Haha, yes you have an amazing collection!
Lodolo, Roansy, and Cruz are guys from the never ending NL only dynasty auction league. Like to collect players from teams like this. Greene was more a speculative buy, as he has potential to really stand out like others don’t. Didn’t want to completely miss out.

My biggest baseball regret last year was passing on the Shane-O Mac Daddy TC Super that sat on eBay all off season.
Thought about it so many times. Ended up with an orange for about 1/3 of what they go for now.
I’m jealous of the design on most of his rookies. They are so much better looking than Cease counterparts (minus finest flashback).

It's not that I got a steal. But I got the card I want at a price I was willing to pay (it was a best offer accepted). I actually think I slightly overpaid, but it was a PC card I intend to tuck away in my collection, so I'm happy.

Hunter Greene Gilded Collecition incoming.

Spent triple digits on a pitcher.

He's a HOF'er.

Condition isn't great.

It's really, really old.

It's gotta pass authentication.

You grabbed that crappy orange with the slightly low centering?!

Awesome card. Massive respect for King Felix.

Jered Weaver vs. Felix Hernandez was must-see.

Edit: Surprised to read this:

Quote:

The Angels won seven of the first nine Weaver-Hernandez duels, with Weaver going 5-1 with a 3.02 earned-run average in those games and Hernandez going 1-6 with a 5.88 ERA.

Good guess. Technically wrong, didn't pass through authentication

Damn. Still a looker.
Unrelated kinda- I was at a local show on Saturday negotiating w/ a dealer when some guy came up asking if he was buying. When he took a stack outta the backpack it was a yellowed lucite brick party. Probably (30)1960s superstars(no Mick)and every single one of them was half cocked like some hammered dude back in the early 80s inserted them. Weren't those bricks like $5-10ea back in the day? You'd think if protection was such a concern that you dedicate the $ for those holders(not to mention the damn storage space and WEIGHT they'd take a moment to insert them properly?? I didn't see it they were the recessed ones or not but still...

I agree on the Topps Chrome Superfractor as I messed up by not buying it. I’ve never seen the 2021 Topps Chrome Auto Superfractor, 2021 Topps Chrome Black Superfractor, 2021 Bowman Sterling Auto Superfractor, 2021 Topps Chrome Ben Baller Superfractor, 2021 Topps Chrome Sapphire Padparadscha & Superfractor, 2021 Bowman Chrome Padparadscha, and 2021 Heritage High Number Superfractor.

So there is still a ton of nice Superfractors out there. I’d love to have several of the ones that haven’t shown up.

My first Cabrera Topps Chrome auto. One finally popped up at the right price. He rising up fantasy draft boards. I don’t think I’ll be able to sneak him in with my last pick anymore.

Beautiful.

Thanks for the reminder that my collection is lacking one of these.

You high rollers just throwing around these gorgeous sapphires…

LVDan · 02-08-2023, 10:12 PM

That Greene is a looker!

Made a concerted effort last week to find a few more Tmacs n Mclanahans while maintaining my devotion to Jesus with small contributions always.

As far as I’m concerned, if you believe in a player, then load up on his base Sapphire. Especially if they cost less than a Starbucks frappuccino.

(Regular-set Sapphire, anyway, where the PR is around 1100. Update’s PR is more than double.)

Here I am waiting for my Gilded base card to show up. I can't keep up with you. I'm not worthy.

Congrats on the great pickup.

Ah, so you’re the one who snatched that gold McKenzie from me.
