July Pickups

[dclarkraiders]

Found this in the mail when I got home from work today. I've wanted this card for a while and I finally found one with the centering I wanted at a great price.

[pokerplyr80]

Awesome card, nice way to start out the month. One of my personal favorites.

[toppcat]

Wow that Reese is superb. Jelly.

[Shoebox]

Great pick up on that Reese!

[jbl79]

Classic image on that Reese. Congrats on the pickup!

[Canofcorn]

Picked up some raw beauties from my new friend Jason, aka ZiggerZagger.

Nice looking card with great centering. That is one of my favorite action shots. One of my pickups for the month was this 1975 Hostess Twinkies Yount Proof. This is the only Proof I have seen.

I had a pile of Joe Torre stuff in my baseball room; and my buddy was sending some cards in, so I finally got off my duff and sent them in.

They finally arrived yesterday. Added some key gems to my Torre PSA collection, including a '68 Venezuela, and a Jell-o or two. The only letdown was that I missed a pinhole in my other Venezuela, so it came in a low grade. But a couple of cards came in as the highest graded examples, so I was ok with that!

[DBesse27]

Nice Torre collection! Underrated player. My favorite of your cards is the 68 Venezuelan. I'm chipping away at that set and have a raw Torre I'll be subbing soon as part of a group from that set.

What makes it a proof over a 4 card panel cut from a sheet?

It definitely gives a feeling of being at the park (to me, at least.)

[vintagebaseballcardguy]

That Hodges is one of my favorite cards ever!

nice!

[Robs70sCards]

Just some more 70's cards, this time filling out some of the better players and some more commons for my 1969 and 1972 sets. Once I get #560 of the 72 set I'll every card up to #657 and then I just need 54 various high numbers. Still have a little ways to go with the 1969 (73 cards remaining), but the series are pretty well represented, unlike the other years for whatever reason.

[DeanH3]

PWCC win last night.

[jason.1969]

From the B/S/T. I already have the matching Williams and a mini-display in mind.

[Robs70sCards]

I would love to pick up a Joe DiMaggio. Hope it's ok to ask, but what does one cost in less than perfect condition?

My grandmother's sister was married to one of the DiMaggio boys who didn't play ball, and my Dad's family and the DiMaggio came from the same town, Isolla delle Faminne. My grandfather and Joe's father were all fishermen.

[jason.1969]

The one above cost me $40. Note that the Exhibits issues are postcard size and not viewed in the same league as for instance 41 Play Ball!

My "main" Joe D is a 1939 PB that cost me about $400.

That's awesome to be a relative of Joe D! Just remembered we had a thread here on the most affordable DiMaggio cards...

1961 Golden Press Dimaggio

[jason.1969]

And following the thread's suggestion of a Berk Ross, here is Joe D's last card (1952) in decent shape for only $100. (N54 gents with keener eyes can advise if they believe it is authentic...I vote Yes.)

Look at this on eBay http://www.ebay.com/itm/391502597884

I love Exhibits and don't own any playing era Joe DiMaggio cards yet, so I'm drooling over that one!

[KCRfan1]

Jason, give us a picture of the display when you have it set up!!!

Will do. But don't set the expectations TOO high! Half the N54 displays I've seen belong in the HOF. Mine will just be a slight upgrade to my office.

[Neal]

Finding an Ashburn was actually a challenge .... now I may want to start a nice PSA midgrade set

[jason.1969]

The red really held its color. Terrific card!

Thanks fellas - I once attempted this set, and had them all in SGC 84 to 88. The red series (especially Ashburn and Musial) were tough to find at my price point and generally did not have the centering I wanted.

The issue has some heavy stock, so mid grade seems to present much better than other issues. Owning a Mantle already, I may try this for the second time. Beautiful, affordable, and most importantly to me, a nice small set.

[jason.1969]

If I remember right, a N54 member made an incredible framed display of the entire set. Of the minor releases of the era, I just love this one and Dan Dee. I don't have any of either but maybe someday...

That Ashburn is beautiful. I added these two Mid grade rookies to my collection this month.

[DBesse27]

I concur that the red hearts are a great set, and the red really pops on your ashburn!

will have to check past threads - would love to see that!

1954 had some outstanding regional issues - Dan Dee, Red Heart, Wilson Franks, Spic and Span and Johnston Cookies

[DBesse27]

Oh yeah, Wilson and Johnston were great sets too, good call!

[ColumbiaComics]

Managed to pick up this decent card over the weekend...

[ColumbiaComics]

This one too

Here is mine I finished last year. Not sure if this is the "incredible display" you're referring to but I do like showing it off. If it is then thank you, if it's not then just keep on scrolling past it.

[Beatles Guy]

Two HOF rookie cards from PWCC...



...and finally a centered Molitor rookie with no smudge at the bottom...

[DBesse27]

Don't you mean the Trammell rookie?

[Neal]

Nice pickups, fellas!
