RC or Pre RC?
 

Mixed info on whether this is his true RC or a pre RC?

That's interesting. My first thought was that I didn't understand the confusion, that it was his true RC. A quick search of eBay and I see the 92/93 UD WJC being listed as the RC, so I see the question. For my money, your example is the RC, mainstream issue (that stuff wasn't exactly hard to get, I had a lot and live in TN) from UD, pretty much an addendum to their North American issue. Maybe not the most persuasive of arguments, but I call that the RC. Really nice card regardless.

I know, eh!

I was briefly looking through some cards thinking of some cards I'd like to own and that is when I found this Kayria card.
It was listed as his RC but when I did some further digging, I found another piece that said his 92-93 was his "True" RC? :confused:

Like I mentioned in my 1st post, the info is scattered with some reading mine and others reading 92-93. I don't think, for whatever reason(s), it was ever entirely solved/proved?

" Rookie Card: Kariya’s rookie card is in the 1992-93 Upper Deck Hockey set, as a part of its World Junior Championships subset, a good two years before his NHL debut. Like most hockey cards made in the early 1990s, it is very easy to find. A more challenging – and earlier – Kariya card to track down is from the 1991-92 Upper Deck World Junior Championship set, which was sold in Czechoslovakia in 1992"

Picked this up last month. Tough enough to find unsigned.

What a great program! Nice find!

Thanks! I usually stick to home Celtics programs but I have always liked this cover.

91 Upper Deck Czech made it to America in mass quantities. The Kariya card is easy.

I thought the same thing, Peter, only I wasn't 100% sure if these cards were the exact ones he was talking about?

Dale yes, just look at what it says on the card.

Both English and Czech writing on the back and they spelled Canada with a K instead of a C so I guess that confirms it.

I just wasn't sure, after I read that piece I bolded, and seen a ton of these myself, if these were the cards he/they were referring too.

Thanks for clearing it up, Peter. :)

"The Batters Box" had a 20% off sale during Black Friday, and I picked up quite a few low grade hits to my Parkhurst sets. Including this 1961 Gordie Howe.

Nuttin' wrong with that. I picked up a Howe item too:

I thought I recognized your name Adam when I packed the order. Nice pickup, I really like the Howe.

Beverly Hills?

Beverly Hills Baseball, yes sir.

Where I come from isn't all that great
My automobile is a piece of crap
My fashion sense is a little whack
And my friends are just as screwy as me
I didn't go to boarding schools
Preppie girls never looked at me
Why should they?
I ain't nobody
Got nothing in my pocket

[Chorus]
Beverly Hills
That's where I want to be (gimme, gimme)
Livin' in Beverly Hills
Beverly Hills
Rollin' like a celebrity (gimme, gimme)
Livin' in Beverly Hills

[Verse]
Look at all those movie stars
They're all so beautiful and clean
When the housemaids scrub the floors
They get the spaces in between
I wanna live a life like that
I wanna be just like a king
Take my picture by the pool
Cause I'm the next big thing

Beverly Hills
That's where I want to be (gimme, gimme)
Livin' in Beverly Hills
Beverly Hills
Rollin' like a celebrity (gimme, gimme)
Livin' in Beverly Hills

[Bridge]
The truth is I don't stand a chance
It's something that you're born into
And I just don't belong

[Verse]
No I don't
I'm just a no class, beat down fool
And I will always be that way
I might as well enjoy my life
And watch the stars play

[Chorus]
Beverly Hills
That's where I want to be (gimme, gimme)
Livin' in Beverly Hills
Beverly Hills
Rollin' like a celebrity (gimme, gimme)
Livin' in Beverly Hills

Although technically we are Los Angeles and a block outside of Beverly Hills :D But man I do love that song.

This thread keeps falling down the page, so I'll prop it up with a couple of new coach cards.

Usually if you buy a coat like that you get a bowl of soup with it. But on you it looks good. :rolleyes:

55 Parkie looks like a knock-off of 54 Topps. Nice Richard.

Some gorgeous cards top to bottom. Love that Rocket!

Still trying to get a 10 on this one, thought this one had a great shot, still love it!

This one worked out!

Can't believe this was a 10 based on centering alone but PSA is consistently ignoring the faux borders at the top.

God bless hockey.

1965 Coca-Cola Gordie Howe and Forbes Kennedy (perforated)

Forbes was kicked out of the league for punching a ref. As I have learned, he was quite the individual!

This was the same game where Pat Quinn knocked out Bobby Orr with a vicious hit (elbow) so tensions were high.

Here's a tough 1964-67 J.D. McCarthy Phil Esposito, considered a "pre-rookie".

Jeff, very nice.

