October Pick Ups

Probably would have cost $59 also.

Thanks a lot, guys! I'm definitely excited for that Landis most of all.

Jeff, McCarver or no McCarver, those photos are top notch. You gotta love the look of old Crosley field back then, especially with all of those buildings out back. It's amazing to think that in the 40s, it was even more colorful, as all of those buildings behind the fences had advertisements all over them.

Check it:





Man, I would have loved to have gone to a place like this when I was young. And by 'young', I mean 32.

Those are really cool Graig. Almost makes you feel like your there!

A bit embarrassing to post amidst such great items, but love being apart of Net54 and just wanted to contribute a piece that I've always been drawn towards.

Most of you probably understand that in being an Indians fans, you're restricted to a small group of players when it comes to collecting 'the greats' of the organization. I've always had such a draw towards the 58 Maris card and finally ran across one that was in by no means good condition, but at least had some rich color and decent clarity. Not even sure if it would register a number with PSA because of the crease at the bottom, but I love the card moreso for the story it tells and honestly for the emotion it invokes to see Roger Maris in an Indians uniform.

Just wanted to share my October pickup.

Nice Maris mine is in similar condition. Do you have a Jerry Dybzinski to go with that gem?

Something about this actually made me laugh out loud. Maybe it's the visual of Dybzinski or the simple memory I have of my dad relishing in the day the tribe got Tabler for JD. My dad loved some Tabler, so Jerry's name has always been fresh in my mind.
