December Pick ups

[gemmint77]

Very Nice Koufax RC.

[KingFisk]

Finally snared one of these....my HOF rookie card collection nears completion....still some big tickets to snare but really happy to cross this one off, especially without too much of the print weirdness you often see.

Okay, that's a decent enough card, but I'm waiting on you to show us the elusive Pendleton RC.

Give me time, my friend. I am working on it.

I have not bought anything since JUNE, and eager to show off my 2 new additions:

This technically was done last week, and a HUGE thanks to board member Kmas55 for a great transaction. Was wonderful to negotiate a deal to work for both of us.
Here it is, the modern day white whale:





And this new COBB bat off to go with my red & green.
Will be looking for a nice 'bat on' to complete my 4 Cobb run here.

[Jdoggs]

Cool Cobb.

[Bestdj777]

Great stuff Chris! That Cobb is one of my favorites.

[jb67]

Chris, those are some sweet additions to the collection. Nothing like landing a white whale. Congrats.

[KingFisk]

Some fine pickups all around to start the month!

Nice cards James!!!! Do you have that '55 Clemente in a 7 yet? If so, let's have a look!

Nice card Chris. I had talked to Chris as he was thinking about picking that one up and decided to get one for myself. Along with the less rare blue version. I thought the picture would be better but have been having computer issues.

Thanks guys, This orange cal is something else. From what i understand theres only 16 graded by PSA (1=8, 1=7, 4=6, 3=5, 2=4, 3=3, 1=2, 1=1) so i did get the lowest graded, most affordable one.
from a July,2,2013 source, there was only 21 TOTAL (14 psa, 4 sgc, 3 bgs)

BTW Jesse: I saw those, and those were a STEAL!!!
Here is a better pic image for ya bro:

I never knew about this. Is there a story to it?

Will be a while before I can add that one. Will keep updating as I add new PSA 7's to the collection. Thanks

[gemmint77]

My very first Cobb. Enjoying this card a lot!!

[pawpawdiv9]

@Gemmint: Nice Cobb you got there! Any plans on a greenie? or bat version

Sweet pick ups! Those are such nice looking cards, and Rob Fitts is great to deal with. Pretty sure I got my Menko Doyusha Oh from him. Picked these ones up last month, the Oh coming from him as well.

@pawpawdiv9 I would love to add a Green Cobb to the collection!! Wouldn't we all?? But that will have to wait. I am slowly working on the T206 set, basic Mantle run & PSA 7 Clemente collection. Thanks for the comments.
