May Pickups

[G1911]

Pickups from a local show.

the 52 Cavaretta leaves me only needing Mays and Boyer to finish 1-310.

A 53 Groat with the Black Text variety, almost finished that variation run.

a tough 1950 Bowman no copyright. I had a 51 Rolfe but it's trimmed, needed the 52's for the cream stock variation run.

Some out of focus 57's including a red tint Dick Williams (1957's come in multiple obvious tints) that were $2 a pop.

61 Larsen was $6, 66 Jackson was $75. I hate the 66 Jackson, it's rarity reputation is a myth.

The stack of Post's were $1-$2 each.

The Trodden may or may not be autographed, but 50 cents for a Washington maybe signed seemed worth it.

The 1911 Obak was $20, which is pretty good I think.

I was pleasantly surprised to find this one.

Two of my favorite players in decent mid-grade for fairly cheap prices. Couldn't resist.

An out-of-plastic experience...

I can't remember a time when so many ungraded cards were regularly appearing in monthly pickups threads. What a beautiful thing!!! Graded card prices are getting more and more ridiculous by the day, so it seems a lot of us are finding good buys in the non-plastic world, as well as in downtown slabville.

Raw rules!

Ooh, baby, I like it raw
Yeah, baby, I like it raw
Ooh, baby, I like it raw
Yeah, baby, I like it raw

Shimmy shimmy ya, shimmy yam, shimmy yay
Gimme the mic so I can take it away
Off on a natural charge, bon voyage
From the home of the Dodgers, Brooklyn squad

I like 76T's - they remind me of the 61T's. And Eck has a Clint Eastwood thing going.

That's what happens when you shut down PSA and then jack up the prices when they do reopen.

I'm only needing three from the '52 low numbers, and Mays and Boyer are two of the three. I think I'm a day late on the Mays.

Just added this sharp 6 to my Topps era HOF pitcher project.

26 down, 14 to go…

You and me both sir. The Mays is now outside the range I consider reasonable for a second year Mays, even though he's my favorite of the post-war stars. Boyer is in one of the SP rows, I haven't wanted to pay $25 for him but I'm about to give up and just get it.
