Kind of a biggie to start the month, but basketball.

Kromax Super Acrylium lot with 4 autos including the SP Ewing and Pippen. Anyone have a Barkley for me?

Well didn’t plan on it at the game tonight, is what it is haha 2021 game worn ‘74 Throwback signed, Will Smith. Absolutely beautiful jersey in person. The 2 games it’s authenticated for he didn’t pitch, but he did pitch the next day in each case wearing a throwback, there’s some stains on the front as well as the sleeves so I’m hoping to be able to photo match it to a game, either way, it’s a great piece from the World Series year

Also since Strider broke his own record of fastest to 200K in a season, had to try and get a ball from tonight. About 7 in front of me at the store but luckily they went for some Braves position players so I was able to get a Strider pitch to Rengifo

I've been falling behind on my scanning but I had to show off this one:

2006 Topps Chrome Red Refractors Frank Thomas 04/90. This completes the team set and the non-Super team rainbow: base, Refractors, X-Fractors, Black Refractors, Blue Refractors, and Red Refractors. I don't have a single Superfractor from the set, go figure.

Pink Refractor. Love the color match with the city connect jersey.

Been doing this for 1 guy since 1986....... still learning about cards I didn't know existed, nor were arranged specifically in a way... paramount Double Vision. Landed each half this week, 1 from ebay and 1 from LCS, totally random, not looking for tgem, didn't know they connected till I slapped the second one down on the shelf tonight lol.

Excited, yet bummed at the same time. Bud Grant, Vikings HOF coach on a rare certified auto card. Bummed that the PO was extra mean and the packaging could have been better, so the card ended up getting slightly creased in route.

I remember the excitement of Marino to Clayton and Duper. I will say I wish players would sign their names w/ nickname instead of just a nickname. Some prime examples include Pistol Pete, Big O, Rocket & Missile Raghib, and this Super Duper. It is his signature still, but feels a little incomplete.

Forgot this with my other post. Shawn Kemp owns 2 cannabis shops in Seattle now and apparently has been coming down to each store a couple times a week for a few hours for meet/greets. Saw it on facebook and since I kind of pass close to 1 at around lunch time each Thursday for work, I stopped in. It was pretty neat. The place was actually empty. I chatted with Kemp for about 5 minutes and he signed 5 cards for me.

If you live in the Seattle area, not sure how much longer he'll do it, but Tues/Thur on 1st Ave S (1-5PM) and Mon/Wed in Belltown (eve hrs, 5-9 or something like that).

I forgot to bring a pen, but thankfully he had them. Most aren't best for a signature showing well, but they were the best cards I had easily available. Wish he would have signed across the bottom from L to R instead of up the right side, but beggars can't be choosers, right? I did tip the cashier $20, which is what some were saying they did if they didn't buy any of the store product, which I did not.

These three complete the 1940 Play Ball Philadelphia A's team set. The biggest cards in the set are Connie Mack and a "throwback" card of Home Run Baker. I've had both of those for years so finishing off the rest wasn't too tough.

2001 Pacific Retail LTD Mulder 30/85, 2003 Fleer Genuine Reflection Descending Zito 74/81, 2005 Fleer Authentix Mezzanine Hudson 59/75, 2002 Fleer Mini Dye 08/50 (tough set to track down), 2011 Topps Gypsy Queen Framed Black Printing Plate Cahill 1/1 (I already had the Mini black plate so I had to grab this even though I already have tons of Cahill plates), and 2023 Topps '88 Gold Auto Dermis Garcia 30/50.

Another Tiny. I can't let them go when they can arrive in my mailbox for under $10 delivered.

I need to pick up a Yoshida auto next. Those are going for a lot more than Senga!
