@rmh111985 as usual great Roy pickups and good to see the Hart kid performing well
Nothing makes a team play with more confidence than knowing the goaltender can keep you in games
@UFFDAH The UD Legends insert sets are all undervalued in my opinion. The Die Cut is hard to keep in Gem Mint shape and frankly the foiling isn't easy to keep in great shape either. Good pickup and underappreciated !! I'd rather have that foil die cut card than many of the colored full sized of that year. Great Quantum as well !!
@pdub1819 The Yogi is by far my favorite of the custom group and good choice on the Goudey Jeter year
Some game used additions recently protected. A little upset they put the Johnson in backwards the label is supposed to go on the right side- not the left. Every other game used they slabbed was right sided. The two I sent in for 2004 Flair both got put in left sided. Why I have no clue but they are possibly headed back
Continuing my Hall of Famer tilt is the Johnson and the Thomas the Nomo's a throw in slab choice glad it got the Mint 9
4 more additions to my 70’s Sabres run. The 1970 OPCs are 8s but they fall under what I call my “Pop Clause”.
The goal is to complete the run in Mint or better but I’ve decided to start purchasing 8’s for cards with a total pop of less then 5 for 9s & 10s. These two fit that bill. The 70 OPC set registry is very competitive and most can be found in those sets. There are also a few top sets that are private so the remainder may be in there.
I won this '61 Mantle in tonight's PWCC Auction. I fell for the bold colors, jet black background, and blemish-free of print fish eyes in the red/yellow nameplate. Plus...centering is nice.
Monte - I was talking about the 61 Mantle with a couple other collectors privately and the 7.5 was nicer than the 8 and the 9 that were for sale by PWCC. Was contemplating picking it up because it was such a nice example, and I am not really a fan of 61, 63, or 67 Mantle's for whatever reason - 1961 is one of the few years I have never owned. Having said that this example is such a nice card and very worthy of the HE designation. Great pickup!

Wow Monte - you hit the jackpot with that one!
It's nicer than 8s I've seen - as you said - centering, registration, color - yahtzee!

KC...I am glad you passed. It came expensive enough w/o another bidder.
😄
I had literally entered the bid amount and was going to hit the button, but then I remembered the wisdom of Mike (Stone) which is keep your focus narrow - I knew it was a monster but that $3-4K would be saved for another Mantle or some unopened 70’s racks or the National. Again, you got a monster of a card that looks like an 8/8.5.

Last month, I got a pretty good price on a 1993 Bowman Jeter SGC 10. I figured I would cross it over for my set. Last night, I found a ‘poorly listed’ PSA 10 auction (same card) and won it for an even better price! Needless to say, the SGC will be available on ebay (and here) soon. And I have moved into 3rd place on the PSA Registry Set - 1998 Yankees Rookies Set as a result.

Great card! The 93 Bowman Jeter is such a classic looking card. Nice , simple design that works. One of my favs for sure.

Wow, I knew mantle was hot, but not that hot. That exact card almost doubled in final hammer price in the last month. The power of PWCC vs your average joe seller.
@ssdawg77 Always had a soft spot for the 54's- great colors. Looking forward to your set completion
@addicted2ebay My guess is the 5 is indicative of a surface wrinkle somewhere on the card- either that or the backs toast
@mintonlypls You have a back scan ? With that stunning front either the back is way off center with issues or there's a surface wrinkle we can't see on scans. That's a Gem Mint front = somethings going on scans not showing
@brad31 Love the Morgan - like Frank Robinson a highly unappreciated AT Great HOF player
@han_soto Keep focus - that's an impulse buy buddy - a nice Mattingly auto for sure - but still an impulse
@UFFDAH - you need to pick up some more Marvel related stuff--- Great buy !
@lawnmowerman Nice to see you posting again Matt but makes me more happy to see you and the wife still chugging along
@alifaxwa2 You buy that for some custom breakup cards ? Nice piece
If I forgot anyone sorry 1 day missed reading looks like a ton of posters
Waited 5 months almost for two of these to pop ( 108 business days) but finally protected and definitely heading to the bank safety deposit box Monday when it opens. As I've shown prior slabbing all my HOF players - modern first vintage later down the line. Its tough when one has to commute 100 miles to ones storage facility to get stuff out ( live in Vegas storage units in Utah)
The Red Sox foursome has 3 current HOF and if he can keep his mouth shut 10 minutes Schilling will make it in. Its unlikely most people will gem these foil cards- its just that difficult to keep them in great shape
The Orioles foursome was more difficult to get- with just 25 produced took a Ripken guy selling for me to find one. All 4 being Hall of Famers fits in with my HOF theme
The Awesome 8 shortstops card is perplexing- why Tejada got put in makes no sense at all if they wanted a current player who may make the HOF then Omar Vizquel at the time would have made more sense but then again never sure why card companies do what they do. The fact its Jeters uniform # was coincidental.
A couple more for my 54 set, down to 23 needed now. I've got to clean the cases, especially the Lenhardt, it has a terrible scratch to the right of his mouth.
Picked this up for only $19.99 even though I didn't need it. The last one sold for $149.99 obo 3 weeks ago. Of course I'm not sure what it actually sold for but I would guess it wasn't close to $19.99.

In 2006 Tejada had received MVP votes in the previous 6 seasons. FWIW, despite the end of their respective careers, he was vastly superior to Vizquel.
I looked at that card through and through as well and could not find anything wrong with it. It is truly a monster and the PSA 7.5 1961 Mantle looked better than the 8 and 9 that were listed at the same time. That was money well spent.

I spent 3 minutes looking at the Mantle pics this time. I agree with the above after viewing the other 3 this is the one I'd buy , overpay if needed, and feel great about it.
@daltex Thanks for the info I had forgotten how good the start of his career showed great future promise.
Back to that Mantle now that I have more than 3 seconds to look at it =
Front = to the right of Micks top button about 1 mm appears to be a possible well camouflaged fish eye -- its blue and appears on the middle of a stripe so its going to attract someones attention under magnification. Back you have a printers mark in the upper left corner and the back is diamond tilting ( minor tilt to the left of the entire back ) otherwise back is perfect.
I'd need it in person to know if it displays surface wrinkle issues= no picture on this planet is going to show evidence of minor surface wrinkling . Human eye sees it best.
The cards not one I'd send for review= its one I'd carefully crack and sub on its own merits on an order. Would be worth the $200 super express fee & shipping costs IF I owned such a stunner. I'd be sending KC a box of cookies for not bidding as well that's one he should have snagged for that Mantle run of his.
