My National Pickups, both of them

[cgilmo]

I didn't have a whole lot of time to shop.

I pretty much rushed past display cases on my way to accomplish something at another booth.


However I did go into the show with 2 card goals.

#1 replace a sweet spot classics patch of Eddie Mathews because although it looks nice, it features a crappy event used material.

I replaced it with this for $130

LOVE old tribute

And I wanted a nice pujols rookie, snagged this for $550

Dude, that is a freakin SWEET Mathews!! and that other card ain't bad either
congrats on the awesome pickups!

 

[sdsportsfan1214]

Sweet Pujols!!

 

[piggy1918]

Wow... awesome Pujols! Oh and you spent more on it than I did at three days of the show in total lol!

 

[mlbsalltimegreats]

WOW! Two sick cards. Nice pick ups Chris, and I agree, old tribute is just plain sweet.

 

[DaleMurphyCollector]

Hmmmmm....And all I thought you picked up was a severe case of ******.

Great looking cards!

Nice Eddie Chris...didn't see you pick that up. It was the right move, moving that Sweet Spot.

 

[mlbfan10]

Sick pickups! I want a nice pujols rc as well.

 

[masonphillip]

Not to mention the Lombardi cut...

 

[Viking4Alpha]

:shock: Sweet haul man!

 

[Jastermereel]

I can't believe I didn't see the Matthews in someone's case.

 

[Brewer Andy]

Fan-frickin-tastic pickups Chris! Either one of those cards would make a nice center piece in most collections!

Is the SPx gradeable? That's one of the most trimmed cards out there.

no, it isnt


it shows some white on the edges


im confident it isn't trimmed

 

[All The Hype]

Nice stuff Chris, two really cool cards

 

[Topnotchsy]

Wish they'd still make cards that look like that Mathews. That's a beauty!!

(Come to think of it, wish they had base designs like the Pujols as well.) Wish I would have known you were looking for a nice Pujols since I may have to move my SPx BGS 9/9...

Nice, but I like the pick ups in your sig the most. Taz and Dirty Dirk autos look awesome. What better than first ever FCB cert autos! Signed in front of you in your own booth at the natty.

I was given the job of protecting the talent. My cat like reflexes were called into duty more than once!

Who is Eddie Mathews?

Sweet cards!

The seller of the Pujols made a nice $125 profit:
