Have drooled over the Platinum Juan de Juan of this baby for many, many years. Locked up at home for COVID, I finally pulled the trigger. Sa-weet!

2007 Topps Triple Threads Autographed Relics 6x GU Jersey Relic spells ROY HOF #06/18
Just won this on eBay tonight and am pretty excited. I've had a Triple Threads obsession going for a while now and it seems that 2007 is the least listed year on eBay. Tough to find. Can't say that these older cards look amazing in comparison to modern stuff, but it's cool for what it was. Back in 2007 this was probably a $200 card. I'm glad to have it.

I love getting these low numbered parallels!
2020 Topps Series 1 1985 Topps Style Reprint 35th Anniversary Autographs Gold Parallel On Card Auto #15/50
Sat on this one for several weeks. They were sky high on release and have steadily come down to traditional Fisk auto levels. This one is a little dinged up, but a really great looking card.

Dreamed about owning this card since its release in 2016. Finally snagged one for a decent price. Sweet card of two Boston Hall of Famers!

2020 Panini Donruss Retro 1986 Materials Black Parallel #1/1
Well, well. It's been a while. The COVID virus finds me (and you) working from home with a few spare cycles to play, and the need to distract myself. So back to the Fisk Obsession. As a rule I've been trying to do a Topps-only Fisk collection for a while. Not getting into the shabby looking Immaculate autographs as one example. But when I saw these 1986 throwbacks it really got me in the old nostalgia spot, especially this Juan de Juan (#1/1). It doesn't show in the photo, but this card is extra thick with a shadowbox-type presentation to showcase the 3-color patch. Pretty happy with this pickup and am enjoying the thoughts of collecting 1980's Donurss back when I was a kid. Hope you all are staying safe out there.
