Here are my recent pickups Absolute /10 NT Auto /10 GS Auto /5 GS Black /10 Tolbert /10 Adams /99

So I bought a box of a Panini product about a month ago and one of my hits was pretty badly damaged. So I emailed their head customer service guy asking if they'd have anymore to replace it with, he said to send it to him and he'd see. I told him I wanted it sent back if they didn't get another as it was a really cool card, that I'd only want it replaced with a Jonathan Stewart pull out auto if they happened to still have one lying around as I still haven't found that damn card yet. Well they didn't get anymore in, so he sent it back, along with what he called in his email a "small compensation", I wasn't expecting the pull out, that would have been too perfect, but I'll sure as hell take what he sent instead /10

That's awesome, I looked for it last night and couldn't find it, not sure what I was typing in, haha Thanks

that beer stein is AWESOME where do I get me one of those? Haven't updated my stuff in a while, just got a Stew Contenders auto in the mail today, and have had a few of his and Biakabutuka auto's come in recently as well. I need to update my photobucket, been lazy and haven't in a while, once I do I'll share a few of my recent pickups, nothing all that great though EDIT: oh yea, I did also just pick up a Gettis 1/1 Contenders Printing Plate too

Yea, but that was just one of my like 11 boxes over the last couple weeks and most of the others were horrible, but it was a lot of fun to pull that one, awesome looking card

And here's the rest of what I've picked up recently, I pulled the Smitty jersey and the Pilares /10 Gold Standard myself, the Cam with his celebration picture is a SP variation in Topps

So I've got quite a few cards to update in here, but really, there's only one that matters. Sold a bunch of vintage football cards from my dad when I was at a show this weekend and decided to pick up a box that I'd been wanting to try for a while now and got a great deal on it, $130 when they used to be $200, and he only had one left so I didn't even get to choose which one I wanted. Pulled a Pilares 4/10 which was pretty cool, and then a few cards later I found this decent card hiding in there and it's the last one made, 325/325

My recent pickups over the last couple weeks, I know the Gronkowski isn't Panther related but it's too sick not to share, great add to my Arizona PC Been wanting one of the Stewart Magic Autos for a while now, finally got one at a good price, and then both the Stew and Smitty jersey cards were throw-ins by the sellers on two of them.

Not sure why I've never posted this, but I finally made it down to my first home game in 2010 for the Bengals game and had great seats, like 5th row right behind the tunnel the players come out of for introductions. After the game all the kids ran down trying to get autographs or gear from the players and I watched in case something got thrown in my direction, but wasn't going to fight young kids over anything. Well after most of the players were in the locker room and the kids started to leave, I pulled out my phone to check out of town scores/stats and as I was looking down at my phone something hit me in the chest and fell right onto my phone in my hand. Someone said they thought it was a lineman who threw it, but I'm not sure because it doesn't look big enough for it, but it had to be someone who played as it definitely looks well used and has a small tear on a seam

Okay, these showed up today, along with some cool Biakabutuka and Stewart inserts from COMC The Thomas is his nickname, he's one of my favorite players as I was in school at the same time as him so I got to see him in person for 4 years and he ended up breaking the all time pac-10(12) career receptions record on the final play of his career in a bowl win. Then the dual is with one of our lineman who also got drafted by the Jaguars in the same draft as Thomas, he's their RT Then a non-football bonus, Carlos Baerga auto, my all time favorite player. If you go to my bucket from my previous posts and check out my PC folder, I have a game used auto'd bat of his from one of his 2 Silver Slugger seasons that I won on ebay a couple months back. Like I said, it was a GREAT day for me in the card world

Oh yea, the RG3 is a great card and all, especially for a Skins fan since Williams is on it, but the redemption will probably sell on ebay for somewhere in the range of 200-300 (each Cam alone is $150 or more right now and will be selling the graded one during the season for $200+, the booklet is never leaving my possession as it was the main reason I wanted to do this deal, sooooooooooo sick!!!) Once it's live, the first one or two of that dual auto will probably sell for $300-400 with the rest falling to no more than 200, and who knows if I'd have gotten the first and been able to sell it first, so I think I made the smart play there. Thanks on that Thomas, it is a sick patch, but I'll post the other card of his I got in the mail today which I like waaaaaaaaaaay more, it's one I've been wanting for a while and it finally popped up at auction last week.

