Antoine Carr is it for me today, not Dodger related.

2017 Finest Firsts Tyler Austin Auto. Fun fact: Both Tyler and Aaron Judge made their MLB debut on the same date, 8/13/2017, and they both hit a home run in their debut, back-to-back. $3 delivered. I wish Judge's auto was that cheap

Picked up 4 of these in one shot now have 5 total I love the un-ripped cards so rare and hard to find.

Glavine is a Superstar sampler card. Impulse buy after I saw something that reminded me about them.

The rest are cheaper autos for fun. Vin Baker is the basketball auto.

Heritage Black Ref /76

Bruce Red /61. I never get tired of that 61 design with signatures. The perfect card for them.

A nice mix of star pack autos

A couple FB HOFers and a couple BKB HOFers. The green card is Buddy Jeannette

Dating back to my love of food issues and similarly distributed cards and items, I discovered these 2007 or 2008 (depending on where you look) Kellogg autographed cards. I think they were inserted randomly in boxes of product. I bought the Hank Aaron a while back, still sealed, and it came with a flattened box that described the promotion. At the time, none of the other subjects I saw were decently priced, so I forgot about them.

A few weeks ago, I stumbled upon one (which has not arrived yet), so it got me looking for them again. This time, I was able to secure a couple at really good prices, considering they are manufacture certified. The design isn't great with unlicensed, somewhat crude black and white drawings of the players, but still it's a set that is right in my collecting range. Today brings basketball HOFer Lenny Wilkens and David Robinson.

I may not chase the other "lesser" sports subjects like Peter Jacobsen, Kyle Busch and Kristi Yamaguchi unless i can find some similar deals. Right now, those listed on ebay are much higher than I am willing to pay for any of those three. Still, I think the set is complete at 7 subjects and I have 4 out of 7 (with one incoming still, to be shared here when it arrives), so finishing it would be cool despite me not really collecting much outside of the big 4 sports.

I'm trying to complete the Chrome Prospect portion of the 2025 Bowman set. So I was happy to see Bowman blasters at Walmart.

A big scan for a big hit!

Been a pretty quiet month.
Have these to show.

Loving this set.

To Add to my Trout Black run

The inscription made me go after it. I have another with "NL 1952 MVP"
Lucky I won, as the price was great

Havlicek /25. This is sharp. Card is on black cardboard and has kind of a reflective surface. The sig is silver paint pen or sharpie.

Palmer /50 (Needed him for the Raider QB run). This was one of the cheaper, yet somewhat appealing cards I could find.

Diggs /250. This original FB design was an under appreciated set design, at least by me. Signature is underwhelming, but many today are. Been trying to land a Diggs in one of his 3 retro design cards. This is my favorite of the three, so pretty happy with this one.


One for the set I like to pick up when they are cheap. Ryan Ludwick.

Finally a nice Kell /25. love this set too, but they are much harder to find "cheap".

I feel like I see some of his listings as a Dodger from time to time. Must be the similar uniform colors. First time I saw one, I had to check and see if they traded for him.
