Wow, that '59 Topps sample is incredibly cool.

This came in yesterday - it's so long that it took four separate scans to show the entire 10 card uncut strip. I pasted the scans together but I could quite line them up right, so it looks like they've been cut, but they haven't. This is a W573 strip, featuring GC Alexander at the top. These cards were issued in 1922. For a penny, a kid could walk into the candy store and take this thing home with him. That penny got a lot "prettier" in modern day cost:

Mark, that strip is VERY cool!!!

Finally received my white whale..my final coin to finish up my 1960 armour coin set! Now time to send it in to PSA for grading!

HoofHearted · April 22, 2006 5:50PM

<< Got a couple of Griffey's from PSA today. I anybody sees a Nolan Ryan w/tab LMK.

jackstraw,

You sold me on that '95 Post set, too. I made an offer on a complete set that was accepted tonight. Hopefully I'll be seeing these cards up close and personal by this time next week.

Thanks for sharing -- everyone!

Donnnster - how much did that Daley set you back? I'm assuming it's the cream coin. That is one fine specimen. Congrats.

Rambler · April 23, 2006 10:42AM

A couple of cards that came in the mail

donnnster · April 23, 2006 12:14PM

Morrelman-

Yeh that coin seems to be short printed for some reason. I haven't seen too many of these hit ebay. I picked it up for a shade under 500(the most I have spent on ebay for any item!). I saw a PSA 8 on I believe mastro a few months ago that went for around 580. So yup I'm pretty happy with it and can't wait to send it off to PSA for grading! I will finally be at 100% on my 1960 armour set!

fdnyladder7 · April 23, 2006 12:28PM

W517 Ruth (purple) and W514 Jax (partly digested)...

halosfan · April 24, 2006 3:07AM

Here is my latest mailbox find. Presents very well in the SGC slab. The scan is not as clean as the card is in person.

Tedw9 · April 24, 2006 5:39AM

Wow, great stuff guys! I think I learn more from this thread than I do any magazine!

fdnyladder7,

Nice Jackson and Ruth!

Did you get them authenticated yourself or did you pick them up that way?

Here are a couple I got recently. The graded card is the first 10 in my collection.

Got this beauty of an auto from Lawnmowerman! Thanks Matt!

Got this from Ebay for $1.59. My very first PSA 10! Dewey was my childhood hero, so this was a cool buy for me.

See if this works:

tennesseebanker · April 24, 2006 1:31PM

Wow ! Nj, tough card in high grade ! Ever see the other bookend Aaron that nice ?

wick70 · April 24, 2006 2:27PM

Just got these today from PSA/Dna. I like the new flips.

Cheers! Wick

Sure thing Steve! Glad you like it!

Joe Jax played LF here from 1911-1915, prior to being sold to the Black Sox.

Today's present:

fdny-
Nice postcard. Did you buy it slabbed or send it in? I have a fairly large collection of vintage stadium postcards, basically every stadium except Griffith Stadium, and I've always wondered if it is worth sending them for grading.

That looks like League Park in Cleveland. I think Cleveland was the only city that had one team play home games in two stadiums, one stadium for weekdays and one for weekends.

tkd7 · April 26, 2006 1:19PM

recent submission to help complete my set.

I try to buy raw then submit all my stuff. Risky, but saves money in the long run. This postcard I researched, to be certain it was manuf. during Jax playing days in Cleve.

And, no, it's not a steroids-related product The Mick was selling!

Hoof - great U of M postcard! I remember watching Tony Dungy quarterback the Gophers there as a little kid. Very cool!

It has been awhile:

ToppsCo1lector · May 1, 2006 3:17AM

A couple of new PSA 10s

97 Finest Tim Thomas
98 Finest Paul Pierce

Stingray · May 1, 2006 3:23AM

Nice Pierce, if he get just get a Championship under his belt.

ToppsCo1lector · May 1, 2006 3:27AM

Oh yeah, he just needs a team around him. I sniped it for 4 bucks on Ebay last night so I can't complain. It was listed differently and only been viewed like 4 times and only had 1 bid before me. I found it with 2-3 minutes left and got it.

Bicem · May 1, 2006 3:46AM

For whenever Stone returns...

Southerncards · May 1, 2006 3:50AM

Borrowed this pic from ebay to show an item that I just picked up. Mine is full and unopened (the pic shows an empty one).

Nice commemorative Pepsi bottle from 1971 celebrating the Dallas Cowboys. I'm not a Cowboy fan but its a nice older piece.

TZAHL · May 1, 2006 5:41AM

Do you know what sort of value these have? I have an empty one from 1973 Pepsi Nebraska Corhuskers.....

Southerncards · May 1, 2006 12:15PM

Not sure on value, especially full vs. empty but for what I paid, I'm not worried.

ToppsCo1lector · May 1, 2006 6:49PM

Some more Gem Mints I just picked up.
