Took a couple of months off buying cards in order to take the family to Disney World. Also sold a couple of really nice sets on here that funded the entire trip. My wife will never curse my baseball card hobby collection again. LOL

Any way..........picked up this '58 Topps WS Batting Foes card to ad to my Aaron collection. Also picked up this 1951 Bowman Warren Spahn.

That Aaron/Mantle is one of my favorites, and yours is a helluva specimen. Two of the greatest sluggers ever, at the top of their games and going head to head in the World Series! Off hand, I can't even think of a parallel.

It's funny reading the back of the Mantle/Aaron. Topps surmised that the Mick might someday pass Ruth when in fact it was the guy standing right next to him. (Or if the focus was single season, a Cleveland Indians RC in that same set.)

There's a sighting of one of the biggest cards one could get-- and a real nice looking one at that! Props.

Another mid grade Spahn pick up. What would his legend be if he were a Yankee ? Glad he was a Brave though !

Thanks matt, definitely the biggest card in my collection although I can think of a couple in yours I'd love to add one day.

Congrats on the Bowman Mantle rookie. That is a dream card. Maybe some day I will land a nicely centered one. Words cannot do it justice when describing.

Just added my first Ryan rookie to my collection. I had been looking to get a nice looking mid-grade example for while and finally landed this one.

Awesomeness JB. In my opinion the Ryan/Koosman RC is the biggest card of the 1960s and thereafter.

That ryan looks great for the grade. Hard to find centered left to right.

Very nice stuff, guys!

The Mantle RC is really nice.

I looked at that 1964 VTopps Mantle and decided not to buy it, fortunately for you; that seller had some very reasonable BINs and he FedExed the cards up from Venezuela, which was a nice surprise. I picked up the Retirado Ford he listed.

Default Speaking of Nolans...
Just got the new one in hand; def looks like a MB version mislabeled, which is cool! Here's the group/family shot (a product of hoarding and leaping at any centered ones I happen across over the years).

yes, since we cant see the flip (smiley face), I assume it is an earlier version flip wise. don't think psa started designating until 2007ish, I believe...

I think if you want to send it to them they will correct it at no charge...

Thanks Adam. I am glad you did not pull the trigger as I love the card. I have a PSA Authentic up on eBay now if you are still looking to add one (shameless plug).

There seem to be some print marks (or worse) near the bottom, but I wasn't too worried at $3. One of the few 1976 Topps HOFers I didn't have yet.

nice berra, herb! I have been quietly stashing away his rooks for a solid year or so. such an undervalued card, imo.

Could not agree more with you on this one.

KingFisk are you a Tigers fan? Couple of nice rookies you have picked up.

Not much of a budget this month, so here comes a big step down from the Mantle and Ryan rooks we've seen in this thread...

I am slowly completing a collection of the top 60 or so players from this set, entirely for sentimental reasons.

Jason, the Leflore card brings back memories when he first joined the Tigers. If I remember correctly he had done some time in prison. Growing up in Michigan he was a big deal back in the day.

I remember watching "The Ron Leflore Story" as a kid. Yep, prison, I think it was armed robbery.

Thanks, JB! Actually a Phillies fan, just happened to pick up two Tigers legends in the same week. I was after the Freehan for awhile - one of the overlooked greats of the game, truly. Not many 11 time All Stars that are becoming lost to history...

Dude, if you "upgrade" that I am ready to take it off your hands. I'd consider it an "upgrade" to a PSA 7 I once owned!
