always liked the T3 set.....too much money, so i got this instead

tkd7 · May 15, 2006 9:04AM

I love the Perez Steele Great Moments cards with signatures, nice pickup.

MajorDanby · May 15, 2006 9:11AM

tkd...thanks. a seller had a whole bunch selling yesterday. i almost got an ernie banks...and thought about getting a few others...but, my wallet told me not to bid.

Good stuff, Ben!

I finally scanned those Phelps cards but have been too lazy to e-mail you. Here they are, a PSA 1 and a probable 3-4(MK) if submitted.

Backs are obviously the same and I like 'em both about equally, so it doesn't matter which one you choose, if any. Drop me a line or PM when you get the chance.

As for my own mail, this is probably my favorite recent arrival, though I haven't yet opened today's packages:

Actually, I haven't had too many new arrivals since I'm still trying to get everything up on my website. Check it out if you're insanely bored.

RedHeart54 · May 15, 2006 12:36PM

You mean that's not a rare "dog image" back?

yawie99 · May 15, 2006 12:50PM

It is one of the best MK's I've ever seen. Oughtta be some kind of premium for it.

Upgraded my Fuhr RC 9 to a 10

Where the hell IS Rudi on that card?????

ToppsCo1lector · May 18, 2006 9:05AM

The following are JSA'd

This past week I also got some other autos that are just beauties. Montana, 2 McNabbs, Shockey, Tim Brown, Dwight Freeney, Jamal Anderson, and a Jerome Bettis

Downtown1974 · May 18, 2006 9:34AM

Sweet Clemente weekend!!!

gosteelers · May 18, 2006 10:29AM

A nice Jim Brown second year that I picked up...

ToppsCo1lector · May 18, 2006 10:39AM

Those 59 Topps are one of my favorite series. Nice Brown, I missed out a couple of weeks back on picking up a 59 Topps Sam Huff PSA 8 by a couple of bucks.

ArnyVee · May 18, 2006 10:54AM

I received my '60 Sandy Koufax card and moved into the Top 20!

...only three cards to go.

Stingray · May 18, 2006 8:02PM

<< Where the hell IS Rudi on that card????? >>

The guy on the left, though you think it would be the guy in the middle!?

Bicem · May 19, 2006 2:18AM

Was saving this for Stone's return, but oh well...

The card I will take to the grave.

Knuckles · May 19, 2006 2:25AM

Damn that's nice Bicem

Bosox1976 · May 19, 2006 11:36AM

Holy Schnikes Bicem! That Cobb is a thing of beauty.

LWMM · May 19, 2006 12:14PM

<< Was saving this for Stone's return, but oh well...

Wow, that is beautiful!

ToppsCo1lector · May 19, 2006 12:24PM

^^Wowzers on that one! Definetly centerpiece material.

Welp, I can't follow that up with much.

tennesseebanker · May 19, 2006 12:37PM

That is not only one great looking card, but a masterpiece ! Michealangelo would be envious !

kcherevka · May 20, 2006 8:51AM

Just a couple autos I obtained when Harmon Killebrew was in town.

kcherevka · May 20, 2006 8:54AM

One of the first card shows my dad ever took me to had Jeff Hornacek of the Suns signing. I recently sent them in to PSA/DNA. Not valuable dollarwise but a priceless childhood memory. One of the first in-person auto's I ever got.

Nice cards. I have great memories of my dad and I going to card shows. They are worth more than any of my cards.
Enjoy yours.

ArnyVee · May 20, 2006 10:53PM

Two Jeff Hornacek cards 25¢

Two Admissions to a card show $10.00

Memories of Dad & you...PRICELESS!

I certainly know what that feeling is like!

Here's my final upgrade to bring my basic Drysdale set to an all 7 or better 100% complete set!

This is a very interesting case for Baseball Card Forensics.

That is most definitely NOT Joe Rudi on the left. Rudi had a moustache, batted right and had a musclar physique.

The picture can only be from 1973 as the A's uniforms in 1972 had a small number on the left in the front, and in 1971 and before they wore "vest" flannel styles. The player on the left is pretty tall and thin, and is wearing a helmet with a left ear flap. There were only two white players on the team who were not pitchers and batted left - Jay Johnstone, and Pat Bourque. As I remember Bourque had a rather beefy physique, so it has to be Johnstone.

The player on the right is Allen Lewis, who was the first "designated baserunner" in baseball history.

lamontcarter · May 21, 2006 12:18PM

Won this tonight:

donnnster · May 21, 2006 12:57PM

This was the final piece to completing my 1960 armour coin set!

ToppsCo1lector · May 21, 2006 1:00PM

Some more Gem Mints for my PC....

I paid the most for the Mulder; but since I already had the regular issue Topps Traded rc in BGS 9.5 I didn't mind. Didn't go over my budget though(15.00 max for singles).

Boopotts · May 21, 2006 1:14PM

<< Upgraded my Fuhr RC 9 to a 10

Centering on the '82 OPC looks a litte marginal for a PSA 10.

Sorry, but nobody else had done it yet, and I'd hate to see the streak end

Hey, we've all been label whores at one time or another.

A true beater, but still one of my all-time favorites:

churchiscool · May 21, 2006 1:56PM

a blacksox, and a .400 hitter RC...do these look like psa4s or 5s? The swirl on Weaver's head is from the cardsaver, not on the card.

iamthegreatcornholio · May 21, 2006 3:40PM

Great stuff guys - I especially like Bicem's Cobb and MajorDanby's Aaron!

ToppsCo1lector · May 22, 2006 5:30AM

Steve Francis 99 Topps Gold Label BGS 9.5 Rc. Definetly a personal collection item, I also have recently recieved an Ultimate Victory PSA 10 rookie of Franchise as well.

ArnyVee · May 22, 2006 6:16AM

Even though I had already added it to my Sandy Koufax basic set, I just got my '66 Koufax 7 in the mail today!

halosfan · May 22, 2006 8:13AM

That Cobb is awesome ... maybe one day the wife will let me reach out for a card like that!

I've been biding my time looking for this one for a number of years and finally got one.

julen23 · May 22, 2006 8:30AM

that cobb is from another dimension!

those '73 action shots are really neat, i love horizontal centering.

tkd7 · May 22, 2006 12:09PM

New addition to my Yankee retired numbers set.

If there isn't a registry for your collection, make your own.

Distelrath · May 22, 2006 12:15PM

Here's my recent pickup. Man this card would look nice if it weren't for the subtle crease on the lower left side. No submissions to PSA on this one. I still like it though. Just wanted to show it off

NewJerseyMeatHook · May 22, 2006 12:58PM

Stingray · May 22, 2006 7:58PM

Finally some 85-86 Topps hockey:

lawnmowerman · May 23, 2006 9:50AM

Hi everyone! I got this gift in the mail today from my friend Steve aka Tedw9. Thank you Steve! I didnt have this card before you sent it, so it will be a nice edition to the other Emmitt cards. Thanks again.

Tedw9 · May 24, 2006 5:27AM

Glad you got it ok and you didn't have it Matt! I'm always glad to help out a fellow collector!

TNP777 · May 24, 2006 8:20AM

Upgrade to my Koufax basic set....

ToppsCo1lector · May 24, 2006 3:08PM

I bought all of these together today...Lots of little stuff but I figure I'll keep the NY Giants stuff and Yankees. Some others will go to the PC and the others will get sold during the season. First up the keepers...

The ones that'll be gone....

I also picked up a couple of others(no good scans).
