April Pickups

With an eye like that, I cannot wait to see what he picks up if he gets into the hobby! Left right centering and amazing deep yellow!

Mantle, Mays, Aaron, Koufax and Ruth. Ridiculous pick ups this month.
Excellent work, gentlemen.
April has been a hell of a month around here

DanP, those are some very nice rookies you have scored on. Congrats! They looked great for the grade.

That is one enormous rookie haul up there, DanP! That's a mini collection in one shot.

And let's single out that Blyleven-- hits the eye so far better than the grade. A prime candidate to be shown in a scan with its pesky flip cropped out LOL!

Here's one that gets really slept on and needs more hobby love: a 1959 card that memorializes one of the most famous moments in the history of the game. I realized that when I take my son through the collection, and he meets the players and learns of them, this great moment should definitely be in there. It's also a toughie to find centered. I went shopping for this one and went down the line of VCP past sales in its grade, and couldn't find one as centered going all the way back to 2013.

The first panel is so iconic-- an image I somehow knew of even as a kid growing up in the 80s. And the hat falling off in the second panel is just mad flavor.



This is the in-hand scan of the 51 Berra PSA 3 scooped off eBay last week. So bright and clean. Have two now so have a feeling my brother's collection is about to get hooked up with a great Berra.



Just got this off a fellow board member in the BST.

As a continuation of my 'nothing substantial' run, here are three more 72's that can never be found this well centered…

Matt a definite +1 on the Mays catch card. That is one of the games if I could go back in time and watch I would put that one towards the top.

Also that 70's Aaron was a sweet pickup. I almost pulled the trigger on that one as I contemplated and went back it was gone.

Thanks for the reminder on the Berra card. I remember seeing a near perfect centered one a while back and did not pull the trigger. Kicking myself for passing on that one. You continue to lead the way. Well done!!!
