Detours from the RC thing.

Spaeth Your A Buying Machine!
 

Two nicely centered Hofers. Nicely done.
The 62 Mantle is really nice. Better than some eights I have seen.

I can't keep up with guys like you buying the big cards like high grade Dan Dee Mantles. Just picking up some scraps you leave behind.

sweet pickups fellas!

The Paige is a classic, imo

Nothing too exciting except for me...down to 11 more to go for my 1963 Topps set. Getting super excited to finish such an iconic set...

Glad I pulled the trigger on this well centered one.

Very nice Gibson rookie. Congrats!
Drew

Picked this up at the show in Plano that Rich puts on.

Thanks Drew !

Just got this in the mail today!

This card is beyond awesome!
But the baggie really sucks. I hate the PSA holdering of cards with the baggie.

I'll say again; Amazing Mantle; Congrats.

I've never really given this much thought. What is the reasoning behind the baggie?

Not sure on the Mylar Baggie. Not a fan of it either. Just spitballing, could it be since there might be oil from the potato chips still on/in the card?

Nice one Johnny!!

When they don't have a holder that precisely fits the card, it keeps it (supposedly) from moving around.

Mike, that's a terrific Hammer!!

1972 Milton Bradley sheet with Lou Brock.

I wanted to get in on the latest rookie card craze. I guess this would be a considered Musial's rookie card if it's 1947.

Latest Pick-Up
 

New to the rookie collection...

Jenkins
 

Todd,

Now that is a nice baseball card!

Nice Jenkins, I was looking at both 7s and 8s and musta missed that one!!

Another detour from rookie cards, no big deal but looked a long time for a nice one.

Pick-Up
 

Thanks, guys. I caught the auction with about a minute left and thought "man, what a great looking card." Decided to throw in a bid in the last few seconds and won it.

As usual - great pick-ups, everyone!

Todd

I just purchased a PSA 3 through the Make a Offer listing and luckily it was accepted.

Been wanting one a while, but never really followed my heart until I seen your P/U. :)

Love the Red Man cards and that Yogi is stellar!

Raleigh show today.

I've been out of the game for a while, but I went to Mark Macrae's show today and bang!!! I negotiated like a fiend and knocked three extremely tough cards off of my need list at a great price and I am psyched!!!!

Plus, I picked up a ridiculously nicely centered 1972 Aaron IA, and it's the 'variation' with the red/orange streak running through it, so I have that going for me, which is nice…

Great job! Four great cards. And yep, that Aaron IA is almost always way O/C.

Great cards guys, 68 Ryan Koosman rookie is really nice. Thanks again for sharing all your cards.

Back to the RC thing.

That Williams is a beautiful card

Nothing
 

Nothing major, but I like it:

I own the Topps version of that LL card in the same grade, but would much rather have your OPC version!

Three more for my Aaron run. The two Brewers team cards are hand cut from sheets (mail in offer from Topps). Although Aaron retired in 1976, he appears on the 1977 team card - top row, fifth from left.

A few random adds.

The Hostess is for a tweak to my Aaron display. I decided to pull out the five 1974 "Hank Aaron Special" cards as too redundant with his "real" cards.

This Collins, courtesy of B/S/T, is one of two no doubt HOFers in 1933 Goudey as managers/execs. Speaker is the other.

And here is one of my favorite Aaron magazines. I was able to upgrade from one with a mailing label and loose spine to this NM edition.

Just arrived today. I've been looking for one for quite a while.

Beautiful RC...wow!! And here's yet another Hank. Notice the Braves jersey and Brewers hat!

Seaver RC Mail day

http://i1056.photobucket.com/albums/...psbgqwmr8s.jpg

I like these types of cards too. :)

Thanks Jason, looks like you picked up what I would assume are a couple of pretty rare Aarons. Nice cards.

Part of a very large collection I recently picked up.
Don't know why, but this '53 Mick makes me smile :)
I think I'll keep him.

1963 Post cereal mini pennant

with rookie cards all weird these days...I finally added a jackson rookie to my stable.

I totally agree about that card...mine makes me smile too!!!!

Perfectly centered goodness
 

Picked this up at a card show from a dealer friend a week or so ago.
Definitely the most impulsive card purchase I've made, but that centering... crazy!
I don't regret it, but I also need to be saving for the National. Seriously thinking about consigning it. It's more card than I can handle! :D

Nice Rose! and sweet looking Reggie rookie too.

Picked this up yesterday during an eBay Bucks Flash Sale.
My first Jackie.

Seaver RC
 

Can't let a Seaver RC go by without throwing out a congrats! I built that set and know how tough that card is.
