Picked up a number of different Price Chrome Auto's (1 base, 2 ref's, 1 Xfractor) including this one. He's one of the best young arms in baseball and still pretty cheap:

$(KGrHqF,!qsE-ZQP0IpcBP2TqvHnSw~~60_12.JPG


Back from an era where the Xfractor was the second rarest parallel, these seem like a real deal to me for a guy with a Cy Young Award and a second place finish already to his credit:
$(KGrHqF,!osE-vo82U15BP1pR2PF(Q~~60_12.JPG


And this one is really interesting. Picture shows one, but the listing was for 6 gold refractors, 5 of which are 9.5's. Papelbon's ERA+ is actually only a little worse than Mariano's (though of course Mariano has done it for far longer) and his stats are pretty solid this year with a WHIP of .900 and a K/BB ratio over 6. It's the kind of listing I believe would have done far better individually, which is likely what I will do with them:

I fell in love with this card when GQ came out last year. Happy to finally own a copy.

First time encountering this. I already had the 'real' #'d 10/25. All the seller had in the title serial #'d/25 and nothing in the description. So, I guess they used a back doored one and a case w/the Topps Hologram on there to make this one. You can tell it's not the standard and usual Topps serial #'ing that has become recognizable. Not sure if the seller knew this or they got duped as well. I know I'm not thrilled about it ...

Here are my recent pickups.

Had to pick this up when I noticed the variation. Numbered 0058/2000. I'm a little OCD and would not feel my set was complete without both versions.

insane pickups!! Loving the 2000 Fleer Greats. Are you familiar with the set as a whole? Had a couple questions I was hoping to ask someone in the know...

Got this tonight (along with a Bray Panini Auto). The Mahogany was a card I havent seen since I started collecting Bray in 06 (although I havent checked eBay for the last 2ish years). It went for more than I wanted to pay but wasn't going to let it slip away. I'm assuming it was set-builders that were also going after it.
