Dan:
Not sure if the corner missing would make it altered, I would think a 1-Poor would be more accurate. |

Some excellent cards so far in this thread... I'm really excited about this one... been hunting it down for quite some time, and stumbled upon the highest graded between both SGC and PSA. Will cross it over to PSA in the near future. Cost me a little more than I would've liked, but I'm pleased nonetheless.
I am now 1 card away from 50% completion of the Jackie Robinson Master Set.

That Mantle Bowman is a special speciman, almost bought it myself but didn't have the funds to pull it off...looks pack-fresh

I had enough eBay bucks from my '52 Topps Mantle that I bought a couple months ago to get this for the bargain price of $7.47!

Doug:
That's probably the best $7.47 that you'll ever spend........ |
#13
|

|

I was thinking the same thing. That and I might actually be able to sell a card for a profit for once in my life!

Wow great pick up on that Ryan! I paid 100 for this one last month and thought it was an absolute steal. You now have me thinking I spent way too much

It wasn't really something I was looking for, I kinda just found it since I had to use those eBay bucks on something. I miss the Bing Cashback program they had where you got something like 8% credited to your PayPal account when you bought something with Buy It Now on eBay. I would have preferred to have had the $225 cash more than the card, but I suppose I can always put it on the BST when I get it.

I don't venture over here too often, but it seems like I'm gonna change that.
I really do love the '50's TOPPS cards, always have. I just can't get over how many cards posted here are absolute killers! WoW. Kudos to all are in order. Regards, Jimmy Last edited by thekingofclout; 10-09-2011 at 03:15 AM. |

Just finished a deal for this one. Wish I could afford a nicer one but I needed to fill the Robinson void in my collection since I sold my '53. Always liked this card.

52 Robinson
The 2012 edition of the SCD Catalog now lists 2 variations for this card, as well as the other double prints, Mantle and Thompson. It cites the reverse stitching on the back, although there are front differences as well, particularly for Mantle and Robinson

Very nice, Adam. Curious to know if there is a Pat Gillick photo from that set?

Wow, those Red Wings really are nice....great color!

Nice - Ozzie Virgil, Joe Altobelli and Don - is that Brummet, or Brummel? Don't recall him.

Thanks guys. My main collecting focus these days is post-war minor league issues, so this group was a pretty decent score for me. The players are: Ozzie Virgil, Joe Altobelli, Don Brummer.

Phil -
I've never seen an example of Gillick, nor is he in the 2011 Standard Catalog for this set. There are eleven cards listed with the key being Luke Easter. The set is probably not complete at eleven, so it's possible. Last edited by NewEnglandBaseBallist; 10-11-2011 at 12:44 PM. |

Today's mail...I am loving these corners. The auction scan looked good, but it was better than I thought.

sweet JRob - Are you going to get it graded?

I think you're talking to me because I don't see Jrob in the thread.
Yea, I'm not sure when, but when I pulled this Jackie out of the shipping envelope that was my first thought. If this doesn't pull at least an 8.5-9, I would be shocked. The back is flawless as well. I'm not a big grader, but I've only got 28 bucks invested so far and getting a 9 would certainly help that investment. |

I've been real low budget the last couple months......
A few more all time Cardinals - W517 of Bill Sherdel, Ray Sanders TCMA (I don't know if he has any other card) and some team cards. |

Matt, since you're collecting this set, maybe you know the answer. Is that 1954 Lasorda the only one in the set where the player goes beyond the border? Notice Tommy's glove goes to the edge of the card. I saw a few others where the player's arm or leg appears to be slightly over the color edge, but nothing as obvious as the Lasorda. That's something I hadn't really noticed before.

Interestingly, the Topps Archives version of the Lasorda card is cropped a bit differently (no bleeding in to the border)...here's a link to one. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1994-1954-TO...item563b9508e1

Borders on 54s
GHG--interesting point. Now I am going to have to look through my whole set and see what I find
On a quick check... on cards with white background it is hard to tell, but for instance on the 94 Banks card, his ass looks to be hanging out. Others I noticed : 19 Lipton--bat 25 Kuehn-glove 27 Faris-bat 42 Mueller--ass 44 Garver-sleeve 86 Herman--sleeve 159 Philly--bat 178 Lowry-bat 179 Allie--glove Last edited by ALR-bishop; 10-21-2011 at 01:27 PM. |

Been lurking here for a bit, figured my first Mantle was worth posting about. I've loved the 53 Topps set and Mantle in particular since I started collected the 99 Gallery Heritage cards in those old days when I collected modern, never pulled the trigger on the big one until this week though. It's a PSA 1, but I like it enough!

@tjlives
Very Nice 53 Mantle, I probably stand alone when I say this but I actually like that one better then his 52. Great cards everyone. I picked up a few along the way as well: Please enjoy.
