These are eye appeal upgrades.

Our forum members look like they are having a great month picking wonderful cards up.
This was a National pick up that didn't make the thread show yet... |

From the last Huggins & Scott auction. Glad to come away with one card I needed, some of the prices were pretty strong, I presume because of the front/back combinations. A PSA 8 #83 Paul Waner with a blue back went for $7800 while a PSA 8 with a green back went for $1050 in April.
I do collect front variations (e.g., Greenberg/Greenburg) but not the same front with different back color and year combinations. It's hard enough getting one of each card! |

A collector can never have too many Kottons. This one back from my first collection.

How bad was the buyback Leon? 3X?

Bought back for 1166, almost exactly 10 yrs later from the original buyer..., not a bad deal. So, about 2x...which is less than I have bought back most of the other first collection cards for....I am happy. . |

Fantastic card Leon. - |

I don't collect them, but I love that notebook cover.

I’m not a graded card collector but always wanted this particular Mantle. To my untrained eye though, this card seems much better than its grade. Any idea what brought it down?

Nice card!! What's with the ink or print dot on right side back?? Perhaps that's the deduction in grade?

Is that a print dot or maybe a piece of the gasket overlapping the card, which sometimes happens with SGC?

I love the 56 card. Yours is very nice for the grade. Top to bottom centering and maybe some surface wear & touched corners brought it down a bit. Who knows. Yours has great eye appeal. Congrats on the purchase!! |

Andy,
That’s an awesome Rube notebook cover! I really love the look of those and that one of the most eye catching ones I’ve ever seen. I’m going to have to break down and get one at some point. Throat would look great on the shelf. Congrats, Bob |

I'd been waiting for this card to pop up on Net54 for about a year — many thanks to David for helping me bring it home!
|
This beauty arrived yesterday. This is my first 51 Bowman Mays…

Been consolidating some cards to go after a card I have wanted for years. Decided I better pull the trigger before it gets out of reach. Thrilled to add it to the pile.

Mic drop addition Dean!
What a card! Congrats’ |

Awesome CJ Dean, congrats.

Congrats Dean on the nice 1915 Cracker Jack of Matty. I always found it interesting that the Cracker Jack folk made it appear on this card that Matty was about 20 years old (he would have been 34+ years old when this card was released), looking as young as does in the Carl Horner photo from the beginning of his career that was auctioned off last year. I wonder if they used a youthful photo of him to create the artwork, or perhaps they just wanted him to forever be the golden boy.

Thanks Phil and Brian.
Yeah, Matty had definitely declined when this card was issued. Sure glad they used the photo they did. Made for an instant classic. |

Better quit while you’re ahead, Rob. Collecting any more Mays rookies after that one will be anticlimactic.

This weeks haul for September……..and I finally got a beautiful T206 Mathewson Portrait…….all I need is the white cap one. For a Grade 1 , this card presents well, great color, my photo here does not do it justice. BIG shout out to Evan Kendall on the Matty. He made this happen for a price I could afford Thanks Evan!
Best of luck to all on the REA and Heritage auctions ending Sunday……..lots of great cards being offered. |

Kind of beat up but it's a scarce 1947 Bond Bread Premium.

New Pickup, Curious if anyone knows why these are considered 1933. Mickey Cochrane wasn't a Tiger until 1934.
