Got some cool pickups I haven’t shown.

This one isn’t a new pickup but it has shot up crazy in value. SP easel variation. Last sold comp was 3.6K


Shreveport card show pickups. Was a great show for selling, not great for buying.




This is a random eBay one but I’ve been trying to add this Billy Mitchell to my PC to pair with the Weibe for probably 5 years. The two main guys in one of my favorite documentaries of all time, King of Kong.


Some Facebook pickups.






A few returns from a psa sub…

Bought this raw for $100 so was very happy with this grade.


PC, almost done with the Two Towers auto set.




Was disappointed with this one. This card was crisp, don’t know how it got an 8.

You and I have similar tastes. I do vintage SW, GoT, but now I focus on 86-87 Fleer basketball and pokemon masterballs

I had never heard of Tag but people are apparently digging the slabs and liking the AI grading

PSA returns. Really thought the Bidoof was a minimum 9, but oh well. Happy with that victory medal though. Would have been pissed had it come back anything other than a 10 (it was pretty damn flawless)

What was the turnaround on getting that back? I need to send off my 151 zard special illustrations since they are on the hype train

Sports is moving quick, TCG is slower

Yea the non sports stuff is really fun imo. Keeps from getting burned out on sports. I'm going to start selling most all of my modern and try and switch over to mostly vintage on sports outside of my few PC's. Vintage is just free money. You can sit on it and it's just guaranteed to go up in value, if you sit on your modern, odds are you are going to lose out unless it's a handful of players in each sport. Non sports stuff is much less volatile as well so that's nice. Deadpool, Emilia Clarke, and Darth Vader aren't having any career ending injures

Pokemon is great for this. Only hard fluctuations you'll see is a non-playable card become a heavy meta card, but even then, the price will only go from $1-10 to $50

The sub I just got back at the beginning of this month was sent off the 1st week in May. So 5 months for a economy sports sub. So annoying.

Ummmmm, that C3PO card.....JUst what is the "error". I see something that's odd but is probably a little unmentionable. Maybe it is just a result of the way the photo is taken. Maybe instead of "error" they should have marked it NSFW.

It's known as the "Golden Rod" error Somebody at Topps edited the photo to make him have a golden boner and Topps didn't catch it until some were already printed.

Yep. I submit with a buddy and the July sub came back at the same time as the April sub.

Billy Mitchell

I wonder if his value has gone up or down since he has been exposed as a fraud? On one hand, it should go down since he allegedly cheated. However, he has become more popular because of this exposure.

Pickups from the Nashville show this past weekend. Definitely the worst show for pickups and sales in a couple years.
