As the title of the thread states it's a November to remember and I won't forget about it anytime soon!
This addition will most likely be the pinnacle of my collection perhaps not in dollar value but in importance. This is a pop 4 with one higher. I've seen 3 of the 4 9s and I would choose this one above the other two. I actually passed on one about a year ago and kicked myself for weeks after that wondering if I'd see another copy available. The pop 1 10 will probably never leave the hands of its current owner so I this is as good as it will get for me.

Couldn't help myself from picking up my second one of these in as many months:
Main collecting focus is Patrick Roy playing days 85/86-02/03, expect 1/1, National/All-Star stamped cards.PC Completion: 2,548/2,952; 86.31% My Patrick Roy PC Website:https://proy33collector.weebly.com
I should probably hold my excitement until I get them in my hands, but I just picked up these two tonight. My first 9's for the 71T set. Dave May pop 17 with 1 higher. John Stephenson pop 23, none higher.
So I have a set of 1956 Topps that I have been working on but when I needed some quick cash for a card I HAD TO have, the most liquid card I had was my Mickey Mantle from the set. It was a really solid looking card and I was very sad to sell it but I just landed a nice replacement:
1956 Topps #135 Mickey Mantle
Curious about the rare, mysterious and beautiful 1951 Wheaties Premium Photos?
Won this is auction by 50 cents. Might Slab. Also won a Dimaggio 1938 that I think was dropped in water at some point. Dad's Banks Rookie 54' came back altered. Pissed because it might have been a 9. I also got a 1958 Topps Mantle for 5 bucks in binder at thrift store
. Got this for 21 cents on ebay.
PSA Slabbed Cards and Mantles are the only ones I collect
These are some of my Lee Seung-yuop cards. He's a Korean who played in both Korea and Japan in the years 1995-2017. Arguably the greatest Korean player of all-time. I received back a large submission but these are my favorite looking cards of that bunch. BBM knows how to make some nice looking cards.
I finished up my 1968 Bear team set with 3 cards and also picked up a 68 Craig Morton. I remember that Jack Concannon was a lousy quarterback for the most part, always throwing more pics than TD passes. George Halas traded Mike Ditka to the Eagles to get this guy. I was able to negotiate to obtain this PSA 9 OC although I think it looks decent for being off center. I will never forget a play that happened in 1969. I was 12 years old and had already lived through the Cubs demise. Concannon stepped back from the center to call time-out but at the same time the center snapped the ball because the snap count was "first sound". The ball went straight up in the air and a St. Louis Cardinal player picked it up and ran it in for a TD. I was so mad I was in tears.

There was some really nice stuff on auction by PWCC last night. I concentrated on one card from 1957 and put it on layaway.
Nice Koufax - really like the centering on it. PWCC has layaway? How does it work equal payments over time? Do they charge interest or a fee for the service?

It's actually paypal that has 0% interest for 6 months if the item is $99 or more and if you make monthly payments on time. They also have a longer term payment plan with interest but those are not for me.

Thanks for the information. Was not aware of the PayPal 0 interest for 6 months deal.
Had this years ago and sold it off to a friend that had to have it for a family member.
Just bought it back as part of the entire collection as the family has decided to sell
everything and downsize!

and it says he is 103 and living in Denver. Very Cool.
beautiful card. I was able to snag one last January for $85 as a package deal which included a Walmart blue PSA 10 for $100. Think I did well on that one! love this gold!
IIRC, this is a very pricey card which I never even realized was big money until recently looking for a Demmitt card to complete my NY Highlanders team set. awesome pickup!
A few more cards for my various sets were delivered today. The 59 Pierce All Star is the last card in the 59 Topps set and is pretty tough to find in high grade.
picked these two items up . a very large baseball card by pinnacle and a 45 rpm record . the baseball card measures 1ft 4 inches wide by 1ft 10 inches long .. not sure if they made anything larger .

Here is another Rodgers Rookie that arrived today.
I just upgraded another card in my 1964 Stand-up set. This one is a tough one. This is the only PSA 8.5 and there are only two PSA 9s, no PSA 10s.

It still seems so odd to see him listed at 3B, he'll forever be a SS in my mind.
