Always fun to get a new Ohtani in on a day he makes history!

Latest Judge Pickup

Youthquake was one of my favorite inserts from the Original Basketball Chrome set so I saw this Witt and had to get it

Got this in yesterday, 2018 Topps 3D Ohtani Rookie Card. Print Run is 269

Nice cards! I really love the look of those 93 Topps Golds

Another Ohtani Rookie Cup Parallel Pick Up

Haven't picked up a ton of stuff lately but here are a few for my Reds PC that I've gotten in the past month or so.

I liked this one because Boone doesn't have many prime patches from his time with the Reds. This is one of the bigger patches too.

2021 Topps Allen and Ginter Chrome Red Refractors #299 Tyler Stephenson 5/5 by SMosley21x, on Flickr

This one is for a team set that I'm slowly building. I love the shine on these, and the Reds checklist is pretty damn solid.

2005 Topps Pristine Legends Gold Die Cut Refractors #37 Tom Seaver C /65 by SMosley21x, on Flickr

I've been wanting to add one of these for a long time, even the one numbered to 250, but when I saw the #50 Jumbo version, I knew I had to get it

Got my first Soto Yankees card in today. Rose Gold Refractor from Topps Black numbered to 15

Got my first Ohtani Dodgers card in today. I acutally won this a couple weeks ago but shipping was slow and it had to go through the Ebay Authentication program so just getting it in today. Worth the wait. Gold Sapphire!

Got this in today

Another Freddie Rookie to add to my collection

Newest Judge Pickup!

Love Letter Patches

This took forever to come in, won this November 22nd, but worth the wait

This Ohtani took a while to get here (I won it December 2nd) but it finally arrived. As a kid, 1992-93 Stadium Club Beam Teams were grail cards. I wanted the Jordan and Shaq soooo bad but a) Stadium Club Series 2 was very hard to find. I only found it once, at a Walden Book Store of all places, I bought a pack with my allowance and pulled...absolutely nothing lol, and b) couldn't afford the singles. I now own a Jordan and when I saw that Topps decided to reuse the 1992-93 design on this year's Beam Team insert, I knew I had to get the Ohtani

Got this Eddie Matthews Patch card in today

I've become a huge fan of the Topps Allen & Ginter Stained Glass Mini cards from the past 5 or so years. I've been attempting to pick up as many Reds cards from these sets as I can, without breaking the bank. I've gotten several in recently.

And a couple other recent Reds pickups

2005 Absolute Memorabilia Tools of the Trade Swatch Single Jumbo Prime Black #TT36 Sean Casey /10 by SMosley21x, on Flickr

Sweet additions Chris. I didn't realize how much baseball you collected. You've got great taste.

Love that Absolute patch, vintagepacers! I feel like Panini really carried on the spirit of Absolute Memorabilia for a few years, but man they really bastardized it in the late 2010s. I was so engrossed in it back in 09-10. The stained glass sets are great and I like the year printed on the front more than I would think. Do you know what the tie is to Brooklyn?

From what I gather, in Topps' early days, they were based in Brooklyn, NY. So that influences their designs a bit. There's an online membership-only club called 582 Montgomery Club where you can get early access to Topps releases and even sets exclusive to that club. That, of course, is if you're willing to pay a $150 annual club fee.

I got a huge COMC shipment in yesterday and had a handful of Reds pickups. I've only taken pics of the 2 biggest ones so far.
