April Pickups
Allow me to kick off April with these two cards...
The first is the 78 Brett. One of my favorite close up shots in all of Post War cards. I have owned so many of this card since I was a kid, and this is the cleanest copy I ever have come across. The borders and his face are totally free of the PD that usually plagues the card, plus the centering is there. Next up is a nice and square #660 Aaron Mini; the card is so often diamond cut. Not to mention OC. Found this squared up beauty for around twenty bucks on eBay! |

Yet another one for the HOF RC Collection! Slight diamond cut, but it's pretty for a 1.5. I like the fact that the border is not completely shifted over to the right like we often see. On to the next HOF RC....

An outstanding looking Aaron rookie for a PSA 1.5. Wow!
Matt, those are a couple of nice looking 70's to start off the month of April. I just picked up a 75 Aaron a week ago that is off to PSA as we speak. Both the Brett and Aaron are about as good as it gets with the centering. Congrats. |

Was not happy with centering but still a good card for my 1952 high numbers.
...April Fools!

Am now up to 14 out of 24 with my 1956 Topps Dodgers team set. Goal has been pretty good centering and corners, with this card being a tad nicer than most of my others.
Am planning a fun display in honor of the 60th anniversary of Brooklyn's first and only world championship.

Here is another one for my Brooklyn Dodgers World Champs collection. Can you spot what's most unusual about this card?

Yes!! An artist friend of mine is Dodgerizing Hoak, Russ Meyer, and Frank Kellert for my '55 World Champs display. Her tougher job will be "1956-izing" George Shuba, who isn't in the set at all.

Very nicely done Jason. I am eager to see the others now. I know this is a big project for you and I'm loving seeing it come together.

although a football card and kinda sophomoric, I landed one of my white whales a few days ago and just got her. she's a pop 2 and not sure if psa still grades this card. anyways, this was one of those tough error cards I was in to growing up, even though it's not really an error card, just perfectly time/placed shot!
(kinda pissed at my scanner. it's resolution is too good!! as this scan makes it look like all sorts of imperfections in this card, I can assure you this card is gorgeous in hand) |

That Cuellar/Cueller is a beauty. Love that set especially when it is centered. Congrats.

Great looking 59s!
Stumbled across this awesomely centered mini Carter RC. Between this and that 660 Aaron I am getting some love with the centered minis. |

I guess I'm on a roll....
....yeah...I can't help myself right now. Picking a few nice ones these days. I'm liking the idea of low to mid grade HOF RCs with nice eye appeal. Hmmmm....you know, the more affordable kind!

Nice 59s guys, I've always been partial to that set. I may have to try to finish it one of these days.
In the meantime, I had to go to Houston this week. Got to see the wildflowers along the way. Got home yesterday to this beauty. |

Then today, Mr. FedEx dropped this off. I'm kind of liking April so far.

An oddball pickup in April.
1971 House of Jazz. Kind of a weird card, and a little later DiMaggio than I like to buy, but also hard to find, I think.

I've been chipping away at the 1960 Leaf baseball set for a couple of years now. The high numbers (73-144) are TOUGH! At our local monthly show yesterday I stopped by my my favorite dealers table and I saw this beauty on display. I don't even remember ever seeing this card? Anyway I bought a big stack of '50s and '60s non sports cards along with this 1960 Leaf card for $25 total. So I would guess this card cost me $3 or $4 max. I took a peak at the price guide when I got home, to find out this is one of the most expensive cards included in the hi numbers (only #125 Sparky Anderson and the last card in the set #144 Jim Bunning book higher). It's a cool card!

How can anyone go wrong for $35?! Some amazing cards out there for low prices. A centered Mantle card from the early 60s!

Unbelievable how you find these gems, Matty! Btw, your Ruth RC and 52 Mick are the ultimate two cards I would love to own-- look as good or better than examples that cost way more.

Great Mick. Keeping the 53T theme alive, here is one card I have been after a long, long while. A true Post War beast to find with eye appeal and even decent centering-- and so hard to find a nice low-grade example.

Damn bro, I was just talking about adding a 53T Maysand another Goudey Ruth to the collection and there they are. Stunning pick ups.
I had some time to burn on an international flit so grabbed a Mays of my own. Thought this would pair really nicely with my 52T Mick. They almost seem separated at birth. This Ryan has been on my want list for a while now. So happy to find one so well centered without having to go high grade. Also a few Mantles that I slacked on posting: |

Funny how much repetition there's been on this thread so far. And here I am copying GregC...at least on one of his beauties!
