February pickups

[jason.1969]

Will kick this one off pretty small-time but with a big shout-out to ebay seller buck1007 (aka Big Buck's Blowouts). I had ordered a 72T Munson but he sent me 72T Bench by mistake.

Given the low values of the cards involved, I wasn't anxious for either of us to rack up postage charges to correct the issue. In a classy (but still rare) act of great customer service, Big Buck told me to keep the Bench and that he'd send the Munson right away.

So two great catchers of the 70s for the price of one.

Jason it is always good to hear stories like this. All too often we hear about the bad sellers. Kudos to buck1007 for a very classy move. A nice looking JB card for sure. Congrats.

[jason.1969]

And since many of you collect into the 1970s, I'll add that this seller seems to have a terrific selection of early-mid 1970s Topps at really low prices. I saw a really nice looking 1970 Hank Aaron go for something like $5.

(And no, it's not me or a friend of mine...just someone I stumbled on in my search for a cheap but nice looking Munson.)

[Samsdaddy]

Nice Jason. I will have to look up his eBay store.

Thanks a lot. Probably my two favorite cards. Let's hope this is only the beginning of a great month.

Jason,

How did you decide which players and which year you wanted for your top 100? For example : The 65 McCovey, why not a 68 McCovey?

[Samsdaddy]

Nice McCovey Jason.

The '65 Twins and Giants cards were some of the finest of the entire set. Love the colors for those cards.

[jason.1969]

Jason,

How did you decide which players and which year you wanted for your top 100? For example : The 65 McCovey, why not a 68 McCovey?

That's a tough question, but here's the basic approach--

If I already have a $20+ (don't laugh!) card of the player, that's the one I use. For instance, since I have a '53 Bowman Stan Musial, I definitely don't want to buy a different one.
I always avoid landscape orientation, which sadly rules out '71 Munson. :-(
I avoid multi-player rookie cards (e.g., '65 Morgan)
For the more modern players, I shoot for the RC or the earliest solo card, which is how I chose '66 Morgan.


So that explains Morgan, but the logic above would probably suggest '61T McCovey rather than 1965. However, the cards will be arranged in chronological order, and another fundamental rule for me is to not have my display break in the middle of a year.

For instance, I have a full row of 1957, a full row of 1963-1964, and a full row of 1969 (mostly because I like these three sets the most). This means I either need to have 0 cards in between these years or 10 cards between these years. Based on a handful of other factors I won't dissect here, I went with no cards from 1958-1962 and ten cards from 1965-1968.

From that, I chose the 1965 since it was the earliest McCovey I had room for and also because I liked the purple. Not totally scientific, I admit, and I'll even acknowledge the McCovey as a casualty of my system--it's a good card but not his best. Meanwhile, the system worked on that Morgan...even if I had no rules at all, it's the Morgan I'd choose.

I've always had a soft spot for '71 Topps and this Alston was the key for me in a nice lot I just picked up.

And, just for fun, here's a picture of me and "Smokey" on the Dodger Stadium infield; around '70 or '71 if my memory serves me right.

Ummmmmmmmm..............

How does one even begin? Centering on all three is in league with your famous 1952 Topps.

very nice start for each and every one of you!!!

[Exhibitman]

This card went on quite an odyssey before getting to me. I bought it on eBay and the replacement mailman we had during the holidays delivered a bunch of my mail [and the mail from the rest of our office building] to various addresses all over Burbank. The universe being what it is, the five dollar cards made it to me but this one was shown as delivered when it wasn't. I figured it went elsewhere and was stolen so I posted theft notices on the chat boards and asked local dealers (there are still a few) to be on the lookout for it. I was really ticked off, not so much about the money as the fact that I really wanted this card in my collection and they aren't all that easy to find in the price range where I wanted to be with it. Thankfully, the person who received it was honest enough to put it back into the mail and it finally made it to my collection:

[MattyC]

The Friday GIF is hysterical. Thx. I am pretty pumped on that little 57T with the crazy rare centering, too. Greg, in your new 53T in 5 and that 65T in 7 "hand-me-downs," you got two of my favorites I have had. You do not see those two centered like that too often. The 65 Mick is sneaky HARD, and almost always tilted. I pursued that new 8 hard on eBay and had to pay a record to reel it in. May take a swing on the PWCC 8 just to have another well-centered copy.

