That’s nice. Before I even read what you wrote I noticed how bold and clean that auto is. Great pick up.

Now doesn't look like the time to post my Chris Weinke auto I got in the mail today.

Late Sept pickup but I just opened the package this morning. For my set... Blyleven 20/20

Some more Heritage Black Refractor action to kick off the month.

I'm just about 33% of the way done with the 2004 - 2012 run.

A tough PC card checked off! High number/black border = zero PSA 10's and only 19 PSA 9's.

Nice! Those black borders are brutal!

Not many card shows in my area, but popped in to a small one at a Best Western. 90% hockey, but found this beaut for a song in a random box. #/25

That is gorgeous!

Picked up a steal of a deal on this beautiful 2004 Topps Chrome David Ortiz red X-Fractor. These are actually limited to /63 but they aren't serial numbered


Also got this Jarren Duran /10![IMG]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20251007/c52d88c45e6eb1147edf1c60ce665288.jpg[/IMG]

while not a Red Sox fan, the red x-fractor of that card looks great. I have a red x of Jeter and they look amazing in hand. super hard to find these anymore

Pumped to add a new Joey Belle signed card to my collection.

Just in time for October baseball… I got this slab back today…

I like that year of Museum.

Here’s a nice one for me - 2003 Topps Chrome Silver refractor from a mail-in redemption program. Not numbered, but thought to have a circulation under 50

Oh my goodness. I wasn’t aware of how rare those were until I watched RiceBondsMntna2Young’s Bonds mailday video where he explained it a bit. Great pickup Scooter.

Super nostalgic one in today. For all us old heads, Felix chrome autos were so hot 20 years ago. I remember I saved up for months to buy a refractor auto for a couple hundred

I wanted to upgrade my current PSA 10 to a centered PSA 10, so I picked this one up. I loved this card when it first came out. I thought the action photo was amazing.

In the last two days I snagged a 2013 SSP and a 2013 Camo /99 that have both been on my want list for > 5 years. Makes the other 99 search refreshes over the last 99 days feel less dumb. Not to mention the optimism to re-load them again tomorrow.

[B]2005 Topps Turkey Red Gold Parallel 306 Josh Gibson #/50[/B] -- A throwback to the historic Turkey Red set released in 1911, fittingly the same year Josh Gibson was born. It features my favorite image of Gibson, used frequently on multiple sets including famously his USPS Postage Stamp.

Gibson doesn't have very many cards. I don't feel Shakey's Pizza should be worth what it is, but the HoF collectors are all over it along with Laughlin Black Stars set which is just a caricature. I am still on the lookout for a NSCC Lelands Toleteros promo for the right price. Many of his subsequent A&G, Topps flagship and Stadium Club cards have photoshopped team logos. In his small library of cards, I feel this set remains as his best modern release even after 20 years. I prefer the matte textured finish to the shine of some of his refractored releases. This card has the same picture and print run as his 2023 Bowman Chrome Refractor which goes for hundreds more. I also have a Red parallel which is a nice color match to his uniform, but excited to add this Gold /50.

I remember Shakey's Pizza. Didn't know they had cards though.

This just came back from PSA. Was hoping for a 9, but I'll take the acetate 8.

Some Jim Thome for your Thursday viewing. It's tough to find 1998 Elite Status that aren't beat up. I was really happy with the condition of this one.
