May Pickups...

Pretty good mail day today. Yeah, there are some centering issues, but for the price, they don't bother me much. Especially with the Brooks - it's hard to find a decent one that doesn't cost an arm and a leg.

Dammit! I even rotated the image before I saved it so it would upload right. Why does it do that every single time??

Andrew...those are some fantastic pick ups! I'm looking for a similar Mick right now and I'd trade my Carl listed earlier for yours all day long...nice stuff! I love a good mail day...

Thanks! Carl has some stray black ink smudging (kind of like the dark equivalent of snow?) but is otherwise pretty nice. I already had one, but, like you, I couldn't resist a good deal with prices on his rookie rising lately.

I've wanted one of these for a long time and finally found one I liked at what seemed to be a reasonable price. The scan is a little unforgiving -- in life, the snow isn't so prominent. My favorite Topps Clemente card.

Wanted this card for years but it never fit into whatever I was collecting at the time. Still doesn't but stopped procrastinating.

Congrats! One of my favorites and a card that actually looks better to me a little careworn, just like Satch.

Centering on 1967 Topps #600 is damn near impossible. I’m not a huge centering guy anyway, I just don’t like cards that are miscut or close to it - so for that one I found a PSA 5 that was centered well enough for me and just ran with it. Brooksie IMO is one of the more eye-popping cards in the entire set. Nice pickup!
