I wasn’t really in the market for a Chase auto… But my kid loves the Bengals, and the orange paint pen on the rookie silver prism really jumped out. I like this more than the black or blue sharpie on most of his rookie cards and I think he’s going to have another big season with Joe Burrow under center.

When the finest broke into the scene in 1993 people went nuts. The refractor parallels were insane. I feel like the following year was of a bit of a down year and then in 1996 Finest blue the market wide open. Containing rookies of Iverson, Kobe, Ray Allen, Marcus Camby, Kerry Kittles, Antoine Walker and more… This is still a great set, although still quite overproduced. This is a nice copy of an Allen Iverson rookie with an aftermarket auto that has been graded by PSADNA.

I’ve always wanted to get a vintage in person Paige autograph. But they are pricey and getting more expensive. But these can still be had at a reasonable price. I had one made into a custom cut to satisfy my urge to have it in a regular card size. I love some of the stories and folklore surrounding Paige, Josh Gibson and other Negro League greats.

I love vintage in-person autographs. And the 1969 Topps set is one of my favorites. Love this one as part of my collection that has been authenticated by PSA DNA. I picked it up for a few hundred dollars before he passed away.

This is one of the more significant in person autographs that I have as part of my collection. It is a PSA DNA authenticated Wilt Chamberlain autograph on an Upper Deck his card celebrating his 100 point game. Wilt has a few pack-pulled certified autographs and almost none of his autographed cards are on cards that represent one of the most famous statistical games of all time. The dark autograph and the dark card does not make it as a visually appealing as I would like, but I’m still super stoked to have this one as part of my collection.
