First thanks to people you have checked in with me during the no eBay for 30 days. It means a lot I really haven’t missed eBay that much. Go to the mail box’s is not that much fun anymore but that’s about it.

Here is one of my favorite cards in the PC when these all came out I grab as many daul autos as possible. This one is my favorite though.

Super Mario rookie

Back in 2023, my crypto portfolio looked bleak so I started selling a bunch of the good cards I pulled as a kid to feel less guilty about my finances. Well it’s 2025 now and my portfolio is fine but I definitely regret selling this one. It isn’t easy to find, but they’re out there. But I want the one I sold. The exact card from my childhood. Eventually I’ll reach out and see how much that mistake is gonna cost me. Oooof.

It’s funny how my brain views autographs that come in a pack as part of the official set as being more authentic than my collection of in-person autos. Like the autographs I have from my childhood, where I met the player, handed him the Sharpie, watched him sign, and lived the experience feel somehow less authentic than when a player sits alone at a folding table signing thousands of stickers so Topps can slap them on cards 🤷🏻‍♂️
