Upgraded my ‘72 Lefty. I still think this is one of the most underrated cards of the 1970’s. The only card from his fabled 27-10 season to feature Carlton as a Phillie, and nice copies can easily be had for less than $50. Imagine if Nolan Ryan had a high-number “Traded” card from ‘72...

Soon to be included in my 1961 Topps for trade thread :cool:, I couldn't pass this Santo up. Man, qualifier or not, this high grade HOF rookie card is just the slightest hair off-center top to bottom. Looks pretty damn sweet to me...

Incoming today. Thanks eBay bucks! I will say it again - always have thought the ‘61s are under appreciated in comparison to ‘65 or ‘67 Topps. At least on the ones with caps - the portrait shots are generally pretty good.

Technically not new pick ups, but case breaks/resubmissions. The Berra was previously graded a BVG 6 and got a PSA 5 while the Musial was previously graded a BVG 5.5 and received a PSA 5. All in all, pretty happy the PSA grades were very close to the BVG grades.
P.S. These are from when I first began dumping my savings into buying cards and didn't understand what I was doing (hence the off-centering) and I was merely buying the grade, not the card! These cards are honestly a bit of an eye sore to me now due to the bad centering, despite how cool they are. |

Hello! My first post; I just got back into collecting and have narrowed my focus to some vintage baseball, Basketball, football and hockey! The set I’m looking to put together is 1970 BKB Tallboy, with my second focus being baseball!
Picked this up today! 1960 Fleer http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f2...psuitegscd.jpg http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f2...pszittrx2q.jpg |

I've been doing a series called "Cardboard Cooperstown" on the blog where I choose the best looking card of every Hall of Famer. As you can imagine, it's hard to write about all these great cards without buying one or two. :)
For my money this Campy card comes about as close to a perfect card as any. Finally pulled the trigger. Attachment 349602 |

Here's a Brook Treakle color photo card of the Mick:
https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/XU4AA...SS/s-l1600.jpg From a post on CU: "I've been doing some research over the past two years on these postcards. The photographer's name is Brook Treakle. He passed away in 1991, but he took a lot of photographs for the Peninsula Pilots in the Carolina League; in fact, his photographs were used for the two 1980 TCMA Peninsula Pilots sets with Julio Franco. ... Treakle's trademark is his immaculate hand-printing on the backs of the cards. When he passed away, his mother sold his collection. It was broken-down into three groups: photo postcards, negatives, and autographs. A lot of the autographed items have appeared on eBay. I found out the two collectors who purchased the negatives and the postcards. I don't know what quantities he produced the postcards in, but I have to believe it couldn't be more than a handful. He also took pictures of photographs in books and made postcards out of them, He referred to them as "photo negatives."" The card has Treakle's immaculate block printing on the back. |

Great card. Much more appealing than Hank's Topps products, in my opinion. Kind of a tough number in that regional set, as well. Congrats. |
This Aaron had been on my want list forever. Had small pittance left over after taxes and was able to pull the trigger.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...7d28a8a563.jpg

I bought a small collection and was thrilled to end up with a pretty clean one of these. (Curious what you think it would grade as.)
Ended up with many other HOFers and commons from era, but this was by far the biggest score of the bunch.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...c802fb08fc.jpg Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk |

Not an easy find so I'll live with the centering. Amazing color in hand.
