Good pickups!

I like Optic because of the "Rated Rookie" logo. I always think of the Juan Gonzalez reverse negative from 1990 Donruss when I see that logo.

The optics rated rookies are just so clean

My stuff. Lots of 2005.

I have a love/hate relationship with unlicensed cards. This is probably my best Bijan card, which I got for peanuts in a lot on Facebook because it's not licensed.

Agreed. I tend to avoid unlicensed when I can.

Ebay but would love to know where others source from. Recently got into this hobby

The big show in Texas is the Dallas Card show. It can be overwhelming though. There is an improving Austin card show that I like going to now.

DCS is also very overpriced - you can see great stuff, but man, it’s expensive compared to other shows/online

I'll have to look into that one in Austin. Looks like the last one took place in June? Do they hold it multiple times per year?

I agree, but I have developed relationships with a few dealers that offer fair deals. If a dealer has no prices on his cards, is okay with a flipper covering the entire case with his cards, or doesn’t look up when I am looking at their cards then I move on.

They do. Each time there have been more dealers.

This is the correct way to approach a show. Whether it's a big or small show, there are too many dealers willing to negotiate a fair deal to try and haggle with people who seem inconvenienced by your presence.

That’s fair - vintage guys are the ones who I have built relationships with and will give you good deals. New age stuff is just so volatile, it’s hard to price correctly.

I stick to vintage as well.

I have a set of the Olympic weights from the football team in my home gym. The orange ones are from Mac Brown era. The chrome weights went into the weight room in Mac’s last year, and are still being used today.

Nice! Really nice set up for a home gym. 🤘

I appreciate Adonai Mitchell taking the time to make sure his shorthand autograph is legible.

It’s always nice when players understand the assignment when it comes to autographing memorabilia.

I asked Ja'Tavion Sanders about his "JS" autograph. He said that Topps and Panini made him sign so many cards and stickers that his hand started to cramp, so he just wrote his initials. He's got a few full-signature autos, but part of the problem is that Topps and Panini don't need autographs in every product. With that said, with the way box prices are, they've got to have the autographs for "hits." It's a double-edged sword, I hope Fanatics sorts out.
