I fully expect there to be a downturn if baseball doesn't play this year but then I'll be buying if prices come back down to earth. Even though I don't want to sell any of it just psychological it's good to see. Also, nice to see some stuff I own being sold for way higher then I paid. I was a casual observer to a 8k deal and a 3k deal in my walking around. It was nice to see the hobby thriving and tons of money being thrown around. It's driving distance so I have to figure out how many days I can go. I have to figure out soon what my plans will be for the National this year. I'm not a big Chipper guy since he tormented the Phillies for years but I won't complain about an on-card Hall of Fame auto.Īll-in-all I spent slightly over budget but not too bad. The Chipper is my first auto of his as well.
I had traded off my only other Ripken auto back in June so I was looking for a replacement anyway and this fits the bill. Detailed information on the Thanatos font: license glyphs specimens for OS: Windows, Mac, Linux for programs: Microsoft Word, Photoshop, etc free. It wasn't cheap but I didn't do too badly. These last 2, I got sucked into a re-pack product that Steel City Collectibles does. In no particular order my big pickups from this wekeend: (have Brian Westbrook, Terrell Owens, Donovan McNabb, Jevon Kearse and Brian Dawkins already signed on it, all in person) I'm still waiting for Corey Simon to complete my Lithograph. Nice to have a recent hall of famer come to these shows. The big draw was Jim Thome was signing which was pretty cool. The high numbers and star cards aren't cheap. Back filling the early bowman team sets have been tough. I am now 2 cards away from completing that team set. I had no super real agenda just wanted something cool that fit into the collection.Ī couple cards that I didn't take a picture of were some 1951 Bowman Phillies. I only had one day so I skipped over looking at the most of the basketball and football because I know I wasn't purchasing any. It was pretty crowded, they expanded and added some more tables by shifting some things around. I was unable to go to the card show in September since I was out of town but I was able to attend the Philly Show on Saturday this past weekend. Partly because I've been busy with work and family and partly because I was unwilling to participate in the crazy prices. A couple cards that I didn't take a picture of were some 1951 Bowman Phillies. I haven't been super active buying or selling the last few months. It has been a minute since I have posted.
