RE: PC additions - Latest pickups at #278
I've been busy snagging some new Twins and a smattering of other PC pieces. Here's the highlights.
Sano 500 HR medallion, Arcia 2014 Orange Factory Set parallel /199
Polanco Pro Debut auto and BP Diamonds in the Rough Diecut /25
Stewart Green Chrome /99, Gonsalves Orange Chrome Shimmer, Blankenhorn Black and Gold Refractor
Melotakis /577, Park Refractor /199, Curtiss /10
My Giolito redemption came in less than 2 weeks, but Topps for some reason decided to include a Cingrani Finest Refractor auto for having to wait. No complaints.

RE: PC additions - November additions at #281
Been a while since I added anything to my PC that isn't low-end base or Max Kepler.
Was able to pick up this mini red /5 for a steal

RE: PC additions - First new piece of 2017 at #282
Wow ... haven't added much PC stuff of any value lately. I've picked up a bunch of team issued sets from the 80s and some cool old base stuff, but not much worth sharing. That ended this week though.
The Carew (picked up in a trade) is /99 and the Stewart is the Twitter exclusive refractor /10

RE: PC additions - Some newbies at #283
Great pick ups all around, Jared! Especially any new Carew!
I guess if I saved used tinfoil and used tea bags instead of old comic books and old baseball cards, the difference between a crazed hoarder and a savvy collector is in that inherent value.

Thanks, Doc. I need to add some more vintage Carew to my collection, and I'm still eyeballing another auto, but I had to add this one when the trade presented itself.
Been focusing on adding Kepler pieces - primarily Immaculate - but did manage to pick up this Sano mini /10

RE: PC additions - a new Sano joins the PC (at #285)
Still focusing on Kepler right now, but I did manage to pick up both of these ... and I'm SUPER happy about both of them
'16 Chrome Orange Shimmer Blankenhorn - paid 10% of its surprisingly high BV

RE: PC additions - First day of Spring Additions at #286
Added my first Alex Kirilloff auto ... here's hoping the Tommy John surgery is successful
And picked up two of the Trout Donruss variations for cheap:

RE: PC additions - May pickups beginning at #289
Wow, I haven't checked out your pick ups in a long while. Great stuff all around.
Kirilloff should be good after TJ ... i picked up a couple of his EEE autos. Prospect pitchers are the biggest gamble there is. The odds are stacked against them.
Hey, you must be pretty happy with your Twins sitting on top of the division!!! Congrats. Max K has been pretty good for the team. Glad I followed him because of you. Great young star in the making!
