September Pickups

[jb217676]

Starting off the month with a C.1960 Ballantine Beer Roberto Clemente photo advertisement

Got me a 1975 Topps Mini complete set of the B/S/T. I've been wanting a set from my birth year and got a gem of a set.

[jb67]

Congrats on the set. Nothing like completing a set quickly!!

Thanks. Considering out of the 25 years of collecting, the only cards i've had was the Brett and Yount. I know its easy to buy it this way but I dont think I was going to ever get this set.

A great Clemente Ballantine Beer pickup. Very cool! I picked up these 2 Bench cards. I am only 2 cards away from finishing the basic set.

Picked up a few Exhibits.The Williams are regular and '63 stat back

Fairly new to the site, but I got my SGC package back yesterday, and was very excited to see the results of my 1969 Reggie Jackson and Joe DiMaggio. I will also throw in a pic of another DiMaggio card that arrived in the mailbox. Thought I would try and share these on the board.

[jb67]

Congrats Sean those are some nice grades. What company made the Jackson and Dimaggio card? I have not seen one of those before.

[JoeDfan]

Thanks!
These are from the 1969 Oakland A's Andersen set (also called Jack in the Box, erroneously). Not to be confused with the 1969 Oakland Broder (I have a DiMaggio Broder also).

[MikeGarcia]

Neat stuff...what is the printing on the label of the Robinson photo ? That looks like a Team Issue from the 1940's ?? Thanks and keep on the hunt.

[jb67]

Nice pickups on the exhibits. It is ironic that you posted these as I picked up 75 of them today that came along with a batch of other cards. I had no background on exhibit cards but did some research and learned a lot about the different years printed and how to tell. I will post a few of them later when I scan them.

Congrats ^^^ very cool card.

I don't think Clemente has an unattractive card in the hobby, and your '58 is a classic, Jon.

Here's a few that arrived in the past few weeks...

Great looking Campanella. The first time I have seen a Wilson Frank Campy. That 71 Clemente is hard to beat! Congrats on some nice pickups.

Forgot to mention the Fidrych! That is a high-end 9++ for sure. That card brings back memories of seeing all my friends imitating him when we would play pickup games back in the seventies.

Just picked up this nice 1954 Topps Phil Rizzuto thanks to the Net54 group break.

Jon, that Clemente is probably my all-time favorite vintage baseball card. It's neck and neck with a select few other cards, and my favorite from that group changes every couple of months. The next Clemente card I buy will be this one.

I like the centering on your Jackie. Picked this up, one of the best "6"s I've ever seen:

Steve,

Thanks for the response. I see you are a fan of Furillo. I am in the process of obtaining every main issue(Topps, Bowman) card produced of this great, underappreciated and misunderstood player. Only have a few to go. I got this 54 Bowman off eBay for what I considered to be a very good price considering the card's condition and centering. I will try to add a few of the other Furillo's that I have obtained in the last year.

Thanks again.

Duane

Picked these 2 up from 4reals.I really like the Dodgers regional stuff.

[bobc88]

I like the Dodgers regionals too. I picked up this nice '58 Bell Brand Pee Wee Reese today. 6 down, 4 to go.

1960 Topps Mantle

[gregr2]

Thanks, it's my first Jackie card.

[MattyC]

This 4 just came to join his brothers-- but it looks like my brother will be getting the beautiful SGC 4.5; at least it stays in the family...

I actually want that 2.5 but I'll take the 4.5 if I must. Damn you and your centered Mantles. How am I ever going to get my 52 Topps if I keep buying your hand me downs? Hell, it's way better than the hand me down Osh Kosh overalls I'd get from you as a kid...

[bobc88]

Nice '57 Hodges.
