February Pickups

[DanP]

I finally finished my Stan "Musical" (as my wife calls him) display. It took me 2 years to find (and win) a decently centered 48 Bowman.

I'll post the display when I get a chance.

Nice pick up, Dan.
Yes, please post some shots of the display for the board to admire.

Great Winfield and Stan The Man. Both would look right at home with higher grades, too. Both are really slept on great cards: the Winfield for its amazing colors and the Stan because he was truly one of the very few best to ever play the game-- I always have felt he doesn't get the props he truly deserves from a hobby standpoint.

I thought that 75 Winfield was under graded too. The crazy thing is PWCC had 2 other 75 Topps Winfields that were PSA 8's (instead of SGC). The centering of the PSA 8's were not as good and they had some print problems (common with 75 Topps so I don't think it hurt their grade but it does hurt the eye appeal). The PSA 8's sold for 2.5X the price of the SGC 8 even though the card in the SGC holder was plainly superior to the other 2.

I'm just glad there are so many dummies out there who don't even look at the card condition and only look for PSA and a number beside it.

Amen to that. Their willing blindness creates some great finds for the rest of us! That Winfield was a real come up.

Just copped this insane Mays from Sean. The 51 Mays just does not routinely get found with this centering.

Wow, awesome Mays!!!!!

Very nice Winfield Auto RC, Rob.

Wow! Matty you did it again. Sign me up for a Mays with that centering any day. Well done.

Continued Progress against my '56 set. I was happy to put #135 in the rear view mirror...
