Yup, the card market collapsed!

I don't think anyone wants to see the 30 plus Red Man Tobacco commons I got.

Was able to pick these all up in a deal. Always looking for Phillips cards. But overall big add to the PC.

Picked up my first 2 Heritage black refractors.

To me this card epitomizes Rickey. My favorite card of his ever. Really clean copy too

Nice! I was definitely watching this. I didn’t put in a bid but watching super rare and awesome cards like this is just fun.

That was probably the one at auction that had a smashed bottom right corner. I was watching it too, but decided to pass because of the damage. Then, as luck has it, this one popped up the next morning so I messaged the seller an offer and he accepted it right away.

[WillBBC]

Beautiful stuff top to bottom. That Rickey is tremendous!

Thanks to jayjones82 for this one!

Certainly feels that way. Even the forum is slow. Last year about this time I would come home and there'd be a page and a half of threads to go through with new posts, now we're lucky if it's 3/4 of a page worth of new activity. Some will say it's just the forum life dying, and for their sake I hope that's all it is because if not I'm going to be insufferable.

[Stech36]

I am down to four more needed for my set. Picked up the last huge name, now just need a few of the rarer ones

Grades finally popped on these. Love having the “matching” pair of 1/1 RCs for Goldy :)!

I don't know what they put in the drinking water in his hometown, but his extended family from Venezuela has produced over 60 pro baseball players, including 8 MLB players. Pretty sure Ronald Acuna Jr. is one of his cousins.

Picked up some Bellinger cards recently:

1990 Pads trade Carter & Roberto Alomar to Jays for McGriff & Tony Fernandez

Jays then win 92 & 93 WS

I can't even pick a favorite here.

(Ok, maybe I can. It's the 1/1. Such a beautiful card.)

Amazing additions top to bottom.

Picked this up on eBay for under $50 shipped. I honestly thought this was going to get cancelled due to the low BIN price. But a black /10 that is jersey numbered and a PSA 9 of a hot player. I’ll take it!

Had a bowling cash payout last night. Decided to get some goodies on my want list and whatever else looked nice.

All in person local pickups from my favorite shops.

Went to a show today with a coworker. I bought the tickets and paid for parking (and also drove), so he bought me a hanger pack instead of giving me the $11. I think I won that deal, lol. Going to post to eBay tomorrow.
