Latest Maildays: Campanella 1/1 Bat End, Ott 1/1, Bench /3, and more!

[Baseball4life90]

Hey all!
It's been quite a crazy month for me- but was able to get these in over the last couple of weeks (since I bought the Clemente 1/1 Cut!)

I'll start off with the most recent which is this Campanella Bat End- I have the barrel as well (though, it's from Premier- but nonetheless happy to have both)!

Campanella:


Joined a break and hit the Ott /10, and then the 1/1 popped up, and then the /5- so here I am, attempting this rainbow

Ott's:


Had one of these Koufax's a while ago, sold it, and now was able to pick up another in auction :

Koufax:



Next up- a favorite year of Dynasty for me AND Griffey!:

Have been hunting for nice Bench patch auto- but it's tough to find- this was a fun TTT /3:

Bench:


One more FB find (this one is available) /10:

Picked this up at a show for a great deal:

Great stuff. This is my 2026 goal. No wax all year and buying more nice singles.

Very nice pick-ups. I think my favorite is the Campanella. Thanks for sharing.

What's with so many of the 2015 Dynasty Griffey's being messed up?

Highly recommend that! I did buy into 2 breaks of NT, and 1 box of A & G- other than that not much besides singles singles singles.

Thank you!!!
Got a great deal on it- and had to have it to match my bat barrel.

A lot of 2015's in general are messed up because of the sharpie they used on those. Off the top of my head, I've seen bad Deion sanders, lincecums, and others. It's sad- but I imagine the players hastily shut the magnetics on the cards after signing

I don't think Topps is sending the players magnetic cases in the mail, I suspect Topps themselves would be casing the cards in one touches or whoever they contract/hire to do that. Maybe the players stacked the cards on top of each other before they were dry?

Yeah players are 100% not encasing their own cards with Dynasty, Archives Signature Series, Luminaries, Chrome Black, etc. The issue is with the card stock and or pen used.

Hmmm that's possible- it definitely looks like cards get smudged from the cases though. I will try to find some other examples.

Possibly!
