Yeah, COMC can be frustrating at times, but when you can buy all kinds of sports and nonsports cards, it's pretty amazing.
I do have to return one of the cards from my order that looked much better in the picture than what I received. But I emailed them and they've already told me they'll accept the return no problem and reimburse me the shipping back to them.
Plus, I now have about 20K cards for sale on site with another 10,000 to price/list that I just picked up in port sales. No way could/would I do that if COMC wasn't a thing.

Some recent additions for my 52 Topps collection.

Thanks, Jason and Dale. Had a cool conversation with my daughter, a budding artist, about cards today. Looked at some Robinson cards online together. An awesome unintended consequence.

Knocked another tough card off of my 1961 need list…
276035
Someone from another thread was saying they were also looking for a Friend.
I had my eye on this one, (and was hoping they didn't) and a couple others and I am glad to say I got it. :D
It wasn't cheap, $25 and change, (Philley was $22+) but I couldn't let it go as it was a tough one to get and one I needed.
Bidding was ferocious on these 2 cards, which I luckily won, but one that I also needed, unfortunately got away.
Edit: Removed my listing pics and added the real ones as the cards arrived today. I must say, for me, these are some of the nicest 52 Topps I have purchased. They look real nice in hand.
Also, while I purchased the 52's, I decided to grab this multi-player card of Koufax, Juan Marichal, and Vern Law from the same seller for under $5.00 bucks. I like these multi-player cards and this one was priced too well, imo, to let it slide.

06-17-2017, 08:37 PM
I grabbed up two more of these guys…

And at a show today I picked up a tough 1959 high number and a pretty sweet 1969 Perry white letter variation. And Campy?? Well, I don't collect the set and he's in rough shape, but look at the discount i got!!!!

Darren,
Nice additions. Love the Campy. My '52 low number set is pretty much in that condition. Can get great deals on well-loved cards.
The Greatest Moments set is very cool. The Reggie Jackson is one of my white whales for my RJ player set.

Took my player collecting into O-Pee-Chee. Had resisted for a little while, because the cards are identical (almost) to the Topps cards, but I really like these, mainly for the centering/looks for the grade.

Thanks - Maris is one of my favorites and I find him really under-appreciated.
He also has a ton of great looking cards in his Topps issues - '58, '60, '61, '62, '65, 66, '67 - those are just a few of my favorites!
Thx !

Nice cards!
Maybe I'm wrong, but aren't O-Pee-Chee's a little tougher to find and therefore also more valuable? I know this is the case with some Hockey cards but I'm not 100% sure with baseball however?

I am psyched to knock this tough HOF'er off of my ever-diminishing 1961 need list. I used the $15 off coupon code to grab it up...
278030
The centering on back is most likely the reason for the O/C qualifier (And I couldn't care less!! Woo hoo!!), but if you look on ebay, the front is centered better than a heckuva lot of NQ cards. Love it!!
Shoebox
06-27-2017, 03:36 PM

The correct answer is one of the first "Collector Issues" made for sale within the hobby.
1969 Rocco Malanga New York Yankees "Team Issue"
Rocco Malanga was an amateur artist and I believe he made these available in the state I showed earlier (4 strips of 3 cards). I had known about them for years but had never actually seen a set available.

....just added the Con Dempsey and Karl Drews ; I can't get a clear scan of the Drews because of the Beckett brick he's in but he looks scary enough even with a slight blur ......his '53 Bowman Color is equally off-putting.....the uniforms and caps of the Phillies make for some very eye-candy 1952 Topps cards....
...I could never financially justify finishing even the base set of '52's but it's fun to pick and choose something inside the set that captures your fancy....
...
