    Help Identifying Two Cards - Vladimir Guerrero and Yogi Berra

    *Broder was the term. The Vlad looks to have missed the foil embossing. Nothing special about that and marginal value, probably only to a player collector. More info on that set: https://baseballcardpedia.com/index.php/1997_Pinnacle_Certified

    Oh Super Sweet 90's Inserts.... #3

    NICE! I love this card. Always buying copies of the Erstad. I have a few ;)

    What are your favorite ultra modern case hit inserts?

    I'm certain that I am in the minority here... but I really like the various buyback stamped cards. It's added a fun chase element to the player collections I manage that aren't seeing many new issues. Mostly my Erstad PC.

    December 2025 New Arrivals

    Yeah! Most of the sigs on this card are poorly placed and also fading. I've got a couple of bold ones, but they're so rare to find anymore. For a time, this was a $2-3 card. It's jumped a little.

    December 2025 New Arrivals

    Nothing of note for the Erstad collection lately. He's in some 2025 Panini sets, and I am about 1/2 finished with the rainbow. Not a lot of singles are floating around. Not sure if people are opening this stuff.

    Oh Super Sweet 90's Inserts.... #3

    I love this set. Wish it had received a proper release before the bankruptcy. I've got every known copy of the Erstad's.

    The 1998 Topps Tek Thread

    Added a couple Erstad Diffractor over the last few months. I think that brings me to around 51/89.

    2003 Topps Chrome Silver Refractors

    I think I am up to 4. Holding for now, but if he's one of the last few cards you need... I could be convinced.

    1998 Pinnacle Totally Certified Platinum Gold

    Looking for more copies of the Erstad. Let me know if you have one.

    Custom card makers

    You'd need higher resolution versions for printing. Otherwise, these will look hazy/blurry when you print them off. With the logos, more places won't print those. That said, try Walgreens. lol.

    May 2025 Pickups

    No photo but I added another 1998 Erstad Tek Diffractor. It's been slim pickings for new stuff since my want lists are so narrow.

    Forgotten Tough Parallels

    Only Erstad for me. I haven't checked any other players.

    2025 Collecting Goals

    I would back off if I faced more competition. Very little for my guys. And at some point, there's not enough new stuff IMO to collect for my guys. Erstad only has a handful of cards each year.

    2024 Hobby Goals: Year in Review

    Yeah, I bought out the guy who was building the master set. I also have about 30 duplicates for trades. It was a pricey buy, but I'd never have the chance to get that many at once.

    2024 Hobby Goals: Year in Review

    The counting is a bit funny when 1998 Tek Diffractors and 1999 Tek Golds are factored in. I added about 40 of the 1998's. I wasn't adding all those into that total otherwise it'd be another 100 cards haha. Some positive mental manipulation.

    2025 Collecting Goals

    2025 Goals 1. Liquidate any non-PC stuff, starting with my PSA Master registries (Will Clark and Eddie Murray) 2. Start grading with PSA. 3. Finish my son's memorabilia display in his room. He has a few dozen signed baseballs and around 15 game bats from the 2023 Northwoods League season. 4...

    2024 Hobby Goals: Year in Review

    2024 status 1. Continue liquidating anything that's not part of my player collections Maybe 5% of this 2. Add 2+ game-used items from any of my favorite players (Darin Erstad, Will Clark, Eddie Murray, Bucky Jacobsen, Aaron Kurcz, Stacey Augmon) 2 game bats this year. Will Clark and Eddie...

    2024 Hobby Goals: Year in Review

    One of my favorite collecting accomplishments for 2024 is completing the 2005 Throwback Threads Polo Grounds 45 card set for Darin Erstad. It took 19 years, and I was down to missing a single card for around 5 years.
