For my intro post, a trio of 2s
 
Been lurking these boards for some time now educating myself on the vintage baseball card market. The best thing I learned... there few and far between opportunities to take advantage of certain aspects of technical grading.

Welcome to the boards. Great trio there. No doubt low grade high eye appeal cards are great treasures.

Thanks bud yes I was pretty excited when these opportunities came about. When I was a youngster I always dreamed of simply owning a T206, any really, much less a Cobb. The vintage card market is much more exciting than I had given credit. The knowledge around these parts is pretty incredible, looking forward to joining in on the fun.

Welcome! Nice centering on the Mantle, too.

Nice cards. You just need a 1933 Goudey Babe Ruth to go with those three.

rainmaker 03-05-2018 01:16 PM

Thanks fellas. Yes 33 Ruth and Johnson portrait are where my sights are currently set. Cant wait to find the perfect specimen!

That was my first thought as well. :)

That Mantle is awesome; tremendous centering, not many like that. Congrats.

Nice. That’s a start? Great start!

rainmaker 03-06-2018 09:15 AM

Yep first 3 pre MJ 1986 fleer cards I have acquired are these.

Here is a single shot of the 52 Mantle. The centering is essentially perfect 50/50. When the opportunity to acquire this came to me I felt I had to jump on it.
