  • Great cards guys, escpecially yours Matt image
  • Thanks for the kind words, Mike.

    Jorge is currently for sale on eBay. If it doesn't sell, I'll probably just hold onto it.

    My boys may like to have it one day.

  • Here's a couple more '75s for you, Mike:

    Nice looking stuff Meathook, 74 Football is hard to find at that grade for sure. That was the first set football I started collecting (oops, gave away my age!).

    Been a slow couple of weeks for me, but did get this:

    More modern crap!

  • Sting:

    Modern, but very cool, nonetheless!
  • I know that this isn't the greatest graded 68 Rookie but it is the best that I can afford right now. I plan on upgrading it later on but just had to have one now. Sorry about the crappy scan, that card looks alot better in person.

    Steve, No need to talk that card down. It looks really nice. Good luck with your collection.

    My first 1930's Babe Ruth card! Who knew it would be German? I bought it from a German seller. I have no clue what it is worth. I'm going to send it to PSA and see what happens!

    1935 #26 D.POYNTON/B.RUTH MURATTI CIGARETTES-ZWISCHEN OLYMPISCHEN SPIELEN

    edit: I know it is not that rare, but I'm hoping for at least a "fair to midland" grade from PSA?

  • Thank you Matt for the encouraging words. I just wish that I could afford an 8 or 9. But I am very very happy with this one that I have now. If I ever have to sell off any of my cards then this one will for sure be the last one that I one sell.

    Jeff,
    Great card. The colors jump off my screen.
  • Is that original gloss?
  • tkd7tkd7 Posts: 1,799 ✭✭
    Haven't posted in a while. I picked up this a few days ago.

    I don't usually collect autograph cards but I've been looking for an O'Neill for a while. I especially like that the card is signed, not a sticker.
  • lawnmowermanlawnmowerman Posts: 19,477 ✭✭✭✭
    tkd7, Nice card. I always liked O'neill. Any guy that could kick a baseball from the outfield back to an infielder is okay in my bookimage
  • Great O'Neill auto! One of the hardest working grittiest ballplayers to ever don pinstripes. He was a true gamer.

    bri,
    picked it up of ebay for $6.39. I haven't seen any other O'Neill autograph cards go for under $10. The card was listed as "Paul O'Neill Signature L@@K" so it may not have gotten many hits. I'm very happy with it.

    O'Neill and Tino were so important on those championship teams - they had a lot more gamers and a lot less stars back then.

    Here are some scans of my last submission. I had a third Lansford in 9, but it is not as nice as these. I think there were 3 Lansfords in 9 in the pop report when I got my grades, so I think I doubled the pop 9 total. The 1986's I think are 1/1 or 1/2. There were a few other nice grades I got back, but nothing to shout about. These cards were about the best. If anyone is interested in the list of the whole 126 card submission, let me know.

    I've only heard about this company - Jay aka Qualitycards says they're great! He even sent me a brochure!

    BTW, I made Philly chessesteak sandwiches tonite for me and the wife - it was dinner and a movie!

    Big mailday here:

    The Prior arrived a couple of days ago, but since I'm scanning, I'll add it to the pile.

    image

    image

    I may send the Munson in to be reholdered. The front is scratched up, and the case in general makes me wonder if it may have been cracked and swapped. The card itself it pretty nice though, with better centering than I've seen on most 7's.

    Player collectors can appreciate the next few. I would send them to PSA but they will be there for 149 business days. I often wondered if I put a sticker on the back of the CS1 telling them what they are if that would speed up the odd ball process?

    Nothing in the mail, but I felt compelled to add to this thread. As disgusting as that is from a health point of view, I can't help but find myself sitting here with my mouth watering. Looks like I'll be having cheeseburger for lunch today.

    Aww man, In-N-Out burgers are the best.. There are no in-n-out's anywhere near me image ... had one in vegas for the first time 3 years ago and loved it. Nice cards by the way everyone. image

    Superb card tkd

    The set is a beauty...

    It's a set I like and never took the time to collect - my loss.

    I will tell you - dealers overgraded those cards back in the late 80s - what they would call nmmt would not get an 8 today.

    thanx for the scan

    I've been spending totally recklessly lately and may have to enter the Stone program. Unfortunately, it's all stuff that I'm still waiting on from auction houses, but I did get this relatively tough T206 card yesterday:

    I love In-N-Out. I've got one about 10 minutes from me. A double double, lettuce tomato only and a strawberry shake......that does it.

    That burger looks like it's about to attack somebody.

    That team card is a work of art - team cards are a favorite of mine - FB or BB.

    Now, the wax pack:

    Looks like the earlier OPC is heating up?

    I've got a complete box of 76OPC that I would be glad to get graded if I could sell them for that kind of dough!

    Mine are really nice and the gum moves in the pack - I got them from Mark Murphy - many, many moons ago!

    Sweet Mantle card! I have a set in Ex - the Mantle has a crease - I'm putting the star cards in a frame - that's how crappy they are - but I like the set!

    Jack

    Nice Griffey bunch. And BTW, I haven't forgotten you on the Griffey Fanfest set - just haven't found them yet.

    Sean

    Very nice pick ups! Nice Griff auto card. I think I must be the only left who doesn't have that Munson card!

    Matt

    I agree - nice Emmitt for the $ - but keep in mind, you can go broke saving money - I did. image

    Nice card - are you gonna have it graded?

    Very nice pickup - I especially like the Polar Bear back!

    Here's another of his card from the T3 set:

    image

    He was traded in 1910 from NY to Boston.

    And then to Philly the next year.

    So, you have the updated card.
