  • << <i>Bought these 4 Mantles raw about 30-35 years ago.

    Just now starting to get all of our Mantles graded by PSA.

    Needless to say, I'm very pleased with the grades.

    Do you have any idea why PSA used 2 different sized holders for the Bazookas? That '66 looks like it could do some major sliding around in there whereas the '64 fits just right - what gives?

    Thanks Snorto, It's a photo of the Teddy. Pretty lousy I know. I've got a decent scanner, but think I lost the power cord last year ? and I'm too lazy to look for it. image

  • The Munson card is the coolest 70s baseball card I think. I almost have to brush dirt off me just looking at it. Nice.

    Someone mentioned this card on a different thread a while back. It finally found it's way home from eBay to me to Newport and back. The scan does not do it justice as it looks awesome and I love it!

    Now back to hunting for the final cards for my boxing sets.

    Cheers

    Matt, does that card bounce all around the inside of the slab like lost of my psa games used cards do?
  • halosfanhalosfan Posts: 2,634 ✭✭✭✭
    Some do ... Some don't. This one is fine. I'm not a fan of the HUGE slabs

  • First and foremost, welcome back Rube!

    I went a little crazy with the vintage stuff. I have the cards, already, but my quadriplegia prevents me from being able to scan them, so I'll just post the ebay photos. Mind you I'm the type that isn't isn't too condition sensitive. Enjoy the show!

    Pele "rookie" card. Have no clue if its really a rookie, but it was listed as one. No clue about the history of soccer cards.

    '33 Goudey Adolfo Luque (one of 1st Cuban ballplayers)... This guy was MEAN. He's beat the crap out of a heckler, slugged Casey Stengel in the face, and charged the other dugout with a bat. Not too bad of a pitcher, either.

  • Love the Cobb auto, the 1954 Topps, that awesome GU card and many of the others.

    A couple less cooler cards, but they are part of the All-Time Dolphins set, so I like them. The Mare is a pop. 3, somewhat rare comparibly to other all-time RC.

    Always nice to check off another card ehh Mark? I tried a few times, but could never muster the patience.

    After a month away at Cali, I was pleased to see Henry Yee gave this photo the Type 1 designation.

    55 Mays 8 is very nice, that is in my opinion the toughest card around to find in excellent condition!

    I won this from Heritage auctions last night. I had been looking for one of these for a very long time.

    Not a card, but it's football related. 1925 Rose Bowl RPPC unused. I don't have a lot of football postcards but liked this one

    I picked up this very nice item a couple of weeks ago for only $10. It is a Tony Perez autographed 1968 Cincinnati Reds scorecard. When I received it I was suprised that the condition of the scorecard was Near Mint and unscored.

    Ladder - that Cobb auto is a beauty!

    freddyp23 - nice Reggie rookie it presents nicely for the grade.

    halosfan - that card is alright... it could use a little more star power on it though. image

    Here are my highlights for the week starting with a Slingin' Sammy auto for my 1997 Leaf Signature Series 8x10 set. Sammy was really selling that action shot with his facial expression!

    image

    Next up a souvenir ticket from the Orlando Thunder (the most feminine pro football team ever?) WLAF debut and a Broadway Joe Upper Deck Heroes 'graph:

    image

    Lastly a few additions to my TAA and Nu Card sets. The Four Horsemen card I picked up at a (hopefully) bargain to flip at some point as I already have a well centered one for my set:

    Enjoy the last fleeting hours of the weekend... Monday morning will be here before we know it.

  • Another addition to my 1960 Topps Set...

  • elsnortoelsnorto Posts: 2,012 ✭✭
    A busy mail week, but not much worth scanning, mostly a bunch of commons for the various sets I am working on. I thought this was cool enough to share though since I have only seen one offered up on eBay in over 2 years. It is an XFL player's handbook...

    imageimage

    The tape on the back is on the protective bag it is stored in, but the binding does have some wear on it unfortunately. Makes for a pretty interesting read... definitely not as lucrative as life in the NFL to say the least.
