IMG_5797.thumb.jpeg.ccbf04ed0d047409659152b96f253a63.jpegthe white last name is rare and was an error on Topps part. It makes it a lot more valuable. But I added the yellow last name to it last week.

What was the turnaround on PSA? I have a few that I've thought about sending off.

I sent some through a local card store and got them back in less than 40 days but they up charged me something crazy.  I sent some on my own on May 12th and the app says it will be August before I get them back.  I hope that’s wrong.  
 

Will keep you posted.

Wal-Mart is selling jumbo packs of 2023 Topps for $5.  Series 1 packs have 36 cards with at least 4-5 special cards as inserts.  Series 2 packs have 40 cards also with 4-5 inserts.  Too soon to know if any of the young players are going to be studs but I've pulled a fair amount of the top players (Shohei, Judge, Soto, Vlad Guerrero, etc.)

Not a terrible way to waste some money.

I know i know people hate the Astros, but I just did a player break and had Altuve and ended up with a 1/1 button card and /27 patch card.

The triple auto card came out too but it had to go to random and Tucker person ended up winning it.

where did you grow up? just curious because i’ve never met anyone raised in texas who actually loves hockey.

edit: should say loves hockey enough to make hockey memorabilia a centerpiece of a collection.

Michigan but I collect memorabilia too. Lots of baseball stuff and Michigan helmets. I only collect the greatsIMG_7453.thumb.jpeg.a890ada8e7e43edb8e63bbeb47ec56c2.jpeg

I was a weird kid growing up. I loved card collecting but instead of looking for the ones that might be valuable or whatever in the future, I started collecting the players that I liked. So yeah, I've got some Manute Bol rookies, tons of Deion Sanders, Jerry Rice rookie, Emmitt Smith rookie, some Bo Jackson, and Ken Griffey Jr. Nothing that'll amaze anyone, but to me, they are gold. I remember trading a Clyde Drexler card (some regular ol 1991-92) for a Manute Bol card and remember my friend thinking I was nuts. hahahaha. I don't think I have anything older than 1986 or so. That is about when I got into collecting.

My favorite card: Bo Jackson 87 Classic

My most valuable (I think): Jerry Rice Topps rookie

Card that I thought would be worth a lot more: Emmitt Smith 1990 Action Packed

Card that I have had the longest: Deion Sanders 1989 Pro Set card

Weirdest player I started collecting for no reason: Kevin Maas. I have no idea why but I have a few of his. I was a Don Mattingly fan and thought he was "next". hahaha.

I have a ton of cards from the 60’s and 70’s including Mantles, Aarons, Gibsons, Mays, etc and football cards including Staubach, Bradshaw, Namath etc. I have no idea what they’re worth( most are in very good condition) but I was told to have them graded at $50 per and there's no way I’m going to pay that. I’ll just give them to my daughter and she can make a decision.

If you really have tons of cards from early 60's to early 70's you've got some money(and they are in VG condition as you say).

find the HOFer Rookie cards first. if you have 71 Bradshaw and 72 Staubach those are nice, a Namath rookie is big but that is early 60's. for baseball 68 Ryan, 63 Rose, 68 Bench, 69 Jackson, 67 Seaver, 73 schmidt

also any "high number series" HOFers(schmidt 73 is a great example, rookie card with high number), don't have to be rookie.  The last series in each set through 1973 are always in shortage in baseball cards because the 5 and dimes stopped ordering them as season ended.

If you have 1972 football cards that are over #263 that is the 3rd set and they are worth good money, even the common players.

Thanks for the info. I'll check.
