March Pickups

very nice 68 rose! I love 8.5's. can usually snag for a fraction of what a 9 goes for and usually no difference in the quality of the card.

i've been working on the mad hungarian basic topps set. don't even think he has that set requested on the psa site, but usually that tends to work in my favor price wise....

here's a few that arrived today:

For my 1956 Set


For my Clemente Set



Both are a little more OC than I would like, but I got these well below VCP average, so I couldn't pass them up!

Yossarian thanks for the props.

begsu1013 those are two very nice looking 9's of the Mad Hungarian. Hard to find cards in both of those sets centered. I had forgotten about his nickname. Thanks for sharing.

Upgrade for my 75 Topps set. Already had a PSA 7 specimen but this SGC 7 is centered better.

When I first saw a copy of this card as a kid, I thought that the black thing on Nolan's sleeve was an errant Sharpie mark...

Bob, nice Mad Hungarian cards! It reminds me of watching baseball with my grandfather in the 70's. My grandpa would just bust up when Al would wind himself up to make a pitch. Great baseball days! I thank my grandpa for introducing me to baseball. I miss him!

thanks luis! ironically enough, my grandpa lives in st. pete, fl where the cardinals used to do spring training and he himself was a decent minor league pitcher. anyways he loved him as well and later in his career he ended up in Atlanta where I got to seem him play. anyways, he was quite the character on and off the mound. we used to get kicks on his pre-pitch physic-up behind the mound. can see it in this clip here around the 52 second mark...love the fact that the batter thought the straight heater was coming and the mad Hungarian just lobs a hanging fork ball in there! HYSTERICAL.
