[ALR-bishop]

...is off to a good start

[stlcardsfan]

Whoa....VERY nice

[Cardboard Junkie]

Outstanding 64 Mick!

Here's a 52T Feller....presents nicely for the grade.

[JollyElm]

94288

Picked up two of these incredibly tough high numbers.

[ALR-bishop]

Some 52 master sets types believe there are 2 "variations" of the Feller card. They are sometimes described as a clear or hazy background. Some point out that on some versions little or none of the lines are visible on the card. Although, Like the 52 Crandall red or orange background "variation" it seems more like a minor printing difference to me, that has not stopped me for looking for a good example of both :)

[the 'stache]

Nice pick ups, guys! A good start to the month, indeed!

[t206blogcom]

Thanks guys!

[ecRich]

Just back from SCG

[varsitycollectibles]

Got these yesterday. The Clemente I picked up through the B/S/T section here. The beaters I got from my LCS.

Well good thing, my Ebay Bucks just went in effect ( 120+ credit) which is not bad. Ended on Ebay last night.

[jimm]

That is an awesome Post, congrats...

[ALR-bishop]

Very nice

[Bestdj777]

Great pickup. So glad you were able to get this one. And, I think you got it for a great price.

[jp1216]

Been looking for this one for some time. Low grade, but good eye appeal - and price!

[ALR-bishop]

Great cards John.

[the 'stache]

Nice additions, guys.

John, the centering on that '57 Mays is outstanding.

[Cardboard Junkie]

Picked up this 52 Ashburn. (sorry for the bad pic).:oDave

[ALR-bishop]

Nice card David

[Tanman7baseball]

Just bought these this morning hence the in-car photo :cool:

NOW THAT'S A PRETTY CARD :eek::eek::eek:. Yes I'm jealous.............

[Paul S]

Colby, would love to have those three in a poker hand.

Hey, don't you already have the '59 from the Cow-In-The-House find?

[Tanman7baseball]

Colby, would love to have those three in a poker hand.

Hey, don't you already have the '59 from the Cow-In-The-House find?

I do have the Mantles from the "cow find" but I also have many duplicates of each Mantle from all years (except '51 & '52 of course :rolleyes:). I am quite the hoarder when it comes to Mantles and buy any Mantle that I can find at a decent price. I just can't help it. Also, I like to hoard my Brooklyn Dodgers stuff as well :D.

I'm actually trying to sell those sets from the "cow find" so I can buy more t206s:D:D:D.

Sadly that means I will be left with three less Mantles :(

Currently I'm looking for a Baseball Card Anonymous group near by...

[the 'stache]

Colby, where did you get the Mantles?

If you're able to drive somewhere first thing in the morning, and pick up an assortment of PSA graded vintage Mantles, I just might have to move. We don't have anything like that down here in Texas, save for the occasional card show.

If your in Texas then the cards are there... Just have to find them:D

Well first, you need to find a woman who rides horses for a living (particularly English).
Second, attend all horse shows she rides in.
Third, ask everyone who sits near or even remotely close to you if they have baseball cards.
Fourth, find the people who do have cards then ask to see if you can look at their cards.
Lastly, offer them money for cards.

(Works well if you live in the middle of no where in Oklahoma :p)

[ALR-bishop]

I have attended a lot of horse shows all over Texas and have yet to run into anyone who had baseball cards or wanted to talk about them. I have a lot of them but either brought them with me or bought them elsewhere. I have have been to Oklahoma a few times but failed to ask anyone about baseball cards while there. If I get back I will give it a try :-)

Enjoyed your story

Do you know Roger Neufeldt ?

[Paul S]

I'd think there would be a good amount of Mantles in OK. :confused: Obviously I guess a person needs to use your ingenuity to find them.
I wonder how many there are in Commerce? :)

[ALR-bishop]

....or Dime Box

[Paul S]

....or Dime Box

Al, you totally schooled me on that one. Had to do my research!

[aabram23]

Here's my dime box. Figure that one out:) It's also where a lot of my card money goes too. 95343

[ALR-bishop]

That's a type of drink ?

[Tanman7baseball]

....or Dime Box

Hahahahh hey I don't mind picking through "Dime Box" Mantles. I'll buy em all day!

