    Great stuff, all. I'm especially fond of your T206's, Seraph. And, Bicem, as always, the T3's are sick!

    I picked up a few upgrades for my C56 set this week:

    A PSA 5 Pud Glass:

    A PSA 5 Cyclone Taylor:
    image
    I'm not real crazy about that eye-level scratch, so this card has been advised to rent, not buy.

    A PSA 5 Fred Lake:
    image

    I also picked up another PSA 5 Paddy Moran that I think I like a little more than my old one, but I'm looking for additional opinions. Whaddy'all think?
    The new 5:

    The old 5:

    yawie99..

    Nice cards. As far as which card looks better it depends on what your into. The newer 5 looks cleaner, but the older 5 has much better centering.

  • Great stuff everyone. I couldn't resist this, especially with the rest of the set auto'd as well, including McGee, Showalter, and Mike Morgan...

    Damn.. nice Cyclone! That's in the middle of my want list.. one day.. one day. image

  • yawie99yawie99 Posts: 2,575 ✭✭✭
    Yeah, I think I'm going to end up keeping my old one. Image quality is usually my primary consideration, though I'm torn between the two even on that. I think the registration is a skosh better on my old one while the color is certainly bolder on the new one. It's coming down to the fact that the I was the original submitter of my previous Moran. I always value those cards a bit more than those I buy already slabbed.

    Knuckles, I'm actually going to have a PSA 2 Taylor available. It'd be a fantastic card if it weren't for a big crease right through Cyclone's head. I'm in the midst of scanning everything now.

    That's a beauty!!

    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.

    VERY NICE! I've never seen those. I really want a TEXAS one now!!!

    This is one of those items that I have been chasing for a while. Not expensive but glad to have landed it to add to the oddball Perez collection.

    Received both of these in the mail today. Same photo. The Bazooka has part of the box stuck on the back of it and is why it got the two. No loss but extra paper.

    First Jeff Gordon Card when he was 16 years old.

    He is number 3 in wins in the Modern Era. Four more wins and he passes Dale Earnhardt for the number 2 position.

    The lines across the cover are just top of the baggie. I had these issues years ago, but made the mistake of chucking them. Now I finally got them back.

    Thanks. He's got a few back issues, but none of the ones I'm looking for. I'm really surprised the publisher doesn't have a website of their own. Unless of course I'm not looking in the right area.

    Google "who's who in Baseball" and you will come up with about 300 hits. Search them you might find what your looking for?

    NewJerseyMeatHook, that is a sharp Winfield! Great player I have always admired!


    jackstraw, I've never seen a Griffey like that. I'm curious to know too. I bet someone on here will know the answer. Either way, cool card!


    schr1st, WOW! I love Ted Williams (hence my user name) and I think that is a card of beauty! DAM! Very nice! Do you mind me asking how much you paid for that?

    It was part of last month's Mastro Auctions, and with the buyer's premium I paid $1460. I probably overpaid a little bit for it, but I can live with it.

    schr1st, considering it's a signed Ted Playball, I think it was a good deal! image

    CardCoreCollector, nice Magic card! I grew up watching all the great Bird/Magic games. I'm a Bird fan, but I respect Magic alot. Great card!

    I am a Carlton Willey collector, because Carlton and I are close friends. So I would like to share some of my collection. This is a 1964 Topps Advertisement Sample. I paid $250 for it about 10 years ago. Did I overpay? I know I paid more because of Mantle, but I bought it because of Carlton. To me it was worth it.

    Love the 64 Sample cards... I don't think you overpaid at $250. If you wanted out, I'd gladly give you what you paid plus more on top of that.
