This is my second weekly PC post on here. I posted a few cards a little over a week ago, including a PSA 1 Gretzky rookie and a Joe Carter autographed rookie card graded 10 by Beckett.

Here's what I've picked up over the past week or so.

It's kind of funny that President's Choice had to use a cut autograph for Allan Bester, but nevertheless here we are. Not a bad looking card and I like it when cut auto cards actually feature a picture of the player, rather than just a piece of cardboard with the autograph insert into it.

A couple of thick cards from this years Topps Series 1. Bautista just signed with Atlanta, so these should be the last handful of cards produced featuring him in a Jays jersey (at least during his active career, anyway).

Cool autograph of the even cooler Al Iafrate from Parkhurst Champions a few years ago. I was always a big Iafrate fan and it's too bad he played for Toronto during some of their worst years as a franchise. But he was always a thrill to watch at the Skill Competition when it came to hardest shot.

Last week I showed my recently acquired BG 10 Joe Carter rookie autograph. Now here is my PDS 10 Carter rookie. A great card of my favourite ball player and I'm happy to have added it to my collection.

A Donaldson jersey card from this season's Topps Tribute. Donaldson has been hurt off and on already for most of this season. We were playing alright without him at first, but now we clearly need him back in the lineup and at full health.

Another Donaldson from Topps Tribute, numbered to 99.

A Wendel Clark jersey card from Panini Dominion. This is a really nice looking card, I love the design and the classic Wendel photo. The full colour blue swatch looks great against the card's background, too.

A couple of UFC cards I pulled from a pack of 2017 Topps Knockout. Not really worth the cost of the pack, as Zingano is only a fringe contender at this point in her career and the Liddell card is really just a common jersey. I collect UFC cards, but I find it's difficult to get value out of box breaks.

And the big one for this week, a Gretzky hard signed autograph from 2000-01 Upper Deck Legends. This is the first Gretzky auto I've ever owned, and to have one that is hardsigned and features him with the Oilers is the best possible version. It's probably the best card in my collection now and something that's pretty cool to own.
 
It's really great to see the amount of baseball trickling into these posts lately. It's a terrific sport and Topps makes tremendous cards, hopefully that will translate WHEN they get back into hockey.

Nice pickups!:beer:

Thanks. I would love it if Topps got an NHL license again, they are doing a much better job than Upper Deck.

The reason that these cards were done like that is because it allowed us to include other Maple Leaf players who are deceased on the same style card.

We had cut signatures of these players on the same style paper and by having the additional players sign the same paper and inserting it into the cards, the designs were the same.

Makes for a larger set of PaperCuts for collectors to collect and allows us to use many of the historic Maple Leaf players in the Blue and White Centennial product.

Sounds reasonable, thanks. I just found it unusual to see a cut auto of a living player, particularly one who isn't overly famous. But I like the card, which is I bought it.

Some beauties. Got to love Joe Carter, “touch them all Joe” probably the greatest moment in Canada MBL history. I got to meet Iafrate last year, he certainly is the wild thing lol, great card. Some other great items but the Gretzky is my favorite. I just picked one up for the same reasons that you mentioned.
 
What was meeting Iafrate like?

He always came across to me like someone who would fit right in on the Chiefs in the Slapshot movie.
