We bought a house 3 days before Christmas and moved 3 days after New Years. To get back on here!

I’m not into grading (I can count on two hands the number of cards I sent for out for grading), but after snagging this Rookie Card of The Kid, I almost felt I had to.

Sent out today to SGC using their 2-3 day turnaround time service. Truly interested to see what happens. It’s one of the nicer raw examples this Mets fan has ever seen…

Opened a very nice box of 1984 O-Pee-Chee wax that had excellent provenance.

Pulled a BEAUTIFUL Strawberry Rookie Card and a lot of nice, well centered Hall of Famers.

No Mattingly, Henderson or Gwynn but lots of doubles on Schmidt, Ripken, Seaver, etc…

Such a fun experience!

Bought this sealed Hobby Jumbo Box of 2008 Topps Series 2- hunting for Johan Santana Card 661…

And I struck out…

Someday…

One of my favorite PC Cards- arguably the greatest homegrown position player in New York Mets history- The Captain David Wright.

Arguably his best Rookie Card- the lowest numbered parallel (Black) of his Flagship Topps Rookie.

If it wasn’t for the spinal stenosis, he’d have been Cooperstown bound.

LGM

Good-Bye Brandon Nimmo. Thought you would be a Met for life. Today’s trade to the Rangers is shocking and the return is underwhelming.

Here is my favorite Brandon Nimmo Rookie Card from my PC.
