January New Pick-Up Thread
 

I'll start the year with this one.

i have always loved that sutter card. the blue is mesmerizing. same way i feel about some 60s cubs banks and brock cards with the blue and red

Working on an article on 1980's Hall of Fame rookie cards, and realized I didn't have this one:

This year I've already added 6 of these 7 2007 SPX to My Ripken collection.

PSA mis-labeled the bottom one, it's an A&G back

Forgot one...
 

Another early 1980's HOF rookie card I realized I didn't have:

Nice!

I always like the Topps A&G.

By far my favorite modern cards.

Always thought the Record Breaker subsets were kind of cool.

Haven’t had a Henderson RC in my collection for a few years but had the itch to add one again. Found this guy that I thought was really cool with a big chunky rough cut on top and some decently rough-cut sides.

A few more nice 1996 Topps Chrome Refractors:

Not the biggest fan of Bauer, but nonetheless he was on the list and crossed him off.

A nice 82 Topps Ripken Jr. rookie to add to the set.

Anyone know why the bottom seems to have fallen out from underneath this card? Is the Traded version of Ripken Jr. worth the price disparities between his true rookie card and a second addition of a card in the traded set? This logic fails me.

Butch

My best guess is that the regular Topps card was produced in much higher quantities than the traded. The PSA populations back this up, and I'd imagine the gap in raw population is even larger. Throw in the fact that collectors do like the "solo" cards better than the combo ones, and I think that's the answer.

It is a pretty significant gap, of course, as you pointed out!

Thanks, and that does make sense, but it boggles my mind.

Cheers,

Butch

Couldn't pass on this upgrade of the Rocket.

Whoa! Nice signed group.

A couple of HOF hurlers this week.

Added a really nice Gator to my collection.

New to me, 81' Granny Goose Rickey Henderson, very tough in any condition.

A nice finish to my January 2023 Washington Senators collections.
