3,000 follower pile giveaway update. Itโs growing! And itโs probably not done yet! I will give all of these cards away to (non-bot, legit) followers once I hit 3k. One card per.
See anything you like? RT to get us to 3k! Thanks Hobby fam!
My Hank run draws to an end today. Heโs a crease free, rounded corner old timer that smells like my grandmaโs attic and I love it! I canโt believe I have a Hank RC!
Mays is next (and already in progress).
Welcome all new followers. If you like vintage and 80s baseball cards, youโre in the right place!
Weโre close to my 1500 follower giveaway, so itโs time to add another ๐ card for a total of 3. Three random USA followers will be given one card each once I get to 1,500!
This isnโt a post about why you should switch from modern to vintage. Itโs a post about my card collecting journey.
Iโve collected since I was 5. I turn 49 in a few weeksโฆ
The 50s motherlode I have been waiting for. No huge names but still super excited to dig through all of this! Partial sets of โ53-59 Topps plus complete sets of โ52-โ55 Red Man. ๐คค
This is my card account, and I try not to share personal stuff but I'm struggling today. It's been 1 year since I lost my dad to Lewy Body Dementia. He was only 74. It hurts. I won't be myself today. If you're struggling, now, or anytime, talk to someone. It's strong, not weak.๐
I donโt really deal in slabs. I leave that to the experts like
@jtteaxasaggie
So I decided Iโm adding this Hank slab to my 1500 followers giveaway. Are we close yet?
Today marks a milestone in my 1954 Topps build. Card number 250 - Ted Williams - arrived and was the last card I needed. Now just waiting on Ernie to return from
@sgcgrading
I have really come to love this set. More so than 56 and maybe even as much as 53!
Honestly, this is what itโs about to me. My boy and I were at a show, hitting up all the tables, chatting with the dealers and having a good time. We stop at a table of one familiar dealer thatโs an older gentleman. My son finds a Mantle in the bargain bin and itโs rough.
I love putting sets into binders because of the nostalgia it brings me from my childhood.
I found this nugget in my โ72 set build. Bindered sets really let you see and appreciate the cards. No matter what anyone says, thereโs no right or wrong way to collect.
We made it to 3,000 followers! Not gonna lie, that went faster than I expected.
Let me get organized a bit and get this giveaway going. Thanks to all that helped!
Already building that stack for 4,000 followersโฆ
Todayโs pickups. This Clemente is so nice Iโm afraid to touch it! I seriously think it might be an 8! ๐๐คทโโ๏ธ
Did you pick up anything today?
Itโs time to show my cards! Hereโs the current โpoolโ for my 3000 follower giveaway. Thanks to
@jtteaxasaggie
for a little help assembling!
Iโll prob add more. Iโm thinking a nice Willie Mays +? Multiple winners, each wins one item.
Now letโs get to 3k!
My boy is looking at it, reading the back, examining it for like 10 min. He puts it back in the box and the dealer pulls it back out and GIVES it to him. Itโs now my sonโs most prized possession and on display in the โshopโ. Collect what you like! Like what you collect!
When I get bored I rearrange my display shelves. I now have a Hank Aaron raw PC highlights shelf and a 56 Topps HoF shelf. All in one touches, of course.
Twitter hobby has given me a lot in the last 6 months.
In my version of โHow it started vs how itโs goingโ Left: PC shelf in March โ22. Video is from today.
This isnโt to brag, though. I thought having big $ cards I once drooled over would never happen.
Its happening.
Iโm excited to have made a deal for these Venezuelan Topps. My first VZ HoF and they all present really well for 1โs!
Have you heard of Venezuelan Topps cards before?
All of these are going up this evening starting at 6pm. Pre-sales available at full asking price. All sale posts will be OBO.
Some details:
The 53 Mays is low grade.
The 55 Sandy RC is very nice.
All of the Mantles are nice. None have wrinkles. The โ68 Mantle looks NM to me.

I was in that movie. They filmed it here at the Citrus Bowl in Orlando. There was a call for extras. We sat in the stands and moved around from section to section depending on the camera angle. Pretty cool experience!
Mail day! Still in progress but this is the first time someone has sent me cash with the cards. Iโm not sure why? Made me lol.
Anyone ever have this happen to them from a random eBay purchase?
@CardPurchaser
Iโm a post war guy but todayโs mail day is one of the most epic Iโve had to-date. Oldest card is 1887. Newest is 1999. Who do you see in todayโs mail day photo?
If you like Mays, Clemente and Aaron I think you may be interested in this weekโs sale. Donโt worry, something for everyone (Bench, Koufax, Banks, Spahn) too! Whoโs ready to buy?
Second time in the same week getting cash back from buying cards. This is WAY better than that silly gas app

Seriously tho, love honest / generous eBay sellers!
Added a 54 Bomwan HOF shelf. A few missing and a few can stand an upgrade but itโs a start! Also, shoutout to
@jtteaxasaggie
for my first non-auto slab 54B Mantle!
I hope you like vintage thatโs in really nice shape because I snagged a huge lot that was bound for grading. Iโll start posting this evening and tomorrow. Get that TAKE finger ready! Youโre not gonna believe some of these cards!
Update on the 56 set build with a new photo of my HoF shelf. Added a Jackie and Teddy thanks to
@JayHolanda
Got an upgraded Sandy in a trade. Iโm officially out of room on this shelf!
They donโt have to be perfect to be appreciated. Todayโs 50s mail day is the calm before the avalanche. I have over 2,000 1950s cards inbound! ๐
Itโs time to get back into the vintage sales saddle. Owen and I will be running a sale Monday evening. Weโve got some great stuff! Pre-sales welcome, just ask for a price (photos available tomorrow), otherwise we will see ya Monday!
Two EXMT+ vintage stars arrived like this last week. Not in top loaders but sandwiched between cardboard. ๐ฑ๐ฅบ
Luckily they were extracted unharmed. Iโm sorry you had to see this today.
My bride and I set sail aboard
