    1952 Wheaties Otto Graham action pose.

    I had been looking for a nicely cut example for quite a while. I can see blue all the way around. Card surface looks flawless except maybe chipping or flaking in the lower left edge.

    Really thought that was Ronald Reagan

    Looking for FB HOF Rookies

    Somebody else thought it was a different Ronald.

    1999 Bowman's Best Nomar Garciaparra Atomic Refractor. I've been looking for this card for quite a while and I finally got one - in a very badly worded Ebay auction.
    https://www.ebay.com/itm/225510151522?nma=true&si=4Sjw1Jfd2nW9Ka9Np4R2zK2U%2FZw%3D&orig_cvip=true&nordt=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557


    I've bought & sold numerous Nomar parallels #/100 and they usually go for $30-$40 raw. This listing erroneously describes it as a Topps Chrome, and does not mention it's an Atomic Refractor. These errors likely lowered the number of potential buyers.
    It has a very clean surface as well as sharp corners & good edges. Definitely a future PSA grading candidate.

    Great find! Always exciting to “steal” an auction like that!

    For some reason, I like these better in a SGC case......

    I agree. I sub a group of T 206's a couple of years ago and they look good in PSA plastic. Last year I sent SGC a group and like you I like the look of the SGC holder better.

    Had been wanted a decetly centered 57 Mantle mid-grade for a while. Buddy that owns a shop just recently got these back. Couldn't decide which one I liked better so I bought them both.

    I dig your avatar...Pretty Cool Jell-O.... :)

    Bob Feller rookie. Crease in the lower right lowered the cost

    I only have 90 swell cards I got as a kid with Feller. Your rookie card was probably held by quite a few Feller fans over the years.

    He is from Van Meter, Iowa native. Feller was the name our friends called each other when we wanted to play ball. We didn't ask if you wanted to play, we just said "Let's go Feller."

    For the 61 auto set:

    I just snooped at your set. It's amazing. Really nice that you added scans so we could all enjoy them.

    I've really slowed down my purchases, but here is todays delivery. 1997 Bowman's Best Mirror Image Jeter/Garciaparra/Bocachica/Larkin Inverted Atomic Refractor (I included front and back scans). I think they say the print run on these inverted are like 25-50. nothing officially stated by Topps on print run or odds. I honestly never thought id be able to afford one, or find one for that matter since they almost never come up for sale. she isn't perfect, but its one.


    A few months ago someone listed one of these on Ebay for $65. They also listed other rarer Nomar cards quite cheap including the one 1997 Flair Showcase Legacy Collection #/100 that I'm missing. I missed them by minutes. I wonder if that buyer flipped it to you. I do own a BGS quad 9.5 Gem of the inverted non-refractor though.

    yea I saw that and missed it lol. I dunno this one has a defect inside the chrome layers unfortunately and looks like a wrinkle but isn't.

    Nice !! I don't believe that print run count at all, but they are very hard to find
    Blame that on the fact they are buried in quite a few Jeter collectors PC's

    I've had his brothers slabbed for years, but just haven't come across the atomic in my stash of 90's materials yet

    I have an inverted refractor too in my collection

    My first Yas card.

    Congrats! This card reminds me of one of the reasons I like sports cards so much - they tie to history and the times as much as the sport. Those sideburns are legit 70s! Awesome card!!

    Thanks. Yes I agree. That's why in love vintage cards.

    I've wanted one of these for 38 years!

    Wanted one (+Clemens, +Gooden) since long before I knew what PSA 10 meant. Rather before PSA existed or I'd have ever considered grading cards on a ten point scale.
