Evening all,

I had a surprise day off and was able to spend some time in the cards. I have been slowly plugging away on the 51-52 Parkhurst set. Despite most I actually prefer BVG slabs so its really slowed the process.

Anywho here is most of what I have picked up recently. A few might be older pick ups. I have another 4 or 5 coming in soon. My goal is to have a min grade of BVG 5.

Well when it rains it pours..

My last Labarera show and tell had a few major cards knocked off the want list. Some of them I had only seen 1 previous copy, or never even seen before.

A few months later I managed to pick up SEVERAL copies of some of the toughest cards.

First up..

I just pick up the 1st copy ever a few months ago. Shortly after I found 2 more.

Again 2 more rare Golds. Wish the Labarbera side was more interesting.

Annndd 2 more Golds. Seriously these have been some of the hardest cards for me to find. I figure its due to the difficulty in distinguishing regular silvers from the rare golds.

Now I am a bit peeved Labarbera is not in many sets anymore. I understand why, but still its a bit depressing. I guess it allows me to focus on his olders cards.

Minus plates Labarbera does not have many 1/1's. Many years ago I had bought his first AHL 1/1 tag and it got lost in the mail. The other AHL tag is owned by a collector in Germany. (and they will not part with it despite constant nagging..lol)

Weeeeeellll.. the 1st star for this post is pretty special to me. I didnt even know he was in the set. When I saw it for sale I jumped all over it. I probably paid more then it would have realized at auction. But was happy to cross it off my list.

Labarbera BTP Monogram 1/1. I wanna give a shout out to Dr. Price. Huge thanks for making this card and fitting the name nicely..lol :)
