Latest Pickups

These are the 5 Johnson cards in the set. I’m guessing they consider these the side pose and the front pose, kinda like the T218 cards. I purchased these years ago when they first came out. I have a couple of scans where Gary sold a graded pair of the Johnson red types a few months ago for 85 a piece. The onyx Johnson was a bit pricey back when I purchased it from EBay. From my records I purchased it back in 2011.

I grew up a couple of hours outside of Cincinnati and was a big fan of “The Hawk”. He was the coolest, in my opinion. He was always looked at like the villain, but he was always willing to talk to fans. After he retired for many years I would see him at Reds fest in Cincinnati every November. He and his wife would always have a table set up next to one of the old Reds greats. I definitely miss those days.

Picked it up a few months ago, but just got it back from being graded.

Not sure I would call this a true 'card', but it's a cool item of an underrated great.

Those UD lenticulars are amazing cards, just light years ahead of the 1960s-1970s 3-D cards. I picked up a Chavez back when they were released and the depth and quality of the illusion is incredible. I literally had to touch the surface to show my eye that it did not have real depth.

That's definately a card!

Pulled out of a box this morning, so a nice box in my eye. Didn't get the relic card it guarantees alongside 1 auto, but got a 2nd auto instead. Sadly, the second one is a redemption for Dave Kingman that expired in 2016. The other box I opened had a Bouton auto and Gene Tierney relic, plus a image variant of Jerry West, which I think were pretty tough. Shame Golden Age died after 3 years, I think it was Panini's best issue.

Sometimes I think I might be wiser to open everything upon receipt instead of keeping a stash of boxes in my closet to open when the mood strikes.