JMB, the PSA 4 53 Mick looks much, much better than the assigned grade-- lots of red on that famous corner, and great side centering. I bet against a black background it will looks even better.

Glad to hear that Bazooka Aaron-- with its serene photo of him against all that green grass-- made it to its owner, and that moreso it is now a symbol of honey in people. And also patience, LOL.

And Greg, that 56 Mick is amazing, hence why I told you to go big on your snipe. The centering is top .000001%, and the color bold, his face and complexion perfectly rendered. I've seen 8s and 9s with imperfections in his face, which is really the star of that whole card.

But the 63 in 4.5 you posted is really something special. I own that card in 8.5., and yours has superior centering. Heck, I don't think I have ever seen the 63 better centered than your 4.5. How many out of a thousand copies of that card are centered like that? Then factor in how clean and PD-free both the green and blue bottom areas are! Just honest corner wear on that card. I have seen 8s and 9s of the 63 that received their grades on sharp corners, but they had heinous tilt and measles all in the green and blue. The eye appeal on the card is easily 5.5 worthy all day.

Your 62, as was noted, is also top tier. The white top border bar is focused, the centering A+, and the edges CLEAN. Again, honest corner wear. My dream is that EXACT specimen with 8 corners.

Lastly, gotta shout out a WHITE LETTER 69 in what's a high grade for that card. And the top bottom is real nice. The 69 is IMO a "Tier One" difficulty Mick to find well centered, due to the insane tilt on the 69s.

[jason.1969]

[MattyC]

Yeah, this might be the craziest month ever, since we saw a Wagner, Ruth, and Cobb all at the start. Have to add it was a 144 Ruth that had a focused image, too. Rare sightings in these parts.

Then we also have the feel-good narratives of the Bench that came for free and the Bazooka Aaron that someone honestly sent along to its owner. And the vintage picture with the Dodger from back in the day. Taken in sum it's exactly what the online component of the hobby could and should be at its best.

Saw that '1' on eBay when it popped; has to be the best looking front on a 1 that exists. His price was very reasonable, too. I urged my cousin to buy that card. Great value for the eye appeal.

[begsu1013]

yeah, some paper loss on the back but it was the price he was asking that made it irresistible. for a crease free, non altered card w/ the eye appeal the front displays, it was really a no brainer...

[sbfinley]

Nothing major, but working this beautiful set slowly on the side. Picked these up over the past few weeks.

[MattyC]

J, nice Thurman. Funny how both those catcher cards are so nicely centered!

72 is such a pleasing Munson card, IMO; just always liked that yellow design they did for the Yanks that year, plus the background and pose. His 71 is a classic of course and the 73 is also a beautiful, kind of autumnal picture.

[jason.1969]

Thanks. Yes, was happy to find such a nice Munson for so little. And centering for 1972T can be pretty sketchy.

For my display, I was torn between 72T and the 73T you mention. Always loved the blurry fans from the 73T...almost like a painting. In fact, I used just that card as a model for a painting I did in 10th grade art class. Came out wretched though.

cincyreds24, a sweet pickup with the Mantle. I took a quick look and almost pulled trigger on it but decided not to (much to my regret now) as I was stalking some other pickups at the time. Enjoy your ride on cloud 9!!!

MattyC, That 57 Mantle has some serious pop when you look at it. The centering along with the bright borders and color/focus is crazy good for the grade. The eye-appeal tops a lot of other higher graded examples. A keeper for sure.

Greg, That 56 Mantle is incredible looking for the grade. Not sure I have seen any better looking PSA 6. A great Mantle addition congrats.

Jason, I know it was mentioned already but that 72 Munson and Bench card is not easy to find centered and you landed both at the same time that is well-played.

This has been a great February pickup thread so far. Hope to post a pickup soon.

Agree with all'o'that.

I will also say were I to build a 50's set it would be 1956. Love that string of 1956 cards earlier.

MattyC, while your 1953 Mantle is obviously and clearly a megastar five-digit card, I must repeat the above sentiment on your "lesser" 1957 (I recall your PSA 8 of the 1957 ;) ) That PSA 5 exemplar is a "phreak."

Cincy, I drool for that Bowman Mantle Rookie. I am priced out of mid-grades now I think. Difficult to find a better "one," hahaha.

Awesome. All gorgeous, but tbat '65 is perfection.

