Just show some cards
 

I was fooling around and made this montage of cards and thought it looked
pretty neat. I always like looking at other collectors cards. So how about
posting some of your favorites.

I took and posted this photo about a year ago, when I had all of my Lajoies home from the safe-deposit box. It's a little outdated now.

Mike,
Very nice. Tough to follow that!

Added about 5 or 6 since this photo,,,still have a long way to go..........

Thanks all. I'm in love with cards again. Nice to see them displayed and not locked in some box in a bank.

Rawn

My cards are displayed on two webpages. Please check them out at the links below. The first page is for Type Cards. The second page is for Lefty Grove cards.

.

this is the perfect photo to decide whether one likes PSA or SGC.... seeing them side by side tells me SGC presents so much nicer with the dark background!

I agree FUBAR,that SGC presents way better than PSA.One thing I do like about PSA holders though,is that they are thinner.

Clayton

the black background makes all the difference, they really pop.... you don't get the same effect when guys post up one card here and there......

Moles...

Great stuff, guys! Obviously some amazing collections on here.

Similar to Mike's post that started this thread, here's a collage I put together
a couple years ago using photoshop. Pretty much all of these cards are slabbed,
and grade in the range of VG - NM.

How I Kept My T206's Until Last Month...
 

It's true. In a cigar box. Considering how much I miss the hobby as it was when I first started in the mid-1970's, and when most of these cards were acquired, this is a perfect place for them. Before I transferred all my singles to their own separate Ultra Card II holder, I thought I'd snap this photo. Hope you like.......

Hey Clayton, I love how you cleverly showed your guard cat in the photo...just in case anyone had any thoughts of larceny...:p

Cheers,
Blair

Wow that cigar box full of T206s is awesome, thanks so much for showing!

Here are a couple of my favs:

Clayton

Holy cow! I need a smoke and a nap after the shot of all those in the cigar box.

......OOOOH......why isn't this card graded ?......Is this dude crazeeee ? ?


TED Z

I seem to recall you posting that you pulled that from a pack during your childhood.

Daryl
 

Sure did....my last 5-cent wax pack, with 4 other Hi # cards in the Fall of '52.

I just posted that silly comment, since nowadays it's unheard of to own such a card in it's original free form.


TED Z

That's one spectacular pull on the last pack!

Daryl
 

It was my last pack because I kept buying 1952 Topps packs until I found a Mantle.

Here's a cool Trivia quiz for you....what significance does the # of Mantle's card have ?


TED Z

Mantle batted .311 in 1952, same as the card number. You can look it up.
