Two great pickup Ian. That Pip. centering is amazing.

Thanks, David
I've enjoyed branching out from baseball a little.

Couple of nice true RC's in recently.

Taking it back to funky town:

Cricket woodcut print
 

Not a cricket card, but a fun recent acquisition:

Here are a couple new ones

A friend got my 1971-72 VA Squires TI Dr. J signed for me today:

I'm pretty stoked.

I was saving up for National but when this showed up on the bay I hit the buy it now pretty quick. Listed as a 1947 program, which it is. But there is a big difference between 46-47 and 47-48 and this is 46-47. Then the listed signature Chuck Connors. It is personalized so a nick for that. But there are 2 other signatures Nat Clifton and Harry Gallatin. Both Hall of famers and Knicks but both played later than 46-47. I wondered why they were on cover. When I hit Nat Clufton stats I saw the thread that connects these three. All 3 played pro baseball as well as Pro Basketball. So a nice group. On top of that Connors played in the game 1/18/47. The Rifleman only played in about 50 games over 2 seasons 46-48. So a signed program from a game he played is nice.

Really nice program Attachment 528712

Thanks .. I always enjoy when I see another collectors focus in an item. It looks like Barry put some effort into obtaining these signatures. I hope wherever he is he knows it it appreciated and that I will do my best to pass it along to someone else who appreciates it down the road.

From a board member, a very clean 1986 Mercante David Robinson.

My first CSG slab, and color me impressed. Clean label. Case seems solid. And it's a neat look how the area around the borders of the card is transparent.

Nice card, Ian! I have yet to get my hands on one of their new slabs.

I picked up another 1988 Fleer HOF.

1948 Bowman #58 Arnie Risen HOF RC. I searched for this card at this years National but didn't see even one. Ebay auction starting price $100 and I brought it home for $102.50 plus tax plus shipping $114.76 an expensive card but the next to last card I need for the set. The last needed card #69 George Mikan rookie will have to be a reprint.

Larry - You didn't go for this one ?

The days of a Mikan RC under $1,000 are long gone!

Another 86 Merchante.

Here are a couple of mine. I think if Allen would put on about 25 pounds he could really dominate the rim.

Picked up this 1984 Star Jordan Rookie Of the Year card, thanks to Phil for another smooth "54" transaction. Would really like to add the 84 Star # 101 but just to far out of reach. Keep them coming boys......

Nice Jordan. I might be able to hook you up on the 101.

Pistol Pete Day.

Bailey Howell's unusual rebounding style.

Nice STAR!! (been trying to sell my PSA 6)
Maybe these will pick back up as we near the holidays

What are you asking for your 6?

sending you a PM.

He looks tired, must have been sleeping at Wendy's way back then.

A couple of all-time greats

What? no Britany Griners ( Russian version)

I should probably add a card of hers next!

One of the greatest PG ever, and somehow still feels a bit underrated. I'm really hoping he gets a ring before he retires.

101>>>>>>>86 Fleer 3rd year card.

I've been working on a Topps basketball run from 69-81. Just got this lot in yesterday.

Finished a subset and added a couple of WNBA.

is this also going to happen to Topps Chrome baseball from 1996 or 1997?

Good stuff, Peter - Love that A'ja Wilson

People forget how short LeBron was coming out of high school.

:D:D

Finally landed a Dr. J:

Sweet card!

Great card!

Thanks, guys. I've been after a Dr. J for a while. Always liked the 81 Topps, especially with it being his MVP season.

Some great cards! I really like that Maravich Icee, I am putting that one on my Christmas list.

Here are Wilt and Kareem on the same card:

I thought this one was interesting:

1964 Bobbie Olympics. #5 for the USA that year was none other than HOFer Bill Bradley, so this is one of his first cards.
