May Pick Up Thread
 

Here's one more for the set (48/99)

my first pickup in a while
 

Went to a small local card show on the weekend and won the door prize. Its an auto'd 8x 10 of both Tony and Phil Esposito!

Five more Parkies for my set. Now over 50% at 53/99!

A new Maravich added to my set (3/23) and growing!

Nice pickup Jeff; keep the momentum going with that Maravich set!!

Thanks Rob! I have 5 Maravich cards waiting to be delivered (including an Icee Bear) + 2 ungraded Sportscasters cards. That will give me 10 out 23 cards for the set. Emailed a bunch of people about the 1972 Comspec card. That card is going to prove very difficult to find, but I'm up for the challenge!

1986-87 Fleer Basketball
 

I picked up 10 more SGC 96 examples for my 1986-87 Fleer Basketball registered set. Here are a couple highlights:

Just started this project and plan on getting from EX to NM, but a couple came back lower than I hoped. These are my first nine:

Nice Parkies,, very hard to come by in the high grade. I have heard these were tumbled in a drum after they were printed, but not sure if that is fact or not

Parkies
 

Thank you. They are difficult to get both centering and condition. I, too, have read about the cement mixer to mix the cards up. Not my first choice, but I guess it worked for them at the time.

Another 'Pistol' for my set (8/23). MANY more to come...

Picked these up from forum member NewEnglandBaseBallist:

Having a hard time finding graded Maravich cards lately. Did a lot of digging and ended up buying these from the 3rd ranked PSA master set registry collector. Never met the guy but feel like I've known him for years while working on this deal. The 1971 Topps Trios Maravich is amazing and well-centered (only 10 higher). The 1975 Topps Maravich only has 3 graded higher. I now have 14/23 cards with a few more in the works!

Glad you like them Jeff!

Mike! Glad to see you post on this thread. For anyone who doesn't know already, Mike is a great guy who really helped me out with my set. (If you ever get tired looking at your Comspec, be sure to let me know!:))

Until I do, here is one you can look at for now!

You even made it your avatar! I don't know if I'll be able to look at it everyday without drooling:D
