I never post a card using seller pics, but we need a June thread and it's Rickey! Appropriate scans will be posted when it is in hand. Hope everyone had a great Memorial Day weekend!
Edit 6/7/21: Card is in hand, scans are below!

That is a super nice 7. If I graded it I would not be happy with the result.
I need a few more days to “Show off my June purchases”. The snail mail needs to arrive here and also I need to make sure that I am the winning bidder/buyer.
Purchased a hobby box of 2020 Topps Update for $60 last week. Said why not for the price. No really great rookies or anything. Pulled this from the silver pack. #199 of 199.

Here's a few that came in the mail today:
Put in a not-so-high offer for this card and was ecstatic when I woke the next morning to see the seller had accepted. Nothing beats a nicely centered 1969T Bench!
Not a purchase, but a gift from a work colleague after 27 years there that wraps up this week. Thunder was my first favorite player.
i got few more 83 topps in the mail can not wait to show them.
great centering!
Well if it comes to you wouldn't u be the winner ?!
They don't send to the losing bidder.. Lol
Won this for $3 n’ change in a Greg Morris Auction. PSA 9 pop: 5! Should have a legit shot at that! Great start to June!
Thanks! Finding a 7 that is centered without numerous serious print defects (this one has 1) is a challenge. It took a long time. After you stare at these 80 Topps for a while they start to look like 84 Fleer Update. Either they are centered (rare) or they surely are not..
You find a centered 80 Topps and then the print defects make your eyes burn. Never failed…

For sure. That is why I like the other end, find one that someone cried over already. They make me smile.

Nice card, but the edge chip in the lower right will prevent that from getting a 9.
And lower left corner. Any white showing kills 9 hopes. But nice '71 none-the-less and can't beat it for $3.
Hello All - picked up this Case back in December. 1981 was the year I first started collecting as a young buck.
That's a Gold Mine!
Not exactly a purchase. I guess I purchased the grades. But these just came back from PSA yesterday and I will be keeping them for the PC. The Morgan is too nice to sell in an 8 for me so they stay here.

Great cards. Always been fond of the 1976 Topps design (first cards I ever collected at age 10). How close are you to a completed set?
That Elrod Hendricks is smokin'!!!
Man those are gorgeous!!
I understand what you’re saying; I’ll try to get a better pic of it. For now we’ll have to agree to disagree, but thx! 😊.
Another Reggie and a Topps 70 Bernie
Thanks for the nice comments guys ! I have the set completed, multiples actually. But I only have 23 graded at the moment. I sent 80 in July and just got them back yesterday. Unfortunately I got a lot of 8's and lower. I'm selling them all off to pay for the grading fee's, but keeping the 2 gem's the morgan, and 20 PSA 9's. I will likely start buying sets again soon, combining, selling off, and grading. Basically is my MO. I like to keep searching for that perfect George Brett, instead of just buying one already graded.
Thanks,
Jeff

@stwainfan congratulations, that's a huge card!
Sharp Ryan 4
in my growing pile to send to PSA.
also saw the proof version on ebay so grabbed it too to match. these old huge holders are ridiculous. going to send it in for a reholder.

I was finally able to complete my 1951 Ringside set w/ this LAMOTTA. I’ve been looking for a high grade for a very long time
@stwainfan Nice pickup!
@dictoresno I feel your pain on the large slab. Of the 1100 or so Greg Maddux cards that I have, there is one that has that larger slab and it sticks out like a sore thumb.

waiting on cards from ebay still , but hopped down to the card shop to rummage though his $2-$5 bin for the fun of it and pulled out a bunch of cards .. The wayne gretzky is 1982 post cereal.
some of the other proofs are slabbed in oversized normal holders (with the mylar sleeves) instead of these graded pack slabs so ill just send them for reholdering.

Actually May purchases but finally had time to scan them. Especially like the 1963 NL Home Run Leaders - to me the greatest leader card in Topps history - 5 HOF - this one has been on my want list for a while.
Pretty cool on your 58 Tigers Big Bats.
I was excited to add these guys to my collection recently.
With all that white showing at the bottom edge and the chip in the lower right side edge, I believe this card will likely grade no better than PSA 7 and may even be a 6. If we see these things, certainly the graders will see them too... and perhaps more. Unfortunately I don't see any possible shot at a PSA 9 or even a PSA 8.
That one stood out to me as well.

Picked up a very nice ‘78 Reggie Record Breaker....six down, one to go!
This one was among my final ‘71 sub...by that point I was so beaten down I was eternally grateful for an 8! 😂
Added another Mickey via the 1947-66 Exhibit team card set. That's him, dead center and top row.

Arrived today: some vintage for the Cubs PC and growing Red Heart collection.
Great card. I also picked up a Kaline this month. A raw card I hope to grade some day.
Saw this at my LCS on Thursday and had to go back today to get it.
here is my lasted 83topps.
A few more low pop goodies for my Red Sox PC.
Yours gives me hope! I guess we shall see!
