A few THC black ref RCs
A few NT jammie patch autos
A few TC color auto RCs

maybe $50-$70 total

Hard to believe he's only 25.

Been a slow winter, but happy to add this one. Breakout candidate?

Also picked up a Ragans Heritage Black RC, but another member already shared theirs.

This came in yesterday on a lowball offer that was accepted-$13 on a 29.99 obo listing


I don’t love sapphire purp but am a sucker for sapphire parallels in general. Just a few things trickling in before ST starts- all rare bums.
Nice Lodolo! I’m dreaming on a healthy return to form for him this year. It would be great to see he and Greene take that team to the playoffs this year.

Love the Gore card and that Seaver is a great looking card too

That is niiiiice

The Skenes effect must be bigger then I thought. Haven’t really looked at prices for any of my biggest bags in a few months (Ragans/gore/miller etc) as was only looking to add like /5 or better stuff and was shocked as mason prices.


350+ for an orange wave auto is fairly absurd. Makes me happy about the stuff I’ve held but also sad that if miller debut patch ever pops I can’t afford it and the days of buying guys that throw 102 for cheap may be over. At least degrom still a pretty big bargain so mostly just buying him

Damn… wonder what this is worth now. I couldn’t give it away at the National.

It may be a good time to find out^
That feels like potentially a nice conversion to hallowed pc item. Gather those skeeball tickets and head to the kiosk my friend?

If they noted him as a starter, I would list tomorrow

Damn. I just picked up a Miller 1st Bowman Chrome Auto Atomic Refractor /100. Too bad it's Noah Miller.

[LVDan]

Couple more things came in over the weekend.
In the sandbox of Rays pitchers I’m pretty heavy on Taj and Pepiot but still lacking some higher quality cards of Baz. Never mind the Garcia, he has no place here.

[hammertime]

Nice Taj's!

Maybe not the right place, but Cincy pitchers don't report until tomorrow and they already have their first arm issue. Rhett Lowder limited with elbow soreness.

Reds pitchers and catchers had to report yesterday. Most were there last week.

MLB website says first workout is Wednesday. Still an arm issue before official practice started.

They've been working out for a while as they ramp up. This actually happened previously as they waited until after the MRI was done. It came back clean. Just soreness, which is not unusual for a pitcher beginning to throw for the year.

Yup, still an arm issue. Maybe he should have gotten there last week to get the MRI, since they've known about it since early January.

Haven’t really been involved in the hobby much lately but managed to grab this! Hopefully he keeps progressing and has a big year!

A little Black Sapphire /10;

[rwperu34]

On the reccomendation of LVDan. If this goes south I'm going to be out $3.

Awesome card. I think the Guards really need him to have a good year. That injury in spring training threw off his entire season last year, so hopefully he can have a healthy season and bounce back.

That’s a nice card! I really think injuries are the only thing that can stop him from a Top 3 NLCY finish this year.
