Just six of them. I'm up to 5 now, but still need the most popular, Harry Pattee. There's a couple of other cards that are sometimes considered horizontals, but their acceptance isn't universal. I think Jack Dunn does look better sideways, but the background isn't like the universally recognized horizontals. I don't have one, but you can see one here.
purchased psa 8 from mickeyssportscards couple years ago. psa 6 NQ mantle came w/ entire set i purchased from shaqfu/redzonecards. this one i bought this week, i really liked the card and was satisfied w/ asking price, wouldn't of bought psa 6 and psa 8 usually are NOT (sorry) sold at SMR.
I've been picking up all kinds of stuff, so here goes...
First off, HOF autographs including a Cochrane from Mastronet in October and some others.
After 13 years I finally grabbed a 1992 Topp Gold set as well as the Gold Winners set. I'm happy to finally have this card, I guess you had to have been collecting in 1992 to know what it means...
I also picked up a bunch of oddball sets but haven't scanned them in yet.
Stone, the Merkle is a 4 (perhaps a tad generous due to the light vertical crease at the top) and the Randall is a 2. I wasn't really expecting a higher grade on the Randall because of that spot on back, which I'm assuming is some kind of tape burn, but the card otherwise looks terrific.
Here's another real nice 2 from the invoice. Unfortunately, I was expecting a better grade with this card. There's a very small spot where it looks like some sort of liquid dripped on the card to the left of Moran's face, but it hardly jumps out at you. I don't know if I overlooked it when I submitted it or just didn't think it'd impact the grade, but I really thought this one would be a 4.
By the way, if you ever want to play Guess the Grade with my images, you can right click them and go to Properties. The grade is the last digit in the file name.
I might have a few more pics to post later, but I'm also weighing what cards to take to eBay and when. I actually got a 6 and a 4 of Bobby Byrne on this invoice, but I'm leaning toward selling the 6 - especially since it's a former SGC 60 that I got in a trade. Actually the 4 was a former PSA 2 that looked way too good for that grade. Cracked it out, performed a little card alchemy and voila - it's now a 4.
By the way, great sigs, brumbach. That Brien Taylor is an epic card - certainly worthy of a hobby time capsule! Seriously, though, ink sigs on vintage cards just look so damn awesome.
This is a work of art!!!! One of the hobby highlites of the 92 season and a major bust to collectors!!!! That set was going for some serious coin for 1992 and people were chasing his RC like crazy!
Thanx for sharing Brought back some great hobby memories for me - especially since my son was at his height of collecting as a child - any father knows what that feels like.
Flipping 4.14 for this MINT alexander rookie numbered to 2000 in a 100 dollar PER box..which had 2 rookies per box back in year 2000...wowzers what a deal!!!
Not vintage but it's Fuhr I decided to collect all of his 80's cards.. Red Rooster issues everything (trying for all 10's) to go along with the mask I picked up at the Toronto Expo.
I placed a bid on his rookie mask but that didn't last long and I didn't have the means to continue.. I can't believe the replica mask exactly like mine went for $800ish when Don sells them for $240ish.
Nah, I was strictly window shopping. But I do wish I had bid on a couple of the card lots they had. Resonable prices, I think, on the '33 OPC and Hamilton gum lots.
<< <i>I paid 115 for it...which I dont think was too bad...yes, an 8....I think my '62 is just as nice and that is graded a 7...I paid 95 for that one. >>
Just picked up an 84 fleer set and all the major stars are dead on. Best centered set I have bought in a long time and I think the Mattingly is a strong 9, and on a good day?
I've also never bought anything graded below a PSA 7 before these cards. And although I would love to get these beauties in PSA 7 or 8 range, that would be financially impossible for me, especially after I start buying the key cards.
That being said, I'm still impressed by how good a PSA 6 card looks, especially examples that are nicely centered. Two more....six down, 94 or so to go.
I have a question about posting phoptos/scanns. How do you post it into your message so it just "appears" instead of creating a jpg link that has to be clicked on??? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks-Claude
Claude, I'm a computer idiot, so I can't help you much. My bro-in-law has his own website and hosts the pictures for me. I think there are other websites that will host your picks for free, others on the board can probably help you out. I was having the same problem, and couldn't get a good picture at 50KB, but I needed a "real" computer guy to sort it out for me.
Stingray, I'm with you, those 84's look great. How are you coming along percentage-wise on finishing?? If I recall, all those 80's sets had 792 cards.......that's a boatload of PSA cards.
Barry, that Rose looks better than a 7. Very nice cards.
Zef, I have that mattingly in a PSA 9 and yours looks better. I'd send that one in, nice card!!!

This is my first E95 card. It's a PSA 2 I purchased off eBay.
I cracked this E93 out of a GAI 2 holder. Still a 2.
Probably one of my favorite T206's I just submitted. A PSA 5 that fills a St. Louis hole.

as usual, nice cards. That Mullin is great. His expression makes him look like a zombie.
I'm sure its great to get a PSA5 back on a T206

Curious...why did you collect the card in all three grades?
And, yes, TGIF!!!!
Merry Christmas

On the Randall card, is that a scotch tape mark or what on the back?
What grades did the cards get? Just curious?

if its not as good in person.....its on the market...i own a nice 7 but i couldnt pass up on the possibility...looks PERFECTLY centered.....
I got the mask from Don Scott he can make a replica of any mask. www.vintagemask.com
So far I have a Sawchuk, Plante and now the Fuhr. I would like to add a Dryden (the bullseye mask) to the collection next and also a Cheevers.
The Espo in particular looks like a blazer. I'd consider cracking that a couple times and seeing what it comes back as.
Didn't bid on anything else, how about you?
