Post your recent football mailday pickups here!



I'll start with my favorite recent pickups. None are really valuable, but each is a cool piece of Football card history.


1995 Topps had box sets celebrating the Jaguars and Panthers Inaugural year with a Gold Foil Stamp. Each team's box set was limited to 4000 sets.
Here's the Barry Sanders I picked up:




Also I collect Pro Set errors and corrections, which is odd, but fun. I picked up the 3rd and final version of a 1990 Andre Rison card I needed to have all 3 slabbed.

2010 Topps Chrome Refractors are some of the best looking and shiniest IMO.
Picked up this low grade Brees on the cheap:


Also upgraded a PSA 8 Derrick Thomas RC from an 8 to a 9.
The 8 is now in my forsale/trade box.

Recent mail day was loaded with Topps PSA Graded HoFers <3

Reprints or not idgaf, I love the Sayers 1968 reprint and the Horning 1957 reprint.

Another cool pickup from a local card show. If he stays healthy he has a chance at a HoF spot.

Hopefully we can get some more Football people here on the forum as time goes on.

Here's some more recent pickups from me.

Classic Ottis Anderson RC


Pair of HoFers in Topps Chrome base. I have the Aikman refractor graded and the Davis refractor raw already so this adds in nice.


I've got two Printing Plates of this card already and a few graded. Added a Green refractor to the collection


Only active WR who I think is guaranteed a HoF spot (should be 1st ballot too) in a 1000 Yard Club form which I love 1986-2015

Kind of a slow mail week but got some cool graded HoF junkwax.

Went to a card show yesterday and got a few $10 slab pickups.

Wilson is guaranteed HoF even if he had a bad year last year. Mills purchase is buying potential/speculation for now. At $10 I can't lose much on that risk.

Few recent pickups, as usual Topps/ToppsChrome.

DHop RC in 1969 Design (Love classic designs with new players)


Julio 2nd Year Xfractor (This makes like my 24th different PSA Graded Topps Chrome Julio Jones card from 2011 rookie year to last year Topps in 2015)


HoF 2010 Rickey Jackson (who has liked and shared to story multiple IG posts I've done of his cards)

Good stuff man! Yeah I see a lot of good deals on all the modern stuff that was graded during the boom. Mostly people just trying to unload I’d imagine but I’ll take it!

I’ve been buying graded cards of my basketball PC guys, Gary Harris, Danilo Gallinari. Can’t beat grabbing nice slabbed stuff for $10 or $15.

Got this one in this week, a rare need for the Ken Anderson PC.

Hell of a quad patch! I said it in the basketball mailday thread already but UD did jerseys right and I miss them.

Now that I know you collect Ken Anderson I'll keep an eye out on stuff. I've seen some oddballs and rare numbered stuff pop up sometimes. Ken should be a HoFer IMO.

Picked this up. Love that they gave Hamlin a rookie card this year. Color match over everything for me.

New Nuk added to the collection recently.

DHop is on my tier 2 of the football PC.

Jordy Nelson > DHop / AJ Green / Keenan Allen > Rodgers / other Packers.

For that second tier I’m focusing on rookies and gold Prizms and refractors.

All of those dudes are great players to collect and I've got quite a few of them.

Typically I don't post cards before I've shown them on my Mail Time videos on my YT channel, but thought this deserves a post.

Just a few DHops I've picked up besides the one above.

2014 Chrome Minis


2014 Chrome regular

Nice Printing Plates! I snag them for Jordy when I have a chance.

Some great recent pickups for the collection.

Bunch of recent HoFer Darrelle Revis


Brandin Cooks rookie printing plate


HoFer RC


and a classic 69 of a HoFer

Pickups from this last Saturday's card show.

HoFer from the 2nd year of Topps Pro football


And a few youngins in my Chrome replacement (Optic)

Some cool football card art I picked up.

Artist: Gypsy Oak

1965 Topps tallboy Namath RC remake


Bo knows. Looking like that 1989 Score subset.

Recent pickups from the 2 card shows I went to on Saturday

Barry Sanders 89 rookie weiner style


Elway PSA 8 is a replacement for my BGS 8 which now goes in my sale/trade box


Tannehill Xfractor RC means I have a decent start on a completely unplanned graded rainbow since now I have 5 different variations of the card in PSA form.
base in PSA 9, refractor in PSA 9, black refractor PSA 8, orange refractor PSA 9, and now an xfractor PSA 9


Generous gift from local (and THB member) @GabeyCardStacks that will go in my unopened pack collection:

Got this in today

Beautiful card!
Donruss/Leaf before Panini took over was a whole different beast and should be treasured.
