April Pickups

[Harliduck]

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...

[dealme]

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!

Great looking card, Ian.
Minoso's have really taken off since his HOF induction. Personally, I thought things would cool off not long after but that certainly isn't the case based on what I have seen.

John,

I'm not planning on it at the moment. As things stand now, the Schoendienst and the Feller are the only cards that are not in PSA slabs (Feller is in an SGC slab). If I were ever to consider selling the set, I might consider putting the two "outliers" in PSA slabs. But for now, I'm ok with them in their current states.

Picked this up from LOTG. I decided I could live with it being a little trimmed because I could never afford one that looked this nice otherwise. Besides, it seems like the cards in this set are very often miscut or varying in size so hard to say if it was trimmed or just cut this way originally. Either way, I was happy to get it.
