 1981 is one of my favorite cards of his, glad to add this one to my collection.

@Kid4hof03 ... that photo of Tony is a little alarming to me as he is going thru some serious post career mental health issues ...it’s kinda like watching him deteriorate in front of me ... I remember that 99 yarder he ran Against Minnesota on Monday night like it was yesterday ... he was splendid indeed.

On the Red Hearts - really nice James!
That's a set I wished I had done years ago.
My favorite pickups from the Philly Show.
Picked this up for $17.95 Dlvd from 4SC

Wow! A bump to a 10? Congrats. The Yzerman RC is probably my favorite card from that decade.

This classic arrived in today’s mail
I like this kid and his potential:
And another one for the stash:

Finally back from PSA!
Purchased these all in the past couple weeks and finally got them all in hand for my future sub pile.

You guys have been busy. A lot of really nice cards have been posted in the last few days.
This 63 Fleer is an upgrade for my set.

Sir Charles, need 11 more in 9 for the set. Last of the stars
Picked up a nice '64 FB wrapper...three 5 cent wrappers away from a high grade 1956-80 run...
Also, saw this card in White Plains today and had to buy it because it's literally the nicest '73 I have ever seen, and a Met to boot...

Picked up these type 1's
Twins both FASC
really appear to be case fresh
Nice pair of 85 boxes. Brings back good memories- first box I ripped as a kid. You storing or opening?
I picked up this guy for my 48 Bowman set. It has been tough finding one decently centered.
Thanks, definitely storing on a shelf. Like the FASC
It’s not possible to have enough Aaron judge RCs. If you ever get stuck somewhere or lost .. having a judge with you can come in handy
Need to get myself a quality scanner but very pleased with these three purchases.
I love the Paige and the Bowman Aaron. Thanks to everyone who has shared.
Two more 1963 Fleer cards were delivered today, one new addition to my set and one upgrade.

Got another Munson today
I see many of us have the imminent mlb season card fever!
Added two /5 Judges for the collection. Flip Stock and Gold Refractor.
