Wow!!! That card looks great. Congrats on landing a sweet Aaron card. No way that is a PSA 6 according to my grading scale.

Came home today to find my SGC package waiting on the table!!!!!!!!!!

I love foreign issues and that DiMaggio is TERRIFIC!!

Thanks, Bob. I like it too, and it was under $10 bucks to boot! :)

Another lowered graded card that looks better than my higher graded one.(Below) It really makes me wonder at times if they really know what they are doing over at PSA?

Thanks Neal. :)

Always wanted this card since seeing it in the Sandlot movie as a kid!

Nice P/U's guys!

Aaron's RC has been high on my want list now for a while, but I doubt I will ever get one at this point?

Got this Bill Lee card back in the last week for my 1974 Topps Red Sox team set. Asked for him to sign it Bill "Spaceman" Lee and he did. Happy with how this turned out.

This now makes 7 autos in my team set: Carbo, Tiant, Petrocelli, Tommy Harper, Cecil Cooper, Aparicio and Lee. Sending cards by the end of the year to signings by Cepeda, Yaz and Diego Segui.

Dan- I saw the new documentary/movie "Spaceman" at the Hall of Fame Film Festival a couple of weeks ago. While it is R rated it is very well done. Leaves you shaking your head when it is over. Amazing talent, just never had all the bolts tight.

The number of exclamation marks is justified!!

Great Jackie pieces, Shaun. I have really gotten into his stuff in the last year or so. Picked up this one recently:

...turned these in at the recent Valley Forge/Fort Washington show as part of the 'free grading for joining' special deal

..what ever happened to PSA's "half-grades" ? All fifteen cards came back with straight solid number grades....what are the odds of that ??


...I was actually expecting two "PSA 9" grades out of the fifteen subs but I guess I missed something somewhere..

..

Nice cards. If you check PSA pop reports half grades are pretty rare. This is a total guess, but I would put the odds of all 15 cards coming back with no half grades at about 2 to 1, a 50% chance. It wouldn't surprise me though if that percentage was even higher.

Thanks, and very nice pickup as well. Jackie has a lot of great cards.

Rocky likes his chew!

Nice Swell Jackie and I've always loved the greatest moments set.

Jim--- 'Ol Zim looks like he's thinking, "Will that idiot photographer ever snap the picture?!? For cryin' out loud---I'VE GOTTA SPIT!;)

another postwar card added this month that I've wanted for quite a while...

An inadvertent by product of set collecting is the fact you end up with all the base Topps cards of HOF and regular players. As I close in on my latest 1965 set, I am completing base player sets. This Pete Rose marks the first time I have ever had all the Topps Base cards for him. Kinda cool...

On the morning after the Cubs go to the World Series I present Mr. Cub!

nice pickups fellas!
Love the Banks Ray!

Awesome Banks, Ray, and great timing!

Great Podres. The one I have seems really faded, but the color on yours is fantastic!

Big fan of that 59 Banks

Really pleased with this card. Thought I would share it here.

Another questionable grade, (imo) but another cheap addition to my 52 Topps collection. :)

Nice card Dale. How many are you up to in the set now?

Down to only 13 for the 61 Topps set with this purchase...Stan the Man will be freed in a couple days...I am not one who is over concerned with centering, but having looked for just the right card and deal for Stan, it's pretty hard to find this card as centered as this one is, especially for the price I won it for. For whatever reason, this card was hard to obtain...lots of garbage out there. Maybe it's just me...anyhow, getting this one felt good.

John - Really nice Stan. Congrats.

Irv - Seems like you may have gotten robbed on the Kuzava unless there is a small wrinkle somewhere.

I think you mean the submitter got robbed. Irv got a steal!

Oops! Yes, this.

Thanks. :)

I am currently sitting at 196 cards which consist of 138 lower numbered cards (1 to 310) and 58 High number cards (311 to 407)
I have purchased 84 "52 Topps" cards since I joined the site back in January. :eek:


I looked and looked, Ray and finally noticed some small spider lines on the back mixed in with the writing.
The front, using a lighted magnifying glass, I can't see anything.
I assume, because the card has them somewhere, that's what warrants the grade?
Either way, as I have seen worse cards graded higher, this one was graded tough imo.

It was a cheap p/u nonetheless and I would have no problem purchasing cards graded like this any day of the week! :)

Beautiful Banks!!

Good stuff on this page fellas!
The color on the Richardson is banging! Kuzava and Stan the Man are sweeet!

Just picked this one up for my rookie collection.

Not a big fan of the 55 B, but that Aaron image is a good one! Nice cards

Nice cards Ray!

I love the '69 pitching leaders card! So unique!!!

I too love the pitching leaders. I've said ad nauseum that I love vintage league leaders cards with 3-4 HOFers. What's even better? When they all sign it! Awesome card!!

Thanks Lou & Dan


thought I overpaid for the leaders card (for some reason, I used a straight bid instead of a max bid...what a brain fart!)


I went after the Santo card in hopes that some Karma would be sparked...but, right now, down 3-1...might have to do it again...wait for it...NEXT YEAR.

X2!

I own a few of these multiple HOF cards but all lack the auto's. Those would be great to own for sure!

Never seen that Ted before. Nice!

Very nice!


This came today as well. Totally syked I own a 52 Topps wrapper!!

Thanks to Jeff8877 for the great deal and the willingness to sell me one!

I appreciate it, Jeff!

I love those old wrappers...so cool you got that for your set...nice.

Thanks!

I honestly didn't think I'd ever own one due to the rarity and the cost.

Can't wait to show my Father to see if it stirs up some memories? :)

Technically, I slipped one more good one in on Halloween night:
