Almost got my whole set of ‘68 Tigers Topps. Only one left to purchase is the team card, the rest are on the way.

I like themes nowadays. Nice job.

Thanks. My next theme is Donruss checklists. I love the artist Painted portraits of the players. I like any artist paimted sports card really.

I believe those are Perez Steele drawings if memory serves me right?

I don't care for the newer artist included cards.

I am not as familiar with the newer artist cards all that much. I’m sure I would be partial though. I do think the Living Sets for purchase through Topps on-line are beautiful. I would like to eventually collect all the Tiger players in that series.

Edit: Also looking forward to learning about the artists who create the cards as I go.

I sent out a bunch of Diamond Kings in the 80s to the players and got a decent amount back signed. I could only locate one right now.

Nice, it really is a good looking card. Mattingly held that record until just a couple years ago I believe. I think in ‘21 it was broken by a player from Guardians. The 6(?) grand slams were the only ones of his 14(?) yr. career. Pretty cool stat.

He still holds the Yankees record of 52 doubles?

Some pretty nice stuff. I love the throwback Allen & Ginter cards. Some other pieces that stuck out to me are the Yankees team piece, the Mets team piece, the Reggie Bush, and I really liked the Babe Ruth one with the dark blue background. They’re all really pretty though.

Edit: Love the Ernie Banks rookie piece as well. That is a beautiful card and I want a graded OG bad.

Hi! · April 2023

A few more art cards to share. This Dominique one is one of my faves and a couple Mattingly’s I picked up recently.

Reach out to him. He would do a custom for you. He charges of course but he does them.

Went to grab an ‘81 Fleer for a tcdb trade and found this guy, lol!

HesCalledDyer · April 2023

I picked this up about a year or two ago. Author opens a pack of '86 'Topps and sets out to find all the players in the pack and hang out with them for a day. Quite interesting & fun read. Cool to get some stories & insights from some lesser known players of that era.

SPEEDY MCCREADY · April 2023

Hello Dyer! Good to see you!
My 1959 Willie Mays JUST showed up in the mail, and it looks awesome.
One day, in the near future, I am going to figure out how to post pics here(I used to know, about 10 years ago) and I will post some pics of my vintage collection.
