Someone got to start the thread! Fun pickup for a few bucks: Kyle Petty IP auto.

Wow. My favorite older set "59". What is wrong with that card to get an 8. That's as good of a 59 Mays that I have ever seen.
WOW!!!
Looks like the lower right corner has a tiny nibble on that beauty. No stray ink, absolutely gorgeous.
A gembryo is the early developmental stage of a perfect card.
Whoa. Now that's a Willie Mays!
Just a beautiful card.
Chris…
The ‘59 Mays deserves an MBA Diamond! Congrats on the pickup…
This is the first coin op trade stimulator non-sport in my collection.
“The New Deal,” circa-1935
Nickel-operated countertop trade stimulator, identified on its accompanying key tag as Pace Manufacturing.
This compact Art Deco machine features three fruit reels, a side gum vendor, and a glass-front jackpot compartment. It's about 9X13" and fully operational.
Machines like this combined candy vending with a chance at a winning combination, although the gum didn’t necessarily keep them clear of gambling laws.
Beautifully restored, with a bright polished metal finish and carefully repainted details, this one also works well. It came with a letter documenting the $600 restoration—a handsome piece of Depression-era coin-op history that I’m excited to add to the collection! From Morphy's AH.
I keep adding recent graded PSA 6's of my fav cards...lol

Love slot machines! Nice pickup…
Considering Fanatics/Topps price gouging model - was going to pick up a 2026 Chrome update jumbo box then saw a $450 pre-order tag! Yikes - decided this path made much more sense.
Nice finds from a small collection. Tebow patch auto /299. Tebow cracked ice(?) rookie /139. Brady patch /99. The Iverson Z-Force is kind of beat.
This came today..
Thanx Monte!
Latest...and last pickup. I plan to enjoy my collection (55-card collection with 37/55 MBA Diamonds...15 Gold, 21 Silver, 1 Bronze) for quite awhile. Here is my collection on Collector Focus...

That's a beauty Monte.
And I don't have to tell you that it's a totally under rated card/player.
Card show pickup for my '58 HOF project.
That's a great Steve Carlton rookie card, Monte. And thanks for sharing the link - a truly great collection that you can enjoy without being overwhelmed by hundreds or thousands of cards.
Thanks, Dan! It was a long journey…even having a run of a 5-cent wax packs from the 1960s at one point…then consolidating starting two (2) years ago from 141 cards to the end at 55 cards…sold off cards to fund a few iconic cards in my collection.
I’m very pleased to add this one; a really beautiful example.

Monte thanks for the link to your collection. I like them all but my favorites are the Aaron and Clemente rookies and the 63 Lou Brock. Seeing him with the Cubs cap and the blue color on the card just makes it a great looking card and underrated i believe.
I do think you need a Brett rookie ! 😁
Darin,
The ‘63 is one of Lou Brock’s most beautiful cards. Also, the 1963 is my favorite design. I am surprised the Brock did not receive a 10… stunning color, focus and spot-on centering with chip-free nameplate. Thanks for the comments!

Got this upgrade today from the authenticator:
Review finally popped on this one, and have a couple of extra 56 Mantle’s I can move now to upgrade for another 57 Mantle.
First submission results in a couple of years. They were received on 6/5 and grades popped today. I was hoping for a 5 on Williams and 7s on the Schmidts but may have received a little luck on the Bradshaw, not too far off and accurately graded I believe.
For Sale
Very impressive results Stoney.
Is that Bradshaw's RC?
I picked up what I think is a 60s pennant as a backdrop to my Sammy Baugh tribute; BTW - Sammy did play AA BB in the Cardinals ML system - 1938.
Love that Killebrew.
Those 74 Schmidts are so hard to find in high grades. Always thought he seemed like such a young kid in that shot.
It is.
All of those cards except the Williams were pulled from raw sets I have. The sets are pretty uniform across the board as far as condition, so I may submit others if prices and turn around times ever improve.
For Sale
Finally finished my complete run of all the original Star Wars figures from the 1970s and 1980s. Yak face was the last one I needed. He arrived yesterday. I sold off various other Star Wars stuff I had and did not care about to fund him.
More selected returns from PSA. I have several autographed hockey sets I collect and like to get the stars autographs authenticated. Here's a few of my recent returns...
