Earlier this month, we wrote about Jimmy Mahan, the collector who pulled a 1/1 Williamson/R.J. Barrett card out of Panini Contenders. It sold for $15,000 after Mahan (@KentuckyCards) pledged to donate the proceeds to a North Carolina children’s home.
The story reached mainstream media in the last several days with the story below airing on the ABC affiliate in Raleigh. Check out the nice collection Jimmy has built:
Meanwhile, another big Williamson card has been pulled…from a box bought at Target.
If I told you I hit the @Zionwilliamson @PaniniAmerica prizm draft black auto 1/1 you wouldn’t believe me.
So instead I’ll just show you. #TheHobby pic.twitter.com/VNQF44dwtf

If you’re a Cubs collector this has to be a holy grail kind of piece…an original ad from the April 23, 1914 Chicago Tribune on the day Weeghman Park opened to host Federal League baseball.
Of course, the park would later be named Wrigley Field. It’s on eBay now.
Topps has released two more cards from its Living Set series and one of them should be attractive to Yankee fans. Thurman Munson gets the 1953-style treatment this week. He’s card #259 in the ongoing set.
You can buy grab them for around five bucks.
Arizona pitcher Jon Duplantier is also featured this week. He’s card #260.
Munson’s last contract with the Yankees is up for bids at RR Auction right now. It would have continued through 1981.
Munson was killed during the 1979 season when the plane he was flying crashed on approach to the airport near his home in northern Ohio.
