What more can you say about this car? It’s a Tom Brady. In his patriot uniform. Autographed and on stunning card stock. Graded BGS 9.5. Yes, it’s from a lower end brand and it’s a sticker auto, but it still glows in this case. I love this card… I had to sacrifice it with a boatload of other cards to move up to a large patch on cart autograph of Brady.

How do you turn a great looking junk wax era card into a great collectible? A nice in-person autograph will do the trick! Back in the early 90s, when I was a teenager, I used to send cards through the mail to spring training. While it was often not successful, I did have some great success stories, including this fantastic “Donnie Baseball” card from 1991. I think he should be in the Hall of Fame…do you?

Yeah, still junk wax era. But I loved the traded sets, the extended sets, the Donruss “The Rookies” sets and Topps Tiffany sets. Clearly this is an old SGC 98 = SGC 10 slab. But it’s an inexpensive card of a generational hitter. Frank Thomas doesn’t get the hobby love that he deserves!

These little lenticular cards pre-dated Sportflics which came later around 1985-1986 but featured similar “3-D” technology. They were ahead of their time - and came out of Kellogg’s cereal boxes - back when boxes of cereal had prizes for kids! Hard, but not impossible, to gem given the fact that we’re rolling around in cereal!

One of Banksy’s most famous prints, fondly known as LIITA, these signed versions skyrocket to $400,000 or so during the pandemic era. Much more reasonable now in the $100.000 range (but still super expensive). This is actually a good buy, to be fair to get a signed iconic image from one of the best and most prolific artists or our time.
