April Pickups...
Guess I will foolishly start it off (see what I did there?) with something that wasn't a true pickup, rather something I found while digging through some long-forgotten boxes. Two (scotch-taped together) 1981 unopened rack packs. Now that Rock Raines is a HOF'er, these guys have climbed up to have at least a modicum of value. Pretty cool just to have 'old' unopened material. Perhaps a pack ripping in the future?
Here's a hodgepodge group of shots to show 5 of the 6 players appearing (every single card front and back is a scrub)... 1982rackpacks.jpg

Those are sweet Darren...I remember tearing into those when I was 11...and a couple years into collecting. I remember late in 81 chasing Joe Charbanogh (SP?) and Fernando mania. I also loved that Bill Stein being a Mariners guy...I would have grabbed that pack FIRST.
Picked this up today...chipping away at a PSA graded 1969 set, have to start with my favorite player -

I’ve been on a Mantle kick too! The 60 looks very good in my hands for the grade. Super pleased.

Thank you Dale and John. John - that ‘57 is really nice. That one is on my want list for sure!

I made an offer on that Mantle and was negotiating with the seller - you must have barely beaten me. Nice card.

Its funny...I made an offer too...and saw there were several watchers and bids...and said "F" it...and just bought it. His full price was just too good. Sorry...
BTW...he shipped quick, got it today. Looks way better in hand than in the pic. I'd of paid $100 more if he had a better pic. Super happy with it.

Just got this in the mail, picked up from a fellow member on the BST.
I had a PSA 4 and I sold it in October thinking I'd easily find an upgrade. Big mistake! The market took off and I've been chasing this card since. Glad to have a 1956 back in my collection. |

Nicely centered high number. Still got a ways to go, but checking them off slowly.

You don't see too many 52 highs centered that well. |

Did you post a pic of the display anywhere? I'd also like to see that if it's no trouble?

Such a classic card, I pull mine out all the time to look at. Wish it was as nice as yours! I have a decently centered, sharped cornered 55...that was stapled to some kids wall! I imagine if it wasn't forced off the wall years ago I wouldn't own it, so I'm ok seeing those staple holes. A little rough for my set, hoping to upgrade someday...

Yep those are very nice B Robs. That 67T is impossible to find centered.

I discovered a new / old LCS about half an hour away yesterday. Here are my pickups, negotiated down slightly from sticker. Very pleased! Even more excited about the new resource...

Nice centering on that Minoso. That's probably a $100+ card right now. His price was accurate two months ago.

Thanks. No creases. The bottom on this one is a bit rough (can't really tell in the pic) but it still looks nice. I did see where PSA 3's are going in the $125 range anymore.