[MetsBaseball1973]

Awesome. All gorgeous, but tbat '65 is perfection.

I once tried to assemble a 1965 Set, last year. I looked at a few PSA 9's of the number 350 Mantle card..........and that PSA 8 sincerely looks better than all the 9's which I saw. They uniformly exhibited Tower Of Pisa tilt and white spots within the pink. Wonder if they would grade out 9 today if submitted raw. Probably not.

Added.........RESUBMIT THAT BAD BOY. AT LEAST REVIEW.

Yeah, Dave! Glad you reeled that one in, I know you had the cross hairs on it at the auction. There's two great 8s people can in effect cross out of the pop report, LOL!

Thanks! I just got back to this thread and have finally seen your new 53T.
All I can say is WOW!!!!! You will never ever regret paying your record price. I guarantee!!

[MattyC]

Thanks, brother. One hard lesson I have learned over the years— and learned the hard way— is that sometimes to grab a dream piece, you have to pony up.

Twice I decided to remain firm at what I thought was a good price to pay; both times I did not get the card, failed to find another as nice, and while seeking, also got a front row seat to watch the price rise beyond what I could have paid then. Basically, a perfect storm of suckage, LOL. Both instances taught me that another as nice does not surface for cheaper later on. And that it's better to have great cards than regrets. So when a centered PSA 7 of the 53 surfaced, I was not haggling or hesitating. And boy am I happy, happiness being what it's all about.

[jmb]

Thanks, brother. One hard lesson I have learned over the years— and learned the hard way— is that sometimes to grab a dream piece, you have to pony up.

Couldn't agree more with this statement. I'm not positive but I'm pretty sure I paid record prices for these 3 cards in the grades they are. But, I don't feel like I will ever need to upgrade them and they make me happy.

[MattyC]

Yes, indeed. In fact I will make you a profit on the yellow Gehrig right now, if it was for sale! (Would do so on the Ruth as well, if I needed that one, but already have a pleasing copy.) Awesome cards.

On that latest topic, just hit the BIN and paid a record for the nicest centered Mantle/Aaron I've seen, that popped on my eBay search. Looked at every 6, 7, and 8 on VCP and saw only 3 as centered. What a tough card.

[GregC]

Today's record is tomorrow's bargain. I've learned that. Any time I've ponied up for a record high I've never regretted it. It usually means the card was a stunner and brings me great joy. I did it on my 51B, 52T and 56T Mantle's just to name a few and would gladly do it again.

[begsu1013]

curious as to what record we are talking about?

highest i see was a lil over $19K for the 53t psa 7 but doesn't not appear to be the same flip...

probably did, but am i missing something that isn't on vcp or was it reholdered?


edit: i do see that another psa 7 will be hitting the pop report tomorrow...

[MattyC]

Was a private sale. Actually easily half my purchases are private sales, now that I think about it. VCP is very helpful, but in many cases it lags well behind what's happening in private sales. Eventually it catches up tho.

[Peter_Spaeth]

Matt needs a separate price guide. :D

My man, I wouldn't wish my price guide on anyone, LOL! No one should have to pay some of those prices :D

[robsbessette]

Might as well follow the trend of 53 Mick. Just picked this up from a fellow board member. Very happy with the corners and the centering. Has a crease on the front that doesn't detract too much from the card. The big killer is some paper loss on the back. But from the front this has a very strong eye appeal for me.

Great card. That crease is really hard to notice and doesn't detract at all from the eye appeal. Corners and centering are fantastic.

Never laid eyes on that 53B Minoso card before. Ya see something new here every day. Really striking card. Ethereal background.

Great Jackie-- sure doesn't hit the eye like a 1.5.

Agreed Darren, that one is "stupid" tough :)

Not sure if it is really a variation or a scarce recurring print defect, but it has hobby recognition as a variation and is much sought after

I thought my '62 Topps Dodgers Team Set was complete until I discovered Doug Camilli appeared on this multi-player rookie catcher card alongside Bob Uecker. Now my team set is complete again (I think).

And with this 1950 Bowman Don Newcombe I have finally completed my Cy Young winner rookie (or whatever is considered a "first year" or "prospect" nowadays) collection. This one doesn't have the vaunted centering we like to see usually but this card is absolutely pristine otherwise. Looks like it went out of the pack directly into a time capsule. I hope I look this good when I'm 65.

