1922 Exhibits, Joe Wood ⭐ Smoky Joe
I bought this card raw in about 2020, sent to PSA in January '26 and just got it back a few days ago.
This is an amazing card and a very good grade on a very scarce card.
Smoky Joe Wood was one of baseball's greatest legends.
Joe Wood dominated the Deadball Era, winning an astounding 34 games for the Boston Red Sox in 1912 while leading the American League in wins, ERA, strikeouts, and winning percentage.
Many contemporaries believed he threw harder than Walter Johnson, including "The Big Train" himself when asked if he threw as hard as Smoky Joe Wood, he replied,
"Mister, there is no man who throws as hard as Smoky Joe Wood."
But devastating arm injuries abruptly ended his pitching prime. Rather than disappear, Wood reinvented himself as an outfielder, batting .305 over a 14-year major league career and helping the Red Sox capture four World Series championships (1912, 1915, 1916, and 1918). Few players in baseball history have excelled as both an elite pitcher and an everyday position player, making Smoky Joe Wood one of the most remarkable—and underrated—stars the game has ever produced.

2024 Leaf In The Game Used Sports, #LGL-3, Gold Legends ⭐ Carlton Fisk #15/45
This is a really great-looking and fun card to add to my collection.
I love Carlton Fisk.
This is a card that looks like it should be a high-end hit—but in reality it is very affordable and costs next to nothing.
Great for me!😂

Happy Saturday, Mantel!
A shiny bright card of a shiny bright Red Sox legend to start your day right.🌞
I'm not a Red Sox fan, per se, but Yaz is undeniable.⭐

1936 R311 National Chicle Leather ⭐ Jimmy Foxx
1939-46 Salutation Exhibits ⭐ Jimmy Foxx
Two of my favorite pre-War cards. I bought them both raw. Only sent one to be enshrined by PSA so far.
Nicknamed "The Beast" and "Double X", Foxx carved out a legendary profile with his monstrous swing, bulging arms, and devastating power. During his 20-year career, he hit a remarkable .325 lifetime average and drove in at least 100 runs in 13 consecutive seasons—an enduring Major League record. His crowning jewel came in 1933, when he secured the American League Triple Crown.
Elected to the Hall of Fame in 1951.

1954 Topps #1, Ted Williams ⭐️ Legendary Hall of Famer
Arguably the greatest hitter in MLB history.
This is Card #1, in the 1954 Topps set.
This is the first Topps card ever produced of Teddy Ballgame.
