Added or upgraded to Jersey number serial match in bulk via trade with another gracious Rocket collector whose collection DWARFS mine... also added a clean nicknames /100 bronze to go with my decade /10. Big Day in Cytown! If its in the non auto pic, its Jersey match!

Cytowncollection.com bumped up by 4 to 4517 out of the 4672 goal via another awesome trade with fellow Rocket collector. More modern licensed short print stuff and a classic era Rivals /100.

After a random conversation last night with a fellow collector about this rare card (Pop 6 card). Randomly this morning one of my hobby buddies reached out and offered it to me. Hobby friends in the clutch!

Nice! 1997 Showcase were such beautiful cards.

The best of what I picked up at the Philly Show and a local show the next day…
Carson Benge, Patrick Ewing, Willie Mays and Juan Soto

You're a cool cucumber. Dropping in a Mays auto with 660HR enscribed with that other stuff

Haha! I was dying when I got it, I think I got the Soto and the mays within 10 minutes of each other. I was literally shaking, I thought Mays would be one of the last Mets autos I ever got if I ever got close. But I did give them all their own separate posts in my Mets autos thread. Lol

A couple of my new favorite cards...Got the Boudreau in about a month ago, Kaline came today. It's definitely harder to find some of the older players/patches from this set. So I would call these two the best (so far) in my '02 FOTG set build.

1998 Leaf Heading for the Hall Wade Boggs SAMPLE. According to BaseballCardPedia (https://baseballcardpedia.com/index.php/1998_Leaf#Heading_for_the_Hall), the sample cards have PROMO/5000 stamped on the back where the serial number goes, but this one is blank.

Mine is also blank. I checked a few on ebay, and they're all blank as well.

Had to go to Wichita last week so I swung by Oliver's Sports. Couldn't pass up a Leonard Nimoy auto for $20

These were waiting for me on my desk when I got back. The rest of the set is in the mail so I've almost put this one to bed.

This one has actually been in my house for a while. I just didn't know it. My grandmother passed a little over a month ago. She's been living with us for over 10 years and had her own addition to the house. I was cleaning out her desk yesterday evening and found this 2009 Christian Family Day Adam Wainwright from a game she went to with us. I didn't know she'd kept anything from it. Definitely a card that will never leave my collection.

Picked up the 2021. Only one more to go. The pricey 2024.

Bumping into this one at a card show was definitely a surprise.

I miss when Topps actually labeled their refractors. Would be helpful these days, especially when there are like 5 shades of pink and you can't tell salmon apart from fuchsia and neither of them is serial numbered. This one is both labeled AND serial numbered. I don't expect Fanatics to care, considering they're just in the business of printing money and taking ours.

2005 Finest Green Refractor Jorge Posada, #003/199.

Those would look incredible if Bob Ross actually created them.

 

[WizardofOz1982]

I had basically accepted this card didn't exist due to the Fleer Bankruptcy. I've had the Rollie Fingers for years and seen several of them sell but never a Brooks Robinson or Luis Aparicio. Now that the Brooks has appeared maybe I'll find an Aparicio too at some point.

Snagged the 2024. This completes my Shohei Topps Chrome refractor run.
