For some reason it seems like the pick-up threads don't seem to get much traction anymore. Have people slowed down purchasing, or is it something else?

One of Ichiro's rarest RC cards:

I haven't gotten any REALLY nice Pacific in lately. Just getting the cheapies out of the way.

But, here are 3 of my favorites of the month to date.

I recently picked up a few things, including a couple I've been hunting for to add to my rookie collection.

First, the rookies:


This ones a refractor


Also added these too:





And finally, one tough one to invest in

well, i tend to just show off my pickups in my Bagwell thread, since thats all i get. And sometimes ill show them off in the 90s thread if its relevant. I dont want to clog up multiple threads with my Bagwell pickups. But this just explains me, i cant speak for the rest of the class...

People have been posting their pickups in their own threads lately. So there would be a couple posts a day but nothing centralized.

Ruth game-used seems to have softened recently (unless there's a pinstripe)

I'm pretty much all in on Pujols

/thread. That card is insane!

Thanks Topsy! Took me a while to find a low-graded centered copy.

I rarely buy cards anymore, but I'll see what I got in my purchased tab on eBay.

(Needed this one for class :twisted

Technically bought at the end of December

Eric, why is that graded so low? It looks amazing.

No big January pickups; these were end of year 2013 ones that I finally scanned:

I had my eye on this card for a while, it's #d to 25 but I love the way he finished the "z" in his last name--different than most of his other sigs in this set

Those are some of the nicest looking modern cards I have seen in a long time.
