JULY Pick-ups!

[JollyElm]

Bill,
I started upgrading some of my sets and with a couple of them, like 1970 and 1972, I've just been going full bore trying to complete them in nice shape with well centered cards. Here's a few more of my pickups from today...and you'll notice a nod to you in the top center position...

The in-action Billy Martin and Killer cards are impossible to find centered, so I'm pretty happy with these guys, even though the Killebrew has a somewhat diamond cut.

More great stuff.

I originally posted this in the pre-WWII July pick-ups thread like an idiot. I now have a nice raw 1948 Leaf Musial available for sale if anyone is interested.

Great looking card of The Man, Dan

One of the coolest cards in the hobby, Dan. That's a gorgeous "5", too, with great centering and registration (tough on that issue). Leafs can look a little weird sometimes, but when everything comes together and the stars align, look out.

Thanks guys...I'm very pleased with the card. I've had a few come and go over the years, but this one is definitely a keeper.

I always chuckle when I see Rollie without his mustache. He looks so different. He still sports it, thankfully. Here's a pic of him with my best friend and his daughter. He coaches her baseball team.

Is that Brett the fine art appraiser from Pawn Stars??

I thought the exact same thing

[the 'stache]

Yes, it is.

I moved to the Dallas area right before my senior year of high school (he and his family had just moved there from Tulsa, Oklahoma). We ran into each other on the tennis courts one day before school started, struck up a conversation, and have been close friends ever since.

He's truly one of the nicest people you will ever meet. Before I messed up my back, I'd usually fly out to Vegas every year, or every other year, to see him and his family.

I tell ya, it's a real trip seeing him on television. He looks pretty much the same as he did in high school (without the long hair, though). I keep asking him if he has a self portrait tucked away like Dorian Gray, lol.

So apparently the release of player Robert Ramazzotti made room on the club for Jackie Robinson back in 1947. At least that's what the auction said. Anyways I'm pretty excited to have this piece of Dodger history.

Neat item Colby. Maybe an old newspaper or baseball history search will turn up additional info you could keep or display with the item

[robsbessette]

Got this from a fellow board member. Pin hole up top. But real nice eye appeal!

[ALR-bishop]

Nice Rob and it is the scarcer variant with the white band on his arm

[robsbessette]

Had no idea there were variants. Thanks for pointing it out, Al. Can always count on you for those!!!

[67_Palmer]

Nice Mays!
