I was actually part of it I received an invite from our ticket rep and was able to sit in on the call. But no, I don't have an Instagram for my cards. I have an account, I don't use it though. I've been wanting to start. I know there's a lot of collectors on there.

Nice tsc chrome 1st day grab.
That was one of the last more affordable 90s boxes I’ve opened, think it ran me about $70. Best pull was the Reef 1st day and was also the only card in the entire box damaged. Portion of an edge was jacked up. Think I wound up selling it to a Reef collector so allz goodz.

Only one in my collection now is the Pierce that I pulled in ‘99.

Been slow going on the Armstrong front but I have added these 2 over the last month. The Inkredible is such a sharp card. Someone had the Gold /10 on Ebay a few months ago for $800 buy it now and I'm not gonna lie, I damn near bought it. I thought about it for a while and eventually talked myself off the edge. Kinda wish I hadn't now but one will pop up some day and I'll aquire it. Hope everyone is doing well

Always so hard when a card you need is overpriced and you would have to pay more than you "should" in order to acquire it. I literally went through that dilemma yesterday.

As you said, one will pop up eventually!

[Vinny407]

Huge one for me arrived today. 02/03 Fleer Hot Shots dual gu'd /50. I've been collecting DA for and long time and as far as I know, this is his only patch card!! Now I know the card is a "jersey" card and the other cards in the set are mainly only jerseys as well, but I've seen 2 other copies of this over the last 15 years and they both had patches for Armstrong too. Not sure why Fleer used patches for him but I'm glad they did as he wouldn't have one in existence had they not. Really glad I finally have one

So glad I can finally bump this thread with a mail day!! Gold Label Red /100. Gorgeous cards. The 1/1 was on Ebay around 2015 and I missed it. This will do for now

This is such a cool card! I used to own a Marbury/Marion back when I collected Marbury but they were hideous piping patches. Congrats on landing it!

Thanks! Some have patches, some jerseys and some piping. Definitely a great set either way

Love the red labels!!! Nice addition!

[Vinny407]

2 in 2 weeks!!! Just received this today. 00/01 SPX Spectrum parallel /25.

How about some additions over the past 2 years?? Although I haven’t been updating here, I haven’t slowed down and have landed some huge cards for my Armstrong collection. Here’s the biggest ones.


01/02 UD Pros and Prospects Alley-Oop Team-Ups dual game jerseys Gold /25.

00/01 Fleer Ultra Platinum Medallion /50. Only need his 03/04 to have every Platinum.

99/00 Topps Gold Label Class 2 Red Label /50.


21/22 NT Material Treasures and Retro Materials Prime /25. Not sure why Panini randomly choose DA for these sets, but ecstatic they did!!

01/02 UD MVP Game Night Gear auto. This one took a surprisingly long time to find as there are only 100 signed copies per player.

00/01 Topps Chrome Black Refractor /50. Beautiful card.

00/01 Fleer Authority Prominence Parallel /75. Regular Prominence parallels were /125. Graded copies were limited to only 75.

01/02 UD Pros and Prospects Game Jersey auto Gold /50.

99/00 UD HardCourt Baseline Grooves Silver Parallel /50. Huge for any player collector.

00/01 UD Slam Extra Strength Gold Parallel /25. This is one I never thought I’d even see let alone own. Another collector on IG referred to these as “ghost cards” and they were pretty accurate. There’s only a few on EBay at any given time. I was lucky enough to purchase this one from a collector in Norway who happened to be an Armstrong fan around the time this came out, so he had it in his collection for 20 years before deciding to move it.
That’s all for now. I’ll try to update more regularly moving forward. Happy collecting everyone!!!

Very nice Armstrong pick-ups, Vinny407. I think the Ultra Platinum is my favorite.

It must be nice for you that they are making new NT cards of his. Thanks for sharing.

[duron]

Good to see you haven’t stopped.

Incredible photo on his 00-01 Plat

Thanks! Yes, his inclusion in NT was an awesome surprise for me. He had autos in some 12/13 products but nothing since until this year.

Yeah, that Platinum is a great card all around. I don’t think I could stop collecting cards even if I wanted to!!

[GeeDee]

Awesome cards. I PC Penny then magic stuff on the side and have a spare DA 03-04 platinum medallion.

Love those Championship Preview PMGs

major congratulations!

[8collector34]

Sick stuff. I remember Darrell well. All around good PG. He could defend, pass, shoot, control the ball.

Happy hunting!

[bkcardcollector]

That's the goods, to get a cornerstone after all these years must feel good.

There are some advantages to the downturn in the market! Hope some cards pop up for my pc now more than ever.

Well done, happy for you. Pretty good grade too considering how old, but probably got a good deal on it because of the 8 tho.

[pokemaniac]

Just saw this on insta, congrats.
