July Pick-Ups
The good news regarding the Jacksonville monthly show is that it has expanded to two rooms and 70 tables. The bad news regarding the Jacksonville monthly show is that it's almost all modern cards, and most of the dealers that carry vintage bring the same old tired inventory. First time dealer had these three 1962 Topps Rookie Parade cards marked $20 each. I mean I already have them but these are getting tough to find and look good in the duplicates box. So I got the "how much for all three" discount, and paid $35, a good price I think. These are the only cards I bought all show, disappointing.

I'm not super-familiar with the 62 set...What makes those Rookie Parade cards tougher to find?

I put what I thought was a cheap opening bid on this 62 Frank Robinson ($10), and won it at the opening bid. Worn corners and a nice scuff on the surface, but still presents well. I may upgrade at some point, but it's a card I'm happy to own.
Picked up this 65 Frank Robinson from a net54 member earlier this week. This makes 12 of 19 on my Frank Robinson set.

Oh you know. Just your average day at the LCS. Trade credit from modern stuff and $200 later, and I am the owner of these.

Wow! How much credit on top of the $200? That’s a nice haul!

I had $250 in credit from trading in modern inserts refractors game used etc.. So I spent $450 in all. The Mantle-Aaron, Drysdale and Aaron were $100 each. The Killebrew was $150. I know I overpaid for the Drysdale but it's nice to get a HOFer RC

Just a few pick ups from eBay.

2 member pick ups and 1 from the outside world. All 3 on my checklist and kind of tough to find for a guy with centering ocd.

Beautiful cards. I was a couple hours late on that 63 Kaline, otherwise it would be part of my centering-focused collection. great buy!

Speaking of well-centered Kaline cards!!
I'm happy to get these recent pickups in hand. I overpaid BADLY on the 56, but as a collector I'm fine with overpaying for a card that I can enjoy for many years. As for the 71, I've found with how tough they are grading them now, I rather enjoy mid-grade examples.

That's a nice 56 Kaline Rugby, that one is next on my list. That 63 Kaline was a little difficult to find centered.
Glad you picked up the Santo Al, the 63 Banks was a sweet card too. |

Don't wanna be 'that guy,' but this Mr. Cub looks a heckuva lot better than only a 5, so I grabbed him up...

66 Clemente
Picked this up at Chantilly. Looks undervalued at $70. Touch on one corner. Great surface. Centering is what it is but $70 for this vs $350 for PSA 6 or 7 is a no brainer. Its a camera phone shot, looks great in person.

Lots of really nice cards in here already! I have another copy of this Jackie, but when I saw this one I gambled on a low (but not insultingly low) offer that was accepted. Very happy to have this example.

Great looking cards!
Great looking cards in this thread for sure. I haven't posted in a while since I have been working on sets but I had a good couple of days at the mail box this week. I know the Rose is off center but I find myself leaning more to good corners anyway so I found it on EBAY and bought it pretty cheap. The Robinson is a little off center as well but for a '57, the corners are sharp.

Went to the Dallas show yesterday and made a heavy dent into my 1958 Topps set.

Finally found a centered 67 Aaron, I was beginning to think they didn't exist, also can never pass up a nice Clemente card.

Thanks, much like the 73 Clemente you just don't find that card centered. I don't even know how many I looked at before this one popped up, but if you wait long enough your card will appear when ready.

A couple recent wins.
Everyone has sets that just don't peak their interest and capture them the way that others do. Everyone's taste is different, and there's nothing wrong with that. For me, 1955 Bowman is one of them. Just never really did anything for me. After owning a few of them as part of player sets that I'm working on, i will say it's growing on me. I'm getting down to the nitty gritty on my Brooks set. I've been focusing on centering as much as possible, but some cards are just so rare to see with decent centering. Like that 67 Aaron or a 73 Clemente, or a 57 Mantle. I haven't bid on many of these 59 Brooks cards because I just haven't come across many that are centered.

Very nice Clemente, I have never seen a back that wasn't off, I think there was a front/back registration problem when the cards were produced.

Mine is sharp enough to probably be a 7 or close too, but resides in a BVG 5 slab due to the centering being off noticeably left to right. Oh well, I'm over such perfection concerns on every single thing anymore. If I went after a truly centered '67 set - even just in midgrade, I'd probably get less than 15% of the way there before I died. I don't like egregious tilt or centering close enough to be confused with miscut, but moderate centering issues are something I've come to live with over the past 5 years or so.

Thats funny...I have an OC 67 Aaron that is easily a 6 or 7 outside of being OC...I found a PSA 3 that was perfectly centered...I bought it, popped it...and that card is now in my binder! Has a slight wrinkle barely noticable...one of the only times I chose a centered card over a OC tight card. I was just so happy and surprised to see one centered. The card here is AMAZING...

!956 and 1957 upgrades
..upgraded some of my New York Giants and Yankees .....that new Berra is possibly the first centered sharp-cornered and focused/registered 1957 Topps raw number two Yogi Berra I've ever found in many years of watching ; really gorgeous in hand , my scanning skills notwithstanding..........so very few focused Berra '57's out there......he's still a mug shot , but a decent-looking one finally... .. |

Been looking for this DiMaggio for a long time, and finally settled on this one for its combination of eye appeal and price.

Pretty thrilled with this pickup and an upgrade to boot.
Never been a fan of 58s but when I saw this one I really under appreciated how awesome they can look with the right appeal.