Thanks Pete! First pick-up in a few months, taking a bit of a break to rebuild my other collections (Vintage Star Wars & Masters Of The Universe Action Figures)

In Boston back in the day of the big bad Bruins there supposedly was a bumper sticker that read, Jesus Saves, Espo scores on the rebound.

Just back today from PSA. I submitted two, both of which I removed from Mint magazines, and which looked identical, and the other one got an 8. Go figure.

1943-48 Parade Sportive.

Sensational item.

74-75 OPC Don Cherry RC. "It's a Beauty" :)

Another couple additions. I remember having both of these cards as a kid so I had to have them. I lost out on some others unfortunately but I am still looking.

Mr Orr
 

I collect Baseball, but have been looking for one of these for awhile 1966 jd mccarthy pc with a rookie era sig.

I thought this was strong for the grade.

:)

Still chipping away at my Parkhurst hockey sets. This "pin-holed" 1963 Henri Richard ebay pick-up was $4.20 delivered and I was happy to get it!

You and me are probably sifting through the same dollar boxes at the National, Larry.

I'm not making the trip to Chicago this year Adam so the dollar boxes are all yours!

Hello! New to net 54 and collecting as a whole! Thought I’d share my fav card I’ve picked up this year! 1962 Parkhurst, Gilles Tremblay.

[IMG]http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f2...psp9pc9lvy.png[/IMG]

Very nice, can't go wrong with vintage Parkhurst hockey.

Look, if you are like me, and you are trying to complete your Parkhurst hockey sets, you will have to shop with the great dealers north of the border. Watch the "small" print that describe shipping costs. Watch if your snipes are US or Canadien currency. Don't watch your mailbox because it will take time. Patience grasshopper.
So I picked up 20 low grade hits to my pathetic 1952 full set attempt. All of these were auctions style listings, and I missed on at least twenty more. Total cost for the cards in US $44.93 and shipping $7.48 US total $52.41 or $2.62 per card delivered which is quite good I think. About 1/2 the cards suffer from slight back damage.
It took 24 days after payment to get the cards to me in Florida but I think it was worth the wait!

I like hockey and I like hockey cards. But I don't know much about the players. Recent eBay win 1960 Parkhurst #3 Johnny Bower arrived today now I need only five cards to complete this set. Card cost $4.52 but $4.48 to ship from north of the border. I was going to post that I might have overpaid a bit for this card, not much though (based on the low grade). But Johnny Bower is a Hall of Famer plus in 2017 he was voted one of hockeys greatest 100 players ever plus he lied about his age to join the military and served in WWII plus it's a pretty awesome card.
http://www.net54baseball.com/picture...ictureid=26909http://www.net54baseball.com/picture...ictureid=26910

I love these, although most I think do not.

I don't know much about GMA cards but this one looked good and it was priced right.
I've been an Eberle fan since his World Junior days and seeing how he was playing in the 1st round against the Penguins, I thought I'd see if I could find his Young Guns RC at a reasonable price.

Recent arrivals from North of the border:) I picked up 20 1955 Parkhurst beaters individual ebay auction format for $107.10 total delivered or $5.35 each but included a couple of tough ones #78 The Montreal Forum among them!

Sounds like a pretty good deal, Larry.

Congrats on the P/U's. :)

A new addition I am quite happy to own! :)

Some random Cousy items.

Very excited to add this 1971 team issue to the collection. And its signed on the reverse!

Long time grail for me. LOA from Mikan's son attests that it was from Mikan's personal collection. It was originally sold by PWCC, but wishful thinking says it's OK.

Very nice.

Love the Mikan!

I am certain that these 1986 Merchantes are not Mosered:

probably my favorite 1980s Jordan card.

A couple recent additions, including a signed Wendel Clark card. One of my all time favorite players! :) I need to acquire his OPC RC now. :)

Sweet card. I was bidding on the lot that recently auctioned. I don’t really collect a whole lot of cards, but these are bad a$$.

1969 Lakers Team Issue Chamberlain (5 x 7):

These three cards (Johnny Boyer, Jean Beliveau, and Gordie Howe) finished off
my 1962 set!

Based on my research this one is a genuine 1993 pack or redemption card and not, as so many of them are, signed later.

Great minds think alike I guess.

Ruby /50
 

I am told this card may have been released before the 101 which would make it Jordan's first card. PSA has killed the market for these, hard to believe how relatively inexpensive Star cards are for what they are and for their production numbers.

That's the best looking Giannis rookie I've seen. I will have to add it to my list. :D

Just a couple recent additions.

Gretzky has some interesting RC alternatives -- this, the McCarthy PC, and the Sportscaster.
