Hangin with the hoi-paloi now I see DrM....great stuff. Mantles are awesome...but where is the '52? Thanks for sharing. Whats wrong with the Goldy surface to only get a 7? Cool card with the check signature...........

Thanks Joe! Yeah, the '52 Mantle will be ordered right after I get my Reward deposited into my account by some Nigerian Dude who needed my help getting his Millions liberated from his country.

I have no idea why the Goldschmidt card's surface was downgraded so much ... It looks darned good in person ... But whatever, it's a 1/1 so I don't really care that much. It's the very best condition that card can be found in.

Another good mail day ... My Favorite Marlins

Yelich/Stanton Supreme dual auto /25

And One more goal achieved ... My first Bryce Harper auto / patch (just barely a patch, but a patch just the same )

Bryce Harper Finest Auto/patch /25

That's a pretty nice Harper, Doc! Congrats!

That's a pretty nice Harper, Doc! Congrats!

Thanks, Aaron. The auto could be cleaner and I'd have preferred an on-card vs. a sticker auto, but it's a good starter card.

Heeeey, what are you doing with those Marlins?

Nice stuff btw.

I've been collecting Marlins for a while, Matt. Yelich mostly, Stanton when I can afford it and every now & again, Jose Fernandez, Ozuna, Hechavarria And Dontrelle Willis. David Phelps was just a continuation from my Yankees collection...

Don't worry, my Marlins/Stanton collection can't hold a candle to yours
My only other Stanton auto right now is

And most of my Yelich collection

Congrats on the Harper DrM. Nice start to a collection.

That booklet is awesome. 2011 Triple Threads is my favorite set of all time. I'm particularly fond of Stanton's from that set.

Thanks, Matt. 2011 ... back when he was just Mike Stanton! When I first saw it, I had to have That booklet ... Fish Sticks ... LOL. Who thinks up that stuff! Triple Threads has always been fun. 2011 was my first year, and Triple Threads was a new, refreshing product for me.

Congrats on the Harper DrM. Nice start to a collection.

Thanks Joe. I've been trying to focus on certain goals instead of buying everything and having piles of base cards to sort through. I've been wanting a Harper Auto for years. Seems I was never going to pull one, so I'll stop trying.
