Atlanta Braves PC

[dirtyon85]

I'm a Braves fan. I'm an Atlanta sports fan really (throw UGA in there while we're at it). As a 90s kid with TBS playing in the background is where I think a lot of Braves fans my age started. I remember watching Greg Maddux and trying to predict his next pitch calling out and smiling when I got it right. I named my son Maddox. Chipper was the new kid that turned out to be a HOF that never left the city and spoiled an entire region of the US. I have the ticket to the first game ever played in Turner Field (exhibition game vs. Yankees). Here's my card story. What's your Atlanta Braves card story?

I'll start with this one:



2021 Topps Stadium Club Chrome #392 Deion Sanders Red Refractor 5/5

My favorite card in my collection tied with a Maddux Gold Refractor from the same set right now. Stadium Club, my favorite set, and such a unique picture of Prime Time that I don't think is on any other card out there. Definitely my most rare card at /5. The PSA 10 on eBay is asking almost $1300! I found this raw version on eBay and had to reach out to the seller. It was a great exchange. At first, I didn't want to do the deal, but for a few days I thought about this card all day long, which made me go with my gut and pay up. I'm so glad I did especially with the 2021 SCCs having a full color refractor in the card. Can't wait to see what other Braves cards will be shared. I've got a lot more coming myself!

Hellyeah my story with the Braves is the same as yours. Grew up watching TBS and Chipper was my fave player. I don't watch much baseball anymore, and only a small bit of my collection is baseball nowadays, but I still have a few great nostalgic cards (junkwax to the max nothing valuable).

Always cool to see someone passionate about the hobby.

Here's a few of my fave Braves cards:

Huge Braves collector here as well (with a similar TBS origination story). Happy to be here on the boards! I could spam this thread with hundreds of Braves cards, but I’ll just start with my favorite…

There’s just something about those Heritage chrome refractors:
