LOTSOS, Great OPC pickups. Love the 71 Martin. Speaking of OPC. I was very happy to find this PSA 9 Bench on Ebay. Complete with the OPC rough-cut. According to VCP the last time a PSA 9 sold was in 2009.
September buy...5-card pack printed in the U.S.A.
Monte - you are tearing it up with these 60’s unopened packs!

A couple additions to my sets arrived this week
Here is the '64 pack...arrived August 31 from the National.
Also arriving from the National was this 1st series 1963 cello pack. I like the centering on the top card!
Just sniped this one on eBay.

This vintage beauty arrived today. To me an all time iconic Rookie Football card with a great image, color and design!!
That Van Brocklin is fantastic!
For Sale
Sweet pickup. The colors just pop on that card and the centering is outstanding as well. Congrats.
Wow! I need to get your budget
great pickup on the NVB rookie!

Thanks guys on the Van Brocklin !! Its a POP six 8.5 with five 9's and no 10's. Special 67 year old HOF card for sure and undervalued in my opinion.
Hard to get a better card than that one. Centering looks dead on, awesome color, white borders. Guess is one of the bottom corners is the only thing keeping it from being a 9. That is a great card and pickup. Makes me want to do some football cards.

All aboard the Mookie train, next stop: October baseball!

I must say, Rory was thoroughly impressed with mike lowell's sage advice on how to properly break up with a hot girl before moving on to a new one. So much so that he asked I please repost this card in hopes that CU's resident relationships czar will once again crawl out of the woodwork. Because when the veritable Dr. Phil of professional golf speaks, those are the types of indispensable nuggets that absolutely no one can live without.

Galaxy wins the award for most original introduction to a card.
ill do some scans as soon as can.. ripped some packs and pulled out some errors and a picked up a 1994 classic manon rheaume
A couple more Heritage autos. The Kaline and Berra will be sent to PSA soon, hopefully they will cross to a 10.

Nice stuff! I always enjoy the monthly pick up threads. The cool thing about his hobby is we all have our individual focus and dollars we can spend but we enjoy what we purchase all the same.
I've been on a bit of a kick picking up some early Phil Mickelson autos and have always loved these Norstan/Dayton's challenge programs that include perforated cards. Using the sellers pics rather than messing with the perforations any further. Phil and Tim Herron on the front ...
and all 12 cards signed including those two again, Vijay, Payne Stewart, Tom Kite, and more ...
these are the error cards i pulled from packs.. and the classic rheaume
1) wrong year (11997) .. seems to have been a time traveller --
2: shifted stats
3: Manon Rheaume
Here are the latest creations from Jeffrey (allifaxwa2)... in the T3 size.
Getting them slabbed on Saturday at the Long Beach Expo.

One thing Ive learned on these boards is that its never a good idea to follow UFFDAH on any "new acquisitions" thread.....but here goes nothing! Busy week last week after a pretty slow summer.
Always looking for tougher PSA 10's of Nolan Arenado, Alex Bregman, Mookie Betts, Francisco Lindor, and Mike Trout.
@JKT - I like those Trout!! Been chasing a few myself. Keep Em' Coming!! I still hunt the Vintage but modern is fun too!!
Someone needs to tell Uffdah that just because it is a September acquisition thread it does not require that he has to buy a card every day of the month
Great stuff and keep them coming.

Back from PSA today.
Really nice!
What will they charge to authenticate and slab in a T3 size holder?
Please post when you get them back.
Just sent them in.... it depends on the auto, but it was an additional $20 each for the jumbo holder.

Thanx.
Other than submitting my autos to get slabbed..I had a nice conversation with Randy Cook who always has a great collection of Ruth memorabilia. Ended up picking up the below from his table:
As a fan of both, it was cool to be able to pick up "pieces" of history.

First participation in this thread and I am long overdue joining the conversations. There have been some great pick-ups this month. Congrats to all. For me, I just picked up this 62 Venezuelan Koufax to bring me closer to completing a set that I first started when I purchased the Don Taussig card more than 35 years ago. At the time, had no idea what it was or why it was in Spanish, but it started a minor obsession. Never going to challenge Josh Alpert, but working to finish.
Not sure how long this collecting cycle lasts for me but I'm pretty much all football now. Of the 3, I actually like the Warfield best, even if it is a 2
I went to an estate sale today that my brother called me about... I arrived this morning to see boxes and boxes of cards... I guess the home owner was a hoarder. Since the estate sale had been going on since Friday, I think that the cards had somewhat been picked through, but I was able to find a complete set of 1993 Topps and a box of 1993 Topps Series 2, which I picked up for a whopping $5. I wish I had more time to spend there, but it's fall ball season for my boys, so I only spent around 15 minutes speeding through the cards.
Out of the cards I got the Jeter, a few nice Ryans, Hoffmans, Chipper Jones, and Mike Piazza's.

Just got this back from PSA today (subbed in late July). I knew the card was absolutely mint but definitely wasn't expecting a 10 on this!

Here are the most recent additions to my collection. The 56 Irvin is for my 56 HOF set that will never be completed. The 59 All Star cards are my first for that AS set. The other two cards are just additions to the collection.
