    This is a Wild patch!

    I haven't done a personal Show & Tell for any card pickups in a while, so thought I'd share this card with a special patch. It will be a long read, but very well worth it. A lot of you know that I like Jumbo patch cards, and this one is "Wild" in more ways than one. First of all, it is a piece...

    Looking to BUY: Leaf Lumber Prime #/5 Bat cards and other outer edge bat cards from Leaf Lumber

    Looking to BUY: Leaf Lumber Prime #/5 Bat cards from 2024 & 2025, or any outside edge of the bat cards from earlier Leaf Lumber products (2020, 2021, 2022). There was no 2023 version. I collect the Leaf Lumber bat cards that have the outside edge of the bat, and not the sawed off inside...

    Memorabilia Cards with photo matches on the card...a thing of the past? But......

    Interesting subject I'd like to bring up. Remember back in the older days of memorabilia cards...like older Leaf/Donruss baseball and football cards...when they would actually show you a photo on the back of the actual jersey that the swatch from the front was taken from? I always thought that...

    My Top Pickups of 2025...it's been a good year!

    As we near the end of 2025, I will reflect back on a great year for card pickups. In no particular order, I present what I consider my top cards. First, a few nice Vezina cards that found their way into my collection: Then...I have always had massive love for this subset, so I had to...

    Rare Rookie stick cards of my old buddy!

    These deserve a Show and Tell... Even though I do not really collect Marian Gaborik anymore, I still have a strong connection after 18 years of hardcore Gabby collecting. :love: I really like President's Choice cards because I know Dr. Price's stuff is authentic and some of the best quality...

    The 1 of 1 Mascot Patch from hell........but I finally got it!!!

    I picked up this card in an almost 4-month roundabout way. It wasn't pretty. :mad: I first saw this card pop up on eBay in May (Seller was COMC, so they were selling a card for a collector who had a card there with them). Because I am a Wild fan and have met the guy who played their mascot...

    Finished a President's Choice Gordie Howe set! Yes!!!

    Back in 2020, Dr. Price put out a three-card set of Gordie Howe autographed President's Choice AutoMem Journey cards. There was a card with his Detroit Red Wings jersey, one with his Houston Aeros jersey, and one with his New England Whalers jersey. There were 9 sets made, and the cards were...

    An even dozen..."Thrash" me for having OCD!

    I do not post Show & Tells too much anymore. But I'm retired and bored, so here we go! Back in 2020, I got hooked on the Leaf Superlative Trouvaille inserts. Large, beautiful patches which are right up my alley. The 2020 versions featured two players. In the 2021 product, they did one player...

    Good laugh: "eBay 1/1s" using the player's jersey numbers from the card's serial number

    Here's a good laugh...at least for me. I've seen cards posted on eBay stating they are 1/1s because the serial number forms the player's jersey number. The jersey number has to be 2 digits, and it can only happen if the player's number is less than or equal to the first number. Example...

    How GRANDEUR! Going from super excited to super disappointed in seconds!!!

    When getting super excited...goes to super disappointment. I buy a lot of unopened boxes of Upper Deck Grandeur. You get a 1oz silver coin per box, or a super rare, very limited 1/4oz gold coin. After years of opening boxes, I finally hit a Gold coin. Yay! 😄 (y) But it is a redemption card...

    Best card transaction of 2024 thread!!! Join in!

    On this, the last day of 2024, I thought I would do one last post here for the year. I have acquired sooooooooooooooo many nice cards in 2024 and could never realistically do a post trying to decide on just a "Top 10 cards of 2024". So, I have decided instead to do a "Best card transaction of...
