I gave someone a heck of a deal on a Skylines a few months ago apparently for $125.

I should have been contributing to this for a long time now, but finally got around to doing some scanning. Here's a few oddballs to enjoy...

1993 Stadium Club Master Photo
1994 O-Pee-Chee 5x7 All Stars

2001 Topps Traded HOF GU
2001 Upper Deck Heroes of Baseball. Puck and Winfield and...Michael Jordan? Because Upper Deck, that's why!

Finally a favorite oddball, 1993 Mead pocket notebook. There had to be a bunch of other players in this set, but somehow, all I have is a Puckett.

I'll show off some autos in the near future.

Those material swatches in that UD Heroes of Baseball card look great! Mine, not so much. The Jordan on mine has a snag and the Puckett has some concerns as well. I’ve been meaning to replace, but haven’t pulled the trigger on a replacement yet.

Do you have the auto version of any of the cards in this set?

I never picked any up and wish I had at least 1

 

[K34PuckettAddict]

I’ve never seen the 3x auto with Jordan, but found the other two for my collection when they were released, I believe…

I may have mentioned it a while back in the thread, but the dual material with Winfield had a material variation available as well. One with a white swatch and another with grey. Here’s mine:

You guys are frickin' amazing.

Auto time! Here's a couple I got from a friend many years ago. He had acquired a large auto collection, and I helped him sort and categorize them. Found quite a few rubber stamp autos along the way. (an 84 Donruss Cal Ripken with a stamped auto. ) But these two are the real deal and are nice early examples of Puck's auto.

I don't remember how much I paid for it, and I have no idea what it would get now (but I bet you guys would!) but here is one of my favorite authenticated Puck autos.

These box toppers were fabulous, no matter what the patch was (I have/had a 1990 All Star Game one somewhere) but I find it hard to beat the Puck auto.

BTW, did anyone else score the Topps Living Set Puckett print today? They went on sale early in the day and sold out quickly.

Dang I missed that fine art print. Hopefully I can get one without going broke on ebay. Lol

 

[K34PuckettAddict]

I dig all those, it was interesting to see his auto change so much from those earlier examples to the 2002 UD you have pictured. I prefer that later auto and thought it was so clean when he wasn’t rushing. Those were on card too which was great! I’ve always thought they looked a little better than the holographic sticker things card companies switched over too. I’d have to imagine those were much easier to deal with when signing and returning though…

His autos have stayed elevated. I remember when I could pick up some for under $100 back in the day, but now they all go over $200 with some pushing close to $400 with some ease now…

Not a card, but got my first Puckett auto in earlier this year. STH bobblehead from the Puckett estate

I thought so too. The only downside is that after it was signed, it was dropped and repaired at some point. You can see the scuffs going through the auto, and then the brim of the hat shows some repair work and paint, but not horrible

Remember this poster from Kirby Puckett Weekend?

 

[K34PuckettAddict]

I never chased the Puckett posters all that much, but have a few of them & I believe this was one of them that I actually grabbed.

I like these black and white twins team photos. I’m missing a few years and would love to eventually find them. Here’s an 1984 variation, one with a navy blue and a light blue facsimile auto.

I have unautographed 82, 83 and 84 8x10s of Gary Gaetti. Got them on the cheap and I freaking love them. Great time capsule. Photos of young Kirby like that are wonderful!