Maybe I'll post a group photo of my Cy collection later. Might be fun to see them all together.

If I got them graded which company should I use? Also had 46 of the Ted Williams in the collection and 110 Topps Football. Not sure what I am going to do with the cards yet.

Mathews is one of nine players with more than 500 HRs as a National Leaguer. Along with Mathews, two of these other players also hit home runs in the American League. Any guesses?

Sammy Sosa?

[jason.1969]

Yes, Sosa, Aaron, and Mathews are the answers. An honorable mention is McCovey who also played in the AL for part of a season with Oakland; however, he didn't hit any home runs there.

Meanwhile, the other 5 players are NL lifers: Bonds, Mays, Schmidt, Banks, Ott.

[savedfrommyspokes]

While these cards have apparently been in my collection for a while, they are a "new" find for me. I was recently flipping through a box of off grade 60 Topps dupes, and noticed these 5. They all appear to be 60 Venezuelan Topps cards. Three have the CR, two do not, but they are all consistent in print quality, etc. Over the years, I wonder how many of these 60 (and 59, 62) V cards I have unknowingly just thrown into some off grade lot and sold off.

[DBesse27]

If those are Venz, they're among the cleanest I've ever seen. Nice find.

Do they have gloss on the front? They look pretty shiny in the pictures, but it is difficult to see in photos. What do you mean by CR?

I love the comment about accidentally throwing them in some lot. I got mine graded because I was afraid my wife would one day do that when going through my collection....

I have a 59 V card and the dull gloss on that card is similar to the dullness of gloss on the front of these 60 cards. The #156 and #128 cards do not have any copy right (CR) info to the right of the cartoon on the back as the Topps counterparts do. A sold copy of a #129 V card I found on ebay does have a CR as the copy I have does.

Hopefully I will avoid accidently including any more in lots. Since I found a 59 V card in a random stack of cards, I have been more careful when going through 59, 60, and 62s looking for these V cards....the dullness of their appearance (at least on the 59 and 60s) have been the give away. Kind of reminds me of looking through 68s for MBs.

[savedfrommyspokes]

Thanks, they would be consistent with 3's....the backs are quite clean.

[JollyElm]

I'm sure everybody now wants to look through their old doubles to see if any Venezuelans linger there. Can someone who is familiar with that issue start a new thread showing us clueless folks how to spot telltale signs of those cards across the years they were issued? Or, if the topic has already been handled around here before, perhaps a link to the thread(s)?

Can someone who is familiar with that issue start a new thread showing us clueless folks how to spot telltale signs of those cards across the years they were issued? Or, if the topic has already been handled around here before, perhaps a link to the thread(s)?

I don't know enough about 1959, 60 and 62 Venz to comment. But 1964, 66 and 68 all say made in Venezuela on the back. 1964 and 66 have a different color back than their American counterparts - 64 is black and 66 is a deep, dark salmon.

Easiest way to tell the 1967's is that they don't have a white border. This is to say that the photo goes right to the edge of the card.

Venezuelans are most easily distinguished in hand. They are thinner, and made of a softer, cheaper stock. There is virtually no gloss. They are more prone to surface damage as well as yellowing or staining.

Very happy with these. My first Exhibit! I have not measured the lettering with a ruler, but from the guides I've looked at I believe this is a 1950 Exhibit. It may not be as nice of a card as his 1950 Bowman...but it's not nearly as expensive either. Hope everyone has a good weekend!

I love Exhibits and that Jackie is awesome!

[jchcollins]

Thanks. I've been looking for a Jackie in mid-grade shape for a while and was really just balking at how expensive his 1950's Topps cards in any kind of condition have become. So this is a double win in that not only do I love this card, I think I have opened myself up to the world of Exhibits finally! They're really cool.

Speaking of Venz, I had a good mail day. Here are my newest Venz additions. The Torre is my favorite of this bunch.

These cards all have condition issues, of course, but the backs are unusually clean for Venies.

I now have 7 cards for the 68 Venz Red Sox team set and 24 total 68 Venies.

Cool Jackie exhibit.

Picked this up at the Philly Show today. It just called out to me from a dealer's bargain box...my first '48 Bowman, my first vintage Johnny Mize.

New to me pick-ups. Thanks Darrin!
