    Nice T206 with very rich blue colors! Are you doing the set?

    Scooter

    I really like the classic "pastel" coloring of those cards - just like the T3s. Are you doing the set?

    And last Cincy - I don't see any pics on my screen?

    Mike,
    Yep, I am going to try to get as many T206'S as is fiscally responsible! I really like the Pittsburg player cards in this set, but, obviously, there's a snag with getting the entire Pittsburg team. image

    Very nice on the high grade vintage cards. It's hard to believe that some of these older cards survived that many years in such great condition.

    Very nice Campy item. image

    It's a very nice auto, but I'm not sure if it's real or not. I have not seen enough of them. Item is very nice just the same, especially at that price.

    Congrats on your pick up.

    This is something different.

    I received these 5 different 1995 Nolan Ryan 3-D All-Star Fanfest badges over the last few days. These badges were worn by different groups of people that worked or attended the 1995 All-Star Fanfest. There are 4 other badges that I am looking for. They are the MVP, PERFORMER, RETAIL and SPECIAL GUEST badges.

    Jery

    Have you received the Campy auto yet?

    Obviously it's a "pre-accident" sig. And to be honest, I'm no expert but it looks pretty darn good!

    Check out this 1948 auto - for what ever reason, my browser on this computer at work is not giving me the same stuff as the one at home and there's no way to copy the properties?

    If this comes back OK by PSA/DNA - you got a great deal IMO!

    Good luck

    My (non-expert) opinion on the Campy autograph is that it looks like there are a few "starts and stops" in the signature. I agree, it does look like a nice pre-accident autograph. However, look at areas like the 'C'. From the scan, it looks like there are a few times where the person signing it stopped and re-started, which is not something a person does when just signing their name. The ink flow is what tells me this is not a good autograph. But hey, for that price, the frame and mat and Perez Steele card are still a great price without the autograph!
  • KnucklesKnuckles Posts: 2,512 ✭✭✭
    Nice pick up Jery. With such a small picture it's hard to tell if it's real or not. Post or e-mail me a large scan of the autograph when you have it. I can't see why someone would go through the trouble of framing it so nicely if they knew the autograph was fake to sell it for so little and the seller looks good to me.

    I didn't even look at the auto - I didn't even have my glasses on!

    I agree, those do look like (hesitation) start, stop type dots in the C. Or a leaky pen?

    I would still have it looked at tho.

    As a precaution, I would pay for the auto with 10 3 dollar bills.....

    Sweet card. Is there anyone cooler than Laimbeer?

    I don't think so, either.
  • KnucklesKnuckles Posts: 2,512 ✭✭✭
    Got this today.. this is my all time favourite card next to the Gordie Howe from the same set. One day I'll upgrade it to a nicer one but as per my available funds this will do nicely for now. image

  • Not the most amazing card in the world, or in the greatest grade, but has great eye appeal for me, and a fantastic addition to my slowly growing 1956 PSA set. A little beat up on the corners, but for the price I got it, I can't complain. Enjoy my new baby.

  • Stone I haven't a clue if it's real or not, I've already paypal the guy. When it comes it will be interesting to see.

  • nice cards, everyone.

    stone - the epdg didnt bring in a huge premium over the traditional piedmont or sweet c back...smr lists a psa 4 as 150...i paid 25 dollars more, which is expected.

    That 54 Sawchuk is really nice. Those cards are a great design.

    Hey Hockey fans

    I can finally relate! I found this card and had no idea I owned it.

    It's an OPC Gretsky - I think 2nd yr?

    It's got a tilt but not too bad of a card?

    The Sawchuk is an amazingly respectable 5! Great eye appeal. With the upgrade money, you can buy a bunch of other cool stuff IMO!

    StarWars

    The card has good eye appeal and the holder displays the card well. You should see some of my T3s!
    They would your card look like a 10!

    Sting

    Keep'm coming - very nice - Mr. Buying Machine!

    Very nice Bradshaw! Solid card - good luck on the crossing.

    this is always the best part of the evening - seeing what everyone has picked up!
    thanx for sharing them

  • Hey Mike - nice Gretzky. Obviously an OPC with the beautiful rough endges and slight tilt. isn't it great when you find good cards that you didn't know you had? Every once in a while I'll go thru a box of my cards just to see what I don't know I have. image

    Matt - I like the Bradshaw!

  • Just some of the cards i recieved back from PSA today

    Was really hoping for 10's on both the Biggio and Kobe. I sent in a Roberto Alomar to PSA years back from that same set ( Score Traded ) which came back a 10 and i sold it for close to $250 at the time.

    Rose is fairly solid. Slight touches of corners. Also some light chipping.

    Hoping for a 7.
