I was able to grab this 1973 Al Kaline variation with a bandage on his forehead. For some reason it's in a GMA holder, though. I had no idea Good Morning America branched out into card grading…

love those 53's! and please keep posting those print variations pick ups. i love learning about those....

i know it's hockey, but goes w. my hof rook collection. kinda a beater, but it had my trifecta: nicely centered both border and oil drip wise. it has the blue lines on the back making it a 1st print run and it was inexpensive...

Finally found one with decent centering

Dang it! As a Tiger collector I didn't know about this variation. Thanks for posting it and letting me know.

Great Newtons! I love your collection of them. Such an awesome idea.

Some final upgrades for my '56 set. Now only Martin, Cubs team, Giants team, A's team, and taking my J. Robinson from PSA 5 to PSA 6 for a very, very sold Ex-Mt+ set throughout. All 34 HOFers are graded.

Clemente came today. I had to sign for it. I don't lie or hide things from my wife but it is better for her health and blood pressure if we can avoid the "how much did that cost" conversation. I had the cash put away in anticipation of finding the right one - so no harm, no foul. I only say this to justify working from home so I could monitor the mail truck and meet the mail lady at the door.

Since 2:30 today, I have been to the safe 4 different times to take it out and look at it. It feels like Christmas morning. I can only imagine what it will be like when I finally get back to #311 or one of the Ruth's!

I don't know if it is only because I have been actively shopping but it felt like the 6's really spiked lately. Now that I have one on hand, the price will go back down. There was a really nice 4 in REA that went for 1700 plus BP. It might have just been an undergraded anomaly.
