Got my first Mattingly 1/1 =)
Not one to post a "show off" thread, but with this I had to. I know it may not be the best 1/1 ever, but it is my very first one of the focal point of my PC, Don Mattingly. I've been bidding on ebay for a while on a number of them and always seem to get sniped right at the end (or were too much out of my price range). With a little help from what turned out to be a somewhat LCS, I now at least have one. When my collection was featured in Beckett, I made it known that owning a 1/1 of Donnie Baseball was on my "bucket list". Call me greedy, but obviously now I want more. = P
While I'm at it, might as well share this as well. I completed a trade for this on here awhile back. It cost me a pretty penny (inc an Aaron Rodgers auto /5) but totally worth it to me, as it is my 2 favorite all-time Yankees autos on the same card.
Thanks for looking,
drop me a line if you pull any Mattingly's, as I am always looking for those I don't have.

awesome cards dude, btw I wouldnt consider it "showing off" when someone posts pics of cards. Because if people didnt do it alot of us would never get to see these awesome cards up close. we all get excited when we pull/purchase/trade cool cards, and who better to share them with then us!!
a big shout out to jbel4331 for the AWESOME '75 cards!!

Well said for sure. I didn't mean it negatively. I enjoy seeing all the awesome stuff everyone acquires. I meant it more in terms of the stuff I acquire doesn't seem impressive enough to warrant a post. In this case, I was super excited and my first thought was to share with the Beckett community. =) thanks man.
