In context with what Helio was saying, what has the postman brought you?
How about posting some of your latest buys?
I got this nice 61T Hicks RC from Quality - aka Jay - highly recommend his ebay stuff!
Also got a topps vault cartoon art piece, a 73T candy lid proof of Bill Freehan.
And lastly, not from the postman, but I pulled a Trevor Plouffe auto from Bowman Heritage pack.

I want to see the candy lid proof.
Now collecting:
Topps Heritage
1957 Topps BB Ex+-NM
All Yaz Items 7+
Various Red Sox
Did I leave anything out?
Magellan - He does look like Dwight Evans...eerie
The postman has been very good to me over the past few weeks.
That Plouffe auto is a nice card. The people on the Beckett boards love him, but they seem to love everyone except Matt Bush. He could be good, but I'd wait and see.
It was good mail the last couple days. I got Flex Mentallo #1 in 9.6 shape or maybe a little better. I also got #4, but it has a little spine stress and the corner got dinged in transit. Grr. Those are comics, by the way. For cards, I got the remained of a large lot of singles from TNT that they left out of the envelope from the last shipment. I also got a couple 9s for my 75 set. And I got my new credit card in the mail. I was thinking of "breaking it in" but instead I'll just go ahead and do a zero-percent balance transfer from my other card like I was planning.
2005 Origins Old Judge Brown #/20 and Black 1/1s, 2000 Ultimate Victory Gold #/25
2004 UD Legends Bake McBride autos & parallels, and 1974 Topps #601 PSA 9
Rare Grady Sizemore parallels, printing plates, autographs
Nothing on ebay
I've been buying a lot of raw lately; I'll have a ton of pics to post when they come back graded.

Here is a scan of the lid proofs I have picked up lately - also a Bando.
The Seaver has a nice crease, but when you are talking about limited proofs, you can't be choosy.
Data
You're a lucky guy! The Koufax is really nicely centered! Great pick ups!
Helio
Nice stuff - can you post a scan of the Flex #1 if you have the time.
Mark
Look forward to your posts...wish I wasn't so lazy - never seem to get around to sending stuff to PSA.
Thanx for the kind words and sharing your stuff!

don't worry, Mike - I'm spread too thin as it is....I'll just enjoy them through your posts.

Stone (Mike) -
Thanks!!
What is holding up that Hicks from being a 9?? It looks great. Also, nice score on the Lids... I can look at scans of other people's stuff all day. Keep'em coming!!!

Got the mantle card a few days ago. Topps 63, 53 and 54 are my favorite sets. Since Mantle didnt appear in the 64..and the 53 is far too expensive, im contented with my 63.
The card on the top right is a 47-66 Exhibits Aaron. The bottom left is a 47-66 Exhibits Mays.
The bottom right (bad scan, i know) is a 1954 Spic and Span Aaron Postcard. I already have the 54 topps....all i need now is the johnston cookies to complete my aaron rookie set!
Got this 1/4 gem the other day, the reverse though just makes the standard.
Mike that 61 is sweet. Data those cards are nice too. Actually everything posted thus far is very nice.
Among the jewels I find this GEM:
it is a 1/7 and I got it under SMR which as of late has been almost impossible
Very nice 63T Mantle! I never get tired of looking at them. The exhibits are sharp also...especially the Mays. Are you collecting the set? Grading it out?
Steve
Sweet 9's! Of course I remember Hickman. Nice Rookie Stars also! Aren't you expecting something?
Thanx for sharing guys!

Stone: Not collecting the set. I like to collect early cards of hall of famers, particularly aaron and mays. I saw the musial exhibits up for sale and was going to nab it, but decided i need to save the money. It's a really nice set to collect if one simply likes pictures and not design. And it is relatively cheap!
That 63 Mantle is really nice. I need a copy for my MVP set. he was the 62 AL MVP.
Steve
I like the 65 set. I didnt list it as my top 3 topps set, but it is definitely a set i wouldnt mind collecting. I have the carlton rookie and its a beauty!
If you set your scanner at a lower ppi - I believe around 100, you can get the file size down - then upload it here. I don't do it since the lower file size means a slightly fuzzy pic.

Mike
I'm planning on having the set completed by the time I'm 155!
your friend
Mike
No on the obaks.
I did also pick up this really nicely centered 52T Brown card. This is another set that I will have completed by the time I'm 169! Went under SMR - again, I was flying in under the radar that nite!
your friend
Mike
the one's I don't do that way I use 100dpi
Mike my pics look fuzzy?
<< <i>Mike my pics look fuzzy? >>
No Steve
Didn't mean to criticize - just not as sharp as I want but definitely fine!

I had a Nm/Mnt copy of him in 52 Bowman.
Collector of Vintage Golf cards! Let me know what you might have.
Hall of Famers from all 4 sports
Edited again cuz i finally got it. E
Are those the mini versions?
Nice pickup by your description tho - Lothar is doing the 87 and 89 Bkb set - not sure if he is doing the 88?
I have a nice Stockton RC - I'm thinking it was 88?

I'm not very happy with the Plante... What's with the pinky purple color in it? The second picture is of the real thing from the hockey hall of fame. Doesn't look quite right period, or am I just being picky? The Sawchuk I think is great however.
