January pickups

[jason.1969]

How well I remember going up to cops when I was a kid to ask for these very cards! Was happy to pick up a set (1981 LAPD Dodgers) in good shape at a good price. Steve Howe, Derrel Thomas, "Pete" Guerrero...what memories!

Such a cool looking set, great find.

Picked up my first 1/1. I live within walking distance of Nats Park, so much fun to watch Rendon play.



And a couple more Jeters:



I'm so tempted to crack and submit this to PSA for crossover. This is an old BGS label. It looks soooo much better than the three BGS 9s I've moved the past few months. All four corners are crisp and the edges show no wear. I love this card and will not move it.



And finally a Vlad SP Top Prospects autograph.

Great Rendon pickup. As a season ticket holder, it has been great to watch him come up and shine.

Normally don't follow the new cards closely. What is meant by 1/1?

It means only one copy of that card exists.

[jason.1969]

Wow! Are there other cards of him in the same set?

[WillBBC]

Here's the other Rendons I have from 2012 Bowman products. MLB has deemed his 2013 cards his rookie cards but I don't buy into that.

Base:


Purple:


Chrome:


Chrome Autograph:


Chrome Refractor Autograph /500:


Chrome Blue Refractor Autograph /150:


I'm not a Bowman expert but I know there's a Gold Refractor numbered to 50, a Red numbered to 5, a 'Superfractor' numbered to 1 (beautiful cards, really), and a handful of others I'm sure I'm missing. I stop at Blue though regardless of who I'm buying.

Know this like the back of my hand because my PC players 1st Bowman is in the 2012 product : ) .

Nice Chipper, Rob.

New focus on autographed baseball star player rookie cards?

[Jason Carota]

Picked this up for the Burks collection:

[7nohitter]

Carota,

Totally remember that poster...summer of '88....I kept all the clippings from those first 21 games after the ASG.

What's your most unique Burks item?

I am trying to collect HOF/Star Rookies and the same card autographed as a compliment. Hedging my bet that Chipper makes the HOF, trying to pick his cards up a reasonable prices now.

[bcbgcbrcb]

Good idea, Rob. Chipper is definitely a HOF'er in a few years.....
