I picked this up because the prices for everything I actually need for my collection seem to have spiked substantially recently (anyone out there with a 1960 Venezuelan Mantle/Boyer or a Meadowgold Dairy Mantle?). I purchased this as a "proof," but my assumption is that it was just hand cut off of a sheet that made its way out of the factor. Would love to know if any of you think I am wrong on that (the back is complete as well):

@pokerplyr80...Thats a stunning Clemente RC.
Guys, This is one of those weeks, everything hits me all at one time. Earlier i got the Nolan Ryan RC, then just yesterday i got the Milton Bradley version of it. Saying that i would of gotten a Mays RC before them. WELL..... ITS ONE OF THOSE WEEKS I had no idea my bid was even strong enough at the time, it held up for several days on end and i was maxed out...thinking yeah i getting a email saying outbidded. Woke up today and found an invoice instead. MAYS 51 Bowman RC ....Holy Donkey Shitz!! I know its off-centered, but i got it more for its vibrant color and none of those print lines.

That is a pretty impressive week. Very nice looking Mays. That one is on the very short list of cards I'm looking to pick up some time soon.

Pretty sure it was meant in jest; our boy Chris had the kind of month every collector dreams of with Nolans and the Mays. Browsing all the cards in this thread is a real treat. So many absolute jewels. How rare is it just to see examples like that Musial and Maris or that 52 Mick with such centering! That 56 card that looks like a 10. Milton Bradley trophy cup Carew! Venezuelan Mick, Torre RC, that Bowman Furillo (my late grandfather's favorite), a centered Aaron RC, Aaron HR Derby! That Herb Score 61 that looks Gem, a Wilson Franks, that Al Oliver Auto, that 62 Clemente, the best centered 63 Mick ever, that quad shot with freak centered 58 Mays and 67 Rose, that yellow 58 Ted, the Bowman 50 Ted that is a 5 in a 2 holder-- and that's just what I remember from this month off the cuff LOL.
What an unbelievable month to be a card lover and be on this thread. This is really the nexus and epicenter of cards online. To be able to see all that stuff here in one place in ANY condition, that's really special. It's easy to forget that day to day. But looking back at how choice each example is, looking so much better than the tech grade-- just DAMN! Now I got the fever and gotta scour the bay! Last edited by MattyC; 06-28-2015 at 12:17 AM.

Milton Bradley bandwagon
Quote:
1951 Bowman Willie Mays.jpg I jumped on the MB Ryan bandwagon tonight. I'd passed on a couple 1-2 years ago, and figured I'd grab one now as they seem to be heating up a bit. 1968 Topps Milton Bradley Nolan Ryan.jpg

Leaf Stan Musial
Thanks for the nice comments everyone! Really regretted selling my Leaf Musial PSA 7 about a year ago. With rookie cards of his contemporaries such as Williams, Mantle, Mays, Aaron, and Clemente going for such strong prices...I've always felt Stan and his cards have been undervalued for the longest time considering his place in baseball history. It's nice to see Musial's Bowman and Leaf rookies, especially in "7's" and "8's" going for such strong prices the past few months. I'm glad I could add this mid-grade gem to my collection without breaking the bank.
Btw...nice pickups as usual guys!

@Ian: Nice Mays Rc and Nolan Ryan Rc you got. Like i mention the Mays was a total suprise. I finally got my MB Ryan today. I held both the Topps and MB side by side and noticed the differences (front & backs) In fact the 5 Topp looked better than the 6 MB, but the MB had better color, it was more natural tone than compared to the Topps. I had to look back at Begsu's collection (BTW is great!) and noticed the Topps had more of the sunburn look especially on Koose.
@Jerry: Love that Stan. I might have to add one of those to go with my Paige/Jackie Rc's of that set. Sidenote: I am on hiatus for now, burned a hole right thru the wallet with that unexpected Mays RC. So, i will start selling my football RC's and make room for more baseball as well. Plus, college football is nearing, and i go into a mole-hole for months. Go Gators! (tho i live in Ga)

I hear you there...my want list items seem to keeping creeping up and up like a helium balloon perpetually out of reach. I did cross a few more off my list this week. Would have liked Pete with a little less discoloration on the blue corners, but otherwise the card has great colors and looks great in hand. Last edited by KingFisk; 06-13-2015 at 11:04 AM.

ok, snagged this thursday night. was listed as a buy it now or OBO at a stellar price to begin with. seriously thought it was a scam. fired off a ridick offer and guy said that price was fine if we did it off ebay and thru FF (red flag). again, thought it was a scam so I hit the "buy it now" for 3 reasons:
1. even at the BIN price it was a steal..if legit. 2. if I could grab it at what i offered thru the BIN it was grand larceny..if legit. 3. if it was a scam, then at least someone w/ less knowledge wouldn't get burnt. so, get the guy's paypal address, he wanted FF but i sent $200 more via reg paypal via amex to cover the fees and that it must be shipped for sat delivery. I'm double protected, so what the hell... well fri rolls around and i get a UPS tracking number via email around 2:00 still not convinced. try tracking it and says "label has been created, yada yada yada. still not dropped off" i've purchased something like this before and have got a tracking number. some were never dropped off and one was even sent to savannah, but to some completely random address. anyways, it was friday and after a long day we went and had some drinks. it was on my mind but not pressing. i honestly thought it was a scam. but like i said, i've played this game before and knew that i was covered. might i have to make a few phone calls if it went south? sure. but it was definitely worth the risk! again, it was a long friday, topped off w/ several crown/gingers/lime w/ a splash of water so i never checked to see if it was dropped off...well i woke up this AM to the UPS truck in my driveway, the doorbell ringing, dogs barking and the wife saying "who the hell is that this early on a saturday morning"....i just grinned and thought to myself "hangover is either going away instantly or be severe"!!!!!! box was small and felt a lil light. could it just be an empty box? of course. that's happened too. well open her up, sift thru the 8 peanuts in the box and low and behold there is something in "a" piece of bubble wrap. looks like a mantle. so, i go thru the normal protocol...case looks good, check! black light test, check! double check images online vs card in hand, check! it is altered, but i knew this via flip and the guys listing even stated it. border was built up on right hand side about a 3/4" (neck high, black light test image below), but the centering is fn crazy for this card and the price could absolutely not be beat...

begsu1013 - nice story and great looking Mantle, it presents very well. Just goes to show one never knows what they can find on ebay.
Any idea what was used to build that border back up? I will hoist a crown and ginger as a toast you on this pickup tonight.

yossi,
no clue what was used to build it up but i think whoever did it, knew what they were doing. if anyone knows the process, I'm quite curious now... i just know that the paper used prior to '55 (i think) does not glow under black light. when i was putting together my 52 set someone enlightened me to this. the only thing i woulda suggested, and don't know if it's possible, would have been to use "pre-war" paper vs the new glowing paper. this lil tidbit saved my arse on the jackie robinson card but absolutely crushed the guy I was going to buy it from when he saw it glow.... and cheers!!!
