Another one of the more difficult golds off the list. I have the Lincecum coming soon as well. That will pretty much just leave some of the harder to find early 2010s Poseys. For some reason I don't see them come up too often.
Seems like I’ve been buying the same junk wax for 30 years. Currently collecting MiLB sets and sf giants flagship golds / heritage variations.
I have not posted anything for a longtime. Went to the Dallas Card Show yesterday and made a few deals
Grabbed some junk wax for my very recent unopened obsession
As a Saints fan was really happy to grab this 82 Cello with the Saints TL card showing. Fist appearance of HOFer Jackson on a card (his RC was finally issues in 1984)
Very surprised to find this at the show, and I got what was a surprisingly good deal on it. 1985 Fleer cello box
Then lastly 2 PC Cards I have been wanting for some time. I am working on a Seaver run very slowly and also trying to get all 1988-1989 Biggio cards in PSA 10. So both monster ads for me
My ultra modern sub just finished. Very happy with the results. Below is a lesson for all ultra modern box rippers. I was putting all my single and insert Lamar Jacksons into a bulk lot to sell. When I was sorting the cards, I was checking the backs to see if they were serial numbered and I found this card. If I didn't check, someone would have won this for $25 along with a bunch of other Lamars. There was nothing on the front that would have made me think it is a #1/1, I just thought it was a base refractor.
I mostly collect baseball, but when I saw this card for the first time recently, I had to buy it. Agassi was a rock star back the late 80s and early 90s. I played tennis on the high school team and owned the gray denim shorts (sans the hot pink tights), as well as the Agassi Nike t-shirts and tennis shoes. Unless someone can provide pictures as irrefutable proof, I'll deny ever having a bleached blonde mullet.
I have a box of the 1991 Net Pro. I was tempted to bust it and submit but haven’t seen how they come out of packs. Has anyone ripped this box and can comment on card quality?
Was very happy to find Andruw in the mailbox today and did not have super high hopes but better than expected. Love the image on the Vlad card and he is on a nice little streak that I hope continues for my collection's sake.
Probably the nicest copy I’ve ever owned of this one ( and I’ve owned a few and have 2 as we speak! Sucker for Mick!) as it is bright clean, with crisp corners and really good centering for the issue. Looks more like a 5 or 6 in hand.

Card features 33 year old Ray Nitschke, almost at 60% on My HOF set
Great looking card, really nice surface.
I don't believe it, he probably lied about his age. They say Manute Bol was probably 10 years older from his listed age and we all know Pujols was probably 5 years older than listed.
Successful coin BST transactions with Gerard and segoja.

I remember the same being said about Fernando back in
the early 80's. Many said 10-15 years older.

The 56 is something I’ve wanted. Other is an upgrade. Happy with them both in hand!

Nice haul from the Big D…

Worked out a trade for a rookie Payton at a local card shop. I've wanted this card for a long time.
Beautiful Payton rookie. Congrats!
Awesome Sweetness. Such a classic and iconic card. Congrats on that pickup.
Anyone got one of the new PSA holders yet?

Random pickup. This is one of the few autos I’ve never had in my collection.
A couple 1978 Cowboys and an addition to my UVA basketball collection
Thank you (and Brad31). Fortunate to have found it and a dealer willing to make the trade. This one will not leave the collection..lol.
Colors pop on the Payton RC!
I traded for this at a local show.
A huge pick-up for me. My first Goudey and one of my dream cards.
Brad…
That is huge pickup! Congrats!!!
Oh Yeah., Very Nice,...
Another 61 auto and an upgrade to my 58 set:
Knocked off another rookie card from my Mt Rushmore of wrestling.

I added a big card for my 1957 Topps HOF set. It was sent to authentication. I will scan when I get it in hand.

Nice addition to my 1979 HOF autograph set
