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.......
Cool stuff. I like the rear view of the Player on the rear of card idea. Detailed, classy and innovative. Congrats, your customs are great. I ll have a really unique Ted Willians auto this summer for you to do a card with.
So I was on Amazon reading the reviews of Mike Cramer's memoir as I shoppl for a cheap copy...... and lo and behold...... Card Cop (James McCay) appears to have been unable to resist asserting his grievances with Cramer lol.... September 2025 he spouted off..... screenshot
1. Liquidate all of my last 200 or so dupes by 6.1.2026, trade if possible but sell the bulk as trading is super limited nowadays
2. Get to 4300 unique playing days and licensed post playing days
3. Get a 96 select mirror red.
Dont patron any graders, but will say it makes total sense for PSA to buy any competition to their "upcharge" fee for values they assign to cards when graded. SGC and Beckett did not charge these fees. Flippers and collectors alike have been opining on these as of late, including prominent web...
Well written and thorough. Lots of valid points. Honestly, once the Red Crusades and Gold 96 select crossed the 4 digit rubicon as an expectation of sellers for Clemens, I wrote them out of my list of pursuits. Personally I ve always thought purples were the best looking for Crusades, though...
first and only series 1 Blue Jays MVP I ve ever known about. Plenty of Yanks ones around in various collectors' stashes, but I dont know of other Jays ones....
