Mail Call for July

Stone193 · March 21, 2005 12:51PM

So what has the mailman brought you lately? I just got these two very nice 52T commons and a raw T3.
I posted these two to offset all the Heritage talk I have done lately.

Some of the 52s have the photo with the halo effect like the 60 leafs.

Leo is a gray back variation - had to have something in keeping with Heritage! LOL

And the T3 is in pretty good shape - I really like the action shots! Out at Third.

So, thanx for viewing and bring on your mail please.

Mike, gorgeous cards! Now which Heritage set are they from?

Here's one that's on its way. I'm hoping PSA will see fit to cross it at par.

orion9578 · March 21, 2005 12:59PM

Im sure all the vintage guys will love this one, haha. But I did get it in the mail today so I suppose it qualifies!

Ryan

PS. Very nice cards Mike!!!

Stone193 · March 21, 2005 1:15PM

That's a sweet Ruth! I have a 5 - and most that I have seen are around that area - can't see why it can't cross to a 7 - who knows maybe an 8?!

Ryan
This is "Mail Call" and not vintage call - show us whatever came in - myself...I'm just as interested in modern as vintage.
Very nice Brady RC - thanx for sharing

The mail man was berry berry good to me today

got around 35 psa 8 1965 topps in the mail, all of which were nice! one was a lot of 25 that I needed almost 17 from and the others were all needed as well. Also in the mail was 2 psa 9's 65 topps. Im at 74% now and when i get to 75% I may give it a rest for a bit.

WOW THAT IS A NICE RUTH JR!!!

Stone193 · March 21, 2005 1:23PM

Whoa Steve
Those are beauties! Going to rest at 75% That's like me saying I'm going to take a rest...after I picked up two more T3's and 3 T9's, I promised the same...let's see who holds out the longest?

Thanx for posting
Super bunch - I need to take another look at your registry!

Knuckles · March 21, 2005 2:11PM

Great stuff Mike! I don't collect much baseball but those T3's of yours that you post now and then are pretty captivating.

jrdolan: You should crack it and submit. If it has a good chance at a 8.

yawie99 · March 21, 2005 2:49PM

I've started collecting these and picked up my first HoFer in a trade last week:

Southerncards · March 21, 2005 2:59PM

jrdolan - please please please dont break that Sanella out! It is absoluetly stunning in that holder. The black insert make it look amazing!

Congrats on a sweet card!

I got a few goodies in the mail today, a 65 Yaz and 65 Kaline, some 77/78 Topps HOF's and a 2005 Leaf? Sportscasters insert of Killebrew #/70

wolfbear · March 21, 2005 5:19PM

Nothing earthshattering today.
Just three commons with great eye appeal.

Only noteworthy because they give me a chance
to plug the standout seller on eBay that I bought them from : kyshasports

windcarver5 · March 21, 2005 8:21PM

That T3 is outstanding!!

I'm new to vintage

but I'd like to thank you for showing some
really outstanding examples of said vintage for newbies like me.

And BTW Mike, thanks, just what I need, new cards to collect!!

envoy98 · March 22, 2005 2:45AM

Well, I got this in the mail...

Edited to actually attach the pic. oops.

By the way Mike, those '52's are GORGEOUS!

Stone193 · March 22, 2005 3:02AM

Yawie
Congratulations on the first HOF'er - Chief Bender! Great card! Prewar vintage is really getting popular!

Wolf
The 67T set is an all time favorite of mine - bought the set all at once - kind of the wussy way to do it - it was raw - back in 1990 - prices were better then too! The Day card is a nice looking 7 also.

Envoy
Great looking auto card - with some of the best of the Cards!

Thanx for sharing these guys
Occasional show and tell brings out the really super stuff. I have made my first submission to PSA for some of my T3s - will scan and show when they come back.

boggs301012 · March 22, 2005 3:05AM

1987 TOpps 10
1998 SP 10
1989 Topps 9

But this is my favorite. This one is on ebay I bought a few of them.

Stone193 · March 22, 2005 6:31AM

boggs
What is that sweet spot going at? I like the way he signed the wood - different from the typical "cut auto" space! Are you going to snatch it? If so, good luck.

your friend
mike

MajorDanby · March 22, 2005 6:44AM

This one is coming to my mailbox soon. Working on the 51 bowman set top to bottom....with the top being the big cards in the set.

Onlypsahockey · March 22, 2005 6:56AM

I wanna play! But my damn scanner chit the bed.

Got 2 PSA 9's for my 62 parkie set in the mail #7 Horton and #24 Laforge.

Boggs- Love that sweet stick but the auto looks like "Warl Fuzz"

Maj. - Nice 51 splinter. I love that card.

Yaw - Baseball? WT? Hockey bro HOCKEY!

Win - You can't rest at 75%. You get your free subs then.

Bob

yawie99 · March 22, 2005 7:11AM

Yeah, I know, man. I dunno if it's the pathetic state of the NHL or what, but I figured I'd take a little break from hockey. I'm still looking for a few upgrades for my C56 and '53 Parkie sets and there are still some holes in my V145-1 set, but like the game itself, I guess I'm on indefinite hiatus. I've been tracking some Ice Kings and '30s O-Pee-Chee stuff, though, so I'm sure the bug will bite again sometime soon.

Anyway, cool stuff everybody. Love that Cardinals triple-signed card, envoy.

justanoldtimer · March 22, 2005 7:14AM

Rose is in the safe

and I just won the Schmidt

justanoldtimer · March 22, 2005 7:19AM

IJustLoveCards · March 22, 2005 7:56AM

ok, please someone give me a hint here...

