Very nice, Tony!
A few more purchased late January but with February arrivals. (Les Moss and Joe Muir are upgrades due to wrinkling in my originals)

Killer Sparky!
Irv - Way to go. How many do you have now? Tony - That Mantle is off the charts! Way to go my friend. Neal - That Jackson holds a special place for me. Yours is an amazing mid-grade. Nice pick -up. RayB

Doesn't fit anything I'm currently working on but all this talk about mid grade inspired me to chase this one.
Not sure you can find a better 5. This one really jazzed me.

Ray--
I agree with your assessment on your killer '52 Bowman Hodges. Your mid-grade has ultra-high grade appearance, and really, that's what counts. I love it!!!! The same thing happened to me with a 1951 Bowman Sammy Baugh. I bought it in the 70s 'cause I love the looks of the card, and the colors on mine are off the charts. Nevertheless, it came back a PSA 5. I'm not looking to upgrade! ![]() If you're a big Gil Hodges fan, I would like to point you to a common card today with mesmerizing appearance and an enthralling story. Go to eBay, and search for Dormand Gil Hodges PSA. A MINT specimen can be had for very little, though watch for the pesky print spots and a fish-eye in the rich dark green grass. Not that many years ago, that PC was the white whale in the Dormand PC set. I discuss the find in my book, NEVER CHEAPER BY THE DOZEN. I personally bought an SGC mint specimen from a board member here, and it looks super in their holder. A Dormand Hodges will probably never rise much in value, but it is so beautiful and was made in that great era of 1952 to 1955. Not trying to hijack anything, just thought I would put in a plug for the Dormand Gil. No, I only own my one copy! There's few of you who don't know about this beauty. ---Brian Powell ---Brian Powell |

I don't own any, but the Dormand's are very pretty cards and of course some of those stars can be had in nice shape for a fraction of the price of a comparable Topps or Bowman issue.

I waited a long time to find this card. Best 6 I could find and paid a bit of a premium for it but not the sky high prices of higher grades. My main concern was finding one with no print issues, especially in the yellow area on the left. Sorry the photo is lame.
Go Dodgers! |
