Thanks for sharing for the article. You have an amazing collection and should be proud if it.

Very cool collection! Glad you are a part of this forum.

Nice article. Congratulations!

NGS428 · April 25, 2019 10:14AM

Amazing collection and great article!

lamontcarter · April 25, 2019 10:35AM

Beautiful collection and wonderful article.

Dpeck100 · April 25, 2019 11:48AM

One of the best things about this forum is getting to see some of the cards that end up in the SMR in real time and UFFDAH has posted so many show stopping cards since he has joined.

Great article and wishing you continued success.

PROMETHIUS88 · April 25, 2019 3:58PM

I want to hate you out of jealousy, but I just can't. Solid collection. Have loved that brown since you announced the upgrade from PSA! Great stuff brother!

handyman · April 25, 2019 4:40PM

Awesome stuff. Love the Norm Van Brock PSA 8.5 . Always thought that was a cool card!

LOTSOS · April 25, 2019 5:08PM

Very cool article and amazing collection. I REALLY like that Orr!

Stone193 · April 25, 2019 6:27PM

Congratulations Chris.

Just got my SMR. Look forward to reading tomorrow at Star Bucks.

ldferg · April 25, 2019 7:03PM

Great article. Love the Batman #1. Sweet.

KendallCat · April 25, 2019 7:12PM

Very nice write up - congrats on the well deserved pub UFFDAH.

Thanks for the link in the OP and congrats to Chris. It's always fun to see when he posts a new pickup. For some reason I am smitten with his '52 Bowman Stan Musial, and it's nice to see the group photos in the article.

trapperlad · April 25, 2019 7:39PM

Chris, awesome collection and SMR article. The Mantle looks fantastic.
Congrats, Tony

UFFDAH · April 25, 2019 8:28PM

I'm a little speechless right now. I noticed this post this AM while sitting in my Turkey hunting blind. I was out just for fun this AM watching and listening because I got a nice Tom Gobbler yesterday. I'm a card Dork and a hunting Dork. I really appreciate everyone on this forum because you are all true to the hobby and appreciate the passion. Not many have the fire in the belly...BUT WE do!!! And that's all that matters!!! Keep collecting and enjoy the "hunt"!!!

maddux69 · April 25, 2019 9:18PM

Congratulations to a well deserved member. Great looking collection, especially the signed Aaron

BLUEJAYWAY · April 25, 2019 10:47PM

Exceptional Stan Musial example.

Stone, pretty sure Star Bucks(Starbucks) is one word, LOL. Chris, unbelievable collection!! Over the years have you kept a record of what you paid for the cards? I would bet your "investment" has outgained any other type investments!!

BPorter26 · April 26, 2019 6:44AM

Awesome article, it looks like you and I started around the same time collecting as a kid.

Frozencaribou · April 26, 2019 7:38AM

Great article. Would love to see the PSA 10 Ken Dryden rookie if you'd like to share here!

thunderdan · April 26, 2019 9:41AM

Chris, you have a great collection, and it's great to see your excitement and passion.

Gilbey · April 26, 2019 4:16PM

Really cool article. Congrats on the recognition of your collection

PatsGuy5000 · April 27, 2019 8:18AM

Awesome collection and great article!

UFFDAH · April 27, 2019 8:21AM

@ElvisP - big paper gain thus far.

@Frozencaribou - will post a pic of the Dryden when I get back to the office. I think the Dryden rookie is not only a great hockey card but an epic card in all of collecting. It's a must have card in my opinion.

Very nice story. I enjoy reading about our board members and am in awe of their cards and pursuits. Nicely done by the author too.

UFFDAH · April 29, 2019 6:38AM

Top of the morning!! Here is the Dryden as requested. It has since been re-holdered. This is the scan image from PWCC.

Frozencaribou · April 29, 2019 9:01AM

Wow. Most impressed by the lack of print spots on the image and yellow background. What a beautiful card! Thanks for sharing.

That is a Beast of a 10!!! Wowsers.

akuracy503 · April 29, 2019 3:15PM

Great collection Chris (UFFDAH)
I have always wondered how one would consistently acquire these gems. I assume most of these cards in Gem Mint 10's rarely hit the market. You must do a lot of homework and networking to find them!

flatfoot816 · April 30, 2019 11:31AM

great story congrats Chris

BriYo79 · May 4, 2019 5:31PM

Great write up and beautiful collection. Just out of curiosity, what is the alteration on the 52 Mantle?

Huskies11 · May 5, 2019 5:36PM

Congrats @UFFDAH ! I read the article not knowing it was you, but it makes sense now. It was really refreshing to see someone with a collection similar to my own (all over the place). Keep bringing the heat in the monthly pickup threads,

vettfanatic · May 9, 2019 3:28PM

Wow awesome collection Chris.!!! It's good to see a fellow collector in Wisconsin and especially one with such high end items. Keep up the good work.

Jeff

Please allow me to ask a very serious question... Why the heck do you need a hunting blind to catch a freakin' turkey??

Congrats UFFDAH!
