Do you have a 1992 Topps Stadium Club Larry Barkin card Justin?

Today I learned something I did know about:
They talked about that briefly during the SB.
I found out I have a dozen or so of him last week.

$400 isn't bad for a lot of junk.
I'm in the market for my first graded card at the moment. I've lost a couple ebay auctions since yesterday, one for a 1975 Topps Morgan PSA 6 and one for a 1965 Pete Rose PSA 4. I think my main focus is going to be on the 1975 Topps set, I'd like a PSA 6 or better of each of the Great Eight to pair with my auto'd baseballs I have of that group. I'm also thinking of starting a collection of all Larkin Topps main set base cards in PSA 10. If I can snag a good deal on a 1960s era Rose, Bench, Perez, or Robinson in PSA 4 or better I'd be happy as well.
I wasn't expecting to get this far deep into collecting again when I decided to go through all of my cards, but I'm enjoying it so far.

Prices might be a little high. He has the PSA 4 at $121.50 and I just missed out on one on ebay for $45.

Justin,
Found a couple other Larkins. One's got some wear (was my brother's for awhile, so I can't say where that came from). You're welcome to them, though.

Cool. Shoot me a message with your address. I'll put them in a case, package them up, and send them your way.

He also played for the Yankees. It was just a bad guess, I was attributing some Lou Whitaker to Cecil, I think.

I've been on a buying spree lately. I've picked up 30+ new Larkin's on eBay in the last couple weeks. Also just emailed a guy with an order for 104 new Larkin cards, though some were replacements for damaged cards I already own.
I've finally started cataloging everything in google sheets. I don't have everything logged so far, just through 1996, but have tallied 269 unique Larkin's in the collection. With the cards I haven't logged yet, and the cards on order, I think I'll be close to 1000 total Larkin's. I could be off by a hundred or more, but that's my guess right now.

I also picked up my first graded cards. Spent $12ish on the Morgan because of the ST (staining) modifier. Small wax stain on the back, it didn’t bother me. The Rose was about $38, which is more than I wanted to spend but I kept missing out on auctions by a dollar or less and got sick of it.
