@KendallCat - kinda both of what you mentioned. Will be a dedicated catalog so will walk away with a keepsake.

I can't wait to see your collection. Have they told you when that auction will be run?

NGS428 · September 12, 2020 1:13PM

1999 AL MVP, and one of the best defensive catchers of all time. Best caught stealing percentage of any major league catcher and 2017 HOF inductee. The other "Pudge", Ivan Rodriguez.

One of only 17 graded by SGC and PSA combined.

UFFDAH...

When will the auction take place? Any 1960s wax packs? I am looking forward to seeing part of your amazing collection! Quite an honor to have a dedicated catalog and well deserving from what I have seen from you on this site!

This was not a purchase but a return from a recent submission. Got this one signed in person earlier this year. Pop 1

stwainfan · September 12, 2020 4:33PM

For my Hall Of Fame Dallas Cowboys set. I now need just the 1972 Topps Rayfield Wright to complete the set.

KendallCat · September 12, 2020 7:22PM

A few pickups from the last few weeks - mainly 70’s and 80’s unopened.

full "w" soto too. nice.

dictoresno · September 13, 2020 10:35AM

this delivered yesterday. pop 2, none higher. I have one at PSA now but after seeing the back on this one, I doubt ill be able to out grade it. black border on the backs are tough. wouldn't surprise me if this resubbed for a 10.

blurryface · September 13, 2020 10:45AM

couple more break hits back from psa.

seems the hobby is gravitating towards premiums for "team color" variations vs some of the lower numbered print runs. so the luka blue and to /99 was huge.

mattyc_collection · September 13, 2020 11:13AM

Was really pumped to get this childhood favorite, then just saw the latest sale went for $2280 at Heritage— I'm not one to get surprised by a price but sure am here and in a good way. I'm kinda happy to see the childhood favorite cards of those of us who grew up in the 80s getting some real love.

blurryface · September 13, 2020 11:30AM

normally they say "what's up doc" but in this case doc is what's up.

mattyc_collection · September 13, 2020 6:38PM

Too centered to pass up. Checked VCP and saw only one other signed was centered.

blurryface · September 13, 2020 7:29PM

You're not playing around. Knocking them out quick. That one is solid. Like the ball point sig too.

Did you out bid me on the '52 psa 4 recently at Heritage? I already have one, but wouldn't have minded a second one.

Here's mine. They were few and far between back when. And the red corner is a biggie for me on the 53. Took a gamble on a blue flip. They seem to grade auto cards tough, imo but I think i was robbed on the grade. Hard to crack these out and resub. Another element to the auto collecting game.

mattyc_collection · September 13, 2020 9:18PM

Thanks re the 53T. Yours would definitely look at home in a higher grade holder. Was not I on the 52T at HA. That sig on that 52T was stunning yet the discoloration or blotch in the eye on that specimen would get to me. I am prepared to never wind up landing a 51B or 52T signed as they so rarely come up and so few exist to begin with. I feel lucky just to have the 59T, since so few have sold since 2008 per VCP and it is the second rarest I think of the basic issues after the 52T.

blurryface · September 13, 2020 10:23PM

Awe, you'll get them Matty. It's a marathon, not a race. You know this. I got faith.

ndleo · September 14, 2020 8:47AM

I self submitted these over a few subs. 7/8 Josh Allen PSA 10. For some reason I was on the Josh Allen/Sam Darnold train every time I opened Optic regardless of which configuration or where I bought the boxes. I had probably 20 of each in various versions from all of the Optic I broke.

After that classic choke job by my Lions, I might have to join Bills Mafia. Go Josh!

hankcaddy · September 14, 2020 1:15PM

Added my 10th black to my Phillies team set

lwehlers · September 14, 2020 1:28PM

three more psa 9 hall of fame cards for my 83 set.

stwainfan · September 14, 2020 5:22PM

If 37 years ago you had to guess which card here would be of a HoFer in 2020, no one would have been right.

i included rose to my set because he is my opinion. i have all three of his cards in psa 9.

mattyc_collection · September 14, 2020 6:52PM

Never thought I’d buy an OC card but these signed cards are a fascinating realm. I was looking at the 1958 Mick and it occurred to me that the layout of this card won’t really aesthetically accommodate a wide, dark sharpie auto. So I looked on VCP and sure enough saw only one or two I liked— and decided ballpoint was definitely the move for my eye, as it wouldn’t consume the central image.

mattyc_collection · September 14, 2020 7:30PM

Indeed these are crazy times! I promise if I ever see a centered ballpoint ‘58 I will upgrade

blurryface · September 14, 2020 7:33PM

Thats exactly what I was trying to get at w these auto cards. Sometimes, scratch that, most of the times you gotta push your normal criteria to the side and pull the trigger, as you may never even have the chance to upgrade.

UFFDAH · September 15, 2020 6:50AM

Recent pickup of the Minister of Defense - REGGIE WHITE.

Fierce Defensive End/competitor and the catalyst to the resurgence of the Packers.

Other HOF'ers shown are Walter Payton and Andre Tippett (BACK). Roger Craig wasn't too shabby himself.

great unopened pack thankfully the white was not covered up.

yankeesman · September 15, 2020 4:29PM

After a long hiatus on being able to add to my 500 Home Run ball autograph collection I was able to pick up one of the remaining Big 3. Super stoked to be able to add a Double X.

@DM23HOF ...I never thought I'd see you buy an O/C card..... what is this world coming to? A crushing blow and disappointing indeed.

I am quitting collecting. Matt with a card that is not centered. Here we thought Covid was bad but this is even worse.

Sorry to hear you are quitting.

Please send me your Mickey Mantle cards.

A pack rip back from grading. My favorite image and card of the great Gale Sayers.

rtimmer · September 17, 2020 10:54AM

Got a PSA submission back and hit the jackpot I think on this one? I believe it’s the only 10, anyone have any idea of its value these days? I know the other Shaq finest moments auto refractor card in the set sold for $2k a few months ago.

stwainfan · September 17, 2020 11:29AM

I got Rich.

ssdawg77 · September 17, 2020 1:33PM

A few more for my 52 set.

I think you got goosed.

lwehlers · September 17, 2020 4:04PM

just got this one today.

NGS428 · September 17, 2020 6:24PM

The Iron Man. 2,632 consecutive games played, 19 time all star, 2 time AL MVP, 3,000+ hits. I am surprised this card can be had for less than $100 in a PSA 9.

ndleo · September 17, 2020 7:26PM

I don’t gamble in Vegas as much I used to. I threw down a few bucks to buy 16 of these Rolen rookie cards. He had a better career than I realized.

flatfoot816 · September 18, 2020 4:34AM

Ok I'll play too...always wanted 1 of these and figured the Fritsch Vault was as good as it gets with provenance. Timing was right---
