Who remembers these from 1993? felt like a celebrity at an awards show opening these, first tear off the outer cello, then lift the gold flap and then the inner cello pack. So much fun. A trip back down nostalgia lane.

I strive to be a good steward of the hobby, all day when I got home yesterday a voice told me to go back and make it better/right. This morning I went back and cleaned the headstone as best I could, I think I'm going to be the "custodian" of this as I don't believe anyone else is
The 1/1 Superfractor Wander Bowman's Best has been pulled locally here in New York. Customer of Parlor City Sports Cards in Binghamton,NY got it and reportedly will be sending it to
@PSAcard
for grading.
What an absolute great weekend that culminated with my Grail card. I'm over the moon excstatic. It almost doesn't feel real but it is. Unboxing video tomorrow.

Sorry folks been an absolutely rough day here, we lost our girl Mocha after 13.5 years, our hearts are hurting bad right now. Going to grieve with the family & be back online in a couple days. If you are so inclined keep us in your thoughts right now.
Life is a tricky deal sometimes, not 25 minutes after booking my Chicago trip I received a phone call from Brooklyn. My brother Steve is gone at 51. Going to be a rough day. Hug somebody today & tell them you love them.
Thank you doesn't seem enough, received the poster & beautiful card from Upper Deck today, this company day in & day out goes above & beyond with their tremendous compassion & caring. It will be framed & hang proudly in "Mocha's Corner" THANK YOU UPPER DECK.

Fun day. My Dad came over for dinner, & we made a stand up graded card showcase that holds 48 slabs while only taking up a 30 inch row of table space. Just have to put the plexiglass on the front. Like Cerrano said in Major League "I do it myself"
#thehobby
Absolutely floored right now, tears of sadness & joy. Wow, a grown man should not cry this much. Why is Upper Deck the best, because they care about you & it's not for "show", it's real. They care. Good lord. Let me go share this news with my family. Waterworks continued. TY UD
When we heard our friend John from
@Sportscardnati1
had lost his good friend Mocha, we wanted to do something special for him. Gone, but now, never forgotten. We are creating a blow-up version of this card for you to always remember your furry friend!

HOBBY COMMUNITY, WE NEED YOU!
Tucker Sparks & his younger brother Jackson were marching with their LL BB team in the Waukesha XMas Parade when they were struck by the truck, young Jackson was killed & Tucker suffered a skull fracture but got out of ICU & survived. (Con't)
If you don't stand for something, you stand for nothing. I'm appealing to
@Whatnot
to remove this break outfit from your platform after their recent actions.
You've worked hard(I'm assuming) to build your brand and platform.
Do the right thing for the hobby
I drove 14 miles from home this morning to pay my respects to one of the OG's of the hobby. Mr.Jefferson Burdick, it's hard to see due to the moss but his epitaph reads "One of the greatest card collectors of all-time". Thank you Mr.Burdick for your contributions!

Happy to say I signed an "offer letter of employment" this morning, pending background check/drug screen, I'll be back in the workforce soon.

In 1984, 12 year old me, chased this card incessantly, after 30+ years of selling plenty of them, this one stays again with me as a reminder of that boy whose passion for the hobby burns hot 36 years after the fact!!

Two goombas from Brooklyn. National Week made!!! Growing up in Brooklyn, Chris Mullin was MY GUY and basketball idol. Last night I got to meet him and we spoke about what street in Canarsie we both lived on. It was surreal. Wow. No I didn't cry lol.
If MLB is moving the All-Star game, they should play it on the "Field of Dreams" field in Dyersville,Iowa.
Honestly how cool would that be!!!!!!

I ordered 30 Luis Robert Topps "Game Within the Game" cards & received them 10 days ago.
Today I got 30 more, Thought I got a duplicate order, but they actually re-did them with the "RC" logo that was missing on the 1st run so we now have variations in this set & I have 60 Luis!
He was slated to break the color barrier but when Branch Rickey asked him what he'd do if another player spit on him, he said "I kill him", ending that possibility.

When it comes to some of the higher dollar sales, I've used these for double digit years now. Hologragram tamper proof seals, too many switcharoos out there, funny I usually get a message "where can I get those?" from the buyers.

Why I don't get into the card "investment" debate. It's simple, there is none, I can't get in something that doesn't exist. ANY entity that brings 7 figure sales for one card is an investment entity, you may not like that,it's not arguing over bigfoot's existence. This is real.
So I'm driving out of the post office, see a women in her late 80's, early 90's laying on the ground. Stop the car, she missed a step, fell, checked her for injuries, said she was ok, needed help back to her car, she lived 5 blocks away, followed her home at her request.
