A few months ago, I picked up a card on Listia that I had wanted forever: a Topps Stadium Club Co-Signers Tino Martinez. It cost me a pretty penny (in terms of credits), but also included a few goodies.
Later, that same seller put up a few other cards that I was interested in, and I was lucky enough to win them both. I'm especially excited about the on-card Rizzuto certified auto. I have a few other Rizzuto autos, but they are TTMs and uncertified. It doesn't get much better than this.
The Pineda is a solid PC pickup as well.
Now, you might remember that when I won the Tino, the seller threw in about a dozen Yankee autographs. We exchanged a few emails, and I found out that he was an avid autograph collector and overall good guy.
Just how good? Well, between the Rizzuto and Pineda, he threw in about 100 autographed cards! The variety is incredible, and I'll show them a few at a time over the next few weeks. Here's a sample of what you can expect:
Stay tuned!
I collected baseball cards from the late '80s through 2002. Then I went to college and when I came out, I was lost. There were too many brands, sets, choices, relics, autos, parallels, variations. It was a turn off. However, I slowly made my way back. So here is my attempt to venture back into the hobby. I'll buy a few packs of cards here and there, comment on some cards I have, send out some TTMs, and follow the progress of my Topps Yankees Project.
Sweet Rizzuto
