First?

Happy New Year, everyone!!!!

This item came home yesterday and I opened it after midnight so I could kick off the new year right! A classic and familiar posed photo, this image is one that was reused many times throughout the career of the switch hitting legend. One of just seven graded examples, it is quite simply a very beautiful copy:


Now let’s see what you guys picked up to start off the new year!!!

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

    Wow Chris…that is one impressive collection that you are putting up for sale. The Jim Brown on top of the cello and the 1971 Topps football cello box are insane! Good luck on the auctions.

    Am sure you will do well. I can’t imagine how hard it is to let a lot of these go. That Orr, Payton Cello and Murray rookie all catch my eye. You definitely have something for every collector within those cards. Good luck on the sales.

    Chris…

    I have my eye on an item in a current Goldin Auction…just hope we are not eyeing the same item…cause I can not compete against you! 😩

    The top pic is the Probstein listing I bought, and the middle and bottom are the card I received. The back matches the unique (gum? Wax?) stain, but the front picked up a blue ink stain on the top left. It also has a crunched lower right corner not evident in the listing scan. Wondering if it’s worth doing a return? I was very excited about this one and now bummed out.

    Edit: thanks guys, I did go with a return.

    Bought some of these from BBCE. Nice cross-over of 80s pop and wrestling. Some cool wwf cards including Hogan, Capt. Lou and Wendy Richter included.

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

    RETURN ASAP!! You will never grow to like this card and I would leave negative feedback for the deceptive photos.

    Exactly. Return it while you can. Every time you look at the card all you'll see are the flaws.

    I was sure Jackson had been a free agent (but looked it up anyway).

    Wow @redlegs that Reggie is beautiful! Such a great image, but finding it in that grade is just outstanding.

    I realize this is truly a "December" add - but didn't get to them until this week!
    By brother-in-law is a flea-market junkie and bought me one boxes each of score 91 Series 1 & 2 baseball for Christmas....
    He knows of my fondness for baseball cards :)

    They have been ripped!
    Here are the highlight results:







    On another note -
    Can anyone assist in adding the 7 unopened packs to a "unopened pack grading submission"?
    These are the only 7 ungraded unopened packs I own - and I think the minimum is 10 packs?
    OR, I would be VERY happy to add your (3 or greater than 3 packs) to a submission I would submit.

    Please let me know..

    Picked up this rack from a board member 😉 and pretty stoked to add another 75 rack to my group. Plus I picked up 12 lbs or bubble wrap with it in the packaging!

    Mrburns, I had my eye on that Seaver but pulled back and got these instead. Congratulations!


    Thanks, nothing wrong with those beauties. Congrats to you as well!

    And now I just got an email (after I paid the invoice) that the RJ rookie was a 'glitch' and not available to buy so they're refunding that money. I have no idea what that's about but that's the one thing I bought I really wanted.