[ALR-bishop]

....is in Lee County Texas, 78250, population 834. You are welcome to all the Mantles you can find there...or apparently in the other Dime Box above

[Tanman7baseball]

....is in Lee County Texas, 78250, population 834. You are welcome to all the Mantles you can find there...or apparently in the other Dime Box above

I know "Dime Box" as an expression for cheap cards and I know there is a city in Texas as well called this. I referred to the cheap cards "Dime Box" expression only because you sent me a PM with pictures of two 52' Mantles and other priceless Mantles (right after I showed my Mantles on the thread).... I figured your "Dime Box" comment was belittling my Mantles because in comparison to yours they really are just nickels and dimes hahah. I guess I misunderstood. Now I realize your just an avid Mantle collector like me and you were just showing me your Mantle treasures.

By the way the '52 PSA 8(oc) is insane. You definitely have a drool worthy Mantle collection...

[pawpawdiv9]

Thanks, for the comment Tanman7baseball.
The 60 Post Cereal was a thrill and got in the mail a few days ago.
REALLY NICE>

Glad to know theres another Mantle collector on here.
I wish these Registrys all kept track of ALL the TPG's ..I got a mix of all 3 graders.


By the way the '52 PSA 8(oc) is insane. You definitely have a drool worthy Mantle collection......

I need to see this collection ^^^^^^^^

[ALR-bishop]

I guess none of us knew what any of us was talking about. That is not unusual for me. Glad we are back on track

[pepis]

Nice pick up here if i have it graded i'll sell it most likely
so i'll just keep it the way it is.

[Cardboard Junkie]

Nice card Jose!! Great centering!

Aaron tell that Hollywood Starlet to watch that sun!! (I've been fighting skin cancer for the last year...operations...skin grafts....NOT a trip to Disneyland):D Dave.

[Tanman7baseball]

There's another goodlooking Mantle! Nice pick up. Great centering as well.

[the 'stache]

That's a beautiful '61 Mantle, Jose.

[Paul S]

Jose, I have always been somewhat nonplussed with 61Ts in general. But that Mantle just changed my mind.

[ALR-bishop]

Sure is a beauty

[Tanman7baseball]

Mantle 1965 #134
Mantle 1966 #50
Mantle 1960 #563

[Cardboard Junkie]

Colby! Wow man, you're an animal (I mean that in a good way). Nice cardboard dude!! Dave.:D

[pawpawdiv9]

i almost got to say.. That Mays blows me away. Nice material.

FYI....guys the items i recently pick-up, just sent to the post office for SGC grading
1. 1960 Post Cereal/Grape Nuts
2. 1929 Shoew Japanese Babe Ruth "UnMarked" postcard
3. 1965 Joe Namath SP/Rookie card (tall boy)------just because people want to buy it.

Beautiful cards! So glad that you are only going after high grade Mantles.

[Tanman7baseball]

Beautiful cards! So glad that you are only going after high grade Mantles.

What chilling sarcasm I sense? Whatever the case is, thank you, I just like buying Mantle cards I find local (poor or mint) ;)

[ALR-bishop]

I love that card. I actually went to one game of the 64 Series in St Louis. Topps really messed up with this card which shows Mantle wiffing on a Gibson fastball. The actual HR was hit off Barney Schultz

[Bestdj777]

No sarcasm at all. Your pickups this month are amazing. It is nice to see other Mantle collectors posting. And, I am very pleased that your cards have been higher grade--less competition for me!

[pawpawdiv9]

grades 3-6 is my range too.. I was outbidded on some Who Am I raw cards.
of Mantle and Mays...yeah raw...but they went for double the BV...CRAZY!!!
Currently have some bids out for the next few days...theres something i really like to have..(sorry not telling)

Heritage has some NICE 52's #311 graded cards-- low grades..Reasonable!!
Only if i had the $$$. i most certainity get one. Theres like 4 of them if i remember and they have some higher end one...like a Berk Ross i want too.
** Everyone chip in some money,, and we can do a timeshare program :D

BTW- i looked at the REA auction....there a decent Koufax RC and AUTO...but its a 4 and a slight un-noitceable crease...still appealing for a average collector.

