April pickup thread

[nevermore]

ah that was you on that A-Rod! I need the whole promo set, so I didn’t want to pay that price times 6.

Yes, I lost out the first time a week before. Was surprised to see it come up again so soon. Hope you landed some of the others. I think the Bonds were listed by the same guy.

Late night impulse buy. Will take a shot with this. Hope it hasn't been opened/searched, contains the coveted 1995 Score Rules Jumbo. Hoping for O'Neill or big name.

I picked up for $10 with the Rob Deer back

I think Groome could be a good bounce back guy...if there is any baseball this year.

Looking for the Thomas, if this treasure chest should contain one.

I don't normally do Buyback autos but I made an exception for this one.

Bought a LOT just for the Ripken and got the others with it. I don't collect these players so I have no idea what they are worth.

The 1995 Score Collector's Kit came in today. When I bought it, I was a but worried since the side was ripped, thinking it had been searched/opened. Box was very dusty, looks like it was stored away since 1995. Old KMart price tag.




Nice binder, love the colors, but considerable warping and also more dust inside too.



And opening up on the inside....drum roll. Cal Ripken Jr.



Close up of the card... has surface issues unfortunately due to being stuck with the plastic all these years. Small indent on bottom surface from one of the D-rings from the binder. Not an O'Neill (or Frank Thomas, sorrry @Letch77) but happy to get a big name. A few players seem be be "commons" and are available readily. Yet, guys like O'Neill I've only seen listed once in 15 years of searching. I'm sure player collectors would be happy to have it in any condition.



Haven't opened the packs yet. Not sure if there are and RCs or inserts that are worth anything today.

 

[Letch77]

Pretty nice pull...sorry it has the damage/wear. The search continues...

Occasionally will venture into modern post 2008 if I feel there's a deal I see
Couldn't pass these up at the prices and with discounts / sales I made technically cost nothing but time
These are both Jumbos fyi
And like Brad- too much time on my hands despite working full time still during the shutdown I'm seemingly scanning, selling and buying like crazy. Too many good deals to pass up

Not 'new" pickups per say as I've been in possession of these items for 42 years but came across some of my vintage
when my newest box of stuff arrived from storage. Thought I'd sold everything vintage in the early 2000's when the market was going nuts but apparently some stuff is still hidden in the black hole that is my collection. Put a post on Net54 asking the vintage guys If they remember who stamped their stuff with that 110 stamp as I seem to remember an old timer who used to do that.

The Wild West Caramels subseries is part of the E49 American Caramel series for you modern folks
