Very nice! I recently found this jersey numbered Andrelton/Netherlands on Comc. It's shipping out next week and excited to see it in hand!

Stuff I got from the recent Arizona State Card Show and a few from previous shows I didn't do videos on.

I don't do a lot of baseball, but I'm fond of 90s Holograms and Gold cards I can find in the bargain bin. Even found a ceramic card of a HoFer.

1991 Upper Deck Ted Williams Hologram
1992 Gold Entertainment Babe Ruth Hologram
1993 R&N Ceramic Nolan Ryan
1996 CMC Jim Palmer
1997 Bleachers Jackie Robinson

Also my Topps keeper highlights.

I know most of these are nothing special, but 90s parallels and inserts are special to me.

1993 Topps Gold Barry Bonds
1994 Topps Gold Nolan Ryan
1995 Topps Spectralight Barry Bonds
1995 Topps Spectralight Randy Johnson
1997 Topps Season's Best Frank Thomas
2001 Topps Traded Greg Maddux 1987
2012 Topps Chrome Refractor Chipper Jones

Newest Ohtani pickup..a little color match blue mojo refractor

Newest Judge pickup

Today's mailday

Very Very Excited for today's mailday. I'm a sucker for game used cards. Some of my favorite Ohtani's are the game used cards I have, like a game used letter patch, his Player's Weekend Rookie Game Used Jersey card, his dual patch card with Judge, but this card was on my wantlist the second I saw they were made. I'll never be able to afford the autographed version, but I was able to pick up a non auto'd version and am thrilled to own one.





So cool to own a little bit of history from that game

I've been focusing my hobby attention pretty heavily on the Reds (and non-sports) in the past couple of months. Here are some recent additions to the PC

Time to revive this thread a little

Really love discovering sets like this. Never knew these existed because I was out of the baseball card world for a long while. The relics on these are from game-used fielding gloves, which most players don't give up easily, especially guys known for their defensive fielding prowess like Larkin.

I don't pop in on the baseball thread much, but that cleat card is NUTS

Got my first Skenes card in yesterday

So I had a Randy Orton Topps Chrome Auto that I've been waiting a year to be redeemed. I finally decided to ask for a replacement and take advantage of the 200% value for a redemption outstanding for 6 months or more. I'm pretty happy with the replacement

Today's Mailday

Got this in today

Big Ohtani mailday (that should've come in yesterday, but Fedex didn't come until today)

Ohtani Black Logofractor Image Variation numbered to 10

Got this in today

Been a while since I added a Griffey to my collection. Love the look of this 90's insert

Those are so nice. I like how the baseball ones are die cut. I pulled a Kevin Garnett one when I was a kid and traded it for a box and some cash at a card shop, but IIRC none of the basketball ones were die cut.

Yeah the basketball ones aren't die cut
