Didn't see one yet, so I decided to kick it off with this 1955 Spic And Span Hammer.

Great card Todd! I hadn't seen the die-cuts before.

I took a gamble on this card late last week from an eBay seller who appeared to do more business in antiques and toys than cards - it helped that they accepted my offer which was $55 lower than the BIN with no negotiating. Sometimes you gamble and win, because this thing arrived today and is way nicer than I was expecting. Dare I even say “minty”...[emoji4]

Just got one of my dream cards in the mail today.:D Now if I could get that BLEEPING SGC submission form to work I could send it off to get protected in their lovely slab.

Not my standard HOF-only collection but I have always wanted this card. I like that it commemorates his main contribution to the sport. Its all there in the eyes.
"As a ballplayer, I would be delighted to do it again. As an individual, I doubt if I could possibly go through it again." |

I had so much fun writing about this man and his cards for my latest SABR blog that I had to pick up a nicer looking RC!

This card has no purpose in my collection other than I always wanted a Retirado.

It's been a while since I added a card to my collection. I have always wanted one of these and was finally able find a decent one that fit my budget.

That Mantle is beautiful

Pure nostalgia here. I loved buying these with the gum when I was 9.
1979 Topps Comics complete set. Somehow this batch has no fold lines.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...ef0f03c4f4.jpg Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-J327A using Tapatalk |

Very nice, and good job on the T/B centering. It’s hard to find that card even in high grade where it’s not almost miscut in that direction. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |
The ‘72s are my favorite 70’s set. Some of the cards have color combos that just really pop - and this is one of them:

Today’s LCS visit resulted in this ‘72, to my knowledge the first Thurman Munson card I’ve ever deliberately bought. I have a few others from over the years that I somehow acquired in group lots or something. Shame he is not the Hall of Fame...

Using the ebay coupon, I ended up grabbing this awesome 1969 Topps #500 Mickey Mantle White Letter Variation for less than a third of what the last couple of straight 6's sold for. The dreaded 'miscut' is on the back and it is slight, so I find it virtually meaningless...

That's a nice WL Mantle indeed.

Nice p/u's Irv....each p/u inches us both closer to the completion of this 52 set. Added this 52 SMOKY to my set...down to 21 Hi#s to go for completion. |
Mike D, great 61 Yaz! I’m a life long collector of Yaz cards and other ephemera. Also saw you’re in RI, which is where I grew up. Drop me a PM if you wish.

While my primary collection is Clemente - I have a love of the rare and something about the Bazooka complete boxes has me kinda collecting them too. Super excited to add this only known 1962 Mays example to my collection.

Here's another beautiful card that is technically/mathematically off-centered (the back is centered nearly perfectly), but if I was around in the summer of '62, chewing a huge wad of gum, and broke this 'Stan the Man' out of a pack, it never would've entered my mind that it was 'flawed.' And I got it for a fraction of the cost of a straight 9...
