September Pickups
I will start off the month with my latest pickup; 1952
Topps Ed Mathews and the nicest PSA 1 you'll ever see. Thanks Doug C [for the card]. http://www.net54baseball.com/picture...pictureid=4525 |

Awesome Mathews! I am glad to see all the HOF RC guys chime in!! :)
|
So far this month, this is about all I've gotten...
Guess who is busting a CASE of 1991 Score to try and get a Mantle auto card? http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...ne/chipper.jpg There are tons more Chippers, I just grabbed a handful for the photo. I'm about 2/3 of the way through the case... No Mantle yet. |
More Hanks added to the collection

1954-1956 Spic and Span Lou Burdette and Hank Aaron. Really excited about the Aaron. It would grade a poor, but it's a very hard card to find.
Attachment 45153 1955 Hank Aaron double header. Love this series! Attachment 45154 The prettiest "good" card I've seen. Attachment 45155 |
That '55 Aaron looks mighty good for a 2, Scott!
|
I just got it in the mail today and when I opened up the envelope and pulled it out, I couldn't believe how nice it was. I won it off Ebay, and the it looked good on there, but you really never know until it is in your hand. It does have a small crease on the back that is only apparent when the card is looked at from an angle.
|
picked this one up. Plugs the biggest hole in my 52 Tribe set.

Thats how good the Mathews is; it gets compliments for the seller and maybe the buyer.
|
the centering on that Mathews is amazing!

I'm pretty much tapped out on modern rookies, so I toil with obscure/odd variations from time to time. Finally got around to picking up a 1990 Topps glossy rookies Griffey with the test strip, and a 1989 Upper Deck Dick Schoefield with Griffey Jr. rear overprint...

Jackie Robinson upgrade and new addition (thanks for the lead Shaun)
|
Nice pickups Dan! That Portrait was definitely a nice upgrade.
|
Just got this gem from Judgebuck to go along with my other Mantles.

Congrats, lets see your Mathews. If you do post it do I get congratulated? As far as the scan goes, I see it in every post thats says "I can't see the scan"--weird? And yes it is a 1953 Mickey Mantle PSA 1 but a nice one!
|
That's the nicest PSA 1 I've seen!

Thats strange, but yes it is the one in my photo album. It has great centering just like the Mathews but it has a small pinhole which doesn't bug me too much.

Just got these back from SGC. Pretty pumped. Pujols is the only modern player I collect. I know that they are not really vintage but at least the ozzie is close :)

Pujols
Will he be in a new uniform next year ?
|
I sure hope not. It would be cool if he finished his career with St. Louis. Just like Musial

But, he's welcome at Chavez Ravine, if he has any interest in working for a parking lot attendant and his ex-wife. Doug |
Got this out of one of those generic after-market packages at Target...not a bad pull:

Very nice! I think that is one of Mantle's best card, the picture is timeless.

That Eck is super nice for a "7", should at least an "8". Nice pickups.
|
The Rice rookie looks great too!

Pretty slow month, but picked this up for the Lou Brock collection.
I'm not sure exactly what this is, it is about half the thickness of the regular 70 Supers, and has square corners. |
The Brock is a '70 Topps Super #11 proof card.
|
I've got another square cornered 70 Brock, but it is normal thickness and has the back on it.

Matthews
What a beautiful Matthews card you picked up. Congrats on a tough card.
I have been kind of on the sidelines as of late churning through my collection with a slight change of focus toward high end Post War HOF RC's. Although not a rookie card, the deal on this was to good for me to pass, up on a card I have wanted for quite a long time. Can't say that I am a very big Mantle collector, but really enjoy having this card in my collection. http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/c...MantlePSA7.jpg |
^ That is some nice centering and vivid colors!
|
New Arrival
Just arrived today! Nice addition to my Post War RC's set.

Beautiful Carew Rookie, Matt!
|
Wow, great card Matt!

The Man
Picked this one up this week for my 1960 Topps SGC 84 NM or higher team set

Really happy about these additions...
1947 Bond Bread Jackie Robinson Leaping No Scoreboard (Total Pop 5 - Lowest Pop in the Bond Bread set - 1 of the Throwing cards is incorrectly listed as a Leaping No Scoreboard causing the discrepancy in the pop listings) http://i1204.photobucket.com/albums/...Scoreboard.jpg 1955 Topps Doubleheader Jackie Robinson (scored this for $150 below VCP) http://i1204.photobucket.com/albums/...e-Robinson.jpg I now have 3 of the toughest 4 cards in the 1947 Bond Bread Jackie Robinson set (Glove In the Air, Batting No Sleeves, and Leaping No Scoreboard) - Hoping I can complete this set by the end of next year. |

Very nice, Brian

I couldn't resist the pack-fresh qualities of this card at a psa 6 price...
http://i434.photobucket.com/albums/q...ementepsa6.jpg |
Saw Patrick list this in BST and couldn't resist
