April Pickups

Nice pickups, Darren. Love that 70 Namath diamond cut.

I got this in a trade this morning.

The nice (but misguided) guy I bought most of those cards from always has maniacal prices, and you can basically see 99.9% of the same cards in his cases at each and every show he does, because none of his waaaay overpriced stars ever sell. Unfortunately, the collecting world has changed and what used to be the top is now the bottom, so I decided to dig in a bit and realized he still had yesteryear prices on everything (some of the stickers were so brittle from being affixed for so long that they fell off!). Still high, but reasonable enough after some negotiation to make it worthwhile to grab a bunch. Alas, now I sure wish I had bought even more, because by the time the next show rolls around, he will certainly 'new sticker' everything to return his pricing back to the stratosphere where he's most comfortable.

Indeed it is.

Great pickups all...


I bought my first ever postcard. I missed out on this one in the BST recently and was really transfixed by the photo...and was looking for one ever since. I'll be sending it in to SGC once I get it in my hands. Don't care about grade, just love this picture...

53-55 Dormand Mantle Postcard...

Picked up this '48 Bowman Schoendienst a week or so ago. This was the last card I needed to complete my '48 Bowman set (all graded at least 5). Fortunately, I started that adventure close to seven years ago, and I picked up all but three cards (with Red being the most prominent of the three) prior to the 2020 card boom.

On a related note, this is the first CSG slab in my collection, and I have to say that I'm relatively pleased with the product.

Cheers,

Mark...are you going to re-slab that with their new design? I have to admit, their new looking slab is pretty sweet. Great card!


Starting to now get obsessed with these 1953-55 Dormand postcards, the photography is amazing. Up to 6 now, and picked up the other Mantle variation...




Also picked up the famous Gil Hodges. A quick search here on net54 and I learned about the discovery of 700 cards that rendered at one time one of the rarest post war items to everyone now able to finish off their sets. Cool story, and I am sure my new Gil is from that find.



Couple more pick ups...






My Gil and 2 Mick's will all be subbed to SGC...lovin' these!
