April pickups
Just picked this up today at a local flea market...

Congrats John!!! Now that is an incredible pick-up. Why can't I ever find items like that at the flea market? I didn't even know that the Post cards were issued in singles, I always thought they were issued like this (or in perforated sheet form)...
Great pick-up! Mike Last edited by docpatlv; 04-01-2011 at 06:33 PM. |

The Post cards came in sheets or on boxes, which are a thicker stock. They generally came in 5 or 7 card panels on the back of boxes (like yours). The closely related Jello cards came individually on the smaller Jello boxes, but I have never seen a small snack-size Post box before. A great pick-up!

What a great Aaron box!
I've seen two or three others, all of them Alpha Bits. There was a Koufax that sold in the Legendary Bill Mastro collection auction in December. Greg http://www.baseballbasement.com |

Thanks. But it wasn't cheap and I originally decided to pass on it. In fact I was already out the door and half way to my car when I had a change of heart. I collect Milwaukee Braves cards and I knew I'd never seen another one, and probably wouldn't ever see one again, so I decided to go for it. Even though my box is empty, I'm glad my wife decided to give me the go-ahead especially after seeing how much the Koufax went for.

Finally decided to go after the '52 set. Here's my 1st pickup for the set (and a possible resubmit for a bump?). Three guesses where I bought it!

Nice pick up Brandon!
I picked up this '52 Jackie this week to complete my '52-56 Jackie run. The creases are not as bad in person as the scans suggest, but it's still no where near the condition of your Mays. I can certainly understand why you'd want to pursue this set. Good luck! Regards, Richard. |

Wow - love that Aaron cereal box, what a cool find !
The '52 Mays looks really nice for a 4. |

Getting close to only 100 more needed for my 1954 Topps set...

Great pickup Rob. I almost pulled the trigger on that one. It looks like a real nice card for the grade, and you really couldn't beat the price. Congrats.

Don't laugh now, but I'm gonna undershine all the other Robby's here. This one's definitely destined for an upgrade, but it'll be well loved amongst my other beaters for now. It honestly makes me wish I would've pulled the trigger on the other one even more. But I can't complain about the price either. Pat nice pickup BTW, that is one beautiful Robby.

That my friend is one beautiful Aaron! Its got to be way undergraded! Is there back damage because it should at least be an PSA 8.5 or higher!

I agree, that's a beautiful card. Nearly perfect centering. Can't figure out what gave it such a low grade except it kinda looks like maybe there's some minor surface scuffing? but then that could just be the scanner too

Stunning cards, guys!
I've started to put together Cardinal team sets from 1960 and back. I know it's a common but I got this one in today and I can't stop staring at it. The card has a flawless picture and great centering. The lint spots you see are from my scanner. I tried to clean it but apparently I suck. LOL It was PSA graded but I cracked it out. Any guesses on the grade?

PSA 8? Maybe because of the one fuzzy corner. Great colors and image on that card, love it!

Bucket List Card...
Thanks to SCMAVL (Jarrod) on the board for cutting me a nice deal on a card I've long wanted to add to my collection...we'll see how the "gods" at SGC treat me with this one...fingers crossed! Despite a light crease in the upper corner, I was blown away by the centering which has become my primary concern when buying cards. Thanks again, Jarrod!

After focusing on pre-war for the past 8+ years I'm really enjoying these mid-grade 50's with great eye appeal again. Cards like this just blow me away and they are so much easier on the budget too. Here is the back |

That's an interesting panel. Two first rate broadcasters, and Lou Brock! The Cub fan in me often wonders what would have happened if we had kept that speed demon around.

After being away from the hobby for 15+ years, I received my first mail day today...
Now if only I could find a '47 Bond Bread Jackie Robinson with the rounded corners, and a '51 Whitey Ford Bowman 5 or better at a nice price. |

One of the worst trades
Yeah, 1969 NL pennant for sure, maybe a couple more that the Cards would not have won. But, at least they got a lot of use out of Ernie Broglio...man!

Welcome back. Nice pick-ups!!! BTW, I was away from the hobby for 15 years and in 2006 I made my first new purchase, a Koufax RC PSA 4. Looks like you're looking for HOF RC's??
