February pick up thread

[JollyElm]

Had a blast today (if "blast" can be defined as being crammed into an overcrowded, tight space with 99% of the tables vending the shiny stuff, while everyone used their bulky backpacks to turn the room into a human pinball machine) at a show today, and negotiated like hell to bring home some serious eye (appeal) candy at pretty nice prices.

The 1954 #1 Teddy Ballgame is the best PSA 3 I will ever see (and it's newly graded), the 1969 #95 Johnny Bench is deliciously centered and sharp, and it's everybody's favorite card from that era. With the 1961 Mantle HR card, it comes down to this: if you can find any decent looking Mantle card for under $100, you jump...

The Bench is not even close to centered. Did you put the wrong card up? But Northrup and Hodges sure are keepers.

Gee, surprise, surprise, more snark from you. I like the centering a lot. If you don't, who cares?? Move on.

Nice pickup’s Darren, they all look tasty.

Nice stuff, Darren! That Bench is my favorite of the group. That's one I'll eventually need for my '69 set. Looking forward to it!
