As always I hope everyone had an enjoyable Christmas, I know I did! Now let's have a look at a few presents I got myself: eBay pickups from the last four months of 2017:
My oldest chronological purchase is this 2015 Topps Update Magenta plate of PC guy
Clayton Richard. Waaaaaaay back in early September I plunked down $8.50 delivered, nicely within my reasonable range for 1/1s, for what's now my sixth plate (and 11th hit) of the former Michigan QB/pitcher. Clayton is pictured here with the Cubs after resurfacing in the Majors with them in 2015, but he later returned to San Diego in a 2016 trade. Those appearances for the Cubbies mean he's pitched on both the north and south sides of Chicago!
If you're a big fan of plates, please check out
this evening's TMM post. With the above Richard and that post's additions I now count
94 1/1s in my collection!
My other two additions to show off here are oversized cards of this here blog's #1 PC guy,
Rich Hill. My most recent favorite eBay seller,
markaguirre22, was asking just $3 with free shipping for each: 2016 Topps 5x7 Red (#1/5) and 2016 Topps Heritage 5x7 Gold (#01/10). I believe both were available exclusive through Topps online, possibly as part of sets. While I don't count them towards
my Hill supercollection checklist I'm happy to have a couple new things to add to his collection in general (285 items strong!), even if they're a bit tricky to store.
That's it over here, but as I mentioned earlier, please
head over to TMM this evening for lots more plate action, plus a lump of coal!
That Heritage card...WOW!
ReplyDeleteI didn't realize you collected 1 of 1's. I think I might have a printing plate or two laying around that I can send your way.
