New Mini Collection



 I recently decided to try and collect one Memorabilia, Relic or Signature card of every HOF'er

since 1950.  So far I have 42 cards.  There is a long way to go with over 200 HOF'ers in that category.

Here are a few of my latest from a COMC shipment I just received.





Some of the most recent class.


Almost finished with a couple of insert sets I'm pursuing


1996 Mozaics.  Only need Boggs and Griffey to complete


Another 1996 set.  Christie Brinkley Collection.


This particular bubble has over 25 cards in its "Rainbow".  I now have 16



One of a few to have a minor and major league bubble.


New Football bubbles are hard to find.


As I search Minor League cards to find more bubbles, I usually seek out the better oddballs
for my many mini collections.

vintage and misc

 Let's start with a couple of vintage.  I picked up these two at my last card show.



1933 Tatoo Orbit


I thought it was older, but it's a reprint from the 80's
Still good for my "Bob" collection


Another Bob


This was inserted in last month's Beckett


This is for Mark


This card will trigger a Kahn's post soon.


This is Oh's Sunset Card.  Can you believe 805 HR'S!!!


I have 18 Thomas cards that were unauthorized, but not as many as Griffey Jr.

Minor League Bubble King

 Garrett Havig was dedicated to the Bubble.  Garrett was a trainer for two different minor league teams

and on 9 of his 10 cards he has blown a bubble.



This is his biggest

Other new bubbles included a pair from Topps Black and White


I have three version of Strawberry so far


My 6th version of Winn


One of my favorite players,  this is the 5th version I have of this card


Topps Gallery has had some cool inserts lately


Stan was the baseball coach when I was in college and I took a Handball class
with Stan as my instructor.


I have been accumulating quite a few Minor League cards, mostly from the 70's or older














Gavin works his Magic

 Although Gavin has done multiple customs for me, I'm always amazed with the Magic he performs. His latest batch has bubbles on players ...