Well I'm glad to see so many Mantle collectors as well!:)

[pawpawdiv9]

almost forgot----they do have a COLLECTION of 1960 POST CEREAL.....for those that didnt enough from my pics...LOOK at THIS:
http://sports.ha.com/c/item.zx?saleNo=7075&lotNo=80694#Photo
1960 Post Cereal "Sports Stars" Complete Set (9) Plus Mantle Cereal Box or Store Display Ad. The immediate response to "rarely offered" is often a roll of the eye balls. Not this time. The thought of acquiring a rarely offered complete set of all nine 1960 Post Cereal athletes, a line up topped by Mickey Mantle is an envious gaze, made the more so by an almost impossible Mantle advertising piece. Their large size and circulation as the back of cereal boxes has resulted in a supply which sadly fails to meet demand. The 1960 Post Cereal set is highly treasured by hobbyists all too well accustomed to not finding any after pursuing auction catalogs and dealer tables. Their rarity confirmed after decades of the Internet has failed to produce any notable extra supply. The beautifully made, full-color, 7 x 8-3/4" cards came one per box, consuming most of the back panel of Post Grape-Nut Flakes boxes. Each measures full size or is 1/16 shy unless noted. Representing multiple sports, the set includes the following Hall of Famers: Bob Cousy (7x8-5/8"), Don Drysdale (FR, tape) plus side panel bio, Frank Gifford, Al Kaline plus side panel bio, Harmon Killebrew, Mickey Mantle (6-1/2 x 8-1/2"), Eddie Mathews (6-7/8" x 8-11/16", light tape stains), Bob Petit and Johnny Unitas. Also included is a 6-1/2" x 9" ad card with Mickey Mantle that was hand cut from either some type of store display piece or more than likely from a Post cereal box announcing the upcoming promotion. Each has creases largely limited to the black inner frame and wood border areas and are technically GD with better visual appeal. Guide Value or Estimate: $3,000 -

HERIATGE IS JUST FLOODED WITH MICKEY MANTLES IN THIS AUCTION!!!![/SIZE]

[pawpawdiv9]

Had some bids in today...and from MemoryLaneInc.

1. Got outbidded far beyond what i thought BV was on a Topps stand-up PSA 4, i figured around 150 BV, but expected to pay near 200, because i desired to have one..but it went for around 225 or so.

2. Only bidded on it, just because it was a PSA 6..and i didnt have one yet. Looked good enough to grab...and i did WIN for about 1/2 the price.

Agreed! I am a big fan of the 1964 Topps Giants set and really like autographed examples a lot. Very nice pick ups Rob.

Here's a new card that arrived this week. Joe D. knocked it out of the park on this one...

What a beautiful DiMaggio, both the auto and the card.

Yes, Best---a great pick up of one of his toughest cards

[Bestdj777]

Thanks Al! I love the washed out look of the Venezuelans and was really happy to add this to my collection at a decent price.

[pawpawdiv9]

Not too bad BESTDJ777:
Not in my particualr interest yet...maybe down the line..Still a great add.
Picking up these RARE cards have been truely just falling in our laps.

[chaddurbin]

very nice joe d!

i got another signed carew for some reason, and the banks will soon be signed also.

[39special]

I picked up a few the last couple of weeks.

[ALR-bishop]

Great cards Brian

[pawpawdiv9]

FYI-- just got back a submission status report.
The 1960 Post Cereal has been graded...and they did give it a numerical grade
Coming back a SGC 10....1of2 highest graded by SGC..Whooooo!
The 1929 Shoew Japanese Bae Ruth...is another story.
It is coming back labeled as a 1928 Shonen Kulubu Babe Ruth and graded a SGC 40
The 65 Namath did not do so great...coming back way under expectations. SGC 30

[ALR-bishop]

...can you give us a first name. Be good if everyone would

[h2oya311]

Yo Phil !

I've refreshed this darn page 57 times to get a glimpse of your most recent pick-up! We want scans! We want scans!! I want to see a card other than Mantle for once!

[bcbgcbrcb]

You're in luck, Derek, the Palmer came in the mail today. Now, just have to scan it. BTW also picked up a 1940's RPPC of Warren Giles.

[old-baseball]

very nice joe d!

i got another signed carew for some reason, and the banks will soon be signed also.

Carew actually lives close to me in Southern California. Nice guy and still chews like Nellie Fox. He's always happy to sign an auto for someone which is awesome because I have a couple RCs I might ask him to sign when I go back home :cool:

[ALR-bishop]

Cool cards Kevin. Too bad you ended up collecting something called num nums :)

[bcbgcbrcb]

Here's the '65 Baltimore team issue Palmer & c1940 RPPC of Warren Giles........

num nums...haha

VERY COOL though...I love those!

