May pickups

[Bestdj777]

I have been searching for this one for years but kept missing out on it. Even with it being trimmed along the top, I am please to add this to my collection (only 1 ever graded on PSA, so somewhat difficult to find in any condition):

I have also noticed, like mine, although more rarely than anything, the blackish mark on the top border.

When I first seen it, I assumed it was a stain or pen/ink mark but I have notice similar marks, almost in the identical location on more than a few.

Now that I have the one I own, I am debating to get it slabbed or just purchased another one that is already slabbed?

I don't know what it is? Maybe having 2 iconic, HOF players on the same card, or just the fact it's the only card the pair ever appeared on together, but whatever it is, this card did and continues to put a big smile on my face.

Not so much a pickup, as a dump truck full of cards this month.

Picked up this gargantuan collection from a friend who does high end estate sales.

Was more than he could deal with, and probably more than I can, but who turns this down??

Wow!

Would love just one of those Hank Aaron RC's, let alone the Banks RC and the 56 Mantle.

Will probably be offering up a good part of the collection here on Net54, once several of the items come back from PSA.

I'm keeping one of the Aarons, and sold another to help out a fellow board member who was working on a raw set, but most of the rest of the stuff will show up on here over a long period of time.
Net54 will always get first crack!


--and Peter, nice '59 Musial. Always been partial to that card myself, and near-impossible to find great centering on that issue.

Not everyday a guy's single day pickup beats most of our entire collections!

Great to hear, but highly unlikely I will be able to afford an Aaron let alone some of the other ones.

I will still keep an eye out however.

Hard to tell from the pics, what sort of condition was the estate find in?

Absolutely. The condition is midgrade to lower in general, I'd say.
That said, I'm excited to get PSA results on a fair number of cards -- 54 Banks, 55 Aaron, 61 Maris and Koufax, and 86 Jordan in particular look very, very good, and the '60 Fleer set is uniformly pack-fresh.
Going to be a lot of 4's and 3's for the other cards, I reckon. Still nice eye appeal throughout.

The sheer number of key cards for the hobby across baseball, basketball and football has made the collection a joy to go through.
Iconic cards, regardless of grade, never fail to excite!

Holy. Hell.
