Depends on a Ricky collectors pocket depth. Some guys have wealthy, big spender followings, like will clark,griffey, big hurt, others are more thrifty, like Thome. All it takes is one person who thinks 90s cards like that are gonna be a retirement strategy.....
Its all just flipper madness and hot potato. People are gonna get stuck hokding a heavy worthless bag with a LOT of cards when it crashes out. I say 90 plus percent of market activity is flippers looking to profit on spec/alt investment because most people are maxed out and dont make enough...
Comc order arrived on.... a.... Sunday? Weird... anywho.... filled 47 more holes, including turkey red Chrome Black Refractor /99..... and another super cheap jersey #22 match polo grounds from feebay for less than 2 gallons of gas......
Took the boy to his first full day card show. Apparently he is good luck cuz we walked up to a dealer with a case of mostly vintage with 1 random Rocket card.... and it was a jersey match of the new 2025 chrome release!. 15 bux was perfectly fair. Pretty cool considering I hadn't seen a single...
Cool addition to Cytowncollection.com. hand numbered to only 24 . only handful of players in the set. Metal hinge and case makes it really neat. Need to buy a booklet case now, dont stock those lol.

I dont really get into modern parallels unless its the jersey # match because with the bajillion color variations its just always the same card that there are thousands of, even though they number them lower than that per run But this 2020 Celebration of Decades Best actually seems cool because...
Sad... this poor guy is all happy about this "grail" cuz its in a PSA case.... and every 90s collector immediately knows its a fake and has to deflate him....but keep sending psa your money, right? They got their upcharge.... Smh...
Pretty cool. I hear ya on the reflection of time spent. I m coming up on my goal of 4672, and once I m there, I have to wonder how I will view being "done".....
Needed one of these. Dont have many booklets of the Rocket. This one is coincidentally Cy Young #7 serial /18. Not that others were available and passed over, but its nice lol.
Update. Home Openers set complete. Everything else.... not so much.

Swapped stuff with a fellow Clemens guy for the Yellow Jersey # serial match Primary Colors. It matches the Blue Jersey #serial match. Need the red now I guess.......
