Picked up this Aaron that I already had. I couldn't help myself. It's the one card I remember seeing in my dad's shoebox before he sold them for $50.

Love the reason behind that Aaron pickup; I think we all have a card or two that connects to a good memory or moment like that.
Thanks JB! Knew I had to pick this up the second I saw it. Been doing an early Ryan run through 77 and was amazed at how tough the 73 is to find with eye appeal. Auction just ended seconds ago, so the scan from ebay here is a bit crooked; will take a scan with it sitting flush in holder upon arrival...

On that Home Run Derby Killer, you sure bought the card and not the number. What a killer of a Killer!!! Congratulations on getting that rare card. The eye appeal on that one makes it one of Harmon's top ten, easily. Again, way to go, collecting bro.

Yeah that 76 Yount would look right at home if the sticker said 10, but we all know the dif btw the best 9s and any 10 is just the mood of a grader that day. Would much rather have the 9 as a collector.
You never see those Derby cards. The cool thing about that one is the photo captures a side of him that's cool and edgy, not just the smiling portrait so prevalent in that era. That Brett would be a LOCK 9 or shot at 10 without that PD up top; regardless it is one of the nicer examples. No tilt. Left-right is just gorgeous. Kept sifting through ebay like an old gold-miner last night came up on some more hidden gems... Bench will sit flat in holder when tapped and look sick; paying for an 8 or 9 would make me feel like a fool after seeing this 6 look the same for a mere fraction... Never saw a 75 Schmidt without PD... And have always loved every aspect of the 1980 Ryan-- colors, image, All Star banner...

Great pickups MattyC. I love the Ryans and look forward to seeing the Mantle run when it is finished.
