September Pickups

[JollyElm]

I'll open up this month's festivities with the trio of top tier HOF'ers I picked up via ebay's recent 15% off coupon...

Here's an oddball piece... a 1971 Creative Graphics Inc. Montreal Expos Pop-Up of John Bateman!

[BLongley]

Few more of my Clementes came for the basic set, and picked up a Ryan Rookie at a good price... perfect corners and registration... assume it would be an 8OC, but the guy getting it graded wanted no qualifiers and I prefer it that way too... the OC doesn't bother me too much on this one and it's one of those cards I just always wanted to get...

Random pickup for my favorite set, found cheap on Facebook. Upgrades my raw EX copy.

Those Clementes are sweet, Brian

That 1957 Ted Williams is one of my all-time favorite cards...maybe #1 ever. There is a bit of an old and tired look to the Kid at age 38, but he still managed to bat .388 that season and have what some may consider the second best season of his career. Of all of Teddy Ballgame's cards, this one for whatever reasons feels the most majestic and regal--kind of like it's saying, "Yeah, yeah, I'm a cranky and achy curmudgeon but I'm still Ted Williams, the best f@%^ing hitter who ever lived."

Nice pickup, Dan! That really is a great set. If you watched the PBS special on Ted Williams that came out last month, you probably had a similar reaction to mine--"That's the picture they used on the card!"

[jason.1969]

Keeping up the Ted Williams theme, here are my latest two additions. These take me to 76/80.

Very nice. Did not realize before I started collecting the '67 set how difficult it is to find that card centered. Mine is centered about like yours, but is probably only a 5 or 6 otherwise.

[brob28]

Mr Brock just arrived, now down to 4 cards for my '62 master set.

Thanks Mark! I’ll have something to show when you start the 365 days of Brooks Robinson thread😁

Late deliveries, which usually means I will be paying duty, which I did.

Purchased these earlier in August but just received them last week.
Slowly but surely getting there with my 52 Topps set.

Nice pick ups everyone. Like the look of the 54s.

I don’t post too often around here, but here’s my September pickup

Nearly my entire collection are cards outside the big four sports. I have only a handful of baseball cards, but I am excited to pick up this Old Gold Jackie. The Old Gold cards of Robinson seem really undervalued to me, given how much the Bond Bread portrait has climbed in value the last few years and the huge the population of his Topps, Bowman and Leaf cards.

Very nice card, Bored5000!

Thanks, Irv. The card went cheaper than I thought it might, given how hot Jackie cards have been lately and being a PWCC auction. I know several of Robinson's color cards are iconic, but I love the more scarce in everything I collect.

Both Old Gold variations still seem really cheap to me for a debatable rookie card of Jackie Robinson

[jb217676]

Great Jackie, I need one of those! Here's my latest pick-up, a 1951 Snapshot (3.5" x 3.5") of Rogers Hornsby.

[mickey7mantle7]

Semi busy month (for me).

Had a falling out and had to start over...ugh.










And a couple of mitts.

I love those Mick Exhibits.

Great P/U's.

[luciobar1980]

Picked up this guy last night.

[jason.1969]

Decided the best place to put my 1978 Topps set in progress was the Topps "Super Sports Card Locker" some of you may remember from the sendaway offer on wax wrappers.

Surprised to find several on eBay, most equally beat up. The tie-breaker was that one came stuffed with 500+ cards from the 1980 set, all sorted into the team compartments.

The seller put some stars in one of the photos, which was an added bonus.


But the biggest surprise was when I flipped through the Oakland A's commons.

With today's pickup, am now just 2 cards from this set. I bet you can guess what one of them is!
