And to celebrate wrapping up building my Soto stash, I thought I'd share my "to grade" pile. Some of you guys put this to shame, but I have a few decent cards in here. The mini is 22/100

Sick man! Gold Heritage for sale by chance?

Thank you, but it's not for sale--going into the vault for my nieces and nephew once I get it slabbed

You Sir, have a large wallet!

Not as large as I used to

Seriously, most of my pickups were funded by selling off my non-sports collection that a built several years ago. I was lucky that I had mostly bought cards that were still of interest.

I've got a long post about the why in my history, but the short version is I wanted to be sure my collection was in something that required little expertise to move beyond some eBay searches or talking to a consignment seller in the event I'm not around to sell them. Which is why I want to get all of these graded, even if I don't see all of them being Gems.

Very nice red refractor! I really think that could be one of his most sought after cards in the long run. It's got great eye appeal, matches the team color, etc.

If moving it, give me a shout. I'm a little jealous, and I'd definitely be a buyer!!

tconte · 02-25-2019, 07:23 PM

Good stuff all. Look at all those great cards. Some nice Heritage!

I have two graded with some other no big deal cards out for grading.
