Thanks! Been watching it on Ebay for months. Finally decided to move a couple of my Murphy relics I didn’t really love to fund it. Love this set and still looking to pick up parallels I dont have yet.

One of my favorites. The lower-number stuff is in high demand, especially the /10 and the framed 1/1.

Great pickup! Living in WV in the early 80’s, he’s the reason the I and my brother wore #3 as kids. I’m sure we aren’t the only ones.

Thanks! Love this set but they’re hard to come by with my card budget.

No problem Reggie. I, for one, don’t mind looking at a great looking 8 again!

I was wrong about 2005 Bowman Heritage having the only on-card Auto of Cutch's first go round with the Pirates. 2011 Gypsy Queen Framed Mini Relics Autographed /25.

A little disappointed in the obvious slash across the bottom right corner that wasn't visible in the eBay photo.

Nice OBrien- share with us the backstory on that one please. Ironically I’m almost for sure going down a similar path with my pickups

The O'Brien is the Target Rookie Auto/10 out of 2016 Topps Update.

I'm about halfway done with the Target and Walmart autograph sets.

Luckily that was a weaker RC class so the prices are more manageable.

Chris P · 10-05-2024, 11:17 AM

Ohtani Rookie Mailday today...The Topps 3D rookie. Print run I believe is 269

That’s what I thought it might be, like that elusive Ronny I saw 5 years ago. Who else has the autos in that set?

Both sets have 19 cards.

Berrios, Story, Mazara, Urias, Snell, Taillon, Giolito, Fulmer, Byung Ho Park, Conforto, Jon Gray, Maeda, O'Brien, Piscotty, Sano, Schwarber, and Seager are in both sets.

Severino and Turner only in the Target set.

Nola and Henry Owens are only in the Walmart set.

Very strange configuration.

Jazz Chisholm · 10-05-2024, 12:32 PM

Some 90’s inserts

LVDan · 10-05-2024, 12:35 PM

Very interesting. Needle in a haystack odds in a less than desirable retail format and the normal mix of perennial all stars and washouts. As a fan of that rat faced witch Blake Snell I tried to add the Walmart version of his a couple years back but in a shocker I was too cheap to land it on best offer. Luckily flipped a Urias awhile back in between two of his GF rageahol incidents

JMStang · 10-05-2024, 02:14 PM

A fitting October pick up for my Ranger fan son.

The O'Brien is a great-looking card. Funny, I like that 90s Topps design more now than when it was released. haha.
