Fanatics Live Credit From PSA

Post image 1

When I renewed my Collectors Club membership with PSA, they sent me a $60 credit with Fanatics Live, and 6 months of $20 Loupe credits (1 per month).

While I like breaks, I wanted this FL credit to count, so I bought in on an $80 baseball repack with 1of1 Cards on FL. So I kicked in an additional $27 i think, to go with the $60 credit, and I won this 2012 Bowman Bryce Harper RC PSA 10, which is now my best Harper rookie card.

Just thought I’d share this Fanatics Live credit strategy!

My Payne Stewart Auto From 1996

I got this while heading to the 10th tee to watch Tiger Woods tee off in 1996. Stewart was cool enough to stop and sign for me.

He won the 1999 US Open at Pinehurst, where the tour is once again, 25 years later.

Anyone else have his 1990 Pro Set card? Dude wore knickers in NFL colors all the time.

Just Added to PC! 1939 Play Ball Hank Greenberg

I’ve wanted a prewar card for a while now, but I wasnt sure what. Finally came across this 1939 Play Ball Hank Greenberg and I had to have it. I met his granddaughter, Melanie Greenberg, 15 years ago and went to a Mets fame at new Citi Field. Had an awesome time, great young woman, great park (better than the new Yankee Stadium). I met her through Nando, I believe. Anyway, sending this card to SGC, hoping the paper loss doesn’t drop it below a 1.

My guesses for the top-10 rookie cards in 2024 Topps Series 2
