Baseball Monthly premiums - m118

[doug.goodman]

The catalog lists 88 of them, but there seems to be 89 different ones, assuming that the 88 in the catalog exist.

The Roberts is unlisted.

Do you have any? Let's see them...

Mine for a few more days at least. Which catalog did you see a listing of these in? (or if in the Standard Catalog, what heading are they under, as I couldn't seem to locate them).

[doug.goodman]

I'm not sure, I looked in a couple of guides yesterday before I emailed you, and couldn't find them listed. I must have gotten my list of 88 from somewhere, but at the moment, I'm not sure where.

I'll keep you updated when I figure it out.

Obviously we know Doug is not an attorney, or he would not ask someone a question without knowing the answer

Ahhhhh...., but I didn't ask a question, so I didn't NEED to know know an answer...

Hate to be that guy that bumps a 2-year-old post, but I just picked up the M118 Ted Williams in a lot. It wasn't what I bought the lot for, and I don't see a Williams on ebay. Commons sold for $3, but then Dick Groat sold for $11.99. Have a friend who collects Williams and wanted to let him get it at a fair price. Is $10 fair? Too expensive? Too cheap? Again, it's not what I bought the lot for, so I essentially don't have money in it.

[doug.goodman]

I'm still looking for :

Aaron
Colavito
Howard
Maris

Thanx in advnace for any help,
Doug

[CoachRep]

I've seen these cards listed as both 1962 and 1963. Does anyone know which is accurate?

[doug.goodman]

Bumped because I found the Aaron. Although it's not as nice as the one Adam posted.

So I'm still looking for :

Rocky Colavito
Elston Howard
Roger Maris

Thanx in advance for any help,
Doug

[doug.goodman]

Still looking for Roger Maris and Elston Howard from the m118 Baseball Monthly issues.

Thanx,
Doug

[whiteymet]

Anyone have a Mays they are looking to move? PLMK

Thanks!

[doug.goodman]

Still looking for Roger Maris (pictured) and Elston Howard (who may not exist) from the m118 Baseball Monthly issues.

Thanx,
Doug

[quitcrab]

Looking for Brooks Robinson and Mays. Thanks Scott

[raulus]

I suspect a lot of us are in the hunt for the Mays. It's one of only 3 pieces left on my list to wrap up my PSA Master Mays set.

And I will pay dearly to acquire it!

[whiteymet]

How much does it cost to grade a trimmed one? Do they "trim" the cost, hahaha. It's nice that they let it roam free in the slab like that.

Free range cards are happy cards!

[raulus]

While (most) everyone else was having a blast sweating to the oldies at the National, I got a package from PSA. Including my Mays M118!

Graded at a PSA 4. Since there are only 2 graded, the grade is less important, although for us set registry goons, it just means that I need to find another one that I can get graded higher so that I can take the top spot for this slot.

[Chstrite]

Very nice…not trimmed like my Brooksie!

[Krasman]

Hi yall. Newbie to the forum.
Al Kaline collector here.
In search of the M118 for my set. Any leads or assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you and hope you all have a great day.
Also any other Kaline oddball items...feel free to reach out.

[doug.goodman]

Congrats on your Mays. Some day everybody's favorite opinion seller will learn that Baseball Magazine had nothing to do with these posters.

Any luck with your Kaline search?

I wonder where they could possibly gain that knowledge? Hmmmm. Let me think. Hey! I know! It says right there on the friggin' poster!

It also wouldn't bother me if they got the year right, but I'm trying to go easy on them.

Can anybody help me on pricing M118s, both major stars and lesser?

Condition is everything, of course. And these tend to be so big and so thin that they get beat up, stained, wrinkled, dents and dings, etc.

The demand is also often very thin. These are not a mainline topps issue where even the commons are in demand by someone. So most of the time, you will have fun finding a buyer at any price. But outside of the stars, if you’re willing to take $50 apiece, the odds are good that they will sell…eventually.

Even for the stars, it’s just a question of how motivated a buyer is, which is often a function of how long they’ve been looking, and how much they’re willing to drop on it. Most of the time they will sit, even at low prices. But on a good day, you could probably get 3 figures and maybe even mid 3 figures. On a great day, when the stars align, and especially if it’s graded and highly graded, then you might get low 4 figures. But that’s going to be rare.

As a good example of this dynamic, a Drysdale is on eBay right now for $16, including shipping. It has a few bends, and one of the corners is dinged up. But otherwise it’s not a bad example.
