I just busted a "hobby" box...
Just the hits:
Acuna Boxtopper
Kluber, Machado #/250
Bader Green Auto #/99
Soto auto
I think I'll quit while I'm ahead :)
Probably should have expected this but just sold a lot of Acuna Heritage High Number cards and yup 30 seconds after the auction ended... Sends a cancelation request...

It's been a great year for me so far getting sets completed.
I just got in the last card I needed for the 2003 Leaf Number of My Back set, the Andy Pettitte.
Each card is numbered to 50 and with most cards going on 15 years old, they don't show up too often.
Thanks!
This one really wasn't all that hard, no SP's, just needed to finally buckle down, wait for the cards to show up, and actually finish it. Got the Bauer in today after starting the set way back in 2001 with the Fred Lynn as my very first Red Sox GU.
The Puckett was unreleased and...
Well it's taken about 17 years but it's done....
Just got the Foxx in yesterday.
Who would have thought and 8 card set could be so tough?
The Williams, Ruth, and Foxx are all Sp'd to 100 copies and are so tough to find.
I only need the SP's of Yaz and Clemens for the BoxSigs set to...
I've recently started picking up autos of obscure Red Sox players from Topps Heritage that for whatever reason, I nearly completely avoided in the past. I don't particularity collect Heritage all that much (like some people go nuts over it) more than any other product.
Most of these guys hardly...

I knew it would happen eventually but I'm still crushed.... :(
I've never had any luck with any Stadium Club blasters in the past but there was one left so I grabbed it.
I was super pleased to get an auto...
But also pulled this...
Didn't know how rare it was until I checked the odds when I got home... 1:1,996 packs!
I think I'll quit while I'm ahead.
Finally found some Platinum!
All told I pulled the following:
2 base Judges
Purple #/250: Next Generation Leody Taveras, TJ Friedl, Antonio Senzatela, Stephen Piscotty
And these....
#16/25
#01/35
Pretty please.
Thanks for the look!
And that it's going to a loving home....

I wanted it so badly but couldn't be a player after it went over a grand. I thought it would...
Well it's taken nearly 17 years but this small 9 card set is finally done!
The Williams, Pedro, and Fisk are all SP'd to 100 copies and are extremely tough to find.
I now only need three cards to finish the master set. Two BoSox Sigs, Yaz and Clemens and the Jimmie Foxx Splendid Splinters...
I honesty thought that I'd never get here but I have finally finished my 2001 Fleer Game Time Famers Lumber set. It's only 30 cards but some of these have been absolutely impossible to find.
I won't bore everyone with all the details but when this set came out in 2001 I was a very broke...
Any experts on this set? I have the below cards from the set but I was wondering if there are any other pieces that anyone's seen....
Baseball
On Deck Circle
Base
Green Monster
Let me know what else you've seen or show off what you've got!
Started out with a few packs from an open box and pulled this...
Not great but happy to have gotten an auto.
Got a blue bordered Gregory Polanco and Phil Rizzuto in the next few packs.
Went on to the full box and a few packs in pulled this...
Happy to get one of my favorite Padres but not...
Hey all, anyone have an idea on the print runs for the Desert Shield parallels and if any of the autos are shortprinted?
Archives has been good to me so far and I was wondering.
Thanks!
