May pickups 2013

[CobbSpikedMe]

David,

Are you going for a Carousel disc set? I've been thinking about going for a back run of all of these discs for just Jim Wynn in PSA slabs. I have one now and really like it. Of course it's the very common Isaly's back but when I got it in hand it really grew on me and made me want try for all the backs.

Thanks.

Yeah, I know, not a baseball card but they don't have a pickups thread over on the football side, and I didn't want to start an entire thread for one card. I thought about posting this in the lacrosse forum, as Jimmy was one of the greats in that sport as well, but I can't seem to find it.

Sharp Brown rookie! That's a tough one to pick up centered let alone perfect like yours!

I've got Lou Brock with every back. Relatively easy to do on E Bay. The toughest will be by far the cup lid, with Red Barn and the MSA ad back also somewhat scarce.

As for Carousel, I've got about 10 I think, I have no idea how many Carousel backs are out there, but they don't come up often, and frequently the same backs come up. I suspect many of the blank back ones were supposed to get a Carousel stamp but never did.

I think I had 18 diff Brooks Robinson Carousel backs (unfortunatly sold them 10+ years ago). A good resource for a list of those would be to track down Mets collector Dave Berman from NY. He had a pretty comprehensive list. His contact info shows up in SCD every once in a while.

Collecting in the 80's I found the Saga back to be most difficult for me with the MSA ad back second. Being in the great lakes region, I would occasionally find Red Barn in "misc" or $1.00 boxes from Wisconsin dealers, but agree that those are one of the toughest. For me, collecting MSA discs was one of the really fun parts of my Brooks Robinson collection.

Is there any reason why Topps would have the discs printed in Japan?

Unissued test set. There was also a SF Giants only set

I thought you'd have this... any interested in cutting off the Mantle and selling it to me for a good price? Just kidding obviously. As much as I'd like this, it would be such a shame to cut this up.

Awesome sheet!! I think this is the 1st time I've ever seen those with all the colors...I had a Brooksie, but it wasn't full color. Did any of this issue ever make into a finished "pin" product?

Cool piece. I made an offer but no luck. I believe a board member or two have an example of this card in their collections.