Onlypsahockey · March 22, 2005 7:58AM

RED X

Stone193 · March 22, 2005 8:10AM

Great stuff today!

MD
That's a really nice looking 5 on the Williams - solid centering - good eye appeal!

Bob
When you get the scanner up - let's see those Parkies!

Justan
Sweet Rose! Get it? Nice pick on the Schmidt RC also. And I will never tire of seeing that 10 Morgan! That's an impressive card all the way around!

A76
Are you doing the set? Very nice.

Nearmint
That's a really nice Unitas card! Appears to be a high end 9.

Thanx for sharing your latest pick ups - this is very enjoyable!

CADILLACN97 · March 22, 2005 10:21AM

Looks like the postal system was on time today!! Great looking stuff, i really like the boggs. Great looking card!! Just got me 2 more McCovey's for my registry set. Doesn't matter when i really get them though, they are entered as soon as the auction ends.

sayheykid54 · March 22, 2005 10:44AM

This card was just received and was signed for by my unknowing neighbor four doors down. I couldn't believe of all the packages I almost lost this one.

Stone193 · March 22, 2005 11:14AM

Sayhey
Great card!!

Thanx for sharing

I just wanted to resurrect one of the first threads on collective displaying.

I pulled this from some packs I picked up at Target today.

grote15 · July 1, 2017 6:56PM

Felicia sighting...

Nice card, Mike~I haven't bought any modern packs in years.

Thanx Tim. A lot of stuff I had no idea what I was looking at.

Did you remember that Felicia also posted as Bearsnum34?

When we had titles under our names - mine was Game Board Geek...

That's my major focus.

Been waiting for this game for some time.

DICEBALL - The Ray-Fair Corporation 1937

It's in nice shape, appears to be complete and has the instructions!

Of interest - the dice were patented back in 1928 - I'm guessing from another dice game. Have not tried to play it, so I have no idea how realistic it is.

Some games result in football scores while others are closer to the real thing.

What got me interested in board games was the "graphics" - I don't have the patience to be in a league or anything like that.
Tho I do play Yahtzee with my wife - she really enjoys board games.

Thanx for viewing and Happy 4th!!!!

divecchia · July 4, 2017 4:42PM

Mike,

Nice pickup on the DICEBALL game. It looks in really nice shape and with instructions to boot.
thanks for sharing.

seebelow · July 4, 2017 9:54PM

thanks KC.....dipping my toe back into the water......what are u working on now? anything new?

just won a pwcc auction (not the MJ) and once i got it in my hands......got the bug back!!!!!! ugh

seebelow · July 4, 2017 9:57PM

oh, and since u can see it..... This is much easier to post now vs using photo bucket....just dragged it over and bam!!!

Thanks buddy for the reply. KC....thats a gorgeous '53 Mantle as your avatar.....why only a 5?....looks way higher than that and u got the red corner-perfect!

TheMick · July 5, 2017 5:41AM

My first card for July is this 1968 Clemente.

Arsenal83 · July 5, 2017 4:38PM

Love that Clemente.

Good to see you back, and IIRC you had some sweet stuff so dipping your toe in means a Mantle rookie or PSA 10 Ryan rookie

Thanks for the note on the 53 Mantle, and it is one of my favorite cards in my collection. Looks like a high end 8, but has a slight hard to see discoloration near the top of the card. Have turned down multiple offers that were tempting, but I could not find another example to replace it without spending $20k+.

Not sure what I am looking for at the National this year. Would like to find a sweet 2015 CJ Jackson to pair up with the Cobb, but those don't grow on trees. Glad to hear you are back!

KC

vintagefun · July 5, 2017 6:56PM

Mike - I don't collect games but absolutely love seeing your additions.

The hardest part of collecting for me is finding a focus and stickers my to it.
And I'm constantly tempted to delve into things I know nothing about because they just seem so cool, that I want em.

Fortunately, I've largely narrowed mine down and for the most part stay true, but the "I gotta get me one of those" bug, does occasionally hit. There are so many great collectibles. Staying focused is hard work.

LOTSOS · July 5, 2017 8:00PM

This is my first Tobacco Card. T51 Murad. Not hockey but it is of my alma mater. Cheap ebay buy but it is well centered. Since I have zero experience with cards of this time frame I was kind of surprised by the in hand look and feel. Anyone have an opinion on authenticity based on the scan or any quick tips on how to spot a fake with these?

Thanks,
Kevin

Stone193 · July 5, 2017 9:26PM

Thanx for the kind words guys.

1952 Wheaties baseball tin

The set of four includes Kiner, Rizzuto, Musial and the tough one - Jackie Robinson.

4 7/8X5 1/8"

Distribution: directly glued into the side of the Wheaties box - so there's usually seen a hunk of cardboard on the backs.

Just adding this to my "food issue" collection.

robert67 · July 6, 2017 6:06AM

Stone193 · July 6, 2017 2:24PM

Thanx Robert - here's another I picked up - these are very reasonable - the Robinson is hard to find and very pricey tho.

Stone193 · July 8, 2017 9:13PM

Know I should be waiting for the National but this was a nice card at a very fair price.

Eddie Waitkus - Phillies

Had a pretty good 11 yr BA at .285 - 2 time AS - 48 and 49.

More noted for having been shot by stalker Ruth Steinhagen - this inspired the writing of The Natural.
