Here are a couple things I picked up this past weekend. The Halladay is gone, but I figured I'd share anyway.

Just recently picked up the Series 1 gold and Series 2 silver Press Proofs to finish this little "set". I definitely like the Series 2 PP designs over Series 1!

$15?!! Very nice! One of my favorite sets. I have a bad habit of buying the Frank Thomas. I don't even know how many I have now.



edited to add: I know BV doesn't matter much, but what's the BV on that card? $100?

Yep. According to my checklist it's $100.

Kind of a cool "rainbow;" 1994 Collector's Choice Up Close and Personal base, white border base, silver signature, black border silver signature, and gold signature.

Thought I'd share my Diamond axis pickups as well--agreed, they do look much nicer in hand...

The Diamond Pedro is #13, which is the same as this z2 (big thanks to Cobra!):

forgot to mention that because he's such a nice guy, Cobra's mail to me also included a 1997 CTTC Piazza platinum--totally unexpected but appreciated. Wish I had a scan available to post, it looks beautiful (as most of you know)

Sweet cards - those are probably three of my top 10 favorite issues all-time.

So weird how things run in cycles when you're a player collector. Picking up a Fleer Starting Nine last year about this time kickstarted my return to collecting. But after that, and a subsequent Fleer Focus /29, I didn't pick up a significant Rusty Greer until almost a year later here recently when suddenly a bunch starting hitting the market all at one time. The executive proof Crusades on COMC, then two different collectors in Texas clearing out their Greers including some super rares at the exact same time. What a blast for me - may never see a period of time like this again. Here's a couple I got in this weekend:

Gold AP /100

They were pretty good deals I think, I don't know how good though.

Here are some more for my Thomas collection:
