Nothing earth shattering here but I like them.

Always liked this one. Ultra rare horizontal version to boot ��

COMC mail day.

Mickey Mantle cards

PSA 8 Rickey, HOF Rookies of Reggie Jackson, Yaz, OPC Raines, Cal Hubbard umpire, COMC graded Mint Ron Cey/Ogilvie/Williams, Willie Nelson w/ Willie Mays jersey piece, 1972 Cloth, and 1969 4-in-1

1952 Topps graded set start. Working the PSA registry and will send in the raw cards and crossover the BGS/SGC. The one high-number is trimmed but was only $50.

HoF autos plus two N43s that were incorrectly marked N29s by PSA. Will have to get them reholdered to add to my set.

Holy shit John, that's quite the haul!

[swarmee]

Yeah, COMC can be frustrating at times, but when you can buy all kinds of sports and nonsports cards, it's pretty amazing.
I do have to return one of the cards from my order that looked much better in the picture than what I received. But I emailed them and they've already told me they'll accept the return no problem and reimburse me the shipping back to them.
Plus, I now have about 20K cards for sale on site with another 10,000 to price/list that I just picked up in port sales. No way could/would I do that if COMC wasn't a thing.

I came home with this after a card show today:

Thanks. I was happy to get it today. I've been slowly working on a master set.

Nice Mantle! A '53 Mick looks great in any grade!

[CharleyBrown]

Smallest card I've ever seen. Purple back to go with my orange back.

[Dewey]

First vintage card pick-up. Finally found the right part of the forum to post it.

[jason.1969]

X2!

That's a beauty!

Congrats.

[irv]

Some recent additions for my 52 Topps collection.
That Richards card was a tough one for some reason, but glad to say I finally snagged one!

[DBesse27]

Dale, I love following your pickups!

Thanks Dan.

I enjoy following your's as well !

[Dewey]

Thanks, Jason and Dale. Had a cool conversation with my daughter, a budding artist, about cards today. Looked at some Robinson cards online together. An awesome unintended consequence.

Net54 has been an invaluable place to learn!

[JollyElm]

Knocked another tough card off of my 1961 need list…

1961aaron577.jpg

[irv]

Someone from another thread was saying they were also looking for a Friend.
I had my eye on this one, (and was hoping they didn't) and a couple others and I am glad to say I got it.

It wasn't cheap, $25 and change, (Philley was $22+) but I couldn't let it go as it was a tough one to get and one I needed.

Bidding was ferocious on these 2 cards, which I luckily won, but one that I also needed, unfortunately got away.

Edit: Removed my listing pics and added the real ones as the cards arrived today. I must say, for me, these are some of the nicest 52 Topps I have purchased. They look real nice in hand.
Also, while I purchased the 52's, I decided to grab this multi-player card of Koufax, Juan Marichal, and Vern Law from the same seller for under $5.00 bucks. I like these multi-player cards and this one was priced too well, imo, to let it slide.

[Jim65]

Picked up 2 really, really tough commons. 1971 O-PEE-CHEE Al Weis and 1967 Venezuelan Ed Kranepool.

[JollyElm]

I grabbed up two more of these guys…

1971toppsgreatestmomentscolbertpetrocelli.jpg

And at a show today I picked up a tough 1959 high number and a pretty sweet 1969 Perry white letter variation. And Campy?? Well, I don't collect the set and he's in rough shape, but look at the discount i got!!!!

Great P/U's, JollyElm.

[jb217676]

Here's a nice signed 1957 Topps Kubek RC I picked up in a lot of signed cards on the BST!

[Vintagevault13]

Darren,

Nice additions. Love the Campy. My '52 low number set is pretty much in that condition. Can get great deals on well-loved cards.

The Greatest Moments set is very cool. The Reggie Jackson is one of my white whales for my RJ player set.

A candidate for the "Ugliest Set Ever"!!!

RARE set to be sure, but dang they are ugly!!! This is how they were made in strips of 3 players.

Let's see how good you guys are... Identify the set! If nobody gets it I'll let you know.

[g_vezina_c55]

just buy it on ebay. The second add to my mantle run

Nelson, I like what you're doing on the Mantles. Collecting in year order?

Took my player collecting into O-Pee-Chee. Had resisted for a little while, because the cards are identical (almost) to the Topps cards, but I really like these, mainly for the centering/looks for the grade.

[Dewey]

I got nothin. Tell me more! "Ugly sketch baseball card" came back zilch on Google.

I dig these, Mike. Especially the Clemente. Cool card.

Is it possible these could be game pieces of some kind?

Thanks a lot - Clemente is my favorite player to collect, and that's one of my favorite mainstream issues!

Thanks - Maris is one of my favorites and I find him really under-appreciated.

He also has a ton of great looking cards in his Topps issues - '58, '60, '61, '62, '65, 66, '67 - those are just a few of my favorites!

Thanks, Nelson. I'm slowly but surely getting there, if I ever completely get there, but I'm enjoying doing what I can.

Nice cards!

Maybe I'm wrong, but aren't O-Pee-Chee's a little tougher to find and therefore also more valuable? I know this is the case with some Hockey cards but I'm not 100% sure with baseball however?

[DBesse27]

Nice OPC's Mike! 60s OPC are tough!

[JollyElm]

I am psyched to knock this tough HOF'er off of my ever-diminishing 1961 need list. I used the $15 off coupon code to grab it up...

1961berra425.jpg

The centering on back is most likely the reason for the O/C qualifier (And I couldn't care less!! Woo hoo!!), but if you look on ebay, the front is centered better than a heckuva lot of NQ cards. Love it!!

[Shoebox]

Another HOFer off the list with this one.
