<< <i>That is a very nice PSA 8 Carter. >>
I second that. Great pickup, Evan!
I decided to start buying Clemente's again. Here's my first in nearly 3 years. Special shout out to Jeff (Card Country) for selling me this beauty.
This is one for my 60 Topps set:
"Molon Labe"

CLEAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WTB: PSA 1 - PSA 3 Centered, High Eye Appeal 1950's Mantle
<< <i>Picked this up last night. Nice card at a nice price!
.
I have been looking for that exact card in that grade. I have been taking a break lately so I missed that one. Great centering on that card.
BPorter26 that is a sweet looking Clemente. What a way to jump back in after 3 years off.
Some great looking rookies with the Ripken, Winfield and Carter. Great start to the September thread
<< <i>Tough to go wrong with a card with three hall of famers on it. >>
Agreed! Love those vintage league leader cards with multi superstars.

Liquidating my collection for the 3rd and final time. Time for others to enjoy what I have enjoyed over the last several decades. Money could be put to better use.
Kyle - Happy to see the Spieth made it to you safely.
Here's another 86 Fleer I'd been looking for. Pretty strong 7 considering I just couldn't rationalize what 8s go for vs. this one.
Some new Banks for my Player Registry...
And some more Registry items. These all coming from jmaciu as part of a sweet swap deal. Thanks John! Super stoked with these.
Looking forward to what the rest of the month has in store.

Anyway, onto my contribution for the month. I have been pretty quiet on the pick ups for the past month and very busy with sales. All of that was to finally get this card paid off. I have been after a nice example of this card for years. I first started looking at getting this card because I started a 500 HR club RC collection about a year and a half ago. Despite his FTC being much more valuable and famous, I have always thought the RC was the more aesthetically pleasing of the two cards, with the beautiful blue background and the more full shot of him in his batting pose. I would be very remiss if I didn't give a huge shout out and thank you to Jeff (Cardcountry) who sold me the card and worked with me on payment. This was my first time dealing with him. I have seen his name come up a number of times in various threads (including two other mentions already in this month's pickups thread), always with nice things being said, and I have to concur after working with him on this card. Thanks Jeff!
<< <i>Wow, we are off to a fast start to the month. Too many to list all, but I really love the Clemente from Bobby and the 1960 Musial (that set has one of my favorite designs). Those Aaron RC's are off the charts (best looking 7 and 4.5's I have seen for that card). James your Red Heart Mantle is a beauty and a great upgrade for your set. Jim, I love the 86 Fleer Mullin (as clean a 7 as you will find) and the cards from your trade with John are sharp, that Mantle looks fantastic (glad to see a couple of great board members working on a trade).

Awesome Mantle Rookie! That is exactly the type of Mantle rookie I would like to add to my collection one day down the road. A nice looking PSA 3 or 4.

I'm loving that 55 Koufax too. I also got mine from Jeff.
Hopefully the emerald /5 hits ebay soon (being a new product and being opened heavy right now)
The is a 2015 Topps Buyback....gold foil, which is a 1/1
Raw: Tony Gonzalez (low #'d cards, and especially 1/1's) and Steve Young.
Jim.... absolutely beautiful 73 Roberto Clemente.
Steve.... xJust Wow on the 51 Bowman Mantle. Congrats on the pickup.
dberk... Gorgeous looking Koufax.
Dennis.... Very nice 70 Clemente, it's very well centered.
here's a few of the packages i'ved opened so far...
a pair of the infamous 64 floods, but the veni versions!
another one for the signed mantle run:
Lovin that 59 Clemente. Its a blazer for sure! The Ripken 10 is a beauty. That Mantles are spectacular (all of them) and the Koufax 8 is off the charts.
Keep em coming
Jim, it was great working with you on the 68 Mantle, 60 Koufax, and the 73 Clemente. They definite found a great home...Bobby, the 59 Clemente is off the charts...The Koufax rookie is terrific...I love the Partridge meats Bench...Steve, the Mantle Bowman is awesome. Congrats on tracking it down..,
I hope to add to this thread shortly.

The biggest lesson I've learned in this hobby, and in life, is that if you have a strong conviction, you owe it to yourself to see it through. Don't sell yourself, or your investments, short. Unless the facts change. Then sell it all.
anyone else remember these...the 86 topps boom box w/ pez candy?
couple scores for my herb score collection:
62 veni
and my deal de jour! gave it a 50/50 shot of them actually showing, but they did and snagged both of'em for under $12.
1926 w512 strips w/ uncle fester, walter hagen & lon chaney (werewolves of london)
edit: and technically a july pick up, but just got her back from psa. a lil rough, but i'll take'er:

regardless, i think it is pretty freaking cool!!!
if you ever upgrade and wanna sell her, lemme know.
cool project too
edit: you plan on soaking any of these t206s?
Speaking of Score, Bob, there must be a reason you collect Herb and I'd love to hear it. If you don't wanna post it here, could you PM me? As you know, I'm passionate about player collecting, so I'm always interested in what draws collectors to their players.
you should see the mountain of hockey cards i just picked up! ; )

nothing that can't be posted. first, i did go to high school, college and do have a house in breck, co. however, i collect him for reasons well above and beyond the literary ironies.
prior to the the infamous mcdougald line drive he:
had a 2.85 era in rookie season
had 245 strike outs. that record stood for nearly 30 years.
and believe he was the first rookie to appear on sports illustrated.
as for the mcdougald line drive, that's a whole other thread that could go on for days.
the fact that he bounced back from it though is nothing more than a miracle for both men. his dedication and will to make it back to baseball saved the career of both men, as mcdougald was so shaken up that he was gonna throw in the towel as well.
outside of the baseball world, the man was literally a beast that couldn't be stopped:
at age 3 was hit and ran over by a truck. survived.
developed rheumatic fever back then. survived.
direct line drive to the face by mcdougald. survived.
day after being inducted into the broadcasters hof hit by a semi truck. survived.
spent another month in ICU. suffered brain trauma, crushed lung, fractured another facial orbital bone. survived. (was citied for failure to stop)
2002 had a stroke. survived.
finally passed in 2011...
i mean when life gets down, i simply pull out the cards, think about what the man accomplished/endured and know that it could always be worse.
but back to his baseball days, had he not got hit w/ a line drive (literally to the f@cking face) i honestly think he woulda been one of the best pitchers of all time!
and that's my brief explanation on why i love the herb!
Ive been looking for a nicely centered with good picture in about 4-5 for a while but havent found what I want yet. That is a gorgeous example!
