2024 Hobby Goals: Year in Review
Wants -- 1. Paul O'Neill -- add 10 non-Tek needs, getting my non 1/1 need list down under 40. DONE! 2. Vintage -- add 15 needs from '52-'69, getting needs list down to 20. Pick up 1970 Munson RC graded. Didn't happen, paltry vintage selection at shows. Maybe added 5 cards. 3. High End -- add 4... -
2025 Collecting Goals
For 2025, I am piggybacking off prior goals. I am setting a modest goal to pick up about 25 "core" cards over the year for my more advanced collections. This doesn't include common needs such as 1986-87 Fleer, 90s Marvel, and ultra-modern 2018-2024 Yankees Topps/Heritage commons. Buying 1... -
December 2024 Arrivals
@Dilferules -- Nice pickups, enjoy seeing them! Thanks, I can't see myself starting another "complete" player collection beyond O'Neill, so I am trying to vet the best copy of other Yankees HOFers that I can afford. Guys like Ichiro, Matsui, Mattingly, Bernie, and Rivera have signed a lot more... -

2005 Donruss Classics Significant Signatures Silver #170 Randy Johnson/1 -- Randy Johnson has 100 or so Yankee single-signed autos from his playing years released between 2005-2007, 95 to be exact. Of the 95 cards, I've excluded 24 from the over-complicated Diamond Kings set and 17 from Sweet... -
December 2024 Arrivals
2005 UD Ultimate Signature Collection Immortal Inscriptions Don Mattingly /75 -- This remains a landmark set after 20 years. A few collectors were chasing a master set on Beckett and here on FCB when it was released and so this was always on my radar. Immortal Inscriptions is a standout from... -

2003 SP Authentic Matsui Future Watch Autograph Parallel Bronze /75 -- When it rains, it pours. Found the Bronze /75 just a month after finding the Silver /25. -
November 2024 Arrivals
2000 SPx Radiance Orlando Hernandez /100 -- A poor man's PMG. I understand the foiling pattern is similar. First time holding one of these (or a PMG), quite a nice finish. Had to take it for $12.00 with free shipping. 2003 Ultimate Collection /750 -- Mutombo doesn't have many cards as a... -

October 2024 Arrivals
Slowly but surely, I'm closing in on 10 new O'Neill pickups for the year which was my primary goal. After a dry spell, this card was a HUGE addition! I was bummed to see I had initially missed this on COMC a few weeks ago. The buyer had sent it to PSA for grading and it was eventually relisted... -

June 2024 Arrivals
1998 Bowman Chrome Golden Anniversary #241 Paul O'Neill /50 -- First major O'Neill addition in a while, it looks just like the chrome base unless one examines it closely. I wonder how many are sitting in common boxes. 1:164 odds are not that tough. -
June 2024 Arrivals
Nice!! Reminds me, there was a 1/1 Sweet Spot on Goldin, not sure if it's a subset you're work on. https://goldin.co/item/2005-ud-sweet-spot-classic-signatures-black-stitch-eh-ernie-harwell-si9vpx8 -
June 2024 Arrivals
2002 Topps Chrome Black Refractor #537 Luis Sojo /50 -- Great quote by Cashman on the back of this card, describes Sojo well. He was a supporting player on all four World Series teams. Has only 50 Yankee releases from his playing years and just a handful of numbered ones. This is arguably his... -