[Tanman7baseball]

:DWell I had an interesting day to say the least! I just got home from picking up an array of baseball cards and memorabilia. Got two binders filled cards with years ranging from 1953-1971. There’s about 100+ Post Cereal Cards from 1961-1963 with virtually every star (4 Mantles total I think). Also found a couple Rodeo Meats cards and a Mickey Mantle Exhibit (no outline) hiding in the binders. Got a nice handful of rookies and tons of stars/HOFs. Unfortunately, all the stars from 53-56 have pinholes (like the 55T Williams and Robinson)…

Cards are still gorgeous and I couldn’t be happier!!! There was also a set of 1964 Topps Giants. Lastly, I topped it off with a nice 1st Issue Sports Illustrated and a sweet Jackie Robinson Magazine from 1950 Sport Life. Still digging so I will update more if I find any more awesome stuff!! All in all, great day :D

These are my most notable and worthy of posting.

http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8260/8666960128_131b662b2b_c.jpg
Just a bunch of nrmt RCs and Hofs. They are all just sharp corners except for 67 Robinson

http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8257/8666943366_240b84be94_c.jpg
First Rodeo Meats cards. Interesting. EDIT: just realized Elston Howard slipped in there. I don't know why I was thinking it was Norm Cash....

http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8264/8665839561_db680024f3_c.jpg
Even though they are a little roughed up its still my first 55 Williams:)

http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8255/8665838469_512e7be5c2.jpg
This is going to get framed. The magazine is just a great piece of history I think. Anyways still have a bunch to go through but this is just some noteworthy things I have found.

[Bestdj777]

Great cards Colby!

Here is my latest pickup:

[novakjr]

Agreed, Great haul Colby. Does the Sports Illustrated still have the inserts?

[Tanman7baseball]

Agreed, Great haul Colby. Does the Sports Illustrated still have the inserts?

Thanks guys and yes it does have the inserts.

[7nohitter]

Colby-

Awesome picks! I've enjoyed reading the posts you've made about your finds...good stuff!

[novakjr]

'57 Sohio Colavito, and a bunch of Photopack photos from the Strongsville show. Already had some of 'em, but for the price, I couldn't pass..

[39special]

I like the Colavito!

[novakjr]

I like the Colavito!
Thanks. It's got a pinhole, and someone traced over the facsimile. But I've never been very condition sensitive and it was a great price..

[CW]

One more for the month....

[pawpawdiv9]

Love that 51 Bowman look...i love my Mantle, betcha you love this one. Great color and just pops at you. VERY NICE INDEED!!!

[CW]

Muchas gracias, Chris!

[CharleyBrown]

Three more to go for the set!

[Volod]

I love that card. I actually went to one game of the 64 Series in St Louis. Topps really messed up with this card which shows Mantle wiffing on a Gibson fastball. The actual HR was hit off Barney Schultz

Right, Al - By '64, Mantle had a tough time catching up to a Gibson heater, was lucky enough to get a hanging knuckler from Schultz. The photog with the long lens in centerfield probably wanted a shot of a shot off Gibson, but didn't want to bother with Schultz.

[Volod]

Good start to 1952 Num Num set.
Great cards from a great set, Kevin. Where'd you find them - eBay?

[old-baseball]

Steve - they came in a private transaction. I don't think I'll be cutting the tabs off:)

[novakjr]

coupla ebay pickups... The Giles PC isn't anything special, but I'm pretty excited about the Cepeda.

Here is the pics of my sub:

The FexEd service...was horrible..The condition of the package was all torn up.
Almost where the popcorn would come out, and on 2 corners. What the heck do these carriers do???? I expect better service.
Thankful SGC securely bubblewrap their holders, but did notice a minor crack towards the upper mid side(backside) and the bottom, where heated or whatever together, looked kind of crappy to me...needless to say it looks good.

And the other 2 cards i sent it.
Keeping in mind, they changed the description on the Babe Ruth.
and got a lower than expected grade on the Namath RC.

Ok, forgive my ignorance, Al, but is the variance part of the card that I'm missing, or the white "line" on Mays' arm?

Beautiful cards, Steve! :)

Yes. the white 'band" on his arm in the action insert is a print defect, but a recurring one
