October Pickups

[GregC]

That Brett is outstanding. No smudge marks and centered. That needs to find it's way into a 9 holder at minimum.

Thanks for the the kind words on the Mantle pick up. Can't wait to get it in hand and introduce him to the rest of the Mantle Family!

Word up on Brett. Never found a Reggie with centering I liked until this, except for 9s and I just can't spent 6k on this card. Hoping for a 7.5 on this one, but 8 would be ideal. Name is not well registered and in a big scan makes me feel drunk (not a bad thing) but the centering was far too exceptional to let that get in the way. In hand will be less of an issue as well.

Matty, that's a sweet jax RC. I don't collect high grade or slabbed but I got very lucky and pulled this from a collection I purchased from the original collector:



My scan doesn't look as good as the card. I'd call it ex-mt but pretty well centered for the issue. Not bad for a few bucks...

Adam, Reggies centered like that are quite uncommon. The 69s in general have a huge tilt problem. Great score. The deep color on yours is just outstanding.

[GregC]

October has been a really strong month around here. Great picks ups all around.

Some nice low grades and the raw that popped now in slabs. Also, that raw Reggie came in the mail and is now at PSA. The color in hand was way better than the scan. Looks like a solid 7 with outside shot at a 7.5 or 8, depending on the luck.

This little 65 Mick PSA 3 is actually one of my favorite cards in my collection, alongside the PSA 2.5 53B. I found it raw at my local shop and the centering just blew me away. Love that card. I just can't find 65 Micks with that centering.

The Ricky is a real misgrade; should be am 8.5 or 9 but they killed it on that one glaring PD in the black. The corners are real sharp and centering's nice. Overall a nice card.

Sean laced me with the Yogi and Bob mad cheap so could not resist.

I just got these in, my first auction win from Brockelman & Luckey (hi Leon). Super fast delivery. Thanks to Scott and Leon both.

These are real beauties, and well centered. These are absolutely beautiful, imo.

Great pickup on those 53 Bowmans. I don't think I could tire of looking at any card in that set. Remarkable. Good job!

When 53B's are centered like that they are as beautiful to look at as any set ever made.

1962 Babe green tint, a tough '69 white letter in vg and a particularly nice '71 Nashy blob.
