I thought I would launch my account here, with an old fashioned mail-day post. My 25 year collection journey has evolved from collecting modern cards of active players, to focusing on modern cards of HOF to more recently heading down a vintage rabbit hole. Over the weekend I took delivery of my first card from 1957 Topps; an ungraded Harry Gallatin RC, that I was able to pair up with his 2007-08 Chronology Autograph (picked within the first 12 months of the sets release).

Discovering that back of the card was 'upside down' initially threw me; but some subsequent browsing of graded copies on COMC and eBay suggested that this is pretty common with this set and down to how the set was laid out for printing.

You never stop learning in this hobby!

Got three in yesterday… the plus version and warp Tek of this Kobe

And this atomic refractor that I actually had to buy twice unfortunately because usps decided it was delivered when reality proved otherwise… I also just bought the Shaq so the only card left for the set is Jordan… wish me luck!

Here is my addition to the thread.

2012-13 Flawless Gold patch /10 of Isaiah Thomas. You really can’t beat a jumbo game used nameplate patch paired up with that amazing gold holofoil. This card was lost in the mail for over 2 weeks. I’m so glad it finally arrived. There’s some damage to the foil around the patch window, but I won’t complain about it.

These 2012 flawless patches /10 are brilliant!
Need to get myself a Kemba one day

I have a few of the jumbos waiting for me at Card Hobby. This is the first one I've been able to get in had from the product. I don't really like the dual design. It's clunky and awkward.
