    << <i>Steve,

    GREAT looking set that is. Congrats again on your completion image

    I just got this one in the ol mailbox

    I would congratulate you on that card, Dan, but I think '78's are worthless garbage-- and, in fact, I'm a little embarrassed by the fact that anyone who participates on these boards would stoop to collecting them.

    Mike,

    I think that is in reference to my old sig line " Popular opinion suggests I collect worthless modern garbage" Boo asked me about that one day ...... whatever, all is good in 78 Topps land image

    Dan is right, it's just a reference to his old sig line. He knows I'm kidding.

    That's what I figured.

    Well, okay then stone. I'll save this scan and email it to ya come 12/25/06. Hope you've forgotten about it by then! image

    Mail call was nice to me today. I recently bought my first SGC-graded card -- for my Senators/Twins set of course. It's a 1950s Callahan of the greatest pitcher of all time, Walter Johnson:

    image

  • Stone193Stone193 Posts: 24,420 ✭✭✭✭✭
    Thanx Mike!

    Nice Johnson! Looks better than a 5.

    thanx for sharing - are you doing that set?

    mike >>



    I'm not sure I should be showing my Johnson in public like this (image), but it is quite gorgeous. The upper right corner is slightly touched, otherwise it's a treasure. I'm not doing the set, although I see the one registered set on SGCcard.com only has one card, too, so I could be in the hunt there!
  • sorry for all you gai haters, but had to post this recent purchase. have been searching for this guy for awhile. likely overpaid, but finally complete my hank aaron rookie trifecta!

    Thanks for the compliments on the '54 Bowmans. I'm accumulating PSA 6's-8's right now, hoping to put a decent set together over the long run.
    Nice Aaron! My 12 yr old got his first Aaron card in the mail yesterday. He's quite proud of it, and it's a REALLY nice 7. Well spent birthday cash. At least he's off of those Yugi-Oh cards.image

  • Stone193Stone193 Posts: 24,420 ✭✭✭✭✭
    Wow MD

    Very nice card! That's a solid 6!

    Congratulations on completing your RC group.

    Benny

    That's a solid 7! Great centering. Your son has a good eye.

    thanx for sharing

    Major,
    Very nice Aaron. Are you planning to crossover? That GAI holder doesn't do the card justice!

    81T Bo Diaz - original pen and ink art from Toppsvault.

    This was part of my Father's Day present from my wife - also got cologne because I'm old enought to smell bad, a new clock to go next to the bed because I'm always late and new pj bottoms because I'm fatter this year!

    If anyone who has opened a boatload of 81T has a beat up Bo card - I would really like it - corners and stuff can be bad - it will be framed and mounted. From the red ink number on the piece, I would guess the care number is 362? Thanx.

    It was a good day! image

  • tkd...will likely break it out. gai holders arent so bad...but when it comes to cards like these, they have no clue how ugly it is...

    Those are some sweet looking cards. The Brock is absolutely stunning, the Ted K looks perfect, and the Sparky aint too shabby either !

    I have received a lot of stuff recently so I'll post when I get to the scanner.

    But buying will be slowing down tremendously as my peers voted to strike where I work. image

    That T3 Speaker is sick.

    And nice cards, Seraph. I haven't added too many T206's lately, but my first Carolina Brights card arrived today:

    Got these 3 72's the other day. The Jurgensen is sharp as hell but and the Pastorini rc is centered great, but has a few flaws. I wish I could combine the attributes of both image Th Csonka IA was a great score IMO.

    Rob

    Congratulations! That's always good to hear!

    I'm looking forward to some more scans. Did ya get any stars in 9?

    Dan

    That is one of the finest 7s you can get - The Matthews is sweet - I would not be surprised if the ink kept it from an 8? BTW, that doesn't bother me - it's part of the card and the way they were made.

    Ryan

    Nice cards. Did you tell me you were doing the 76T set? You've got a lot going for a busy resident!!!!

    Thanx for sharing guys
