Football slab pickups from a recent card show in July

1985 Topps Roger Craig

I now have PSA slabs of Craig in 1984, 1985, 1986, & 1988.
Not a HoFer, but IMO he should be. One of the few non-HoFers that isn't a PC player I'll pick up cards of other than his RC


2014 Topps Chrome Davante Adams Refractor (RC)

I had the base Chrome Adams in a PSA 9 now I add this to the mix.
He's got a shot at a HoF spot, but his time is running out for more stat padding and a title.



2021 Donruss Optic Micah Parsons (RC)

I had a Blue Scope in an SGC 8 so now I add the base in a PSA 9
Young player entering his 4th year who has a chance at a HoF spot if he keeps playing close to how he has his first 3 years.

Another card show another run of pickups.

2000 Topps Chrome Johnny Unitas Reprints (1971)


I won't keep this DHop since it isn't Chrome, but it was too cool not to pick up and was the right price.
2013 Topps Museum Collection Rookie Quad Relics Copper /50


2015 Topps Chrome Sepia /99 Rookie of an underrated receiver IMO. I now unintentionally have like 14 different Chrome Lockett RCs between the base, the base SP variation, various refractor parallels, and various 60th Anniversary inserts in retro designs.

Dope vintage pickup from a card show 2 weeks ago.

1958 Topps of HoFer and former commentator Frank Gifford

Got these in today, The Grange had been on my want list for a while

Some great vintage pickups from a recent card show

1958 HoFer


1973 RC of a guy who SHOULD be in the HoF but isn't

Recent card show pickup. He's had a rough last few years, but he'll absolutely be in the HoF someday.

2014 Topps Chrome Mini Pulsar Refractor /102

More card show pickups.

The only one I'll keep in the bunch is this Fitz Gold /2014. Traded a duplicate Russell Wilson Chrome RC PSA 8 for it.


These I got as a part of a different trade. Although they're cool, I've already found a trade partner for them and I'll be picking up more for the PC in return for them.

A few HoFer oddball pickups from a recent card show. Paid a whopping $3 each.
Both have a 1998 Topps card with a gold foil "Topps Action Flats" logo on them. Not rare, but something you don't see often.

Been wanting a Jim Thorpe Game Used card for a while now. Finally got one

Mahomes White Sparkle Pickup

Another haul of mostly HoFer slabs.

1985 Topps HoFer


1990 Pro Set HoFer RC (upgrade from a PSA 8)


1990 Topps HoFer Joe Cool


1998 Topps Chrome HoFer


2009 Topps Chrome Blue Refractor of future 1st ballot HoFer


2012 Topps Chrome pair of recent HoF inductee

Here are a couple of pretty sweet Colts pickups I've gotten in the mail recently. They are two of the coolest relic concepts ever done, in my opinion.

Check the COA on back for why this one is so cool.


2001 Leaf Rookies and Stars Cross Training #CT9 Cris Carter/Reggie Wayne /100 by SMosley21x, on Flickr

And this monster. Probably top 5 pickup of 2024 for me. Cards from this set are extremely tough to find these days, especially of players who have any sort of big fanbase.


2000 Collector’s Edge Masters GameGear Leatherbacks #EJ Edgerrin James /12 by SMosley21x, on Flickr

Always wanted an EX Rookie so finally got one

Both of those are beasts. I'd never seen/noticed the "Leatherbacks" insert before. That's badass!

That's a grail right there.

Another show another haul.

Picked this up in a trade to go with my base PSA 9 & Refractor PSA 8. Future HoFer.


$6 pickup. I like Aiyuk he's underappreciated. No idea how he hasn't made a Pro Bowl yet.


Worth the $15. He's still young and could blossom after Jacksonville.


Worth the $12. Another young guy I won't spend much on yet.

Two pickups from a recent Record Show hahaahahhahahahhaha
