    @PNWcollector - love 55 Bowmans!! Especially the Mantle.

    2-3 years ago that card probably could have been had for $200-250. I was fortunate to grab it on eBay for around $400 last week since it only received a few bids oddly enough. Nicely centered, no creases/wrinkles, and no staining on the back. Just some love on the corners!

    Payton is well centered to boot!!

    WOW!! Beautiful and amazing pick-up Chris! That would be the cornerstone of my collection. Congrats buddy!

    A pitcher, in my mind, that is still remarkably under valued..... and No PED's. 5 Cy Youngs including 4 straight seasons in a row. 303 wins. Won the Triple crown for pitching in 2002 ~Wins, K's and ERA.

    great card i have a tiffany psa 9 but your ten is really nice.

    No recent card adds. While not a new add, dragged my old Atari 2600 Kenmark storage cabinet out. Repurposed for Card Saver storage. So, a "new" use o:)



    great idea.

    A couple of '55 R&S boats. Slo-Mo-Shun IV (misspelled on card) was owned by Stan Sayres (misspelled on back of card), who was from my hometown of Seattle. He and Donald Campbell, owner of the Bluebird, traded the water speed world record back and forth several times in the 1950's.

    Also snagged a pair of old salmon. 1888 Duke N74 and an 1889 A&G N8.

    I just finished my R&S Set and picked this up on eBay as a nice companion piece - from the 1989 Topps Auction.

    Kiss me once, shame on you.
    Kiss me twice.....let's party.

    Beautiful MJ. Maybe I'm wrong, who knows, but me says this is good entry point. Lock it away.

    Here is a recent pick up. I have always wanted this iconic sportscard...even though I collect baseball cards. The centering, color, registration and corners are high end for the assigned grade. Having the card in hand...the card actually exceeds my expectations for the assigned grade.

    seems like a VERY subjective/arbitrary/conservative PSA 9. I would send back for a review if I were you.

    two more recent pickups. for a total of $6 (not including shipping) I think I did well. I think I bought the last raw green prizm for around $40 on ebay (going rate). so to snag this one for $5 BIN was a no brainer.

    I ripped my first, and likely to be only, 1971 Topps Football Wax Pack.

    The goal was to pull a Bradshaw ROOKIE and this pack did not disappoint!!

    This Bradshaw is so close to being a great example with its centering front and back, print quality, color, corners etc. The Edge Gods, however, were not feeling generous and were a bit "chippy".

    Still a cool experience and will get the Bradshaw PSA graded and kept in my collection.

    hey UFFDAH,

    Pretty Cool on your 71 PSA 8 Wax Pack...

    "I ripped my first, and likely to be only, 1971 Topps Football Wax Pack"

    I hope that you busted the raw 71 wax pack, and not your PSA one.


    Awesome on the Terry Bradshaw :)

    Love all the nice Ashburn cards! Have been trying to add more of his cards to my collection as well.

    what happened to those edges. without those edges it would be a high graded card. great pull and still a great card!

    @KendallCat ... fabulous card in all aspects..... great photo.

    Just picked this one up from a board member, and after doing the deal I looked back through my old card photos on my IPhone and realize I used to own the card about 6 years ago. Welcome home Hank!

    I almost always go with ‘Like’ but the boomerang card finish gave me a genuine laugh.

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

    That is nice. Why do certain cards like it and the Csonka not have borders?

    As most of you know I almost never sell anything so I still have the 8.5 you sold me years ago. At the time you said it compared well to your 9 which could well have been this card.

    @cakes....... they divided the set in roughly half.... no borders like Piccolo and Csonka are the low numbers and half way thru the set they instituted the white borders.... not sure what number in the middle of the set they made the division..but roughly halfway thru 263 cards ~ :)

    2x All Star, 2x WS Champ, Many Red Sox fans were not too happy when he went to the Yankees in 2005.. These foil cards are really sensitive, that is for sure..


    Not a HoFer, at least not in my mind, but better than most of the guys being considered by the various committees the past ten years. What I'm saying is don't leave this card out of your future HoF rookie collection.
