Grail Picked Up at the National
My big pickup from the National!!!
1998 Essential Credentials Now /25 I am so thrilled to add this amazing card to my collection. This card completes my run of Essential Credentials from 97-99. I didn't find this card at a dealer table. But got it from a fellow Blowout member. Big thanks to you (I won't identify you unless you want me to for the sake of your privacy). I've said it before, every big Larkin I have has a story where some other collector has had a hand in my acquiring the card. This community is great, and I'm so thankful for you all for looking out for me when you see a Larkin card. I had such a great time at the National this year. Not only did I get to spend it with my wife, like usual. But this year, I got to meet several of you. We hunted for cards together, helped each other find hidden gems via the group chat, and it made the show that much more enjoyable. I can't wait for next year!

Congrats! That is huge! I can’t believe you finished this one. I assumed there’d be some rare Crusade card when I clicked on the thread. But that is awesome!

Extremely cool to see. These and other late 90s/occasionally early 00s super rare inserts are my favorite cards in the hobby-i spend easily 20-30 mins avg per day checking my saved searches on all the buy/sell apps for cards exactly like this.

Did you just walk up to a booth and find it there, or did you know where to find it? That's a dream collection.
edit: I need to read before posting |

Congrats on the pickup! I hope to be able to go to The National someday with my son and find something as impactful to my collection. Its getting extremely difficult to find any big Matt Moore stuff these days!!!
