Am I the only one who got anything in lately ??? I have tons more to scan folks I got in end of July/start of August so feel free to show your stuff off.

I'm really liking eBays discount days because if you plan right and know when to hit stuff its a great time to pluck stuff off thats already discounted AND be paid 8-10% back to do so- making the purchase even cheaper.

The Platinum Press Proof- a whopping $3.25. The other two combined a little over $20 ( with free shipping) I have tons more but alternating between scanning stuff that was pickups = and scanning stuff for sale. The Trio of Studio bats was part of a 10 card pickup for $10 total after using some discount funds.

Yes- $1 per card. Lets just say the dupes are being sold/traded and I'll earn the money I spent right back and maybe some other items of need in trade

No they are not.

In 1970 MLB played an all-star game to commemorate Dr Martin Luther King Jr. They put out an 80 page program for the game.

Jeff has inspired me, nice pickups man!


Two SPs more for my 2002 set....





My first RJ auto


And the Red Sox stuff...







And a card I've been looking for because it's so awesome...

Best nickname ever?

 

[domino2012]

Well, these are for my White Sox PC.
Technically bought these in July but they only arrived the past few days.

Some Tim Anderson


Basabe Gold Shimmer /50


For my F.Thomas collection


A small addition to my C. Young collection

 

[rebelpawn]

By chance that doesn't happen to be # 50/50 is it ? If so was monitoring it on eBay not because I needed it but because I monitor all Clemens items. Nice pickup !!!







Added another needed auto to the PC

This one below was the result of a poorly worded title. Luckily I was looking for another 2001 item when I noticed it
Best $16.50 I've spent in 2018 that's for sure ( actually cost me ZERO since I sold stuff and used those funds)

Yup it's #50/50. Are you stalking me Jeff? :lol:

Love the Grip it and Rip it Clemens & Jeter. One of my favorite sets that I've ever put together. Get pickup for the price, I was thinking of grabbing it because it went so cheap. Glad I didn't and it went to you!

 

[michaelstepper]

excellent stuff here guys. I've added a ton, I'll post the highlights

this card I didn't have as a need on my master list so it confused me when I saw it pop online

Great looking cards of some of my all time favorite players.

Yes it confused me also first time I saw it online. I'm not a real fan of Sweet Spot items due to the totally inept staff at Upper Deck not bothering to use the proper pens / markers for the items they had signed.

For example-- I have his Yankees uniform # 22/28 one slabbed. He had to sign straight thru the grain which someone didn't even bother sanding down properly. Luckily Clemens only signed 28 and most were bold and beautiful.

Yup it's #50/50. Are you stalking me Jeff? :lol:

No time to stalk anything but cards



And here is a recent pick up with today's mail.

Gives me a whopping two letters ( I just posted the other letter over in the grading card post)

 

[nevermore]

2003 Topps Kanebo Hideki Matsui

Matsui didn't have any Topps/Bowman cards from 2003, except for this card released in Japan featuring the Topps base design. I've wanted this card for the longest time, excited to add one 15 years later. Not terribly valuable I imagine, but a tough oddball to find and happy to add it to my team set.

I agree, I really like the kanebo for the simple fact it was hard to find.

Cool little mailday today...

I was able to add a card that I always thought was cool but never pulled the trigger on until now
2006 Heritage Jerry Snyder auto

Love the "This isn't me" inscription
