Can't believe I've never seen or posted in this thread. Here are some of my favorites. The HOF postcard was sent to me in 2004, along with an autographed ball, through a friend of a family friend when they mentioned to Mr. Doerr that I was a deployed soldier (in my past life). Class act (it...
I started the thread so I guess I can help bump it back up. Here are some new pickups (and by new I mean things I've picked up sometimes since this thread was active):
I usually bust one box of Allen & Ginter a year, so today I dutifully headed to my LCS and picked up a box. Didn't get any Red Sox I needed, but think I did pretty well. Just the highlights:
Minis-
Base: Aaron, Barbed Wire (RC!)

I went yesterday too. I was actually pretty happy with the amount of dealers and the variety. Lots of stuff to look through. I got a bunch of minis for my team sets. The only thing I opened all day was a Gypsy Queen box topper, but it had a ryan Zimmerman mini auto/gu booklet #/5 in it, so I was...

Seriously though, that is sweet. Do you have any ideas for displaying them all?
It's usually pretty good, though there is a good amount of vintage (which I like but isn't everyone's thing), and high-end. As a low/mid end collector, I generally don't do great, but find a few things. If I remember correctly, there are some guys who turn up with bulk boxes.
That being said...
This thread got me curious so I pulled my FX singles. I remember when they had blister packs of these at target and I bought them all the time. The only Red Sox blue I've ever been able to find was a Josh Beckett for $0.50 at a show. Here's what I have otherwise. All available:
