Finally adding a new AJ to the collection, and it’s a doozy! Finding the AJs I’m missing is just getting harder and harder so it’s always a fun surprise when one comes up for sale.

Thought I missed getting this on eBay, but my lovely wife bought it for me as a late birthday gift. She’s the best.
I’m a big fan of art cards, and when this one popped up in a limited time release. It’s signed and hand-numbered on the back. Most of all, it’s got a great image. For those curious it’s marydavisstudio.art The Hank is no longer available but there’s a new release of three cards.
I love this card. Excited to add it to my Stadium Club display.
It’s been slow collecting on the AJ front this year as he hasn’t been in most products. I was able to complete his Bowman run, minus the 1/1, and I’ve been able to mark some of the cards I needed off the checklist. If you happen to run across any AJ 1/1s or low numbered cards, please let me know. If you find something I need I’ll owe you a favor. And that’s as good as cash. 😁

I’m down to needing only 30 non 1/1s to have all licensed AJ cards.
These cards were only available in packs of Molten Metal distributed to dealers at the 1999 National. I really love the team logo die cut on these, and it’s really fun to have rarely seen Braves in the set. My favorite is the Kenny Lofton in the throwback uni.
Super excited to add this to the collection as I’m a HUGE Stadium Club nerd.
When I first saw this image, I knew I had to have this card. Love the intensity on Randy’s face.
Love this card. Really great shot of the team after winning the division, but Tucker being featured mad this a must buy. They’re not terribly expensive so if you’ve got an extra $50-$70 and are a fan, I’d definitely get one.
I love looking at these. The 2017 in his gray jersey is my favorite by far.
Was finally able to land a red refractor and finish this rainbow. Excited to see them all together. If anyone has a line on a red wave auto from Topps Chrome, please let me know; it’s the last one I need for that rainbow.

I really love the 2024 Inception design. It’s unfortunate they used sticker autos and player-worn relics on such nice cards. Perils of being a super collector, I suppose. Still love how these look together.
Decided to go ahead and start finishing up the run of Acuña SSPs from Stadium Club. Really love this photo.
So excited to snag a copy of this to continue my Hank Aaron Legends Variation collection. On first glance this photo may seem a bit boring, but once you delve just a little deeper the story is really cool. This photo was taken after signing his contract in 1966, the year the Braves moved to Atlanta from Milwaukee. This is most likely Hank Aaron’s first photo in an Atlanta Braves uniform. History in the making.
Fun Fact: This Aaron card is a golden mirror of the base Ronald Acuña card.
Had a fellow collector put me in contact with the person selling this. Authentic locker plate from the 2023 Division series against the Phillies. Really love that it shows his number as 62, which would change to 32 the following season.
I couldn’t hit the Buy It Now button fast enough when this one popped up on eBay. Really excited to add it to the Blooper collection.

I lost this card on an eBay auction and wrote it off ever being in my collection. Never underestimate the power of the internet. A message from a buddy telling me it was for sale and then some negotiating with the seller, and the card is in the collection and completes the patch rainbow. I’m truly thankful for all the folks that have helped me out with my AJ collecting goals.

I now own 3 of the 4 White Whale RPAs. Was able to pick this one up from an individual from posts I made on some collector groups. The support from the collector community I’ve received as a super collector of AJ has been amazing, and I’m so appreciative of everyone who has sold me a card.
If you happen to see low-numbered AJ cards (/10 or lower) out in the wild, please let me know. I’m down to needing about 33 cards - minus 1/1s - to have all licensed AJ cards.

Orange Foil auto /5 and a gold minted rookie. I’m a huge Stadium Club fan, so I couldn’t pass these up when I saw them. Loving Big Dom
