July 2025 New Arrivals

Couple more redemption cards. Really miss cool redemption cards and although i hate them all in general and wish they would go away, the plain cardboard fillers with the rub off code are the worst!

Got a couple sets of these. I had picked up a partial set before, with several cards damaged including the Jeter.

Non-traditional, but still very much card-like and they seem to be ghost-like out there. Flash cards.

Agreed. Hell, when Topps Black Gold redemptions were used, Topps even sent back a redemption with “Winner” at the top, along with the redeemed cards.

Creativity was evident with them, as they had pics of the cards you were getting as well.

A couple more redemptions. Didn't notice the Randy Moss was redeemed already at first (hole punched). Still like these even with the big obscuring stickers. I see a Drew Brees like this other EX card, I think it's on COMC and frequently shows up on ebay as well when they spam their listings. Amazing card, but some kid wrote his name/address on the back of the card. I don't know if that was redeemed and returned that way or just a kid who got it and filled in his info and never sent the card in. I'd personally never pay a premium for it like that and the seller wants $500+ for it! Pass! I'll settle for the common player for $2.

Then a few autos of the more obscure kind, just how I like them. These are all certified. I believe the OJ was not pack inserted, but sold outright somehow/somewhere. It's one of those than mentioned the cards were signed while he was in jail. Love him or hate him, he was still a part of football history and was a heck of a player.

I just need 1 more of the Kellogg's B&W auto cards, Kyle Busch. Thought I had the rest until I was reminded I didn't have Jacobson yet. I still need the Jerome Bettis like the rice. Theismann was the other subject I am aware of.

World B. Free on a great design, but terrible image for a signature. Fan Favorites/Archives was horrible in basketball for these. I guess basketball action is not very conducive to nice bright shots that make a decent signature background.

WORLD B! That's righteous.

That guy could really score, BTW. He averaged 30 ppg one season...

92 Denny's Grand Slam Kal Daniels. Love the Hollywood Sign in the background.

Bring back food issues!

Had this come in while I was on vacation. Case is all scratched so I may bust and mag it. My least favorite version from 07 but can't complain

Last mail day of July! This completes my EX2000 Emerald auto set of 6. Now to finish the Circa and Metal auto sets!

A couple big NBA scorers...Lamarcus Aldridge (51st soon to be 52nd) & Joe Johnson (54th), both in the 20K career point club.

Some Padre Coke sheets. Would have liked more variety. I like the oddball late 80s/early 90s Padres oddball stuff.
