Rich Harden Sweet Spot auto, Topps Now Turn Back the Clock Catfish Hunter, and I needed an Elvis Andrus auto since he's now on the A's so I figured I may as well get a good one.

Huge Topps Black pickup, the 2009 Frank Thomas 15/58. Still 2 away from that team set. A couple of McGwires including 1997 Leaf Dress for Success 0854/3500. And a couple of '00s parallels I needed, the Mulder is 31/50.

Team heroes showdown parallels plague my Wakefield collection, I still need two or three...near impossible finds.
LOVE the long distance connection! I thought those were awesome when they came out and I still love em! That's a great 90s card!!

That is an awesome piece, dripping with history, congrats!!

Thank you! It's definitely a centerpiece of my collection. Took years to find and acquire.

Holy Cow @Topnotchsy !!!

As we have discussed before I am a Nashua native and that’s the holy grail of Nashua Baseball memorabilia! Blown away! Congrats on an amazing amazing find!

Thanks,
Jeff

Jeff,

I remember you saying you are from Nashua. My Grandmother grew up in Berlin, NH (80+ years ago), so not that far away.

To me, the Newcombe together with this one really captures the 1946 Integration story. Campy and Newk were the first to Integrate for a team in the US, since Jackie and John Wright were up in Montreal.

@Topnotchsy, that pick up is just top notch! (Sorry couldn’t help myself)

@finestkind, you want my address for that one, seems to fit my collection better than yours

Casey is not happy with that.

Yeah I know I need quite a few Team Heroes parallels, but since they are pretty boring cards from a pretty boring set I'm not sure if I haven't bought them out of apathy or because they simply aren't available. I know I still need the 2004 Silver Xavier Nady and I go pretty hard after his cards so it must be a pretty difficult one to find.

Today's arrivals:

Big time '90s insert with the 1999 Molten Metal Fusion Titanium Grieve 23/50. Still need the Eric Chavez from the set but happy to at least have this one. The 2020 Stadium Club Blue Zito is 43/50, and there's also a 2020 Topps Black Mark Canha. The Max Stassi 2009 auto leaves me a single card away from having every A's Refractor (just the regular Refractors, not color or x-fractors) from the first 20 years of Bowman Chrome, 1997-2016. Just missing a common from 2000 that I can't quite locate.

Manny Lee for my signed '88 Topps set. The 2008 Sterling Reggie leaves me two Reggies short of a team set. And the 2021 Definitive Patch 12/15 Mark Canha was a good clue to me that the card market is at least cooling slightly...less than $10 shipped for a low number nice patch card from a current year set, even if it's not a great player, just didn't seem like it was happening a couple months ago.

T205 Jimmy Dygert. 5 more needed for the team set, 4 commons and one of the Eddie Collins variations.

This is a big 8.5"x11" sheet Upper Deck made for people to get autographs at the 1995 Super Bowl card show. Very limited edition of 25,000. If it was multi-signed I wouldn't care about it, but since it just had a Trent Dilfer autograph all of a sudden it became a unique Dilfer item. I can't imagine too many people got Trent Dilfer's autograph and were like "That's enough, I'll call it a day." I can't recall ever seeing another one like this at least.

Haha those last couple sentences are gold. Great pickup!

Trio of players who dominated the beginning of the 2000's. Remember chasing those cards.
