I just learned of this today after work. My heart breaks for him right now.

Richard was a one-of-a-kind collector, and more importantly, a one-of-a-kind person. Some things we agreed upon (politics), others we didn’t (religion). Nonetheless we shared quite a few lengthy phone calls about both the hobby and the world in general.

Richard, you are deeply missed!

Nice hit, congrats!  It sounds like those are harder to spot, you would think they would make a 1/1 stick out from the other cards.

To be honest, if I hadn’t checked the odds I wouldn’t have known there was a glossy variant. It may have been trashed.

After work last night I bought two blasters of 2019 Ginter. At first glance the break itself was pretty lackluster. One box yielded a Chris Taylor jersey card. The other, not so much....the only notable highlight was a damaged black border mini in one pack. I decided to go through the rest in the morning looking for any short prints.

I went through the minis first this morning - nothing significant apart from a black border Hank Aaron and a base Griffey mini. Going through the base cards I noticed one seemed different....kinda glossy. I first looked at the odds on the blaster and noticed glossies were 1 in 9,000+ packs. Then I turn the card over and see the 1/1 stamp.

Last night I overlooked a Roger Maris base glossy 1/1!! For anyone interested it likely will be for trade. I’ll post a pic later today.

TCC member 5toosweet (Abel) has passed away after battling cancer.

I don’t know all the details, but just saw it on his Facebook page. I believe he had already beaten cancer once or twice before.

RIP Abel. sad.gif

ESo I recently found out that one of TCC’s very own members, dolphin_dreamer, has sketch cards in some of Topps’ new Star Wars products. After seeing her post on Facebook about some of her Artist Proofs, I had to inquire about a couple.

Today these two came in (pics attached, posting from my phone). She also included a personalized Yoda sketch.

They look absolutely amazing in person. aceecards, you should be a very proud dad!! Thank you Madison.

I remember 2017 Bowman Platinum being hard to find, so I didn’t hesitate to pick up a couple packs of 2018 last night. I was happy with the results!

Pack 2:

- Kacy Clemens green /99

Pack 1:

- Platinum Cuts Alex Verdugo autograph 17/25

Hello folks! As most of you know I’ve been a collector for a long time (25 years or so). However, I’ve never sent a card off for grading.

One of my prized baseball card possessions is my 2011 Topps Update #175 Mike Trout RC. As the card continues to rise in value I’ve made the decision to get it graded, especially since Topps is beginning to make “reprints” now. I want to go through PSA. For those with experience with the grading process, what’s the simplest (and safest) way to send it off?
