It's a little rough, but it is mine!

Another 1964 Topps Stand-Up (a tough SP, no less) and for any of you who know the struggle of chasing a high grade 1972 Topps set, I present you with two of the absolutely toughest (I'm talking ridiculously impossible!) 'In Action' cards to find decently centered...

About time i have something to show
Its been since late Feburary since i last posted a pick/up (my Clemente RC)
It was a point where i didnt know if i would see another or just keep adding to my funds. I bidded in many of the lastest auction houses to end up with 'nadda' 'zero' and 'zilch'
Maybe it was a sign, because i ended with a very nice addition (a little bit more than i wanted to, got maxed bidded)
But it would go nicely with my 51 wheaties photo....since it claims to pass PSA/DNA and JSA...most certainly will have it sent in and protected.

Here it is:

Nice piece Chris! I am glad to see you won it. I think it might be a tad big to get it encapsulated though. Not sure their size guidelines but I believe it is a bit larger than the Wheaties photo. If you are curious/interested, I'll compare them tonight to check for you.

They stated it was a 8x10 photo. I am waiting to here from the AH about having it certified PSA/DNA. Wonder if they just send it themselves and have it done and what cost? It most likely be done like my Ruth R/C photo, which is like a hard plastic holder, but if it be slabbed, that be awesome too.

UPDATE:
M. Krymer replied that JSA will be there early June if i decided to use them. If not, they would have to send to PSA/DNA. From what i understand, this is for a LOA.
So, this mean it will be one of those certified letters deals?? and would cost 65.00.

I'll get this one in just under the wire. Actually picked it up earlier in the month.

Always thought that was a pretty badass image of The Mick. Cool piece!

Great pick up Chris.

My last one for the month....as a Phillies fan, this one means a lot.

Scans aren't the best, but I picked these up to kill off my 1969 Topps set. Pretty happy with the Mick and the other two will be freed from their slabs and join the rest of the set in pages and a binder.

Congrats on finishing the set Rob, and with a very nice group of cards

Congrats on the completion. I am about 50 away on mine.

Thanks! I just got it in person. It reminds me a bit of the 59 Bazooka. It looks nice enough on line but there is something awesome about it in person given its larger than average size. I wish it was in better condition, but my budget couldn't handle a nicer card while still leaving room in the bank for the 54 and 55 were they to ever surface.

There was one in the BST thread on a 55 stahl poor-1
May be a little too high, but from a good source and open to trade.
