Great Yankees cards!

Fdny-Yeah I'm a younger collector(20) but I really just found out about the 55 Bowman design, and I really like it.

My youngest son is older than you... The '55s aren't real popular with collectors -yet. I suppose it's the fact that the fat borders detract from the photo size and these Bowmans are notorious for miscuts and odd sizes. Good work anyhow, stick to the vintage.

ToppsCo1lector · May 8, 2006 12:37AM

Yep I'm the youngest of my family. My brother is 28. I like the 55's because of the framing inside the border; it gives the card a nice clean look imo. If I get a certain card I'm going after today, it'll be one of my centerpieces in my collection(especially for the price I might be paying for it) But I'll let ya'll know about that if it goes down. Not only a beautiful card, nice grade, my favorite team, and one of the greatest ever to play his position.

Great Exhibits...you're right, they dont get the respect they deserve. Although lately, I've seen some Ebay ending prices for graded one's that aren't too bad.

J-actionville, Once the murder capital of the USA! Boy, has that place experienced a renaissance. On the way to bootcamp (mid-seventies), I recall leaving the airport and seeing pickup trucks with rifles in the back windows and that was in the middle of the city. After growing up in the hoods of Boston, even I was stunned.

Hey I live DC. Lemme just say, crime doesn't just occur in the lobbies and behind closed doors and gates in the Capital.

NewJerseyMeatHook · May 9, 2006 1:34PM

I live just outside of DC . . . know of any good card shops?

Let me know!

ToppsCo1lector · May 9, 2006 1:39PM

I just moved here maybe 2-3 months ago. I helped the roommates move in last year then went back to my hometown. Moved up here for home renovation work and to go back to college. I haven't even had time to look for a card shop; although I think there is one about 10 minutes from me(won some stuff off eBay from a local card shop I believe). Most times I work in North West or Montgomery county so I enjoy the 18 mile/hour long drive twice a day. I hate traffic, but I live about 5-10 minutes from the Wilson Bridge.

tkd7 · May 10, 2006 6:35AM

Nice Aaron.
Are you doing the whole set? I've been looking for a new project and that has been one I have been thinking about.

MajorDanby · May 10, 2006 7:16AM

i likely paid more than i should have for the aaron...but i was frustrated because whenever this card comes up in a 6,7 or 8...im always outbid. A GAI 8 came up a month or two ago for way less than SMR....i missed the auction!

just need the aaron. nice set, but my pursuit of other sets bars me from collecting it.

Stingray · May 10, 2006 8:10AM

Like these horizontal 73s!

HoofHearted · May 10, 2006 1:19PM

Gary sent me some 20-30 year old hockey cards for the Al Kaline pic I sent him. Here's a couple of my favorites:

Thanks again, Gary!!

ArnyVee · May 10, 2006 9:08PM

Not only did I get to 100% on my Drysdale Basic set by picking this card up....

But, I also upgraded my rookie from a 6 to a strong 7 with this one....

.....now, just need to upgrade my '62 and I'll have all 7s or higher. From there, we work on getting them all to 8s.

Hey, wasn't he on the Brady Bunch teaching Greg how to pitch?

ArnyVee · May 10, 2006 11:04PM

Yes he was!

PLOT OUTLINE: After a visit from Don Drysdale, Greg lets his obsession with becoming a Major League Baseball pitcher get to his head. But he eventually learns the hard way that he's not the star he thinks he is.

Go on those 73s. Keep it up!

Was that already autographed by Topps or did you have it done. That is pretty cool. Though everytime I see that card it reminds me of Adam Sandler in Waterboy for some reason. You think he would sign with some legibility.

bri2327 · May 11, 2006 10:59AM

nice looking 73's Stingray.....I always loved those action shots. Very under valued set IMO.

It was already done by Topps. It has their authentication sticker on the back and everything

I've always wondered where Rudi is in that card...the guy in the middle is Gene Tenace, and the others are also definitely not Rudi...
