2005 Leaf Certified Materials Fabric of the Game Dual Game-Used Jerseys w Johnny Bench

Cool card. 



2012 Leaf Legends of Sport Inscriptions On-Card Auto

Another creative idea from Brian Gray at Leaf. Loved this when it came out, and like a lot of releases you have to wait until they're no longer hot to get one at an affordable price. It's not the most amazing looking card. A lot of white space and Fisk left-justified the auto, but still love to see the big 11X All-Star. 


2011 Topps Triple Threads #TTFR-17 Double-Sided Game Bat - Sepia Parallel #05/27

Not a huge fan of Triple Threads but like this double sided jobbie as it is White Sox on front and Red Sox on back. Fisk is a rare Hall of Famer that is equally popular on two different teams, so pretty rare to see both on one card.

1997 Donruss Significant Signatures On-Card Auto # /2000

This is the granddaddy of them all as far as I know. For Fisk, pretty sure this is the first on-card auto ever issued. Sure, there's 2,000 of them out there so they're now worth $10-15 and probably dropping, but a great looking card even now.




2014 Panini National Treasures Flawless On-Card Diamond #19/20

Well I have to say this is a first for me. A real diamond inserted into a card. I waited and got this a lot cheaper than I originally would have expected....IF the diamonds are real :)


2014 Leaf 'Q' 2-Color Patch Auto

Leaf did well with the Q issue this year. Great practice-worn jersey patch and on-card auto for reasonable prices.




2014 Topps Supreme Simply Supreme Auto #13/15

This...is...sick
