Well the big one finally came in today via Registered Mail. This will probably be my last update for a long time as this one set me back a ton of PC cards. Enjoy.

Wowza! Great, great card. Congrats, but I'm also a bit bothered by this thread because it makes me want to get rid of everything and focus on a couple of really awesome players ... my bank account hates you a little. lol

Man that is a sweet pickup! Speechless is what I am! I have that set, but the condition of my Jeter is not like that! Congrats!

Thanks. I decided to concentrate on my main player. One, for the love of his cards and the type of player he is and second, these types of cards to me will not lose value but increase in value over time. Thats why I decided to sell all my high end Patches, Bat Barrels and Autos. I figure having a high grade Jeter RC among his other cards will pan out better in the future. This way I can pass down a nice collection to my kids. Hopefully they won't sell them and if they do I don't want to be around to see it

Well, if you've got Yankee fans on your hands they might hold onto them. But if they turn to the other side of NYC you could be in some trouble ... you know how jealous of success those Mets fans are. haha

Starting another focus on my collection besides my graded Jeters. I've decided I'm getting tired of all these modern cards with a zillion different rookies for one single player, questionable memorabilia cards and what not. I've decided to go old school and keep it simple when a player had maybe 1 to 3 Rookie cards. Here are the first couple I picked up. Nothing crazy high end here.....just cool, old school rookies Will keep the thread updated as I acquire any more. Enjoy....

1961 Ron Santo



1965 Steve Carlton



1965 Catfish Hunter



1975 Gary Carter



1987 Topps Traded Maddux



1988 Topps Tom Glavine



1975 George Brett
