2nd Best Pickup EVER!

Well, I must admit, I am not that good at keeping my site updated lol. Unfortunately with the lock-down/quarantine in place, I now have no excuses to not update it.

Without further ado, here is the best pickup of the year:

2019 was an absolute whirlwind, in the best possible way. I was able to get some MONSTROUS cards. Here are my highlights from 2019:

As you can see, it was a pretty damn good year! The most difficult were definitely the Mathews and Heilmann. I didn’t expect to get them this soon because they are seldom seen, especially the Mathews. Speaker is right up there and who can go wrong with the stunning yellow background to go with the vintage fountain pen signature. Happy to have added Grover and check that one off of my list as well. Also, I was able to get a very tough 2009 Bowman Chrome Gold refractor autographed rookie card of Mike Trout, as well as some BGS Gem X-Fractors and base chrome autographs.

Yep…Just got my SECOND signed Cobb T206. But, it was short lived as Cobb was involved in a MASSIVE trade...But, before that, here is a fun picture of the brothers together:

Sadly, they didn’t get to be together for too long, as the Green Portrait ended up being traded for some Hall of Fame arms; signed T206’s of Walter Johnson and Cy Young! Enjoy:

While it certainly sucks that I don’t have the Green Portrait anymore, I am on Cloud 9 with these. My good friend, Paul, has had these in his collection forever and we were finally able to make out a deal; all in needed was to get the Cobb to trade. It was not a straight up trade and there were other pieces involved that we won’t be disclosing.
