Thanks. Will take a Rookie Roll Call in a 9 any day. Havent seen a Faulk that high yet but would love to own one. Its a strange material, dont think they age well.
Wimbledon is just three weeks away and I just landed these two historic rare tickets. 1981 Men's Final - John McEnroe's 1st Wimbledon title. Its the only one graded by PSA. 1981 was also the last year that the Men's Final was played on a Saturday. And 1993 Men's Final - Pete Sampras 1st Wimbledon title. One of only two graded by PSA.
Had 3 subs that all interestingly popped close to the same time. This was the one I cared most about and was very happy. I saw this as a situation most of us have experienced. I think I got the grader who was in a good mood. Love when that happens. Surpassed my expectations just a bit which does not happen often. Doubted I would get a PSA 10 from 1980 Topps in my life again, even if it was a cheap high pop one. The Bochy is a POP 1 so love that.
Like a few others here, I also collect comics. I rarely post comic related acquisitions here for obvious reasons, but this is a book I have been looking for in super nice shape for over a decade. Stoked to finally obtain it!

The first time I ever saw this, I began an immediate search that has lasted almost two years, so entranced was I by the image. This particular example is the 5x7; I’m not positive but I think there is also a larger one.

My boy is into non-sport, which means I am getting into non-sport. I found this at a show this weekend for a decent price. I have to admit, I am excited to add this to my collection just as much as any sports box I purchased. 5 hits per box!
I remember watching this series after school but then they stopped showing them.

You have an obsession w/9s….more beautiful cards!
Card & comic wise, slow year here thus far. Drexler! Scan. Welp, I'm awful scanning refractors. I'm equally awful taking pics of refractors

Those are all nice. The Murray is magnificent. Very nice 8 and great auto placement. Congrats.
Thank you...It was a fortunate LCS find. The centering and blue box condition really grabbed my attention.
I just got around to selecting the cards for my 2023 TSC set and wanted to share this one.
It's not in there with the iconic 71T but I really appreciate the concentration in Munson's eyes.
Did he "nail" Garvey?
Here's what may be the play in the 1977 WS - Rivers connects with Munson - Garvey out! (he disagreed).
Yanks won game 1 - 4-3
And 1 more photo - what a play - ump looked out of position to make the call IMO.
One for my Bech run.
Also a Bunning card.

My ‘48 Sain I’ve had for years finally had his famous friend join him (kind of) in my collection.
Cub crossover from a damaged PSA slab.
One more for the Bench run.

Another Derek Sanderson Rookie for my collection. Nicest looking 5 I've ever seen. Can't wait to get my hands on it.
Had a nice 9, but just had to upgrade.
1986 Topps in high grade are just beautiful.

Love the 1980 Simmons.
Thanks. I do love the way that card looks. The color. Ted all geared up. The all-star banner. If I could just get that fish eye out the banner.
For the 61 auto set:
Just arrived at my door and signed for:
Just won this to go with the regular issue.
Here are a couple of original rookie photos of Jim Rice and Carlton Fisk that I recently had graded.
A Very Nice 10...

A couple of tough Wakefield refractors.
The bottom border of the 2004 Black Refractor isn't chipped, it's just the way the light hits it.

Awesome. Loved that show. Where I live it was replaced with Banana Splits and we were all so mad. Hadn’t thought of Battle of the Planets in decades.
hey Brad...
Banana Splits = BS...
Was it an actual upgrade or do you still prefer the 9?
That '86 Puckett is a fabulous card of that era when it's nice!
