I think UFFDAH has me beat, but I've been looking for this Joe Louis card for a while. It is the 1961 Quaker Oats Great Moments in Sports Joe Louis. These cards are difficult to track down, and they are hand cut from a Quaker Oats Puffed Wheat box. Most people that ate the boxes of Puffed Wheat just threw them away after they finished eating the cereal back in 1961, so they are difficult to find.
This example is super clean and super sharp. I love when you get a raw item that is actually nicer in hand than you anticpated and this is that. I have had a few copies over the years but this one is by far the nicest.

1977 Sportscaster Joe Louis. This is the tough to find Italian version.
I got the Rocky Marciano.. what are you using to store it?
Great find!
Well, it's coming from Italy so it hasn't arrived yet, but when it gets here, to be honest, I'm not sure. I was thinking about buying some of those oversized top loader cases. They look like this..
I recently made a trade with the owner of the #1 Yaz master set. Without getting into too much detail, I traded down one point on 2 cards and in exchange I was able to plug 4 holes in my set and upgrade another card. Here are the 7 items I got in the trade:

Awesome D-Wade! The image of him and the color really jump out at you! He was a great player and is a great person. Check out the Budweiser commercial he did not too long ago. In the commercial, his mother and some of the people he has helped over the years surprise him, It almost brought me to tears. He's a class act.

any al brown ?

I checked Ebay Italy where I found mine, and I didn't see any Al Brown Italian Sportscaster cards.

The placement of the RC logo made me do a double take, thinking Mahomes was wearing some of David Lee Roth’s pants during the early Van Halen years.
Been a little busy this month...
Here’s another I forgot to add..
Here’s 2 of my pickups for this month! Just need a printer that isn’t dirty lol
Added this to the collection last month. Trip across the pond finished today.

I picked this card up last night...
I like how this card captures Sandy Koufax's pitching form in this 1963 World Series Game #1 at Yankee Stadium.
Glad to help, and to know it has the perfect home in your collection.
nice venezuelans... very good quality

One of my first purchases several years ago, upon getting back into collecting. Revered this card as a kid.
Now re-holdered.
Baseball season is about to start. So I figured I'd get this.

Another auto for the set.
This was a late night spur of the moment pickup on eBay that I picked up the other night. Looks as nice as my 7 but at a much lower price. 😉

Nice pick up! Great eyes...that 4 is very sharp!!!!
