You are after my own heart with this card. I've been a Cubs fan since I was 12. My favorite Santo is his '63 Topps, although I have his '61 rookie card too. Just always liked that set. Also love his '63 Fleer - if you will notice carefully the picture was taken at the Polo Grounds - when the Mets played there before it was torn down.

Wow. When I mean nice I'm thinking PSA 5 or 6. I once had a really nice copy of card #42 (Dee Fondy of the Cubs) that I sent off to SGC for grading. It came back a 8. I can't imagine a nicer '57 than that one raw when I held it in my hands, so those must be really nice in person.

Friends,
I'm pushing the era limits of our sub-forum, but I just had to share what is really one of the most gorgeous cards in my collection. As you compare to your own PSA 8+ cards, you may be scratching your head, but it will make sense if you imagine yourself a guy whose cards typically have such rounded corners that you could roll the card like a wheel (okay, maybe not quite that bad!) I know this set is a bit cartoony for some collectors, but I am actually a big fan. I think the artwork really captures the era. This will be a great companion to the other HOF Diamond Stars in my collection: Hornsby, Ott, and Hubbell. Someday I hope to add Pie Traynor as well. Wow! I just love this one! And a P.S. for the historians out there...did the Polo Grounds scoreboard really list the home team first? Terry_1935_DS.jpg

Finally got my Mick
Haven't posted any of my pickups in a great while, but making an exception here... After a year of near-misses and escalating prices, I finally bit the bullet. Key for me is pretty nice centering and no roller marks. The other flaws are forgivable. I can't stop staring at it.

What flaws? Gorgeous. Congrats! Beast of a card to find with that eye appeal.

Thanks, Matt! Yeah, I am very happy this one is mine. And thanks again for your advice earlier this year. It took awhile, just like you said it might, but totally worth the wait.

KingFisk, you nailed it with the 51 Mantle. Well played and worth the wait. Congrats.

What a month! Am remembering a signed Aaron RC, a Dan-Dee Mick, some great Jackie Robinsons, and now a Mantle RC! We are the true "pickup artists" of the internet.

Thanks, all! Yep, it lives in a new PSA holo slab. Would be afraid to buy one raw.

Not exactly on par with some of the awesome cards being trotted out lately, but I picked up my second decently-centered '72 Mays 'In Action' this month and the Gibson isn't in what you would call great shape (rounded corners with staple holes at bottom), but a really tough 1962 HOF high number? I'll take it any day of the week!!!!!!!

I found some 1960s commons that I sent out for TTM.

Okay, I might not have the most impressive November pickup, but I may well have the last November pickup!
Some of you may know I've decided to expand my "Top 50" display to "Top 100." This took me from needing only two cards (Ruth, Gehrig!) to needing 34! Well, the good news was that many of the ones I needed could be had in decent shape for very little. And the bad news is that I still need the Ruth and Gehrig!
