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.

That '80 Nolan Ryan is one of my favorite cards from the set. I just love the whole 1980 set. That will be one of the next sets I build.

Yeah 80 Ryan is one of the more beautiful cards around to me-- just the perfect storm of photo, colors, card design.
Just grabbed these off some ebay BINs. Love it when cards are sitting crooked in the holder in ebay listings; when you get them in hand and sit them flush for a scan they will look money. The Manager's Dream card is so slept-on-- the talent in that photo, and peep the background, is amazing. And finding a Molitor/Trammell with no PD or black dot in the Molitor box is always a treat.
