December Pickups
Hit up a card show this morning, and found a couple of goodies. Any day that I can add Mick, Mays and Al to the collection without completely wrecking my wallet is a very good day.

December Pickups
Mailday! I still have a sweet tooth for high-end 5’s, apparently...

A huge mail day for me. I have been looking to add this card for some time now. Welcome home, Arriba!

Congrats! That’s a lifetime keeper there. I had one back when I was a teenager but wasn’t smart enough to hold onto it. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |

One more for my 52 Topps collection. I was hoping that mark on the upper border was just dirt but its and actual dent.

Psyched to get this. You know how hard this card is to find centered this nicely!

Picked up this Yaz RC for a steal on eBay for $15. Very happy to have this one marked off the needs lists.

Here is mine that took a long time to find and when I saw it listed on Ebay I did not hesitate to pull the trigger at the time. https://www.collectorfocus.com/image...b-gibson-psa-6 |

Early November purchases but late December arrivals due to our postal strike up here. I was starting to get nervous that these cards weren't going to make it.
Real happy to finally scratch Ray Murray off the list. This was another toughie for me! |

Posted in the Mick thread, but had to post it here also. My earliest Mick. At this moment, he probably had no idea of what would await him in NY in the coming years.

Arrived today after “only” a 5 day delay in what the USPS originally said. It’s been awhile since I ventured this far into the 1970’s - but I love the design of this set...

I received these for various sets I'm working on.

Got these this past weekend. Had the Mantle LL previously but traded it to the LCS. So I picked it up again this past weekend in a trade.

Love that Koufax. I've been after the 58 for a while, but have yet to find one that meets my standards for a price I'm willing to pay. Yours is a beauty with great centering.

Owing largely to nostalgia, this is probably my most favorite card of all time, so I wanted to get a really nice one...but I didn't want to pay $300+ for a straight 9, since it is such a widely available card. I negotiated with a seller and got it for $55, plus I was able to use the 15% off ebay coupon on top of that. The centering doesn't bother me much at all, as it looks entirely natural and doesn't even come close to bothering my eyes. Other PSA 9OC's (with relatively decent centering) usually sell for $100 (one that is almost kissing the bottom border is actually listed for $325 on ebay...and it's NOT Dean's!!), so I am very happy to add this guy...

I don't normally post items in pick-up threads but I am really pleased with this one:
http://photos.imageevent.com/exhibit...Ryan%20_2_.jpg The card looks great in hand. I don't see anything to justify the low grade. Not that I care because the card isn't going anywhere any time soon. |

Adam, a PSA 4?
That card is sweet. |
I definitely cant see any flaws that would knock it down to VGEX. Looks like 5-6 range to me. Any slight creases?

Gents,
I am thrilled to have picked up this 1948 Swell "Baseball Thrills" Jackie Robinson card. I know the hobby doesn't recognize its RC status as widely as the 1948/1949 Leaf and 1949 Bowman cards. However, the fact that it was unquestionably issued in 1948 and specifically highlights Jackie's debut gives it a special status at least in my own mind.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...d3c132b8fc.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...df8dfd5168.jpg Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-J327A using Tapatalk |

Happy to pick this up. Never even knew I wanted it till I came across it looking for something to buy with the 15% off eBay coupon.

Another pickup that made me happy. Has an OC qualifier but I'm happy with it for the price I paid.

99.99999% of Ryan RC's are O/C, so as poorly centered as this one is, the 15% off brought the price down to a good place and helped ease my concerns with it...

I picked up another 64 Stand-up upgrade for my set. I bought this one the day eBay had 15% off and 8% bucks the same day.

This wildly miscut Mick is pretty darn cool, because it has Eddie Mathews attached to it...

Glad to have had the 15% off ebay coupon and the 8% ebay bucks a week or two back to use with some of my early holiday ebay gift cards to pick up this card...one of the sharpest 5s I have in my set. One of the few 52 Topps cards that looks better in hand than in the scan....the white borders are blinding.
Down to 22 to go on this 52 set.. |

I am down to needing 9 for my low number series and am still stuck at 34 for my high numbers set. CDN dollar is in the tank again and my wife lost her job at GM so it is looking bleak, at this point, that I will ever finish this set? :( |
Quote:
No job "changes" in my home yet (wife's job depends on continued funding which is questionable in 2020), recent unforeseen/unbudgeted expenses have greatly slowed my efforts on this set as well. Either way, it is about the journey and I will enjoy what I have accomplished so far. Hoping for your wife to quickly get something new lined up. Several years back my wife's father was "retired" early from GM so I remember the frustration at the time....all has worked out since though. |

For Christmas, my wife came up big for me. First, she bought me the last two cards I needed for my 1954 Topps set. Second, she gave me this second year Aaron.
|
Robert,
Congrats on killing the 54 set! My last two cards will be the Aaron and Banks rookies. I have two other commons to get still, then it'll be those two. AndyH |

I won this '52 Mays at Burls Vintage Set Breaks back in August. Has a bit of a tilt, but not bad for a $78 investment!!!

My Ted Williams just returned from PSA. I was hoping for a higher grade since I'm most likely going to sell it to defray the costs of the 1948 Sport Thrills Jackie Robinson I just bought.
Am generally a raw guy but I worried this card would be a much tougher sell raw due to all the fakes out there.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...e1bf3f3501.jpg Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-J327A using Tapatalk |

1971 Topps Set

Just got this in the mail today for my 1971 set. I immediately conducted an emergency “Beckettectomy” to remove the slab. I am pleased to announce that Mr. Banks is now resting comfortably in the confines of my 1971 binder.
