RIP to arguably the greatest manager of the modern era.

Arguably.
Always came across as a gentleman.

Having Glavine, Smoltz, and Maddux certainly had to make managing that team somewhat simpler.

Only 1 World Series Championship? Am I right?
During a shortened strike season? Thats off the top of my head, feel free to correct me.

But yeah. Its sad to see him pass.
He always came across as a gentleman.

Yep only 1 title but 14 straight division championships which might never be repeated.

Big Braves fan so this is my fav card in my collection. Ol’ Henry was never known for his penmanship especially later in life 😆

Those shaky autos from the old guys always makes me kinda sad.

I have quickly put together a very nice autograph collection. These are easily my 2 favorite.

Funny story about the Trouts. I thought they were the Black version. They are not. They are the dark gray version. F Topps. So silly.

Is there a Reggie White in the house?

Some new pickups. I’ve decided to go after the Tim Duncan refractor run. He’s so undervalued.

Some Mike Trout PC Cards. I’ve got a Black Gold from every year these have come out. The other is a Holiday gold.

A cool Jordan insert and a very nice specimen of a 1960 Mantle.

Forgot to add the Charizard rare!!!

I don’t know if anyone follows the Chasing Carboard account on YouTube, but my buddy was featured on the newest episode that dropped today. Some crazy stuff if you’re into sealed boxes and a good chunk of his unopened collection is up right now on Pristine Auctions website.

Just watched.

Now I still don't know if I trust Chasing Cardboard guy. He is about making money and gets to see insane collections.

What your friend has is an insane modern collection.

He is spot on about that Curry RC box. I didn't buy much of it because I thought they looked terrible, lol.

The amount of unopened wax and what he has is pretty amazing, and to see it all in one place!

Dude makes bank to afford that stuff too, lol!

Agreed… That Curry card looks like a high school yearbook photo. If they only knew maybe they would have put more effort into the photo selection.

He’s got some crazy stuff. He’s on Instagram too… Sealed Wax Nation. Great page.

What I laughed at that he said was the packs he had stored away and opened.

You know how much stuff I had in my closet that I got antsy and had to open, lol?

So I had a bunch of stuff I had and stocked away only to have those years absolutely worthless... So I opened those too, lol.

I started over again and hopefully this run of sealed pans out.

We will see.

I have 400+ topps 1959 baseball cards to clean up. That should keep me busy for 6 months. I'm going to put the entire set together, even if it takes me 3 years. I'm going to take a break buying my vintage Mays, Mantle, Aaron, Clemente, and the rest of the 50s-70s HOFers.
I've done well building up a very nice collection, but now I am going to strictly work on the 1959 set.

I wish every card cleaned up like this. I would make BANK! But it's hit or miss.

Nice job. It's still there though.

If you can make the crease completely disappear though? Then you will have bank!

Mr. Critical

I can see the same thing the graders can, so can you.

I am really impressed with what youve done so far!

I will have some cards for you to help me with soon, lol!
