Didn't see the January 2020 post so figured I'd start the monthly pickups post again. Some more recent slabs. Biggio's and some Walker's the Walker Gold Finest is part of a project= rest are resale slabs.

    Interesting that the Rose photo is different than the one on his actual card from the set. Very cool box.

    2000 chrome look so sharp with the gold.

    Wow love those ‘68s. Great cards.

    On a side note I think it is awful that PSA does not make the orientation the same direction on all sideways cards. Hate that they sometimes flip back and forth.

    Just ripped a box of Prizm Fast Break and got these two. Might be good cards...who knows?!?!?

    Congrats!! Herro has been tearing it up this year. The Zion centering looks pretty strong as well. I like the alternate photo on it too.

    Still absolutely infuriating that such a large amount of 2019 prizm is off-centered. You'd think they'd have better production quality at this point. Especially considering that Topps uses the same facility for their printing and seem to have less problems.

    Yeah, didn't realize that Herro was worth as much as it is when I pulled it. And yes, another Zion with bad centering. I have been fortunate to pull 2 silver prizm Zions and now this disco Zion out of a total of 2 fast break boxes, 2 retail boxes and 8 blasters. My second silver Zion is on it's way to BGS(shhhhh, don't tell PSA) and these two might be as well.
    I am really curious to see how many actual centered gems come out of these boxes in the next few months. Nearly impossible to find a Zion Silver with perfect centering. If he pans out, that could play a huge role in valuation. If he partakes in too much gumbo and keeps getting injured, it could be a moot point.

    I agree, the orientation on the Santo is driving me crazy. Here are some HOFers from 20 years ago and a couple who will probably make it one day

    I have made it a point to call PSA every time they flip it wrong and get a re-slab done. To me when it's on the left it distracts the eyes. The card itself should always be the primary focus when the label is on the left it always takes my eyes towards irritating print on the left. It's like looking at a painting that has the wrong frame😞

    My own personal views of course others may have different thoughts

    totally not like me to pick up unlicensed but these Leaf cards are sharp and beautiful and autos can be had for cheap. snagged a /15 Acuna auto to go with this one. I know the stigma around non-licensed but they sure have some cool design ideas.

    More for my 48 leaf boxing set. I already had a Betinni, but mine was a 5. Had some eBay bucks and got this 7 for a song. The raw Sullivan and Christofordis came from our very own Promethius. Gorgeous cards.

    The card on the right with the yellow color is the 2000 W.R. Priddy Antiques Joe Louis. I've been looking for this card for a long time, with no luck. It is a beast to track down. My luck finally changed about ten minutes ago.

    They produced a LOT of different cereal brands for humans, too. The different Chex cereals are what come to my mind first. Wheat Chex, Rice Chex, Bran Chex, etc. I had several of those Ralston Purina baseball card sets. I believe you needed a certain number of proofs of purchase from the cereal boxes and then a small shipping and handling fee.

    I stand corrected. Ralston Purina didn't sell their food products to General Mills until the 90's. I also assumed that since the cereals were typically branded as Ralston (at least the Chex) that the cards were distributed via their pet products. However, I saw an image of Cookie Crisp with the card promotion on it.

    One of my favorite cereals was Quisp and I loved watching Johnny Quest while eating it.

    I'll refrain for overly long posts but if anyone has additional info I always love getting added backup to items I own RALSTON PURINA POST

    As you can see in that post has the methods of obtaining the sets. My 1984 backup was and still is in storage so I haven't been able to update that post in quite a while. Its enjoyable to me to learn about the items I own :) so if you have any additional info I'd love to get it emailed to me.

    just grabbed this one up today

  • countdouglascountdouglas Posts: 2,435 ✭✭✭✭✭

    This maybe deserves it's own thread, as I really have no idea what I have here. I just thought they would be cool pickups, as they remind me of the 64 Topps Giants photography. It's not very often that I come across items that I've never seen before. Any additional background info would be appreciated.

    Without further ado...the 1983 MACTAC Starliner sticker set.

    The pics are copies of the 1967 Dexter Press set, but far smaller in size. I think PSA has graded a few examples in the past, but no longer does.

    Love the cloth stickers. Have a box of them that I would like to open someday but will probably never pull the trigger. Would love to see the rest of what you open.

    Don’t know anything about the star liner stickers but I like them. Nice find. How do you know it is from 1983? Would have guessed it was from about ‘67 based on Colavito being an Indian and Palmer being included.
