    2022 Topps Allen and Ginter X - 2 Box Break

    Fun break for $70 each. I think we did ok. Votto /25, Dawson /50, Bieber /25, Jeremiah Paprocki 1/5. Also pulled a Pujols regular and Pujols mini so that always works!

    One of my favorite cards with IP auto!

    Awesome! I bet it looks nice on A & G! That's a keeper! There was an autograph hound with 9 topps now cards for her to sign, and she said she'd only sign 2. Lame for him trying to get 9, obviously reselling, so cool on her to catch that. Every single IP auto I've gotten at a game is mine. I...

    One of my favorite cards with IP auto!

    2022 Topps now released an Alyssa Nakken card after she subbed for 3rd base coach making her the 1st female on-field coach in MLB history. I think it's great that she was able to do that and it is a historical achievement for her and MLB that will always be noted as that. I bought 2 of her...

    Hi I am Jesse and I'm returning to the site after a multiple year hiatus...

    Thanks! Another familiar name and I'm pretty sure we traded back in the day. I was around 22 when I joined, now 42. Been working at Intel since Feb 2001, so I've been at Intel and a member of the Bench for half my life or more, lol. I too am pretty busy in my personal life, so I can relate, lol

    Hi I am Jesse and I'm returning to the site after a multiple year hiatus...

    Totally agree! I loved the 2002 UD authentics set when it came out, and pulled redemptions for a Ken Griffey Jr Auto'd Jersey, Griffey signed ball and Arod signed ball. Still have them! I also liked the UD vintage and world series heroes. Imagine if they did baseball like they are doing...

    Donruss made some awesome cards in the mid 2000's. Honestly, I think that was one of the best eras of baseball cards.

    I had that one! I ended up trading it in a card shop and don't even remember what it was. I regret trading it. I remember getting it as a kid, my mom helped me get that and at least 1 other, maybe Phil Niekro and Brooks Robinson.

    There are some really nice cards in this thread! I almost crapped my pants when I pulled this one. 2019 Topps x Francisco Lindor On Demand online exclusive. Confirmed in person by Topps executives that less than 5 made. It is not numbered.

    2021 Topps Chrome Sapphire Fernando Tatis Padparadscha 1/1

    Pulled this in 2021. Beautiful card and look at that numbering and the alignment of it! Never mind the one touch scratches, it was a panic situation, lol I also got to meet him in 2019. Too bad he messed up his career.

    Hi I am Jesse and I'm returning to the site after a multiple year hiatus...

    It was a redemption in 2002 fleer platinum, only 73 inserted, high print run, then fleer went out of business a couple years later. Who knows how many were actually redeemed. It is incredibly rare. It is a buyback auto, so can't help condition, but mine is in same condition as when I got it...

    Hi I am Jesse and I'm returning to the site after a multiple year hiatus...

    Thanks! Man, that 2008 ud masterpieces set looks great. I have a bunch, no red borders, but I should probably finish that set because it looks so nice. I am a sucker for the painted, canvas cards, old diamond kings, old topps gallery, playoff portraits, masterpieces, etc...

    Thanks, appreciated! I think we have made trades many years ago, looking forward to doing that again. Another familiar name.

    Hi I am Jesse and I'm returning to the site after a multiple year hiatus...

    hey! I really like seeing all of these familiar names. I have dbacks season tickets so I have some fun baseball stories from over the years. I also have some (what I think) interesting tid-bits from some different industry conferences and such. And non-sports related things. My wife and I...

    Thanks! yet another familiar name and someone I've traded with in the past. Nice seeing a lot of familiar people still around. What are you doing with cards these days?

    Hi I am Jesse and I'm returning to the site after a multiple year hiatus...

    lol! no competition here. I remember that your Pujols collection was way beyond mine with some really awesome cards. However, I DO have 2 Pujols cards that my wife helped me get that are priceless to me (comes with a story), and some fun Pujols pictures and videos that you may like. Feel...

    Hi I am Jesse and I'm returning to the site after a multiple year hiatus...

    Thank you! I have a ton of Giants stuff, so I can start separating when I go through cards and find some better ones. I attached a file, have you ever seen one of these? Pulled from 2002 Fleer platinum back in the day, maybe some on this site remember it. I can't remember if I ever posted it...

    Hi I am Jesse and I'm returning to the site after a multiple year hiatus...

    Thanks! I'll be on the lookout for some Jim Thome stuff. I don't collect a lot of different players or sets (at the moment), just Pujols and Maris when I can. I probably should finish off a bunch of near complete sets that I have though, lol

    Hi I am Jesse and I'm returning to the site after a multiple year hiatus...

    Thanks! I agree! Lots of great folks on this site. Once I start poking around and looking at people's wants/haves I will be on the lookout when I am going through cards. I am sporadic when going through and sorting cards, but I have a lot. I enjoy opening stuff with my wife, putting it in...

    Hi I am Jesse and I'm returning to the site after a multiple year hiatus...

    Thanks David! Ohhhhh, I definitely know how much the hobby has changed and the whole Fanatics takeover and licensing and stuff. I didn't leave the hobby, I just left some websites for a long time, lol. Topps/Fanatics will also be getting WWE, NFL and NBA after current licensing ends. I...
