The Ginter mini's are awesome. Nice pickups!

I ended up trading the PSA 10 1985 Topps McGwire I pack pulled for two Derek Jeter rookie cards (PSA 10 Stadium Club Murphy and PSA 8 SP Foil) and cash on top. I then picked this up for much cheaper than current Ebay prices as I've always wanted it. I still have my PSA 9 1985 Topps to fill in the gap after trading the 10 away.

Last week was ceramic central over here lol. Didn't know about these as a kid. Personally, I hate these because they fall into my "gimmick card" category and are fragile, but, I'm OCD and they're technically on the checklist, so I have to have them. SMH. I also hate any card that has retro/re-print variations, coins, 99 bazillion refractor color variations, Broder, and jumbo/micro-sized cards (even though I still buy them all).

Looking good everyone glad to know I am not the only one spending all my money.Snagged this one on eBay 85.00 dlvd Hand numbered 3/5

I have seen the ceramic cards before but I didn't realize Topps actually made them. Assuming they were made the same time as the actual cards, it is a unique pickup that is rarer from the junk wax era.

I've been spending a lot lately as well. Nice pick up! I need to start snagging the newer stuff...

They were authorized by Topps but manufactured by R&N in China. I hope I don't drop any of them. lol

Nice! are those the '98 platinum's?

 

[7guns]

I have 3 of the ceramic cards might chase the next if I am no to broke.

To be honest, I hardly know anything about these yet. Are the platinums the ones with the gold trim? If so, I have 3. '85, '92, '96.

Yeah, I'm all over the place. I try to complete each year in order, and then there's always a distraction like these and ask myself 'What if these never pop up again?" lol so then I binge on weird stuff like this. Next week I will either finish off what's missing from the 80's (if I can find them all), or get into some of the 2014-17 stuff. Depends on my mood. haha
