Names
 

Thanks Chris, it beats posting responses to Paws and Bests :-)

Dang BESTDJ777, didnt know you had the same name. Must be popular.:D

Haha, now you will have responses to two guys named Chris.... I prefer Chris to my stupid username anyway (someone hacked my eBay account years ago and changed the name to Best. I just use it now for consistency).

Jim Palmer 1965 TI
 

Yo Phil !

I've refreshed this darn page 57 times to get a glimpse of your most recent pick-up! We want scans! We want scans!! I want to see a card other than Mantle for once!

You're in luck, Derek, the Palmer came in the mail today. Now, just have to scan it. BTW also picked up a 1940's RPPC of Warren Giles.

Start of a New Project
 

Good start to 1952 Num Num set.

Carew actually lives close to me in Southern California. Nice guy and still chews like Nellie Fox. He's always happy to sign an auto for someone which is awesome because I have a couple RCs I might ask him to sign when I go back home :cool:

Num Nums
 

Cool cards Kevin. Too bad you ended up collecting something called num nums :)

Here's the '65 Baltimore team issue Palmer & c1940 RPPC of Warren Giles........

OUTSTANDING!!! Nice work, Phil! If you find another of either, let me know and I will pay you (or anyone) a handsome finder's fee!!

num nums...haha

VERY COOL though...I love those!

Awesome & Random Pickup
 

:DWell I had an interesting day to say the least! I just got home from picking up an array of baseball cards and memorabilia. Got two binders filled cards with years ranging from 1953-1971. There’s about 100+ Post Cereal Cards from 1961-1963 with virtually every star (4 Mantles total I think). Also found a couple Rodeo Meats cards and a Mickey Mantle Exhibit (no outline) hiding in the binders. Got a nice handful of rookies and tons of stars/HOFs. Unfortunately, all the stars from 53-56 have pinholes (like the 55T Williams and Robinson)…

Cards are still gorgeous and I couldn’t be happier!!! There was also a set of 1964 Topps Giants. Lastly, I topped it off with a nice 1st Issue Sports Illustrated and a sweet Jackie Robinson Magazine from 1950 Sport Life. Still digging so I will update more if I find any more awesome stuff!! All in all, great day :D

These are my most notable and worthy of posting.

Just a bunch of nrmt RCs and Hofs. They are all just sharp corners except for 67 Robinson

First Rodeo Meats cards. Interesting. EDIT: just realized Elston Howard slipped in there. I don't know why I was thinking it was Norm Cash....

Even though they are a little roughed up its still my first 55 Williams:)

This is going to get framed. The magazine is just a great piece of history I think. Anyways still have a bunch to go through but this is just some noteworthy things I have found.

Great cards Colby!

Here is my latest pickup:

Agreed, Great haul Colby. Does the Sports Illustrated still have the inserts?

Thanks guys and yes it does have the inserts.

Colby-

Awesome picks! I've enjoyed reading the posts you've made about your finds...good stuff!

'57 Sohio Colavito, and a bunch of Photopack photos from the Strongsville show. Already had some of 'em, but for the price, I couldn't pass..

I like the Colavito!

Thanks. It's got a pinhole, and someone traced over the facsimile. But I've never been very condition sensitive and it was a great price..

One more for the month....

Love that 51 Bowman look...i love my Mantle, betcha you love this one. Great color and just pops at you. VERY NICE INDEED!!!

Muchas gracias, Chris!

Three more to go for the set!

Topps strikeout
 

Right, Al - By '64, Mantle had a tough time catching up to a Gibson heater, was lucky enough to get a hanging knuckler from Schultz. The photog with the long lens in centerfield probably wanted a shot of a shot off Gibson, but didn't want to bother with Schultz.

Don't send in the tabs
 

Great cards from a great set, Kevin. Where'd you find them - eBay?

Num Num's
 

Steve - they came in a private transaction. I don't think I'll be cutting the tabs off:)

coupla ebay pickups... The Giles PC isn't anything special, but I'm pretty excited about the Cepeda.

couple of Bowmans

Like those 49s Ian,
i stopped building sets years ago, but for whatever reason i'm now working

Here is the pics of my sub:

The FexEd service...was horrible..The condition of the package was all torn up.
Almost where the popcorn would come out, and on 2 corners. What the heck do these carriers do???? I expect better service.
Thankful SGC securely bubblewrap their holders, but did notice a minor crack towards the upper mid side(backside) and the bottom, where heated or whatever together, looked kind of crappy to me...needless to say it looks good.

And the other 2 cards i sent it.
Keeping in mind, they changed the description on the Babe Ruth.
and got a lower than expected grade on the Namath RC.

Nice Chris!

but i choosen a different direction.
Wonderful card, especially a 7..NICE!

thanks guys :)

I just picked these up

54 Mays white stripe variant
 

Not hard to find on ebay


http://i1267.photobucket.com/albums/...psa13ee72c.jpg

Ok, forgive my ignorance, Al, but is the variance part of the card that I'm missing, or the white "line" on Mays' arm?

Beautiful cards, Steve! :)

Yes. the white 'band" on his arm in the action insert is a print defect, but a recurring one
