Default April Pickups

There was a mask-free show out here today (which was overwhelmingly populated by dealers selling new stuff, unfortunately) and I was able to go on a negotiation rampage with some vintage guys. Every single graded card was just so stupidly overpriced that it was a complete no-go. My favorite was the 1968 Topps Nolan Ryan PSA 3 Rookie Card for 4K...four frickin' thousand for a nasty looking card. Yowza!!!! Guess that makes my PSA 4 worth 6K now.

So I hit the dealers with ungraded stuff and worked out deals for some tremendously sweet cards!!!

582. Tacticalculus
Quickly crunching the numbers to determine if the price of an ungraded card is a good deal, based on what its value would be if it came back from a TPG at the grade it ‘unquestionably deserves.’

And sometimes, no matter what it costs, you gotta pick up a freaky card, because you may never see another one like it! (There's easily removable gum/wax residue on the front, so 'Broadway Joe' was definitely issued in a pack!)

Some of these guys are available for trade. Gimme a shout.

Loved the MC "qualifier discount" on this Minoso, since it only relates to the back.

Love the miscut backs, where the front is totally fine. Nice pickup!

Here's one that just arrived in the mail.
A signed '57 pafko copy?

I was told it was done at shows in the 70s. For autograph guests.
Can anybody confirm that?

Awesome card, Phil
I'm still looking for a nice '58 for my Kaline run.

Nice Kaline Phil. Always liked the bold red background.

My Sterling win arrived recently.

I don't mind ponying up for rare cards (okay, I mind a little), but it hurts to do so for expensive but very common cards. Should have stopped passing on Jackie's for the last 10 years. Sometimes its cheaper to just buy it for my set now and not cry. With the two stocks and two variations of the logo, I believe I actually will need 4 of this card for my set eventually. I hope the A grade is because of the erasure mark and I didn't fail to notice something.

The Pakfo hasn't changed in price much for a long time. I'll never understand why it's expensive in low grade (over 10x other common players in series 1), but I've been building series 1 in both black and red back versions. I already had the red, so nice to cross this one off. It's probably the most expensive card of the run (except the wrong back Page/Sain errors if one counts them).

Mickey I got lower than I thought, it's Poor but it's Mickey and was only $70. Leaves me at 1 card to go for the 1959 basic set, Bob Gibson. I still need a grey back Maris and one of the Spahn variants for my master.

Default 1976 Uncut Team Checklist

I just picked up this nice, unchecked and uncut 1976 Topps Baseball Team Set send-in. This finishes my run of 74 to 82 Topps Send ins.

If I am ever fortunate to come across an uncut panel of the 73 Team checklists, I have seen two of them so far, I will gladly add that to the run. Until then, another checkbox checked.

Picked up at Prestige Auction. This is the 2nd card in a crazy 10 card run that I may never finish. This is card #6, I'll post #4 which I own, for reference.
From the auction description:

Twelve players are depicted in the JCM 135 set, with each player appearing in between five and ten sequentially numbered cards depicting play action. Shigeo Nagashima has ten cards in the set. When placed side by side, Mr. Giants is seen running for a ground ball, fielding it, and then throwing it. These cards are rarely seen, and we know of only one complete set of the ten cards. The Japanese Baseball Card Checklist & Price Guide, Vintage Edition 2.1 has assigned a scarcity factor of R5 to the JCM 135 set, signifying that five or fewer examples of each card are known.

Not a new pick up, but freshly graded yesterday. I've been having fun going through my 52 to 56 Topps and Bowmans and grading my HOFers. I've had A's to 6's...but really don't care. Just love the look and fun to do.

This was one of the 6 just completed...I thought for sure it would be a 2.5 or 3...no creases or wrinkles...a little tilted and corners certainly soft...but a 1.5? Oh well...




I've shared this card before, I got a lot of 55 Bowmans a year or so ago that the kid who owned them decided to record their uniform number on the front of the card. Adds character... I did finish the set (started with about 100 from the initial lot) with EXish cards so the goal now will be to slowly replace the marked cards, although I will keep them whole as they are cool to have. I had no idea what this Mantle would grade out to with the ink, no idea how SGC handles ink. Turns out, I got an A for "Evidence of Trimming". Which is funny...I got these directly from the guy who purchased them from the older man who opened them in packs. So...and besides...have you ever seen a stack of 55 Bowman? Not one card is the same size! Again, oh well...



The rest graded out as expected...