hahahahaha, thanks, told you they were going to be CAMtastic, wasnt lying, hahaha So here's the story, we agreed to the deal in principle, the dual auto redemption for the 2 Cam's and then he was going to bring some boxes of cards and I'd get an additional $50ish in cards, probably got a bit more as I got a Von Miller Contenders auto (the SP version too), a Titus Young SP Authentic 2-color patch auto, and a Topps Finest Titus Young 3-color patch auto (probably $60 now, upwards of 75 during the season) Then he said he had that Stewart too, was going to do that instead of the extra $50 in cards but he said he'd need something else from me in addition, that I just didn't want to do as I wanted those extra cards so I could sell something and get some cash out of this still. Well, he still brought the Stewart along as I said I'd bring some cards too in case he wanted some more stuff I had. So after finalizing the redemption for Cam's deal, we the went through each other's cards to see if there was anything else we could do. I gave him a Ryan Broyles Inception base auto, Prestige Ronnie Hillman auto (not #'d), Crown Royale Franco Harris patch /25, Certified Kyle Rudolph dual jersey auto /50, and Topps Gridiron Legends Mark Ingram Auto (not #'d) which is probably about $50-60 in value at the moment. In return I got the Stewart and everything pictured below (a non graded version of that same Stewart recently sold for $50 itself) The NT Mike Thomas is one of my Arizona guys (I'm an alum if I hadn't mentioned that before), wanted the Ryan Williams because I think he's going to have a huge year and will sell well later So like I said, I think I "won" in both of my trades, pretty damn happy, oh yea, and I'll be posting the other cards that showed up in the mail today in a bit too

Okay, so today was just absolutely ridiculously absurdly crazy in terms of my pickups and how they went down I gotta get going so I'll only put up the 3 big ones right now, when I get the chance later tonight I'll post the rest of my haul and the story behind it (let's just say I "won" my trades, hahaha) Both BGS cards are graded 9/10 auto and the Stew is #'d 5/5

Then this bad boy also showed up today, along with a few base cards and a 2 color patch /50 that I got all in a lot for just $10 delivered, what a steal

OOOOOOOOHHHHHHH SHIZZZZZZZZZ So I just pulled this bad boy in a box yesterday, sick card, even better than the Luck I pulled Listed it on ebay at $500 OBO and got a message from a guy locally seeing if I was interested in a trade, well.... Let's just say I came away with two SICK cards that I'll be posting in here when I get them, here's a hint.... they're CAMtastic, as well as something I can then sell for about $50 as he was going to throw in some paypal too but then couldn't because his car broke down today and needs to fix it.

That's awesome, personally I stick to the non-college stuff, but that's a real nice card

It's because the die-cut cards now are generally just boring corners cut off They need to bring back some awesome looking die-cut cards and number them low, so that they're seeked out by collectors, that would be cool

And my up to date Stewart collection, minus a few that are in the mail and my numbered inserts (have a few to 100 or less), but I always seem to be waiting on one to show up, so figure now is as good as ever to update it since I got a couple more in today All my Panthers cards are in here: http://s1158.photobucket.com/albums/p615/ZonaCats8/Panthers%20PC/?start=all

Got my first shipment from checkoutmycards today, got a bunch of cool Biakabutuka inserts and 2 more Stew cards. The pennant card is easily my favorite, the picture of him is glossy like all cards, but the rest of the blue is a felt like fabric with the picture set into it kinda, so freaking cool. The shield is /100, die-cut panther head /86, Stew Crown /10, Stew Absolute /100

Man that's a nice Army AA card, nice pick up

Decided to make a stop in at my local card store today, and the kid working was all excited when I got in there, I could tell he had something to show me, didn't expect him to pull out this perfect pairing for my logo patch with a nice dirt stain on it. He also found the Lane auto in the same big box of cards he said hadn't been gone through in a long time, the others showed up in the mail today

My newest pickups, and the picture doesn't come close to doing the shadow box justice

Just saw you asked how much those were going for I picked up the Smitty in a trade with one of the stores in my area, can't remember what I got that Stewart for, and I got the one last night for $6 dlvd, which seems about right, if not a few bucks less than it's worth since it's a logo patch

Like Jason said, mostly get all my stuff from ebay and the forums, he uses SCF, I tend to stick on blowout's forum (a site that sells boxes), then there is checkoutmycards.com and then going to local shows and stores. And trust me, my bank account doesn't like some of the cards I find either, but they're too nice for me to pass up at times Stay away from busting boxes, I swear it was the best and worst thing that I could have ever got into. It got me back into cards, so I love it for that, but I've spent so much freaking damn money on breaking boxes and most of the time you get a 1/4 of what you spent on it in sales, and then are left with just boring base cards. Most boxes are in the $100-150 range and you'll get anywhere from 1-4 "hits" per box, a lot of times those are $5-10 per hit, but sometimes you get lucky and pull a big one. I've pulled like 4 cards that I've sold for $200 or more and have another few in the $50-150 range, but the majority are $20 or less

I actually just made my first purchase from that site the other night, picked up a few nice Stew patches, 2 base cards for my Arizona PC, and then a bunch of Biakabutuka cards that I've been wanting from there for a while but didn't want to pay $4 shipping for a few $1 cards. Kinda cool that up to 10 cards is $3.99 shipping though, I made offers on the 2 Stew cards and then figured I'd pick up 8 other cheapie cards and not have to pay for shipping.
