I haven't been buying much the last month or so. Some of these were bought last month . I just receivied the 1969 Clemente yesterday. With the addition of the 1970 Stargell, my 1970 HOF set is complete. I need 1 card to complete my 1970 All Star set. The 1963 Fleer cards are all upgrades. The 1969 Clemente is a new addition to the collection.
Nice cards as always. Congrats on completing the ‘70 HOF set! Based on what I remember seeing each the centering of your set is exceptional! They must look amazing together. Thanks for letting us see all these great cards each month.
Some great pickups seen !!
More slabs scan catch up from prior subs last year into January. A bunch of stuff held on to forever
As expected on a bunch and since I have PSA 10 on some ( or similar/higher on others) will stick up cheap elsewhere for sale
The Mac wanted to see my "lowest' grade possible so this one set the bar for the rest ( I already own a PSA 10)
Boggs was an upgrade attempt already own a 9 ( this one I'll sell)
Freddy is from a set I collected back when- held on til now- enjoyed subbing it.
Pedro was a recent buy back in November with 36 more available might upgrade later
Boggs Pristine been holding on to for 15+ years
Same with Dewey held on to since 1983 so figure 37 years on travel on that one
More to follow catching up since I have a few minutes before doc appointments
@jeffv96masters That 88 Star depicted above appears to show Boggs taking a throw at second base. Curious, I had to look up his career games played by position. Unless I just missed it while scrolling through his reference page, he did not appear in a major league game as a middle infielder. He did, however, play sparingly at both second and shortstop in the minors. His uniform says Boston, though, and this appears to be a spring training pic, so either he was just goofing around at practice or perhaps they were just getting a feel for his capabilities if needed in a pinch. Nowadays, though, it's common with the utilization of all the shifts, to see third basemen taking infield practice around the second base bag.
Anyway, I like the card, and it sent me down an enjoyable rabbit hole for a bit.

Been a slow start to the year for the main sets I’m trying to complete so I grabbed another Willie Woodburn autograph as well as some other odds and ends.
Ok so back in the 90's I collected a bunch of comics and doing so, also picked up a bunch of Wizard Magazines. Your post totally reminded me of all those cards from Wizard. My stupid mind went crazy and picked up NUMEROUS cards from that 20 card set, including a couple Vampirella's. UGH!!!! thanks!!
By the way, Vampirella looks AWESOME slabbed. Did you buy it or sub it?
@dictoresno1 they we’re purchased. The Vampirella is a POP of 1 and the Angela card is a POP of 2. Both cards reminded me I need to sub the comics for grading. High grade Spawn 8s sell pretty good and look fantastic in slabs.
I’ve subbed a bunch of Wizard Magazine cards as well bought raw ones from eBay. I have yet to land any above a 9 due mostly to surface issues.
This one isn’t slabbed... yet lol I actually have a sub packed and ready to ship off these oversized cards. Can’t get enough of the retro designs with modern players!
@countdouglas yes that Boggs is at spring training. He also took throws at first frequently as well.
Some more back including a few McGwire's
Not sure why but the Classic is a Pop 1 none higher not sure why no ones subbed those yet
Case has lint on it that's not a scratch
,
,

The next few are from the Red Sox PC sent in. The two Vaughn 1998 EX-2001s got my blood pressure up.
You'd have to see these scans large size ( can't be seen well here) to understand why.
The one that starts 448 is newly back. The 441 was from a few months ago.
The other two the the Fleer Tradition is a label correction fix they did and a re-slab of a cracked slab on the Thunder
More to follow. Still working so scanning when I'm free. Takes time between life stuff.

Cool. I used to collect old gloves. They're a really underrated collectible, in my mind. Can you post before and after shots together? I'd love to compare the two.
Todd Tobias - Grateful Collector - I focus on autographed American Football League sets, Fleer & Topps, 1960-1969, and lacrosse cards.
I picked up the Hardaway from @shagrotn77 and is the first basketball card I've owned in ages. He was always one of my favorites in my youth, back when I followed the game.
The Jones Jr. was righting a wrong I made years ago when I sold, and immediately regretted, another PSA 10.

Those are 2 awesome cards! Never seen the Hardaway before.
"My father would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. Our childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When we were insolent we were placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds - pretty standard really."
Thanks to Jeffvmasters for being a total pro and helping me with my first ever sub to psa. I am absolutely over the moon for my jogo card. This was , for over 20 years my white whale .
Glad to help Jason and yes those Moon cards look great slabbed !!
I do have tons more back I'll scan but also got these tickets back recently as well. As most know I PC Roger Clemens and was able to snag a few collectibles of some key games back in 2005 .
The first ticket was a particularly notable game in that Clemens threw 120+ pitches while dueling Mark Mulder in a 0-0 pitchers duel and eventually came out of the game which Mulder won in the 10th with a 10 inning complete game.
The 2nd game was on my birthday and Clemens ran into the buzz saw that was Chris Carpenter that year. Both games were tough losses. Clemens had his best ERA year that year with a 1.87 ERA . Overall I think 2 of the tougher pitched duels that year for him .
Box scores included for a little historical context

Yeah the pages are a bit creased and still damp so they are between two paper towels under a book. Definitely agree they still look great and can’t wait to get them framed.
The Berra is off the charts -- great pickup ! Got a bunch of jumbos myself Jason just waiting for the right time to sub em in.
A bunch more back and caught up scanning. Disappointed in the Jeter. The Price is just a re-slab.
Happy about the Pederson although the colors are not as expected hence the mint grade.
Otherwise the auto is nice and dark and the card is in great condition just the surface is a little light.
The 2014 Topps 1st Edition "supposedly" has 10 redemption sets. Sent these 3 in specifically because
I know a bunch of Bumgarner, Pierre, and Longoria collectors out there. Thought they'd appreciate.
The redemption sets looked like the pic below. I have more I'll sub down the line from this set.
Got a few early MJ items in. This first one's a 9"x12" 1985 Nike folder that were either sold or giveaways at participating McDonald's. It's got the 85-86 Bulls schedule printed on the inside.
And then these two 4"x6"ish 1988 Chicago Times with MJ,Walter Payton & Andre Dawson. One is a Costacos Brothers Postcard and the other a Fasson Crack N Peel sticker.
Some more of the ticket sub that came back. These would be of interest to @KingNascar or @Nascar360 or any Nascar fan.
If your ever able to attend an event folks on the racing circuit at the highest levels of NASCAR it is quite the experience to behold. There are various levels of seating at Daytona and the Skybox Suites (called something different now) are basically smack dab dead center and high up with comfy chairs
I'll post the tickets but I also do have the programs, race cheat sheets, and all the miscellaneous race day stuff as well .
Quite the experience folks and its something that every NASCAR fan should try and do once in their lives
Daytona week ( along with 4 or 5 other races) is just flat out nuts. It's the "Super Bowl" atmosphere- except racing .
Loud noises , hot woman, fast cars, tons of food etc etc etc
Thursday pole qualifying and Saturdays race ( the Pepsi 400) I have the suite tickets for ( 6 total) and also have saved two "alternate" seats should any friends want to attend ( couldn't let them in to the suite as I was someone else's guest). They didn't show so I saved those 2 freebie tickets for the Lockhart Tower seating area with the program stuff.
The Pepsi 400 is a good one since racing royalty was involved DALE JARRETT won and DALE EARNHARDT SR finished 2nd
Quite a race and had some unique occurrences as it was to my knowledge the ONLY race where Jeff Burton and Ward Burton both placed top 10. Ward's best year in NASCAR was 1999 so I consider it unique nostalgia. Others may not but I do as its a historical appreciation for unique races I like.
