The CJ is off the chart! Wish you had a bigger scan - that is a beauty! Why did the CJ I sent them have to be in a baggie that floats all over the place? Size variation?
I'm always amazed by the great stuff that shows up in this post. Some of the vintage items on here just blow me away. Griffins, that Willie, Mickey and the Duke auto'ed Perez-Steele is awesome.
I haven't posted anything in a while, but here's a few decent cards from some recent subs and pickups...as always, with at least a bit of a Big Red Machine flavor. Nothing earth-shattering here...just a few cards I was happy to add to my collection.
TKD- are you sure? '73 is incredibly muddy, they look like they were all shot with no fill at midday with deep, harsh shadows. '72 starts out that way and then gets so overfilled in the later series they almost look illustrated. '53 Bowman is the best IMO, '59 Topps isn't too bad but I hate the design. '65 Topps is very good, and '67 Topps ranks up there with '53 Bowman.

Anthony, I think (I hope) what TDK is trying to say is that the '73 set is filled with some of the best action shots possible. The fact that the photography sucks is secondary. Also.... ....how can you slam In n Out? I think you might possibly be a Communist.

Yes, more concerned with action photography than anything else. Didn't consider Bowman in the mix, my oversight. Honestly, for photography sake, I'll take photos made from larger format cameras typically employed by magazines or newpapers.
Didn't consider action shots. '73 was definitely ahead on those, I'm sure Topps was pretty comfortable using 35mm transparencies by then, and it would've been pretty tough to shoot too much action with the medium format cameras (and 4x5 press cameras) used in the '50's and before, although Charles Conlon did a pretty good job of it.
<< <i>Also.... ....how can you slam In n Out? I think you might possibly be a Communist. >>
You can take the boy out of Santa Monica, but you can't take Santa Monica out of the boy..... Seriously Mark, you've got to come down for a Shackburger sometime. Blows that In and Out goo out of the water.

I picked up this 1971 Topps 3rd series Check list in PSA 10! I rarely bid on '70's Topps (other than 1976 baseball!). But I was compulsed to "push the bid button" on this super-blazer!
Those '55 All American's are really nice! Never been into football at all, but that set and '55 Bowman and '34 National Chicle are really tempting. How expensive are they in PSA 6? Only 100 cards in the set, right?

I don't want to jack this thread (don't think I could if I wanted to), but when you're screaming towards the desert on the 10 there ain't no frikking Shackburgers to be seen.
Shack is tops, but I don't remember for sure, tune up time, I think - name the time and I'll be there! (maybe to exchange cimolians....)

Right Griffins, only 100 cards in the set.
I was a baseball only guy myself until a couple of years ago. Started buying a few football cards, then this All American set caught my eye. Incredible set filled with Hall of Famers and history, I'm hooked.
Set books for about $3700 in PSA 6 according to SMR. I've been picking up mostly 6's at about $20 per. Of course, the Thorpe, Four Horsemen, Red Grange, and Knute Rockne will set me back quite a bit more when the time comes. Those are $150-$350 range. But it's the first set I've tried to complete short of recent Heritage and I'm having a ball with it. Giving myself two years to do it, averaging one card a week. Of course, you know how that works. I've got about 20 already in the first two months. If anything else, it's keeping me from buying anything else.
Best of luck if you give it a try.

Edited to say: the psa 6's that are nicely centered are really nice looking cards, most might "bump" to a psa 7. It's all about eye appeal and I try to buy the cards that are centered. Picked up four more tonight, may need a loan.
great cards Matt, i would think that Emmitt 1992 pacific gold bordered card would be hard to find GEM MINT.. seems like the gold border would cause any slight flaw to show up easy..

Thanks pandrews. You are right. For what its worth it is a uh...oh.. here it comes....1 of 1 psa 10 card I just wish psa didnt seal up the hair and other assorted goods inside the slab
Nice cards, always thought that 94 Upper Deck had some of the clearest and nicest photography, have that set raw and some nice cards just to pull out and look at.
I go these recently. The Aikman card, in my opinion is one of his nicest cards. Plus, I got it for a penny! The shipping was $5.00 but still I was pretty happy witht he deal. The Faulk/ Butkus card, I thought was pretty cool. I never heard of this insert set before.
I was going by two themes: the 'Pittsburgh Sleeves' (4 more to go) and 'background building silouhettes' (a jillion more to go - actually about 30 or so more to go)
I got this last week and I finally got a chance to scan it. This is a 1998 Topps Reprint Certified Ryan Auto. There are 27 cards reprinted and autographed by Ryan. One for each year that he played. This is the 6th card out of 27 that I have. I ONLY have 21 more to go to complete the set.
I am always amazed by those T3s. That is a set I will have to wait quite a few years to start.
This card just arrived yesterday. I always liked it, because it is just his 1981 card recycled.
Collector of 1976 Topps baseball for some stupid reason. Collector of Pittsburgh Pirates cards for a slightly less stupid reason. My Pirates Collection
and here's a maddux minor league card....been meaning to get one in a long time...completes my "rookie" card set of maddux (although i dont really count minor league cards as rookies)...got shilled by a board member, though. JK!!
and here's a frisch rookie card to add on to my hof collection (and i do count exhibits as rookie cards)
Not sure if this is worth anything but it was $13 including shipping, buy it now. It's a program from the 1972 NLCS, game 5, it's scored neatly, Clemente's last game.
Picked up some nice Emmitts and got some other great cards from John, aka jackstraw. The Faulk cards, the Upper Decks and the Select Aikman card all came from John. Thank you John, that was really nice of you! Alot of people have said it before but this board is really great! Its people like John that make this board fun to be a part of.
This arrived in today's mail. It just ended on eBay on the 20th, and arrived today (Insured Priority Mail from CT. to MA.) .
And no, there has been no color correction or anything else done to the scan other than to add my watermark. This is one of those "It won't be leaving my collection EVER" cards.
Here is something I picked up at the Ft. Washington show. Not baseball, but definitely vintage. It is a T-6 Murad Cabinet card from 1911. As a Penn grad, I couldn't pass this up. It is about the size of a Turkey Red T-3.

The other card speaks for itself! Very nice.

Definitely not. All my Senators/Twins are raw. I enjoy them in their natural state.

great cards. i think '73-'74 Topps baseball has some of the greatest baseball card photography from '52 to '89.
'53 Bowman is the best IMO, '59 Topps isn't too bad but I hate the design. '65 Topps is very good, and '67 Topps ranks up there with '53 Bowman.

Slowly still adding to my humble '55 set. Picked up these two this week...
And another Reds guy I picked up EXTREMELY cheap just for fun.......
That Eric Davis was gonna be the next Willie Mays you know. Still helped bring a World Series to the Redlegs.
Keep up the great scans, I'm always envious.

In all honest though, a few of the 6's I've bought look at least as sharp as this 7, IMO.
I love them all, no matter the grade.

Still working on my humble all american set, managed to pick up another 7 at a good price........
And just to be sure I spent all my extra money for the week, picked up three more 6's, including hall of famer Bill Dudley.
22 down, 78 to go. Give me about two years and I might get there.
