Very happy with my Ripkens. I've been meaning to get them encased for a couple of years (now I've got all his 4 major RCs signed--got them done through his company a few years ago). This is my 2nd time sending in those Bryants. Got them all at Cubs ST back in 2015. Sent them last year, they were...
Hi folks,
I can't find how to check on the status on an order on their website. The last time I submitted a PSA/DNA order was during the old, old $10 special they had a few years ago (5+ years ago?). I seem to remember being able to input the number on my submission form to get updates, but I...
Hey everyone,
I think I made a post like this last year, but I'll try again. Every year a friend and I go to Spring Training in AZ. I come back with a little over 100 signed rookie cards for my collection. Anyway, to prepare for the trip I:
put together rosters of the teams we will see
comb...
4 days in Arizona last weekend: 152 autographed rookie cards. The highlights were Darvish, Mattingly, and Trammell. I get most of my autographed rookie cards from these yearly ST trips.
I collect autographed rookie cards. I get a lot signed each year at Spring Training and for the more inaccessible guys I save up and buy a PSA/DNA autographed RC every now and then. I'm proud to have these in my collection:
I'm going to grade all the Bagwell RCs... oh wait... then I'll grade all the Pudge Rodriguez RCs... oh... then I'll grade all the Chipper--nevermind. I still got a box of cards for $5!
Thanks again for your help yesterday, folks. In order to get more information, I've added the cards I found to a photobucket album:

Notice that they all lack blue ink on the back. I'm not sure that these are box...
Hi again, folks. Thanks for your help yesterday when I asked about the 1988 Topps Football cards I found in a thrift store in a binder that were missing blue ink. Now I'm wondering about 1990 Classic baseball: the set with the yellow border and blue backs. I saw a lot of these in the binder I...
I posted on the football boards 30 minutes ago, no views on my post, so I'll try here:

Hi folks,
I am a baseball collector, so I don't know much about the football side of the hobby. I was in a thrift store today and picked up a binder with a bunch of biggio RCs and some Maddux RCs, and mixed in there were some football and hockey. Nothing too amazing as far as I can tell, but I'm...
I saw this month's special is $15 for their autograph authentication and encapsulation service (blue flip). Will there ever be another $10 special like this? I send in some of my favorites to get authenticated--but with the amount I send in (25-30), the additional $5 has been a deterrent. Anyone...
I bought this card on COMC. I e-mailed them and hope to get a replacement or my money back. The bottom corner looked rough on the COMC scan, but I got the card today and that bottom corner is beat.
edit: Yeah, it's the same card--just more damaged than the original scan from COMC shows. I...
I want this card for Spring Training to try to get signed. I can't find it anywhere. I would prefer to trade--just let me know what you're looking for and I'll see what I have. Hopefully we can work out a deal.
Thanks!
Anthony
I know to rub down these cards before getting them signed. I got these signed at the 2011 Perfect Game Classic in San Diego--before he was drafted. I'm reminded of these cards because I'm getting ready for Spring Training and noticed his name on the Dodgers top prospect list. "I think I already...
Hi FCB,
I go to Spring Training each year in Arizona--I'm in the San Diego area. I collect in person autographed rookie cards, so this trip has been the biggest collection builder for me for the past 5 years or so (~100 to ~130 auto RCs each year). I don't have a ton of cards because I don't...
At the Padres garage sale last year I bought a few things, including a Portland Beavers game used jersey like this one. I found my size and intended to wear it at Spring Training later in the year. However, when I tried it on it was really, really long. I'm 5'11", but it still seemed way too...
Should I send it back to the address on the packs or is there some specific Topps address that... addresses these sorts of issues.
The card isn't incredibly fancy: a 2012 Draft Bowman's Best Brian Johnson /99
Thanks,
Anthony
Au: Stryker Trahan
Gold Ref: Victor Roache (1st rounder :))
Blue Ref: Correll Prime (12th rounder :()
Bowman's Best: Brian Johnson /99, but damaged (upper left corner, looks like the coating got a chunk taken out and left exposed foil)
6 other base refractors

As a birthday gift to myself I make a trip out to AZ each year for Spring Training. I collect in person autographed rookie cards so I made an effort to get autographs ONLY on rookie cards this year. I almost did so. As far as my preference to get things signed, it goes, in order:
First Year card...
Man, I am incredibly out of shape. 5K, 45 minutes. Still, it was cool to see Strasburg and Gwynn there. The organizers wouldn't allow any memorabilia into the event, otherwise I would have had RCs signed. But Gwynn and Strasburg were signing 5K stuff, so I got my shirt signed and my racing bib...
