    I got a 25 card sub back. Mostly ohtanis. The others were Alonso, Gorman, Griffey, bichette and Vlad jr. All 10’s but the griffeys. They grade any one super damn tough. 

    That SP 7 of Ohtani I got I think PSA dropped my damn card. 

    How do u get 10’s across the board w a 9 here and there and get a 7?

    I check my cards very carefully. It’s a rare occasion that I miss something. I don’t recall seeing that.

    If you are collecting 2023 chrome cards, expect another buy back from Topps.

    Looks like Ohtani for MVP but NL there is Acuna and maybe Olson?

    Anywho the Ohtani base I'd trade but the numbered stuff I'd keep.

    I haven't bought 1 single pack of topps 2023 product this year...

    So.  NFLPA has decided to cut it's ties w Panini.  Basically handing tis over to Fanatics now.  They are truly going to monopolize MLB, NBA and now NFL.  The only one left standing will be Upper Deck whom has a lock, for now, on the NHL.

    I expect prices to increase a lot on cards if Fanatics is in charge.  I see what they did to game used and players autos in general.

    It will be interesting.

    Not sure how they get away with it?  Fleer and Donruss fought Topps years ago and won.  Not sure why they can't do that now?

    A key point to remember as well is that UD only has exclusive rights to NHL trading cards. That's what enables Topps to already sell fully licensed NHL stickers.

    Yep, and UD makes classic college cards and Cabinet NBA cards.  They did some awesome MJ stuff recently.  

    I don't know anyone that cares about the stickers?

    New Show pickups. Won the signed jersey in a raffle. Also bought an ichiro RC and 80 trout commons. 

    September I’ll be at the big Philly show and October is the Hofstra show.

    I went to a small-ish show at Dave and Adams yesterday.  It was good.  Could have spent much more time there, but just wanted to get my feet wet and I had my kid there who was overwhelmed.  

    My kid got a nice tri-color patch of Dylan Cozens, a $2 repack of Goodwin Champions, a really cool refractor Tatis card, and an old school Anaheim Mighty Ducks puck.

    I found a table with a pretty large raw vintage selection (had some beautiful vintage basketball slabs too).  Went through it as quick as I could and grabbed these that I liked.  Nothing great or anything.  Just cards that I enjoyed that were in decent shape with a good price.  I think these 8 cost me $30 or something like that.




    I also bought this pack of 81 Donruss for $7.

    Any Gwynn rc is a good rc!

    Did you open the pack?  81 Donruss has a bunch of cool errors in them.

    Yeah, I opened the pack.  Didnt look close enough for errors.  Lots of big hair and mustaches though.

    I did get one of the best cards in the set, just from a coolness perspective:

    Brett batted 390 that year.  I know Carew was well over 300.  Such a cool card.

    Yeah, before I opened the pack, I looked up the most valuable 21 cards from the set.  This one was like #5 and a PSA 10 would be like $125.  However, I immediately knew I really wanted that card.  Would have loved the Raines or Ozzie too.

    Holy crap, lot of people signing there that weekend!


    Also, not this weekend but the following weekend they are having retro-con there. I went like 5 years ago to that. It was fun.

    The Fleer cards have even more errors.  I have a Rose with no number and a "Craig" Nettles error.

    One I really really want is the John Littlefield 81 fleer reverse negative.  I've always wanted that one.
