Funny how much that can mean to one team, considering it was only one playoff appearance that ended with a loss in the Divisional Series.

He was a menace during that stretch. I've never been so relieved when a player left the central!

Does anyone know the print run on the base versions? I couldn’t find almost any for sale or on 130point. Edit: looks like roughly /12 or /13 for the base waves

I was in dozens upon dozens of 2021 Stadium Club Chrome breaks and was fortunate enough to have a McClanahan Wave Refractor pulled for me. It is the only one that I have ever seen. I could possibly have the entire rainbow except for the wave refractor if I hadn't got him in that break. I think it is certainly possible that there are less than 10 of each player and I saw someone post that the rookies are shorter printed. I don't know if that is necessarily true though.

I'll share a couple of new ones today:

I hope you don’t mind, but I edited the photo to make the colors and such pop a little more.

Now I’ve officially jumped the shark. Bought a fourth tier pajama brand card of one of these guys for almost triple digits. Highly questionable decision fueled by some nicely profited recent sales. I’ll share next week.

TruBlueBrewCrew · 02-05-2023, 10:40 PM

Can’t wait to see what it is, Dan.

I was the underbidder on a sapphire /25 Hunter Greene tonight (as well as about 6 other cards).

Sold the Eury Perez/18 and picked up the Black /50 in its place. Will post a picture when it gets here.

Also bought a few Freddy Peralta BCA 1st’s. An /250 and this /99

Hey man, there’s an Optic red cracked ice /7 of my guy that’s making my eyes bug out. I hardly even know what Optic red cracked ice even means (probably something like “unlicensed Topps Chrome red atomic refractor”), but I sure am tempted.

I wouldn’t ever buy it, of course. But Flawless and NT are different stories…..

It’s official: that Hunter Greene orange Clearly Authentic went a tad high…

This is a lesson I should learn one day. Focus.
Instead of always chasing the next colorful fall of yarn.
Nice Freds.

I think it's more that that purple went low. Had I seen it, I would have snatched it up at that price. I wish I had the time to be on ebay all the time. I feel like I already spend a ton of time there searching for cards, but miss deals all the time that I wish I'd seen. I guess I need to get better at browsing. I'm still kicking myself for missing a BIN the other day that went for a fraction of what I would have paid.

Admit it, while you were typing that you fell in love with some cellar dwellers’ 5th starter and bought four high-end Panini NT parallels of his for $15 combined!

I might have grabbed that BIN.

I’m going with a combo of both. A blue sold for not quite twice as much as the purple, so we certainly could’ve expected the purple to approach $200. But $700! That dwarfs an orange Wander sale.

Regardless, love seeing the Hunter enthusiasm!

Here's a favorite Koufax.

I like the 08 Scherzer Stadium Club auto too.

BeastMode27 · 02-06-2023, 04:53 PM

Not all pitchers, but my biggest baseball mailday in 2 years.

1/1

The Cruz is a lock 10 in my opinion. Greene and Roansy should be as well. Lodolo possibly too OC to risk a 9. Probably send them in. Haven’t graded any baseball in a long while. Going to send a stack of Cease in as well.

holy crap
living up to your handle my friend, wow!!
Lodolo may be inside the 55/45 threshold too

BGeezy · 02-06-2023, 05:10 PM

Jesus, Mary, and Joseph!

...when did Cruz become a pitcher???

Unbelievable mail day.

TruBlueBrewCrew · 02-06-2023, 06:51 PM

Wow. Yeah, I’d say that’s a pretty killer mail day. Congrats!

And dan’s got some Roansy competition! Ha

Just when I think I’m done buying, I splurge a little. Just bought this.

I appreciate BeastMode27:

His name has Beast in it.

He collects Cease like I do McClanahan.

He’s a collecting machine overall.

For stuff I like that’s like mailday of the year so far, much less a random post in our lil ol pitchers thread. I grabbed a ton of mail just now(normally stuff I’d rip open and post here) but now… reminds me of the scene in Better off Dead where Lane buys his ex a lil teddy bear for her bday and looks at it while she’s on the phone telling him her new bf bought her one “so big, it’s bigger than me!”

then chucks it in the trash
