May get some graded. Also Attached are a few of my first pickups. They aren't as great as many I've seen on here, but it's my "starter lot". Comments on grade-ability of any of the cards would be appreciated.

Chris, I had to comment on the 1960 Mantle. While I don't think it would grade much higher than a 5 due to corner and edge issues, it is still an impressive copy for a couple of reasons. The 1960 mantle is often off-centered, has horrible registration, or has print defects (usually yellow markings in the red area). This card is free of these common flaws. The centering is fantastic. The image is extremely clear and registered, and it is free of print defects. Very nice mid-grade card.

Had a great couple weeks for the cardboard collection.

Picked up a nice Boog & Brooks for my sets.
Also nabbed a great-looking Eddie Murray RC
The Marichal has a dinged corner that I'm guessing a grader missed, but the rest of the card looks dynamite.






(I also added a new keystone to my collection, a T206 Mathewson! See the Pre-War Forum for that beauty.)

Wow, congrats Ian!

Not the greatest centered card, obviously, but super clean/clear and crisp.

Variant card Irv. Actually listed as such in the H&S Super set.

Light/dark variation, Al? It is also an UER card which has his wrong DOB. Should be 1918, not 1919, which you likely already know.

Is there any sort of premium between the light and dark variations?

Thanks.

[ALR-bishop]

Nope. Not sure it was DP but the differences seem to exist in aplenty in both shades

That '77 is a beauty. Very under rated set, and tough in top condition. Thin card stock, chipping, and centering plague the set.

Just won this beaut at auction for my 52 Topps First series set. My goal is as perfectly centered cards as possible, and I just HAD to get this Hudson, which is a rather tough card to find well centered:

..busy month ; Kaline is one of my few '67's even though I'm starting to like the classy lay-out of the design , AND : I might as well go for the rest of the #1 through #310 on the 1952 Topps set ....I just realized how many I already have, many just by accident...centering's a wicked pissah though.....if I stay away from the PSA's it shouldn't be too astronomical.., he said hopefully
