1993 Finest #98 Don Mattingly AS SGC 96

I couldn't wait to get this card in the mail.  1993 Finest #98 Don Mattingly AS.  Got it off of eBay for $5.83 shipped.  Great deal in my opinion.  This is one of my favorite sets of all time.  I'm not a big fan of SGC especially for more modern cards but I just couldn't pass it up.

2010 Donruss Elite Extra Edition Draft Hits Autographs #2 Dale Murphy

I was so happy when I got this in the mail today.  If you know me you will already know my favorite player is Dale Murphy.  This is my 3rd auto of him.  Got this super cheap off eBay.  I just loved watching him play the game.  This card is in great shape.  Auto is flawless and the card is crisp.  2010 Donruss Elite Extra Edition Draft Hits Autographs #2 Dale Murphy numbered to 99.  If you have any you want to get rid of please shoot me an email.

1996 Ultra Hitting Machines #2 Barry Bonds

Another card from another great 90's insert set.  Back when card companies actually thought about design instead of just serial numbers and game used pieces.  I bought the complete set off eBay about 7 years ago.  This die-cut card is so easy chip corners.  1996 Ultra Hitting Machines #2 Barry Bonds.

Just got these back from Beckett grading - Brett, Mattingly, Longoria, Price

Got in on a group BGS submission with FreedomCardboard.com.  If you haven't tried it you should.  A great price that I haven't been able to find anywhere else.  I just got these back.  A little disappointed in the Mattingly and Price cards but still not too bad.
