I've had a couple come in this month but this one is hard to find . Hopefully they won't take forever to add it to the Master List as I'm still waiting on a few cards to be added as well .

Gorgeous cards. The Dryden looks to have a gun stain above the NA and the La Fleur looks to have some staining on the top left edge to the left of the C.
Thanks! I think they are probably graded right, technically anyways. Early years would have been graded higher. But, they look great to my eye and once I had the Dryden in a 5 made no sense to grab a Guy in a 7 that looked like the 5.
Always liked this as a last Roberto card. Feel like the centering and corners are reasonably nice for an 8. A little bit of print issues/dots around his name that dont come through well in pics but even with that still like it a lot.
Been looking for a centered Musial Red Heart for a while and was happy to find this one. Very slowly working on '64 Stand-Up HOF set and love adding cards from the Lionel Carter Collection.

I love that Musial but that Mays is amazing. Colors are perfect!
More commons for the 1975 set. I am at about 80% complete, so I was lucky to find this many cards at once on eBay. I have given up on NM cards and just look for good registration, color and centering.
Grades popped today, had some nice results.
The Schilling is #/20 - I could have been upcharged as it's a $250 card raw. Not enough data I guess.
The Ortiz is #/172. Great additions to my 2004 Red Sox champions PC.
I really wanted a 10 on the Abreu as ultra modern in a 9 really aren't worth much more than raw. Still, it's #/25 & he's off to a great start.
The Wakefield is a nice upgrade to my PSA 8. Love those 1998 Topps Chrome Refractors.

I know the 75 set is iconic with some great rookies, but it had some of the worst photos of the decade. So many bad close ups and bad airbrush jobs.
I have always loved that Madlock though.
Can there ever be a bad airbrush job once you have seen this?
Got this today . Again nothing special but its a Top Pop from this set . I was going to buy a few of these stragglers from this set , a few years back but didn't because they were only a " 9 ". Needless to say I realized that these few stragglers were also hard to find .

Beautiful set. I'm currently collecting the entire set in PSA 8/9 condition. My goal is to have it completed in 4 years. I still need 400 cards so I have a long way to go.

This one just popped yesterday and I’m very excited to share it here. I’m happy any time I find these TriFold’s and some have proven tougher to find than others. This particular one already has a decent population (11) and they’re usually found in low grade condition so it’s typically more about the eye appeal as they take on considerable wear just because they’re so incredibly flimsy and were often a disappointment to the recipient. These were sent in plain white envelope to fans for a few reasons but often as a response to an autograph request. Some of mine came with a thank you apology letter to the autograph seeking fan, a season ticket re order form and one buddy says they came to him with newsletters so the manner of distribution varied but it’s fair to say that they were often taped or pinned to bedroom walls and closet doors and cast aside or preserved damaged. Therefore, it was truly quite the surprise when this one graded out Top of the Pop!

Some modern pickups. Was impressed with Jack's 2 starts and was shopping and the prices were high. Then he got a blister on his finger and they felt cheap so I loaded up. Like this Jackson. An image variation from the High Number set. Like a lot of those images compared to the standard. Sorry about the pics. My phone keeps twisting stuff sideways.
I am surprised at how difficult it is to replace many of the OPC cards that i am chasing. Despite the high populations, I find so many 8s and 9s with significant tilts that exclude them from buying.
Happy this finally arrived. Looks nice in person. That discussion about the 58 59 Topps batch that was won pushed me in this direction so thanks to the OP and those who contributed to the discussion. Love the old Os logos on this card.

Picked this up at the Strongsville show. Milestone card for me. It completes my '54 Red Heart set. Thrilled to finally have this in my collection

three recent hall of famers:
and three classic Yankees:
Been looking for a 71 Lafleur that paired well with my Dryden. Most Lafleurs, even higher grade ones, are off L/R.
Grabbed this one, and a shot of his cousin:
Both look under graded. What's the reason they only received a 5?
Dryden has a smudge, the Lafleur not seeing anything other than a t/b to make it EX vs NM. Suspect a minor surface issue when I get it in hand.

I like these too but felt Roberto deserved his own space.

Terry Bradshaw was AMAZING!!

I love that Musial but that Mays is amazing. Colors are perfect!
Replaced a card I sold years ago and regretted it. Love the design and colors of the '58 Topps set.
One current HoFer, one future HoFer...
Gorgeous cards, Brad! Lionel Carter is known to have had high quality cards...
Beautiful Mathews!
Yes they are. When I opened it up my jaw dropped.

Can there ever be a bad airbrush job once you have seen this?
The funniest/worst part of that Roberge is how off-center the Astros name is on the jersey.
So much badness.
It actually looks like the cap and hair are real and Roberge's face is airbrushed over another player! LOL!
How about Rogie's head on someone else's body...
Rogie's neck looks like the butt end of a roasted turkey.

These came in today. Nice group with a couple of Pop 1's!

Sold most of the stars and rookies from my 1980s sets back when things were nuts price wise.
I'm slowly adding them back this year to (re) complete my sets.

The goat goalie. Beauty, shows really nice.
Thank you.

picked up a few more for the Football HOF Set..
Love that Charley. I'd pay more than the usual price on a 9 for that. Looks kind of 10ish to me. Beautiful card.
I have an 8 I thought would come back a 9. Maybe they are not too generous with that one.

Beautiful ‘59 B.Robinson!
Thanks Brad and Mint. Was looking at it thinking okay, the way they grade today, I see why 8. But I have had 10s that looked worse.
