New Yankee Pickup

[Jastermereel]

I haven't found any Rivera stuff in a while that I didn't have, and then I spotted this bad boy. I'm happy to add it. Sorry for the rough scan. It's in a BGS case, which my scanner hates.

Sweet card of two HOFers! I thought you already had one of these?

I did have one, but I decided a few years ago to get rid of my Rivera stuff. This card, and about a dozen others got sold before I changed my mind. ::facepalm:: ::facepalm:: I'm still missing 4 or 5 cards I sold from that dark (2-week) period in my collecting past.

This may be the exact same Rivera/Arod I owned before. I'm not sure.

That really sucks dude, but at least now you have one back in your collection. I hope you have still held on to all your Turkey Red autos though.

It's not hard to see why you decided to sell at one point. With most of the newer releases being boring my Rivera collection has lost some serious steam. Lately, the majority of my pickups have been from dime boxes. With no interest in chasing everything, I am at a major crossroads and have been deciding how to focus my collection; whether it is TTM autos, 90s stuff, or just on-card autos...I am not sure yet. I am also unsure whether I want to sell the remainder of what I have. On one hand, I have put 4-5 years into my collection so it would be hard to give up. However, it would also be nice to have some extra cash available for my O'Neill PC. Ultimately before taking any decision, I am treading carefully as I don't want to end up with any regrets.

The one I regret selling the most was the 2005 Cracker Jack Gray. I'm sure I won't find that one again. I don't know what I was thinking about at the time. :shock:

Glad it's back in your collection. Can't go wrong with two future HOFers.
