Finally got what I think is one of the most iconic cards in the hobby today in the mail. One of my new favorite cards

[clydepepper]

Sweet one, Nats

[clydepepper]

I purchased the first one before I heard the news tonight. RIP


I just needed the Casey card.

In my effort to one day put together a (nearly) perfectly centered, combination graded/non-graded 1972 Topps set, I added these three guys. You can regularly find them in PSA 9 at reasonable prices, but the usual centering/tilting issues make them less worthy of the heavenly status of a 9 (insert the sound of angels singing). This trio is much closer to perfection than the ones that generally come up for sale, plus I love Buddy Harrelson...

Favorite card of the 70s and brutally tough condition wise:

Looks like the "54" is off to another solid start of monthly acquisitions, still can`t get over the 71 Ryan. With those black borders 9`s just don`t exist. Have been looking for a presentable Mays to pair up with this Mantle and figured I`d better get going before these Mays "leave the dock" for us small fries. Came up with a kind of 1952 Bookends. Great stuff guys, keep them coming.........

One thing is for sure, not all PSA 1 "poor" cards are created equal! That Mays has incredible eye appeal. Great pickup!

Wow, very strong eye appeal on both. Nice job and they look great together. It seems like all of the iconic cards are pulling away from the dock these days.

September postwar so far. I’ve randomly been picking up Allen cards that I think are nice. I think he may be the single most underrated player from the era at the moment.

Got this one in the mail today. Now down to just #65 to complete the lower grade raw set. This is part of my Happy25 eBay coupon haul.

I really like this, Ben. If the rest of your set is like this one, then it sounds like a great project! Good luck on finishing!

Yep a set of lower end raw cards. Just been picking up a few here and there for a couple years now. At one time I had one of the nicest SGC graded complete sets. Love the set just decided I wanted a raw set instead of the graded one.

This is my big September pickup so far. So happy to add it:

[GasHouseGang]

Great Cobb card, but you should put it on the front page pickups. They'll ooh and aah over it for sure!

[mintacular]

Love that 54 Berra, and many more others. Three back from a sub, the '72 Ryan I knew would not grade high. The 73 Schmidt I'm fine with. The Corsair pretty happy with a 7 Thanks, Pat

[71buc]

I added a couple of Clemente the Topps is an upgrade and the 1972 Pro Star Promotions is the first one in my collection.

[TUM301]

Really great items guys, keep them coming. Is it me or does it seem like this month is really off the charts. Super High end 71`s, Schmidt Rooks, and 9`s like there going out of style and oh yah, a beautiful early Cobb for the hell of it. Just a thought, observation, or do others feel Ryan is the next "break out" as far as Post War collectors are concerned ?

A pretty cool mail day.

Seeing this centered-both-ways 1973 #615 Mike Schmidt RC at a really good price made me jump at it immediately. There's a bit of snow, but the corners are better than they seem to appear. Plus, I added two more 1967 high numbers to my slowly growing tally...
