I have seen a lot of awesome top loader binders on X recently, so I decided to build my own!
The first page has to be some nice first pitch cards. The Megan Rapinoe card is definitely my favorite on this page!
Coach Bombay!
We watched Mighty Ducks and D2 recently, but this time, all I could think about was that these movies are identical to Major League and Major League 2 except with kids and hockey.
This is also an awesome auto, regardless of the sticker 😀
Newest first pitch addition! This is possibly the only card showing a first pitch happening in Montreal, and Upper Deck misspelled her name 😃 . Always looking for unique first pitch cards!
2005 Topps Big Game Christine Brinkley blue refractor /33! I have the red Ferrari color match coming in the mail this week. She was great in Parks and Rec as well!
2004 Upper Deck Baseball has an awesome short print series featuring unique people throwing out the first pitch!
Lebron is the only one missing, and I will hopefully track one down soon.
If I could find a way to get Tiffany Gomas to sign this
@Clarkes1_1Cards
custom card, that would be not real. Super cool that she was on the PMT podcast!
I really enjoy buying a card and not realizing it's numbered until much later 🤣.
Trent Green has thrown more 99-yard passing touchdowns than Mahomes, Dawson, and Montana combined! Only one but still ha
This card is awesome for several reasons!
1. My wedding happened at the War Memorial Center (smaller brown building on the right).
2. I have attended countless events at the Milwaukee Art Museum, including other weddings, prom, and other events (white building in the center).
This is my updated spotlight foil collection, and I have a few other raw I am planning to send to SGC. Only about 190 to go and the Swift/Kanye is near impossible to find 🙂
My collection of 2011 Topps American Pie Spotlight cards has been stuck at these ten cards for a bit.
Currently, I have five percent of the set, and the odds of getting the Kanye/Swift are pretty slim, but it's time to add more!
My next non-sports SGC sub has been assembled after much deliberation!
Washington Monument /25
Carmen Electra /33
Erin Brockovich /76
Bernie Mac /100
Prince Harry SSP
Should be an interesting one!
In How I Met Your Mother, this image of Neil Patrick Harris is used in the episode called "The Playbook."
NPHs character makes up a fake persona named Lorenzo von Matterhorn, followed by several web pages praising Lorenzo. This image can be found on that website montage!
Finally, I have one of these W first pitch cards! I have no clue what he is looking at, but seeing a president in Brewers apparel is awesome. I have only one to go to complete the set!
I lived this card in a terrible basement studio apartment in Queens. The heater was old, so we used a space heater to weather the vortex. The building has since been torn down for more luxurious living 😅
I really enjoyed the hobby this month, in particular with all the trades that were made! This card is my favorite pickup of January because purple rain parallels are so eye-catching. Chase is awesome too 😎
This is an awesome PC addition! I thought this particular card was going to be super hard to find, but I got lucky, and now I have 4/10 cards in this set!
I am still learning about vintage non-sports sets, but so far, this is one of my faves! Picked up the Dickens in a deal with
@Thatnavyguy23
. Appreciate it!
My last trade post yielded some fun new additions! Not all the new cards are posted but here are the highlights.
Brinkley /99, Fields /99, Yzerman /101, and three awesome 80s cards!
Thank you

@JimJodie
for making some deals!!
There are so many great people on X, and I have been gifted many PC cards. There are too many for a page, but I wanted to put some of them together for fun! Thank you to everyone who has ever sent me a card or two!
Here are some new non-sport vintage additions!
@gilescollecting
and
@ryan234607
are always selling awesome cards, and it's hard to resist buying them all 😅
Time to start with an awesome auto! Montgomery was a great college basketball coach, especially those good Stanford teams. I am hoping to add some more unique autos in 2024!
I am slowly adding all of the royals from this set to my PC! Only seven to go, including the Queen Elizabeth card, which will probably be hard to find 🤷
I have subbed four different British royal family inserts to SGC and have received four different grades!
Kate Middleton is a top card in the set, so the timing was good for a card to get a ten!
This Marvin Harrison gold refractor is an awesome card, and I picked it up in another trade with
@collec_sport
! I am sure Harrison torched the Jets or whomever they played the day of the photo 😀
I picked up some awesome non-sports autos from
@JremiahClements
! Turns out that Val Kilmer's favorite player back in the day was Eric Gagne. Somehow, this makes perfect sense, but I am not sure why 💁♂️. Susie is amazing on Curb as well!
Finally, I found one of these HW first pitch cards for a decent price!
Looks like he may have used an actual fastball grip, but pretty hard to tell. Probably a ball anyway 😀. First pitch ever at Great American Ballpark!
I can admit that I am a 🐑! 🤣
@CardsStory
showed off his awesome Picasso pickup, and I was able to find one for my PC. This is a great set that I did not know about!
I was able to add another non-sports AG mini bazooka back to my collection! The national landmarks featured in 2007 are some of the best AG cards out there
This is easily my favorite Aubameyang card now in its new slab! I need to eventually add some kabooms, color blasts, and 1/1s, but cannot go wrong with gold.
On this day, Ben Affleck threw the first pitch, and the Red Sox beat the Mariners 6-4. Manny and Varitek both hit home runs in the victory. If you have cards of people throwing the first pitch FS/FT let me know!
Smith wore his hair long to cover the injuries made from a bear mauling! He is a legendary Western explorer and definitely earned a numbered refractor.
Thank you
@JremiahClements
for the deal!
I have been building an eclectic collection of slabs featuring each president, and the Reagan was just added from a deal with
@ryan234607
. Have a few more in my next SGC sub, but if you have something, lmk!
Shoutout to
@MashingDingers
for the fun trade! I was surprised to learn that Darko was the youngest player to be on an NBA championship team so that is cool 😎
UD Masterpieces is one of my favorite sets, so I picked up this Lester B. Pearson /50 having no clue who he is. Turns out he is an important historical figure, and I feel like an idiot for my gap in knowledge 🤣
The ace of spades from this set should have featured Motorhead!
I think it would be fun to have a PSA 8.5 collection with how random that grade is, and maybe this should be the beginning 🤔
If anyone has a lead on the short print version of this Obama All Star Game first pitch card, let me know! This card number is U1, and the short print is .sp2 (found in 2009 Upper Deck)
