    @AFLfan

    those are awesome!

    and i feel bad mrs collins. i have a bunch of similar old golf postcards. while the graphics and art on the front are always spectacular, i found the stamps, postmarks, postmark dates and the notes just as, and sometimes even more intriguing than the graphics on the front!

    i wonder if g.e. anderson ever got to take miss ethel to the candy shop? :)

    I picked up a nice handful of lacrosse postcards recently.

    Re first postcard: I bet there isn't one person in a thousand who writes like that anymore, maybe one in ten thousand.

    Oof, what is wrong with that Griffey that it got a 4.5?

    Hard/impossible to see on the scans but 4.5 seems accurate. There is some corner damage in the top left on the back and right corners and bottom right edge is soft along with the corner. Most of the issues are visible on the back when the card is in hand. Certainly presents very well at first glance!!

    Grabbed this off auction history as an interesting comparison. Here is a 5 of Sr. Could not find any 4.5s. Looking at the soft corner on both - they are actually fairly similar cards with fairly similar grades.

    Yes, that is a nice looking 5 for sure. Some of the lower grade cards present very well!

    I upgraded by base Piazza auto and added the gold version to my Rookie Cup chase through a recent private signing. Once the gates open back up in Newport Beach they'll be among my next sub.

    LOVE that card and Piazza. I have one exactly like it in grading now. B) Not auto'd though. Yours are way nicer.

    I say he's throwing a circle change but others disagree.

    Hiya Bobby

    On the "revere" thing? Some context would be nice - always enjoy why someone likes a particular player.

    Plus, I'm with you. Based on what I see? It looks like he's throwing a changeup - whether a "circle" not totally sure.

    Very nice card!

    These days, when I see that '77 Jones card I always hear Lou's voice from _Major League _ in my head: "We wear caps and sleeves at this level, son."

    I love signed sets and would love to hear more about your experience, if you're willing. Maybe a separate thread about why you chose to build a signed 1961 Topps set and your journey thus far?

    I added another vintage lacrosse postcard to the collection.........

    Does that say mother on the other side? If so, very appropriate for today.

    I believe it does. I have no idea what it is referencing, but someone thought it appropriate.

    Since Mantle is now back with Topps, I picked up a Project 70 card - ultra thick stock.

    The print run was 6656.

    Now the bonus! They seeded 70 Rainbow versions to the buyers - so odds are 95/1 - I got #1/70!

    Be careful with any that are autographed, Mike. 😂

    Curious about the rare, mysterious and beautiful 1951 Wheaties Premium Photos?
