June pickups

[wfubob]

Picked up my raw Jackie for my '56 set! Really love the color, centering and corners, but the sliiiiiiiight top/bottom diamond cut drives me nuts!

[39special]

Nice looking card!!

[hangman62]

Oh yea,
Thats a very tough card to look at, Im sure most guys would have to turn it down for the imperfections ..............NOT
Come on man, that card is awesome looking !

Ha, well-said. Don't get me wrong, I'm real happy with it! I better be in case my wife checks the paypal account to see what I paid (she'd never understand what a good deal I got)

[ALR-bishop]

Great card

[mintacular]

I don't see the diamond cut you are referring too. No vintage card is perfect at some point you learn to love the minor imperfections which makes it vintage. Love the '56 JRob was thinking about buying a similar card last month but keep getting distracted with other cards

[novakjr]

I vaguely see the DC. Doesn't bother me one bit, that Jackie is absolutely gorgeous... Congrats on the pickup.

Also can't see the diamond cut on that card. Back in the '80's, my wife discovered I spent 28 bucks on a NM '51 Bowman Ford card and she hit the ceiling. Spent the next month monitoring her bills and confronted her over a fifty dollar shoe purchase. Not the same thing, according to the boss...I had to agree.

Picked up this Mick (thanks Jim!)...only need a few more to complete my '59 Topps set...

Oh, the irony. No kidding, just saw the wife's buy of $50 for a pair of shoes--FLIP FLOPS!!--on paypal. I'm storing that little nugget away should I need it.

Very nice Mick pickups, gents! My vintage stops at '57, so gearing up to trade all my '78 and later that I collected, for '58-'71.

Adam-that Versalles cards is like a some weird modern art painting!

I have nothing so esoteric but this finishes off my 48-57 Topps and Bowman Dodgers run. Now for the upgrades!

[ALR-bishop]

Dave--congrats on the run. Adam---as Dave knows I appreciate weird cards and Zoilo sure qualifies...Harrmon too

[Exhibitman]

yes, those two are among the stranger misprints I've acquired. In 1976 at summar camp I recall eating a Hostess product most days. I actually remember getting the Hank Aaron card--he was a favorite of mine. So, picked up a few in memory of 1976:

Thirty years on, I think the $28 spent on a NM 51 B Ford was justified. The $50 shoes, not that much. Only wish I had the guts then to put down a hundred or two on the NM Mantle rook card.

A few more for the Lou Brock collection, plus a few more Redbirds odds and ends.....

[UOFLfan7]

Got much more, but have to go through them still!

[David W]

The 59 F Robinsons is one of my favorite looking cards

[mintacular]

Nice Duren, that is sweet. Bought a few '55 Bowmans, and Murray RC recently.

[39special]

Dumped some more of my modern stuff and picked these up.

[ALR-bishop]

You are on a roll Steve !

Thanks, you have some nice Bowmans there and I think you Murray RC is in better condition than mine!

[ALR-bishop]

Like the Callison a lot

[MBMiller25]

I really like that Murray OPC. Congrats on the pickups.

Its been a good month for me on so many levels. Here are a couple June pickups, including the pinnacle card of my collection.

Very nice cards, particulary the Mantle card! Heck I'm getting envious just looking at it haha.

[bcbgcbrcb]

Matt:

Great Mantle & Clemente cards, WOW!

Good month? I'd love to see what a great month would be for you!!!

Great pickups, absolutely stunning!!!

[ALR-bishop]

Wow + 1

[Robextend]

[ALR-bishop]

Love that set

[David W]

64 Giants look great on a wall....

[Robextend]

Nice display of your Topps Giants!

[novakjr]

Nice Whitaker Rob. I love the '78's, there's some nice rookies in that set, especially for the Tigers. The multi-player rookies are nice, plus the individual cards of Whitaker, Trammell and Morris in the '78 Topps Burger King set make for nice contrast..

Also, gotta throw out some love to that Mantle. Very F'ing nice Matt...

[Iwantmorecards77]

Decided to take a break from pre-war with my latest pick-up and add a nice card to the rookie collection:

[ALR-bishop]

A very nice break...

[sox1903wschamp]

Nice 54 Banks!

[MBMiller25]

Very Nice Banks. I love that card!

Wow, those bring back some memories. I think I still have my Aaron too!!!

Awesome pickups Matt. I think that 1951 Bowman Mantle is underappreciated too!!!

So when are you cracking that out Al so we can play a game at the National.

Congrats on finishing your set!!!

[ALR-bishop]

Freed. That bolt cutter makes quick work of this things

[David W]

Is there a checklist of the 68 Milton Bradley cards?

My 2010 standard catalog does not even list them.
