@stwainfan ... that is a dashing PSA 5 sir....
Not worth more than a couple of dollars, but "dazzling" none the less.
Thanks.

This card has a very special place in my heart. Possibly the first baseball card I ever saw. In the Fall of 1973 I was at my friend Sean’s house and saw it on his dresser. Not yet seven years old I had only purchased (and was still purchasing) Wacky Packages. I wouldn’t buy baseball cards in earnest until the 1974 cards came out a few months later, but I was intrigued!
Pulled this from a Cello Pack earlier today!!! It's fresh, sharp and GLOWS!! I took a bunch of rip pics but just sharing this for now as I'm in a deer stand.
Fantastic!
Just need the 1961 to finish my run.
Kiss me twice.....let's party.

hey Ironmanfan,
Nice rack...
hey PaulMaul,
Cool story...
I won this 1964 Sandy Koufax card in REA tonight. I pulled a 1964 Koufax from a pack...back in the day. It brings back good memories! I am happy to add it to my Koufax collection...
Won these 2 at REA last night
This one was from REA and I can’t wait to get it in hand. I have always loved this set. Maybe it is because it was years between seeing photos of a 1968 3-D and actually seeing one in person. Someone had a whole display case of them at a National years ago and I put them on my someday list. Clemente has soared past my ability to purchase so I went with the only other HOFer in the set. Super excited to add this one.
Brad…
That is a cool looking card! And he is a Cincinnati Reds!
REA has the best unopened offerings…but I had a bad experience with a 1975 Topps mini cello pack PSA-9 with George Brett RC on top. I had it listed on eBay last year…someone tipped off PSA it was either suspect or fake. I received a communication from PSA to return it…which I did. Nine months later…PSA called and confirmed that indeed it was fake. I received a complete refund for my costs…but my confidence in Steve Hart and PSA in unopened took a hit for me that Steve authenticed it and PSA slabbed it as a PSA-9. I no longer have interest in unopened
That says “counterfeiters” are becoming very, very good at replicating an authentic unopened pack.
Awesome card!

Congrats!!!! That is a a major league grab for sure.
hey brad31,
That's cherry...
Added another 56 Mantle last night to my run and price was much less than I expected. Can’t wait to see it in hand. Also, grabbed a couple more packs to make my box down the road. Now I have to sell a few more things to finish getting a few funds for another big unopened item 🤔
While not his "rookie", this is the second card and has far greater eye appeal than his first Uno card.

hey KendallCat,
Nice wax...
December PSA mail days. The Buzzer Beaters was an SGC crackout, as was the Significant Signings (a BGS). The blue /5 Carmelo was a recent raw pickup as was the acetate Carmelo auto. Very pleased with the grades. Below those were two raw pickups that just delivered.

Recent PSA return
Some Fleers for my 86 set https://www.psacard.com/psasetregistry/basketball/autographs/1986-87-fleer-autographs/imagegallery/308095
Some 69s (love these)
Few other Miscellaneous
69 Topps is a very nice set to get signed.
86 fleer is difficult due to the backgrounds. Not sure if gold, blue, or other ink is best.
With december here had to scrounge at the card store as its been busy with holiday shoppers here ( only 1 sports card store in the whole city ) . took pics of some of what i pulled from blaster packs and fat packs . managed to pick up 6 blaster packs and 5 fat packs .
Huge Mcdavid Fan here.... here is a pop.1 RC from the '15 SP Authentic set.....
A gift from my son. A nice memory of 2016.
I just got these cards back from my dual grade sub. I bought the Carew and Bench graded before the singing and cracked out. The other 3 were raw. I did pull the Walker out of a pack during the 2019 National at the BBCE booth.
The Carew was a SGC 4 and the Bench was a PSA 4.5
One more for the Aaron run.

You really do this collecting thing right
I've been looking for one of these for a long time.......
Rexvos...
Thanks for the nice compliment! It is very humbling to receive such nice words from fellow collectors on this board...and I always enjoy looking at the purchases by others...it is a very enjoyable hobby! Everyone's purchase has special meaning to each collector and seeing the different goals collectors are pursuing is very interesting to me whether a special team, HOFs, or ties to their childhood etc...

I picked up this nice Phil Jackson from my local card shop yesterday.
This card is in the 1957 topps HOF set.

Been on the hunt for a nice Jim Brown on card auto for a few months, glad to have won this yesterday.
