Another great Gervin!

I got these last week

Thanks! Took nearly a year to find one.

Those are sharp ones ,

My first 68 Topps Test card and its a HOF RC!

Fabulous card. These are so difficult.

Congratulations on the Monroe, those are so tough!

Adam, nice 79 Kareem. That was the first Jabbar I ever had, still my favorite.

Traded in a box of 1970s commons for that Kareem and a 1978 Payton at my LCS.

Remembering the Glory Days of The Suns.

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.
