This years rookie class (at least rookie cards) were plentiful - chock full of HOFers like Dennis Rodman, Scottie Pippen, Reggie Miller and John Stockton (I never understood why Stockton never had a 86-87 or 87-88 Fleer card?!). A great set, condition sensitive and centering was tough on these - as you can see in this poorly centered copy. But the autograph in on-card in in-person and still shows very well. Happy to have it in my collection. He was kinda of a punk, but he brought the entertainment factor to the game for sure!

classic rookie card with a clean auto. I bought this one graded as-is. I think if I submitted it for dual grade it is an easy 7/10 with an outside chance at a 8/10. What do YOU think it would get?

Back in the day, I was at the national. Maybe 2006-2007? I wanted a LeBron auto. I should have bought a rookie autograph but his 2nd year autographs were so much more affordable. I can’t remember what I paid for this, I think around $150. It’s a nice on-card clean auto and I really liked the Upper Deck Black and Black Diamond cards. It’s on a foil-like stock and the autograph is crisp and clear, albeit on a dark background. I sent this in for dual grading as the card looks like a 9-10 and was hoping for a dual 10/10 but they only graded the auto. Oh well, it’s a PC Card, so not complaining.

So. Not a huge McMahon fan. Also, he’s clearly known for his time as the QB for the Bears. But…I saw this, and it wasn’t expensive, and my name is Paul. So how could I not get it?!

One of the best, and most popular, NFL coaches of all time. Tom Landry played in the NFL and latercoached the Cowboys. He was a legend, and it turned out also a fashion icon. I miss the generation of coaches where they dressed up, wore suits, and he was known for his distinctive fedora. Being a Cowboys fan in the 70s and 80s, this is a super cool card to have as part of my collection. Just further proof that cards don’t need to be super expensive to be cool.
