    Thanks Dan, sort of, just very slowly. It's one of those projects that I don't spend a lot of time or money on but when one comes up that seems to fit what I value for eye appeal and stays under comps I pick them up.

    Collecting anything and everything relating to Roger Staubach

    I almost bought a wax case, but I chose this instead.......takes up less room

    Also, not likely to find one of those in a case.

    Seems like quite a bit came back from PSA/DNA recently- coincidence?
    Forgive the skittles (I'm diabetic I don't eat them) but somebody busted the box open as it apparently was burning a hole in somebody's hands :s

    @dictoresno by the way if you don't mind me asking what did that set you back? Been selling my PC on and offline of Mac and haven't had 5 minutes to gauge the dual auto/rookie card business

    That Ryan 1991 UD was a tough pull back in the day. Very nice!

    Mike - so happy for you. Could not have happened to a nicer guy. Hope to meet you at the National one of these years. That’s one of those “grades be dammed”. I just want it slabbed. Congrats!

    Here's what I hope you'll find as a fun story?

    I bought a few boxes of 2016 TH highs on sale (less an 90 bucks per)

    I pulled a few really nice Merrifield RCs (no 10s) and when I was down to the last box with only a few packs left?

    I thought to myself: "wouldn't it be cool to pull a Trout auto?"

    Well (now I know this sounds like a "bull" story) - I open the pack and this pops up! Ya can't even make this kind of stuff up.

    I believe I'll send it in and get the auto graded since it's one of his stronger autos - IMO - he tends to sign on the light side. The card is not a 10 under the loupe.

    Congrats Mike!!! What a great feeling to land the Trout auto.

    Shoeless Joe T202. New favorite non-Pirate card.

    Collector of 1976 Topps baseball for some stupid reason.
    Collector of Pittsburgh Pirates cards for a slightly less stupid reason.

    For several years in the mid70s-early 80s (1975-82 I have found), team checklist sheets were offered, usually through wrapper mail-in offers. The sheets have a lighter stock/white back. It would appear, w/o seeing the back, that this is one of those cards hand cut from one of those sheets.

    I collect Steve Garvey, Dodgers and signed cards. Collector since 1978.

    I see. I've never (knowingly) seen these before. Are they numbered the same as the regular Topps cards?

    Paid way too much for a kicker.

    Great pick up! I mean, he's probably going to be in the Hall.

    Earlier this year I was thinking of picking one up (I already have a signed copy) and was really surprised at the prices at that time. Even the raw cards.

    Yea same, but it’s his only rookie card where as others from his era have 20 plus and there are only 80 10’s.

    Awesome! I have a couple signed cards of his. They are the 70-71 Topps leaders cards also signed by Esposito and Bucyk. I was going to set up a group card submission for him soon. I have a few more to send in.

    just under $400 which is way more than the previous sale of a similar one. but the auto on this one is way nicer than the others ive seen so to me, it was worth it. and yes, 4SC had subbed a few.
