    I figured I would start doing a small Topps and maybe Bowman player collection of Mike Trout. No Chromes just basic Topps in Bowmans, I prefer the clean look over the shiny.

    You can never go wrong with a gem mint Mike Trout. Those are very nice. Here are 3 additions with one from each sport. Pretty happy to find a nicely centered 69 Mays and to land it for a very good price as well.

    I've been in the market for a 1970 Topps Mays without the line running along the top. Very happy with this sharp PSA 6. Thought it was a score for $31:

    Technically, I bought a couple of these in Sept., but I don't think I posted any of them in that month's thread.

  • I found this group of T206 cards "in the wild" so to speak. Almost walked right by based on the condition/asking price assuming they were all common backs... I am glad I didn't and boy was I ever wrong! Easily my best "find" ever.

  • That Drum back is amazing. Congrats on the find. Here's a handful that have arrived the past two days.

    Amazing T206 find-- man, those little cards are so charming, colorful, full of character. I keep a small stack of beater common T206s on my desk just because they are so quaint and cheery.

    t206 is an area I'm weak in..what makes them so much better than the other ones?...is there a huge price difference?.....i figure rarity, but id love to know a little of the history....although in regards to my bank account i probably shouldn't even start into these sets...some great looking cards here...i always love the 75s and personally the trouts
    thanks

    I sold my Clemente RC in April of this year and have regretted it ever since. After getting back from the National, I told myself I need to replace the one I sold. Even though it's a downgrade from what I had, I feel it's still a strong card for it's grade.

  • Bobby, congrats on landing a new 'Berto. A Pirates fan of your stature should never be without one in your collection! And like others I'm really digging those scarcer T206 backs.
  • Hey Bobby, that new one looks just as good as the previous one. Certainly digging it. I eventually need to pick me up one of those.

    Some brand backs are worth more than others. Drum is one of the rarest/most valuable. Hey cardsfan73, congrats on the pick up _ I'd like to hear more. What do you mean by "in the wild"? Are you referring to the fact they're not slabbed?

  • halosfanhalosfan Posts: 2,611 ✭✭✭✭
    Love the 'Nique!!

    I've been picking up random Brady and Manning cards and ho-hum cards for my sets so not a lot to share ...

    When I came back to the hobby after a long hiatus one of the first cards I purchased at a collectibles shop was a 1998 Skybox E-X 2001 Peyton Destination Honolulu insert. Time passed and I came across PSA. That Manning was the first card I ever subbed. It came back a 4 with a large vertical crease on the reverse (still have the PSA 4). Anyway, I started to build that set this year and just picked up a cleaner example. Here it is:

    I haven't been to a card show in years. Took my son today to a local show and picked these two cards up. I paid right at VCP for the Mays and a little over for Mantle.

    Love these threads. Great start already.

    October arrivals. Purchased at the end of September using both a $20 off and the 5X they rolled out to close the quarter, plus several BOs, and I was able to put a big dent in the Basic Koufax set I'm working on.

    Just need to find the right 65 and get my 62 and 63 graded. Also added another Clemente and am slowly plugging away at his Basic.

    Happy to finally add a Cepeda RC. While he's not part of a set I collect, I did grow up in the Bay Area and had a big love for the Giants legends...even if I am a Dodger fan.

    Got some more goodies on the way and almost ready for a 15 card sub.

  • Thanks for the kind words on the t206 cards guys. I collect St. Cardinals & St. Louis Browns cards and have several T206 cards in my collection but my card budget pretty much only allows me to purchase low grade/common back cards. I do have a few Hall Of Famers like Roger Bresnahan, Rube Waddell, Bobby Wallace & Vic Willis.

    As far as in the wild goes I spend a lot of my free time going to garage/yard sales, thrift stores, antique malls and antique shops. Besides collecting cards I also collect old records (primarily jazz records these days) and vintage video games.
    I found these cards in antique/vintage shop that I usually don't frequent, typically all they have is furniture & home decore type of stuff. The only reason I had stopped by was to see if they had any old peach crates I could use to store my LP collection in. I just happened to see these three cards inside a Curio Cabinet that they were using to display a random assortment of trinkets. As I stated I almost walked right by when I saw the asking price and the condition assuming they were probably all common backs. I am glad I decided to go back in take a better look. The Sweet Caporal is a very common back, The Lundgren El Principe De Gales is a little less common (if I remember correctly of the 200+ graded by PSA about a dozen are EPDG backs) and the Charlie Starr Drum back is super rare. PSA has only graded 1 and it was Authentic, SGC has only graded 1 and it also graded authentic. I am hoping that mine can get a 1 or a 1.5.

    This definitely makes up for all the hours I have spent hunting for treasures only to find boxes of 1988 Donruss.


    Thanks,
    Scott

    Scott ... WOW! I just saw that Drum back. Congrats on your find. Show a pic once it's slabbed.

  • Very nice Koufax's up there, especially the 58, you can never have too many Koufaxsimage
  • So many awesome cards.

    That Dominique Wilkins is nice. Career in the shadow of MJ, but an all-time great scorer. Even played well after the achilles tear. Great signature, too.

    With all these great hockey cards being posted, I keep getting an item to focus on a hockey set. I am rounding out my 86-87 Fleer collection, but I'll need something else to chase soon enough.

    Keep posting more, please! I'll had more to add in a few days when I get my shipment.

    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.
  • Jim, that's a really great group of high eye appeal vintage

    Some cool stuff being shown!! Really like that Oscar R.

    Here is one I just purchased. There is something about the 1962 Mars Attacks that gets me, even though it was before my time. To me this card "Prize Captive" is iconic and one I have really wanted.

    Great cards! Love the centering on that 65 Unitas. Tough card, looking for a nice centered example myself. This just showed up today.

  • A couple more that arrived the past two days. A signed RC I have been wanting to add, and as close to a playing day's issue as I'll get for a Hall of Famer.

    3 new additions for my 74 Topps Red Sox team set. I wanted to do a PSA graded set with some red flip autos mixed in, but PSA won't let me combine signed and unsigned in one registry, so I went with a showcase instead. You'll see 7 unsigned graded cards, as well as red flip autos of Luis Tiant and Bernie Carbo. Not seen are signed cards of Tommy Harper and Rico Petrocelli that I need to send to PSA to get authenticated, graded, and added to my showcase.
  • begsu1013begsu1013 Posts: 1,943 ✭✭
    dan,

    have you contemplated requesting the 74 signed red flip set? i know they are adding basic player sets w/ a few already approved. i'm just waiting on them to be added...

    just a thought.

    That's what I'm saying. They do an unsigned team set and a signed team set, but won't let u combine them, even though all the cards have a numerical grade. I'm not interested in completing a signed set.

    well. well. just offering a different avenue of attack since you seemed mad/surprised they don't mix sets....
