July Pickups...

[Kzoo]

Guys...........I bought this 'raw' off Ebay in early June and just received it back from PSA on 7/1. I'm working on a signed RC HOF set.

Great addition Matt. How many signed RC cards do you have, and of the ones you have which is the "rarest"?

I started buying cards and getting them signed around 2001. As the old saying goes, 'I wish I would have bought more back then'. I lost interest for about 10 years and I ended up selling a few, which now I need again for the registry set PSA has started. I bought my '51 Mantle back then, as well, which I'm glad I kept. I've really not had any collecting direction or focus for quite some time, and this set actually gets me excited again. My rarest is probably this Campanella, as PSA has only authenticated 2, I believe. I had to convince my wife it was a good opportunity to buy it. Thanks..........Matt

Congrats Matt. I saw it on ebay and couldn't pull the plug. Glad it went to you and not a flipper

I guess I keep on rambling



I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives



I don't give a damn
'Bout my reputation
I've never been afraid of any deviation
An' I don't really care
If ya think I'm strange
I ain't gonna change
An' I'm never gonna care
'Bout my bad reputation
Oh no, not me



Wild man's world is crying in pain
What you gonna do when everybody's insane
So afraid of fortune, so afraid of you
What you gonna do?

Since I see some rock & roll autographs, these two might relate... Original 45's of Richie Valens' Donna & Buddy Holly's Peggy Sue signed by their namesakes.

One of the toughest 1930's debut autographs. Collier passed away in 1944 and there are approximately 5 examples known to exist. I am not sure if any mention his nickname "Jelly" as this one does.

I needed a new project to mess with so I picked this up.

Already signed by Carrie Fisher (Leia), Dave Prowse (Vader), Peter Mayhew (Chewie), Anthony Daniels (C3PO), Jeremy Bulloch (Boba Fett), Kenny Baker (R2D2), and Mark Hamill (Luke Skywalker)

I'd like to add Harrison Ford, George Lucas, James Earl Jones, Billy Dee Williams, Frank Oz and Ian Mcdiarmid. Some of those I'd like to get are VERY tough now but no big deal to me if I don't get them. Mainly the piece reminded me of a very enjoyable part of my childhood so I bought it.
