I picked this up in January. Took a while to arrive with new eBay Authentication. Was sitting unopened for about a month until a week ago. I hold on to my pickups and open my card mail on long days when I need a morale boost. The "new pickup" here is realizing on close inspection there is a second, partial, signature!! Munson tried to sign on the front, but the pen didn't work, some streaks so he switched to the back. It wasn't listed as such by the seller. A nice surprise!

I am trying to display a few key cards from my collection with their corresponding wax box/packaging. I feel this creates more interest than a simple row of slabs. This Heritage box will have to do until I can get an empty 1975 Topps box to complement this. Although as a Yankee fan, I don't mind having Cole over the Mets pitcher (?Seaver) who graces the 1975 packaging.

Thanks man! Just got back from another card show and while these pickups aren't as impressive value wise I had a good time.

That’s a great idea to combine the box art with the card. Neat pickup there.

One thing to keep in mind about sitting on an unopened mail package- if more than 3 days, you could be out of luck if you open it and something’s wrong with the order or major damaged undisclosed etc. Since ebay gives 3 days for INAD claims. Unless it’s ebay authenticity like this of course, then it doesn’t really matter.

Thank you! You are right, damages are a big concern. I didn't know about the 3 day policy.

Taking a flier on this fellow Jersey native. Price was right and he throws gas. Will be fun to follow.

Wow! VEry nice!

No pictures but end of last month decided to slow down on the prospect buying, a little, and focus on my original PC of Frank Thomas. I am buying at least 1 Big Hurt a day that I don't have every day this month. 13 days in and it's getting hard. I'm sticking with main brands and pre 2000 for now but may have to dabble in 2000 and up. Other caveat is not looking to go crazy expensive either. Biggest was a failry mint looking 1998 Ultra DIamond Producers which are very hard to find in decent condition.
