November 2025 pickup thread
 

This arrived today. I've been on a Nolan Ryan kick lately. Getting closer to completing a run of his 1968-1994 Topps base cards. :)

Nice! I completed the base run a few years ago. Still need to get cards like my 1969 and ‘71 base graded, but I can’t get motivated to put them in the mail.

Saturday show pickups from Mebane, NC. Though there was entirely too much Pokémon and shiny crap, I was glad to be able to bring these guys home. The Uecker I was particularly pleased to add back; I had one in lower grade than this a few years ago, but sold it and almost immediately regretted it. Pete Rose will always be the king of the floating heads, but I would submit that Uecker is a not so distant second.

I know some people hate the floating heads, but they’ve never bothered me. They are very period specific, IMO. As for the rest - nice progress with some guys I needed for my '63 set.

Nov pick up
 

Happy to add this one, been waiting for the right card with the vintage signature.

A few Pittsburgh exhibits freshly graded. The 2.5 on the Aaron was a head scratcher.

They were super tough on these too, but I did get them to slab the full set of 1954s, all of which are the first they've graded. The 1953-55s are ad backs.
