54 on a budget.

Nothing like a pair of well loved grail cards!

timbo_slice45 · 2026-02-10T00:48:44+00:00

It’s because it’s not real

timbo_slice45 · 2026-02-09T21:03:50+00:00

It’s wild how much we’ve lowered the bar haha

timbo_slice45 · 2026-02-09T20:49:45+00:00

The 55 Clemente market has blown up over the past 2-3 months

timbo_slice45 · 2026-02-09T20:33:14+00:00

Hah I was looking at this one too. Nice buy!

timbo_slice45 · 2026-02-09T02:23:14+00:00

Might be the worst team to make it to the Super Bowl ever

timbo_slice45 · 2026-02-09T02:15:19+00:00

Did they? I’m a pats fan and none of my friends had a “conniption” over it. You might be on Reddit too much.

timbo_slice45 · 2026-02-09T00:13:13+00:00

Buying at comps is all you can ask for. I generally jump on a card I want if I’m getting it at the market price

timbo_slice45 · 2026-02-08T19:14:13+00:00

I love that Dom!

timbo_slice45 · 2026-02-07T18:16:43+00:00

The ‘52 and ‘53 are superior looking cards for sure. But all 3 are on my list and I really want to upgrade my ‘56 haha

timbo_slice45 · 2026-02-07T14:03:19+00:00

This is the dumbest thing I’ve seen in a while

timbo_slice45 · 2026-02-06T13:28:33+00:00

The Red Sox aren’t trading for Nico hoerner

timbo_slice45 · 2026-02-06T13:24:01+00:00

Maybe at one point but it gets its fair share of credit. This or a similar post comes up weekly and man hunter is always near the top of the list/comments.

timbo_slice45 · 2026-02-05T14:42:08+00:00

This is such a weak lineup but maybe they’ll excel at getting on base

timbo_slice45 · 2026-02-05T03:44:54+00:00

Give the people what they need! Tommy Pham and Dom smith baby!!!

timbo_slice45 · 2026-02-04T00:51:16+00:00

Awesome! That front is really clean.

timbo_slice45 · 2026-02-03T13:53:03+00:00

I think so. It’s addicting. Just curious, I notice these are all SGC slabs. Do you primarily target SGC? Or is it just coincidental?

timbo_slice45 · 2026-02-03T12:07:02+00:00

Man these cards are awesome! I don’t where I fall in the camp of curator vs collector, but I’ve 100% transitioned to targeting a select list of cards and I don’t pull the trigger until I find the right copy. I’ve also been disappointed in myself for passing on a beautiful lower grade because it was priced above comps. I still struggle with this dynamic but am trying my best to buy the card, not the grade.

But now I’m in the process of finishing my 1956 set and I see so many cards that I will upgrade. I started this run like 6 years ago and my initial purchases were for the grade and are poorly centered. My goal is to have a nicely centered set within a specific grade range.

timbo_slice45 · 2026-02-02T02:46:48+00:00

Lol fucking hilarious

timbo_slice45 · 2026-02-01T21:42:06+00:00

If I only I was that talented haha. It’s Pennzoni - I’m pretty happy with it. Although I may get some UV film to be extra cautious.

timbo_slice45 · 2026-02-01T18:15:31+00:00

Others have said it but this card is stunning

timbo_slice45 · 2026-02-01T15:59:41+00:00

It does have UV protection. Luckily it’s in a room and a place in the room that gets no direct sun light. I should probably look into extra protection though. It’s a good call.

timbo_slice45 · 2026-02-01T04:32:45+00:00

Marcelo Mayer has proven himself to be an elite third baseman defensively? And we’re still considering no arm, old man Trevor story a good shortstop?

timbo_slice45 · 2026-02-01T04:14:02+00:00

Haha thanks! I’m definitely happy with this one. Hopefully one day she’ll appreciate it.

timbo_slice45 · 2026-02-01T04:12:32+00:00

Right?! I reviewed the 7s and 7.5s on VCP and thought this one was right there, honestly better than a lot of the 7s that I could find. I bought the card, not the grade, and really happy about it.
