Your best option is to check out a PSA/DNA group sub ( [MENTION=2418]George_Calfas[/MENTION] ) or to ask [MENTION=1720]cgilmo[/MENTION] if he'll be having anyone be in-shop anytime where you can send it in.

Happy Monday, everyone. Have a nice weekend? Can't believe more snow here today - thought maybe we were done for the year.
Well, I agreed to sell my Mark Grace Crusade Prototype rainbow. Man, not an easy decision. But the buyer was motivated. He's negotiating with some other collectors that read this board, so I won't say the final price, but suffice it to say I'll be going on a nice week-long July vacation in Michigan including cabin rental on a lake with fishing and paddle boat included, theme park admissions to Michigan Adventure, and spending money. The boys are excited, and so am I! I've made peace with the decision - I think I need more life experiences and less cardboard.
Small mailday today - very small! I actually thought I got a package with just bubble wrap in it, couldn't even see the pin at first. Think I got a nice deal on this for my Rabbit collection... it wasn't listed as a 1930 Cracker Jack, just a "premium pin". $23 total dlvd.
Congrats man!!

Sorry you'll lose the piece of the collection, but I'm in agreement: life experiences > cardboard. And it's beautiful here in summer...I'm sure your trip will be memorable. Make sure to have the camera on hand!!

Good "morning" everyone!
Jealous to the n-th degree. Congrats sir! I'd love to see a scan of it if you've got one!

I'm sure kicking back drinking a few brews and throwin' a line in the water at the end of this dock will help. Just reserved this place on Twin Lakes near Muskegon for mid-July. Planning things to do already: tour USS LST 393, roller coasters at Michigan Adventure, check out lighthouse, beach and boardwalk in Grand Haven. This long winter is giving me cabin fever!

Good afternoon. Done with 2/3 classes for the day. Gotta run to the PO, the store, and then fill the car up. There goes probably $50+ out the window since the PO will be $10+

Stopped in Meijers at lunchtime. $11.99 value box at Meijers yeilded these. Any ideas what the 2007 Bumgarner Tri-Star auto is worth? Numbered to 50. There's one on eBay for $34.99, but it's an unsold relist. I don't follow Tri-Star at all.

Dang dude....pretty good pulls for $12. I'm always happy just for getting a GU in balusters these days.

Hey all, got a huge addition to my Watergate collection today.
First, a little story on the funding of this one. A few weeks ago I bought the last three packs of SP Authentic Football at the LCS. I was told that they were "pretty sure" that the patch auto had been pulled, so I got all three packs for $6 total. In the first pack, I pulled a nice two color, patch auto (on card) of Seattle's Russell Wilson. I was going to keep it for awhile, but, after looking at the prices similar cards were getting on ebay (between 120-150 average), I got to thinking. I thought, hmmmm, if I sell this thing, I bet it would put me pretty close to what I needed for what may be the crown jewel of my Watergate collection. So, I made a deal with a collector from the LCS and sold the Wilson for $125 cash. Went to the bank, deposited it, and then started hunting some bookcollector boards/sites.
I had considered looking for a PSA/DNA of this guy, but didn't feel particularly comfortable with some of the "authentic" signatures out there. What I did find was right up my alley, however.
So, with no further ado, here 'tis:
Easton Press Signed Edition of The Memoirs of Richard Nixon:
Super pumped to get this one in hand, finally. The price, including shipping was $131. So, subtracting the Wilson money (which, as we know, doesn't count as real money), this cost me $5!
It is odd that one of my biggest purchases is of a person who I really do not admire at all. Regardless of what he said, he was a crook. But, I wanted my Watergate collection to be as complete as possible, and, it's history, after all.
Surprisingly, his is not the most expensive Watergate signature that I was looking for. There are a couple other guys that will probably/definitely be pricier. I will get those one day (Hunt, Barker, Felt), but this one is awesome.
Anyways, we now return you to our regularly scheduled broadcast.
