Let's get the baseball out of the way. I think Arenado is undervalued so I grabbed his Update 10 before it gets to be any more expensive.
On to the main course. I love the 2012 Crusade Prizm set. I think it is one of the best looking sets Panini has produced. Finding these cards is getting hard. I got a good value on the graded Red and I am hopeful the raw ones will all join their compatriot in 10 holders after a few months.
Blue & Gold (unnumbered)
Red & Gold /99
Purple & Gold /49
A few more cards for my Steph Curry PC. The Kaboom is a very popular insert with a decent legacy/history for Panini. The other two cards were generously gifted to me by a member on another board. They are both serial numbered to Curry's jersey number, 30.
I'm very excited to be the top bidder on this 1963 PSA 7 card of Bart Starr. This is a nice upgrade from my PSA 5. It's hard to find decent centering on these 1963 cards.

I knew Tippett probably wouldn't move the meter, and probably 1980's Donruss won't either, but here's a recent Yaz pickup. Please excuse dust on the scanner.
From a design standpoint, one of my favorite sets. Definitely a guilty pleasure with a lot of HOFers.
@DBesse27 thanks for sharing your info on the crack out TTMs. Do you try to protect the card with a holder of any kind with your TTM. I've been thinking about trying to cut out a window for the auto in a card saver 1 and attach the card saver to something stiff.

In my experience, old players struggle to get cards in and out of cardsavers. I do a penny sleeve, top loader, with a small piece of blue painters tape over the opening. I generally receive the cards back the same way.
I recently made a trade with the owner of the #1 Yaz master set, a buddy with whom I've made several trades in the past. In that trade I acquired the 6 items below. Notes at the bottom.
Very pleased with the centering on the Bazooka stamp. On the SSPC Superstars card, I'd had little trouble adding the regular 75 SSPC in PSA 10, so I wondered why I was struggling to find the Superstars card. I did a little research and found out the Superstars set was a mail-away. While I'm not sure that fully explains it, the scarcity is very real. Here's what I found:
Regular 1975 SSPC Yaz: 133 PSA graded copies, 110 of which are PSA 9 or 10
1975 SSPC Yaz: Only 16 PSA graded copies. No PSA 10's and only one PSA 9. The last PSA 8 that sold went for $100 over a year ago.
So with those stats, I was happy to snag any slabbed, cease-free copy. In hand, I think the rubber band stains in both side borders add a little character. But I'm biased.

Just thought I’d share my step by step process for TTM Autos which may help!
I use a penny, sleeve, a Cardsaver I and an extra large penny sleeve. So what I do first is,
I cut out the spot in the penny sleeve where I want (hope) the signer to sign the card:
After I carefully slide the card in the penny sleeve, I put it in the card saver I where I want the card, and draw an outline where the card is going to be and cut that box out.
You’ll notice that there is a rather jagged section at the top of the card. No need to worry. After you cut the section out you can easily trim the portion where you first cut in to make it nice and smooth:
Finally slide the card in, carefully, so your boxes line up nicely. I send them in the jumbo penny sleeve since they fit so nicely, and I’ve always kindly asked to send them back in it if they graciously sign my card. If you include your own sharpie, be sure to use a fast-drying one. I’ve never had a problem with autos smearing, but that’s not to say it couldn’t happen. Now not only is my card protected but the signer doesn’t have to mess with taking the card out and they can just sign and send. Easy Peezy! Anyways, hope this helps some!
I waited to get all of these MJ Poster Cards in hand before posting. I was a bit bummed that the Wings has a thumb crease in the top left corner but I pretty much got it for free so i can't complain too much.

Impossible to find in decent condition, this is the only copy ever to be graded by PSA. I actually have two raw, that if graded, both would 7. Picked this one up cheaper than having to get my own graded.
A pickup from earlier this year. It took me several attempts over the past couple years to land a PSA 10 Contender Brees. This one happens to currently be a POP 3 Double 10.

Some of you who have been here for years, or some who are also members of SCN, will know that they sometimes do "autograph drafts" over there. I did one recently and this was my haul. It was 30 picks per person, but you can make trades, and I made a couple of 2 for 1 or 3 for 1 deals, so I netted 26 autos I really wanted. In hand, the Jim Calhoun auto was badly smudged, so I didn't even scan it, but there were 25 signed cards I'm keeping for my PC. I scanned them in pairs when I received them, and I won't show all the commons here, but here are some of the best or my favorites from the batch. There are 4 HOFers shown and they're all headed to PSA eventually.

Picked these up for my 71T raw set. They are nicer than then versions currently in my binder.
I'm 16 cards away from completing my raw set. I have about 20 cards that I'm not really satisfied with that need upgrading.

Where is the stripe on that card, or had Wild Card stopped that by 1992?
Yep, they had stripe cards in this set. This is the base, so no stripe.
