I typically don’t like booklets. But this is one of the coolest, most interesting booklets I’ve ever seen. I overpaid for it - but I don’t care. I would have paid more for this 1/1Satchel Paige signed cut auto with four pieces of chunky game-used patches. Such a legend.

I’ve always loved Upper Deck Exquisite - high end. Clean. Well-designed. He surely will be in the HOF in the next couple of years. This is a sweet nameplate patch autograph of Reggie Wayne from his Colts playing days with Peyton Manning.

As a doctor, I’ve always been interested in the history of medicine. In college, at Indiana University, I obtained a minor in the history and philosophy of science. One of the great artists and illustrators of the human body was the Italian artist Vesalius. His original book from 1543 was the first layer by layer drawings of the human body with strict attention to human anatomy. While traveling in Italy, I came across this German page from 1660. This version, not the original text from 1543, is still very, very old and was magnificent in person. One day, I hope to have one of the pages from the original 1543 printing.

Love Sweet Shots autos. Playing Days Jordan Autos are rare and this little subset had all the greats - Kobe, Jordan, Magic, Bird, Dr. J, and more. Only missed LeBron by one year. It’s like having a signed basketball in the size and portability of a card. Well executed this year with a large portion to capture a big signature.

Here’s another IP signing. Love the old Star Co cards. Only wish I had gone with a white of yellow paint pen on this one. The auto is too dark on the dark background!
