Thanks, David
I've enjoyed branching out from baseball a little.

[Rad_Hazard]

Couple of nice true RC's in recently.

Taking it back to funky town:

[BobbyStrawberry]

Not a cricket card, but a fun recent acquisition:

[Fwoodford_34]

Here are a couple new ones

[Exhibitman]

A friend got my 1971-72 VA Squires TI Dr. J signed for me today:



I'm pretty stoked.

[bigfanNY]

I was saving up for National but when this showed up on the bay I hit the buy it now pretty quick. Listed as a 1947 program, which it is. But there is a big difference between 46-47 and 47-48 and this is 46-47. Then the listed signature Chuck Connors. It is personalized so a nick for that. But there are 2 other signatures Nat Clifton and Harry Gallatin. Both Hall of famers and Knicks but both played later than 46-47. I wondered why they were on cover. When I hit Nat Clufton stats I saw the thread that connects these three. All 3 played pro baseball as well as Pro Basketball. So a nice group. On top of that Connors played in the game 1/18/47. The Rifleman only played in about 50 games over 2 seasons 46-48. So a signed program from a game he played is nice.

Really nice program beer chug.gif

[bigfanNY]

Thanks .. I always enjoy when I see another collectors focus in an item. It looks like Barry put some effort into obtaining these signatures. I hope wherever he is he knows it it appreciated and that I will do my best to pass it along to someone else who appreciates it down the road.

From a board member, a very clean 1986 Mercante David Robinson.

[rugbymarine]

My first CSG slab, and color me impressed. Clean label. Case seems solid. And it's a neat look how the area around the borders of the card is transparent.

[BobbyStrawberry]

Nice card, Ian! I have yet to get my hands on one of their new slabs.

[rugbymarine]

I picked up another 1988 Fleer HOF.

[LuckyLarry]

1948 Bowman #58 Arnie Risen HOF RC. I searched for this card at this years National but didn't see even one. Ebay auction starting price $100 and I brought it home for $102.50 plus tax plus shipping $114.76 an expensive card but the next to last card I need for the set. The last needed card #69 George Mikan rookie will have to be a reprint.

[Jewish-collector]

Larry - You didn't go for this one ?

[LuckyLarry]

The days of a Mikan RC under $1,000 are long gone!

Some more 1988 Fleer greats:

[Peter_Spaeth]

Another 86 Merchante.

[gonefishin]

Here are a couple of mine. I think if Allen would put on about 25 pounds he could really dominate the rim.

[TUM301]

Picked up this 1984 Star Jordan Rookie Of the Year card, thanks to Phil for another smooth "54" transaction. Would really like to add the 84 Star # 101 but just to far out of reach. Keep them coming boys......

[pawpawdiv9]

Nice Jordan. I might be able to hook you up on the 101.

[Gorditadogg]

Pistol Pete Day.

[Gorditadogg]

Bailey Howell's unusual rebounding style.

A couple of all-time greats

What? no Britany Griners ( Russian version)

I should probably add a card of hers next!

[rugbymarine]

One of the greatest PG ever, and somehow still feels a bit underrated. I'm really hoping he gets a ring before he retires.

[Peter_Spaeth]

101>>>>>>>86 Fleer 3rd year card.

[slidekellyslide]

I've been working on a Topps basketball run from 69-81. Just got this lot in yesterday.

[Peter_Spaeth]

Finished a subset and added a couple of WNBA.

is this also going to happen to Topps Chrome baseball from 1996 or 1997?

Thanks, guys. I've been after a Dr. J for a while. Always liked the 81 Topps, especially with it being his MVP season.

[Gorditadogg]

Some great cards! I really like that Maravich Icee, I am putting that one on my Christmas list.

Here are Wilt and Kareem on the same card:

[Exhibitman]

I thought this one was interesting:



1964 Bobbie Olympics. #5 for the USA that year was none other than HOFer Bill Bradley, so this is one of his first cards.
