Show your Satchell's!
 

Won this on eBay last night and would love to see other Paige cards. He was one of the all-time greats!

That's an awesome Satchel!~

I've got an eye on that 48' leaf Short print Satch on ebay right now.. LOL

I'm from and live in Mobile... Paige is legendary around here.

Not quite pre-war, but I love this one. Wish I had a bigger scan of it handy to post, but will put this one up for now at least....

My 1953 St. Louis Browns Topps team set. Satch is in the middle row...

Bill love that display! Your Paige looks very sharp!

Here's mine.

HAVE MERCY!!

That's probably the highest one graded in existence!

..
 

:D

Here's mine.

There was a PSA 8 in Goodwin back in '07 sold for 89k
Theres was a recent thread like this, and a board member had 2 of the Leafs.
BTW- Here's mine 48/49 Leaf

That's exactly what I want a PSA 1 or "authentic" 48 leaf satch

Where did you find that?

Nice!

In one of the Auction Houses, can't remember which one.
I know B&L had one and Mile High had a very nice one I wanted last year
The goal is to try to find one that's focused, not fuzzy looking. I wasn't worried to much on the o/c or anything, but this one had it all at the right price to me.
When they do come up, there will be bidders on them. GL finding yours.

Not a 6 but I'll take it.

Need to work on uploading photos. . . .first time . . . .

That's a beauty for a 3! Nice!

If you ever decide to sell that satch or want to fund a new project..
PM me!

Thanks!

Drooling over all these Leafs! and love seeing those 3 Bowman's side by side.

Here are mine...

Oomph! A.J. I was winning that Paige with about 10 seconds to go last night. It's a real beauty, I'm glad it's in the hands of a net54er. Wasn't quite sure if I was going to replace my current one but I wanted to at least see if it passed my eye test. Feel free to post more pics once it gets to you in the mail. Here's my current one

Best I could do for most of the Negro League HOFers was the 74 Laughlin set. Don't have a scan of the Satchel alone.

Nice cards and items, all. I waited years to find a piece like this and went all out to get it when it came up for auction. 1953 St. Louis Browns team issued PC, signed and mailed in 1953. The message on the back in Paige's handwriting says "Please send stamp envelop for photo" [sic]

Anyone have any Negro League items picturing Satchel?

Leafs w a negro league image on a modern card

Now that's just not fair....2 of them??


Congrats!!

Wow, really enjoyed this thread!

skinned, pasted, signed

There is always one in the crowd...lol

Real nice SGC graded card posted a day or two ago on eBay. Nice looking card. Some of the well written hyperbole seems warranted.

I saw it too...Carterscards. SGC 45/3.5
I wrote about this one in another forum.
Basicaly gonna re-post what I wrote:

For a moment I thought it was one of those fake or Rp cards, but noticed SGC slab..Wonder sometimes if a TPG mis-slabs one of those RP cards??? I cant believe the sharp colors on this one. If this was from some other seller with low feedback, I would thought this was 'cracked out' and inserted a fake.

Agree. Way sharper colors that typically seen. Can't believe the guys at SGC would screw up on a card like this so I'll give him a strong presumption of authenticity.

Carters tried selling as a BIN for 18,750 ended March 10th

Do they think they could get that?? Really?? Maybe they should try a AH. :eek:

Seems a little frothy.
I posted my PSA 3 that I bought last year for less than half of that.
I'd say this goes for 10-12 max.

Exactly. I replied that a PSA 3 in MileHigh went for near 9k. And B&L had a PSA 4 that went for 9900 or so last year as well.
Given the color, I think you hit the price range, lets just see what a Ebay audience says compare to a AH.

I know one thing. . . it ain't selling for $3,000.

So in you guy's opinion the SGC 45 SP on eBay right now is legit (safe to bid on)?

Thanks

Josh - I can't hold myself as knowledgeable enough to opine independently on authenticity. All I can go for are the seller (seems legit) and its graded. Maybe others can weigh in on an cardboard analysis. I can't.

Thanks for your reply. Yeah, the seller sure seems legit and the bids are rolling in.
My first evaluation is that it's legit and will end up around the 7-9k mark.

I tried comparing to better examples.
My 1st thing was looking at the red box. It has the shift to the right and up into the yellow part correct. That's good. The only thing is the darkness of the blue hat and red color bibb. I wish they had lighten the scan, looks like they had the lid open in a dark room. And the back words are so dark black. I cant compare it to anything yet. But I did not sleep at a Holiday Inn :D
As for the seller and grading, I concur looks legit.

Big fan of the incomparable Satchel Paige.
Check out Larry Tye's bio "Satchel, The Life and Times of an American Legend" if you haven't yet.

Those are fantastic!

PSA 2 arrived today
 

Registration is pretty good! very faint left edge crease and bottom staining are the big detractors

Better scans

Nice card. The Bowmam is a terrific card; terribly underrated if you ask me.

Satchel Paige and the Kansas City Swing
 

If you happen to live in or be near St. Louis over the next couple of weeks, come to the Repertory Theatre of St. Louis and enjoy the show - you can even get a free baseball card! (Let's see if we see any of these on the BST.)

I have many Satchel cards, postcards, photos, and memorabilia but my most prized Satchel is my son, Satchel Paige (+Surname). From 1988 and this past weekend....
Attachment 224474

Looks just like him! :-)

Great name and I'm sure he'll live up to the expectations!

congrats!

Loved looking at all the satch cards men! Congrats to all!

Here are mine (the '74 Laughlin is a Pop 1 with none higher). Great thread!
