April Pick-Ups

[jb217676]

Don't really buy many newer cards but I was surfing around on ebay last week when the auction for this card was winding down. Pretty sweet 2020 Bowman's Best Superfractor 1/1 of Ronald Acuna Jr!

Got this awesome wrong back error card in the mail today!

Picked up this raw Pujols which should grade a 10, as it's absolutely perfect. I'll report back in 11 months when it comes back as a PSA 6.

One of the best looking cards of "Donnie Baseball".

I’m a 95% vintage guy, but I like this player (and Heritage...) and couldn’t pass this up at the LCS yesterday:

My obsession with this issue continues.

I still have the complete set in my original binder with the 8 pocket pages. It was under the tree for me Christmas morning, 1988. I remember being super excited because this was billed as the modern set that was based on the '56 Topps design, which I was super into as a 12 year-old kid. My Dad I think even sought out a card shop himself to find the set. Good memories. I can still smell that Christmas morning on those pages when I open the binder.

Ben,

For Ben, the only thing better than a Topps wrong back error card with Wade Boggs on it is one with Wade Boggs on the front.

This guy was waiting in the mailbox for me about an hour ago. I’ve been wanting this card off and on for about two years now, and given this market - figured I had better not wait much longer to pick it up:

I'm mostly a vintage guy also, John, but I have always liked this card. Nice pickup.

Yes, that would be awesome to have both to make a pair.

Us hoarders are never happy with one super rare card. So I had to buy another while I had the opportunity. Used the old "I can use it for trade bait in the future" to justify buying a double of a card I just bought.

Then I get the second card in the mail and realize there is no way I could part with it. After all the blue section is purple on the new card because of less blue ink. Yes I seriously collect even the slightest of printing errors/variations on some cards.

If it helps, I have thousands of Boggs “wrong front AND back” cards I can trade.

Speaking of Boggs; another BIG!

Great card. I was working as a welder just out of school in a very little town when those came out. The small Mom and Pop grocery store only had the Topps big cards. I still have then someplace.

A pure FOMO buy.
