Fresh from the mailbox, a couple 52 Wheaties golfers that can get numeric grades and a couple new additions to my raw Brees collection. Thanks @DBesse27 !

dad2cl3 · January 8, 2021 2:02PM

What was once lost was found! USPS recovered the package.

Added another Mookie. Need to find a nice '81 Donruss now.

stwainfan · January 8, 2021 3:29PM

Got these in today.

Dutch! 3x All-Star, WS Champ

orioles93 · January 8, 2021 8:10PM

Couple of recent rookie pickups. Added the Fox to the HOF Rookie Registry, and in my opinion an undervalued Trout rookie.

brad31 · January 8, 2021 10:01PM

Really nice Nellie Fox - congrats!

Nice card. I like the caricature on the back. I don't even remember Front Row being involved in hockey.

They tried to get licensing so they made cards and brought them to the Winter Expo but the NHL didn't grant them it so they were destroyed.

Trying to find a crease and still nothing yet, some light scratches and the white bottom corner appears slightly discolored. Black corner comes to a point, retains significant gloss and the centering and color are +++ for this issue. Glad I finally landed one and did not have to pay 7 money for eye appeal.

I'm glad he got a ring before his playing career ended. Beloved player in Philadelphia.

Very solid 9. Nice card! I agree on the 81 Donruss. 81 Donruss is mostly forgettable, but they did hit on a nice Mookie and Raines.

Not the most exciting hockey card, but I’m working on a PSA 10 OPC base card run for Neely. Happy to add it.

This Neely card and Gretzky’s rookie are similar action shots.

NGS428 · January 9, 2021 12:51PM

4x All-Star, 2nd in MVP voting in 1989 when he led the league in slugging, RBI and extra base hits. One of the more memorable swings I have ever seen. Solid 20 Year career.

Some may remember this one from the 95 ALDS... Sierra and Donny Baseball back to back. Kinda funny, but I just bought a Benes Tiffany rookie today too..

Was crushed when the Mariners won that series after Mattingly finally made it to the playoffs after missing them in 1994 due to the players strike.

Another day another 61 Fleer. This is an upgrade to my 8.

Jason, I was a huge Mariners fan back then, so I was certainly on the other side of the coin. Game 5 ALDS yielded Griffey’s most memorable play in my eyes. That series is one for the ages!

Adding another HOF RC.

1951WheatiesPremium · January 11, 2021 12:47PM

It is so very beautiful, he is so very young, I filled one hole on the Master list and ebay bucks helped to make the price very reasonable.

DBesse27 · January 11, 2021 1:28PM

Nice Mick!

I picked up a huge card for my Patriots Team HOF registry set. Richard Seymour is the most recent inductee in the team Hall of Fame and is a shoo-in for the Pro Football HOF, either this year or next. This card wasn't cheap, especially considering it's raw, but these are hard to come by. I've already shipped this out to PSA, piggybacking on another member's sub. A couple of surface nicks will hurt the technical grade, but even in a PSA 7 this is still a great card, and a key piece of my finishing this project. Also checks off one of my 2021 goals listed on this site! My registry set will be (at least) 25/28 complete once this returns from Cali

Rofles · January 12, 2021 11:23AM

Got a HUGE card in today that I can’t wait to get in for grading! Might be my new favorite card in my PC!

clarke442 · January 12, 2021 11:47AM

Finally finished off the Team Set

stwainfan · January 12, 2021 1:48PM

I finished my Billy Williams set.

Congrats on completing the Williams run. The ‘62 is my favorite of his and one I would like to get someday. Yours has nice brown borders without a lot of white on the edges. Great pickup!

Love the '62 design!
Billy is an underrated HOFer, IMO. His '61 rookie has been getting more attention

My sealed case has been converted.

Introducing (20) BBCE FASC 1982 Topps Baseball Wax Boxes adorning the Fritsch Vault Sticker!!

My plan is to let these simmer in the crock pot for a bit....

1951WheatiesPremium · January 13, 2021 12:40PM

Fixed a glaring hole. This guy was such an important part of the Yankees dynasty in the 1990s. It's rather amazing he had to wait this long for a solo card that was not an insert or set within a set while managing the Yankees. There's just two of these at the grade right now, if you're scoring at home...

With Chrome cards, usually photo's are better than scan, so:

Another card in from a recent very uncharacteristic spending spree

NGS428 · January 14, 2021 12:18PM

No 90's rookie card collection is complete without the man who had so much hype, can't miss phenom out of High School. The top piece of the 4 aces in the 1990 draft for the A's.

Hard to find one of his cards, there are only 5 total of his base rookie cards graded across all cards in 91, hence the PSA 8.

Fun fact: Todd told the braves he would not play for them, they were drafting first in the 1990 draft... Due to that the Braves drafted Larry Jones Jr. Some know him as Chipper...

dad2cl3 · January 14, 2021 2:11PM

Another for my All-Time Eagles set.

Jason

emar · January 14, 2021 5:46PM

Attention shoppers!
Great cards in the junk wax bin!
Everything else too expensive

Another shout out to 4SC. Never had a bad transaction.
Great card selection. Go directly to their website for a discounted price & skip the sales tax.
Free shipping over $150 I think.

Three more player set additions/upgrade in today. The bad tooth on this Cannon has always bothered me, especially with him becoming a dentist after he retired.

DBesse27 · January 15, 2021 10:30AM

Great cards!

mintonlypls · January 15, 2021 2:52PM

Recent pick up...

jfkheat · January 15, 2021 3:14PM

My recent upgrades and addition to a couple of my sets. The Scoops and Gentile are from last month but I'm just now getting them scanned. The Stand-up Powell is a pop 2 with only 2 higher. When I started the Scoops I didn't realize how tough several of the cards are to find in PSA 9. I'm thinking about picking up the last 12 card I need in PSA 8 or 8.5 just to complete the set. I would still upgrade them if I found 9s.

Great cards! I am a Cannon fan also. I actually had an opportunity once to sit down and look through a couple of binders of AFL cards with two of Cannon's teammates, Ben Davidson and Tom Keating. Tom came across this card and the two immediately began a good-natured roasting of Cannon that I WISH I had recorded. They both loved the guy, but were more than happy to pile on him about not wearing his bridge for the Topps photographer.
