A dozen new HOF relics added to collection; Jackie Robinson for trade/sale
Yesterday I stated a new page on this site called the “Hall of Fame Hits.” The page is designed to house the relics and autos of baseball hall of famers in my collection. One reason is to show them off; another reason is so that I don’t obtain too many duplicates. Some sets I really like and will acquire the relics from that set regardless of whether of not I already have a game-used card of that player. The same goes for cool-looking swatches. I added another dozen to the site this morning — highlighted by 2001 UD HOFers Frank Robinson auto relics and a sweet National Treasures Carl Yastrzemski swatch featuring stitch holes from what looks like his jersey number — and I should be all caught up until my newest shipment from CheckOutMyCards arrives. As the title of the page suggests, autographs will also be shown here, but they are not ready to be uploaded quite yet.
On a side note, while uploading I realized I have a second Jackie Robinson relic card that I’d be willing to move for something nice for my collection. The one for trade hails from 2015 National Treasures and is serial numbered 25/99. The card is somewhat unique because it features a swatch of flannel whereas most of the other Robinson’s feature a slick blue fabric presumably from a jacket worn by Robinson.
