I got almost all of the 9's for $2.50 each with the most expensive one being $4.99! I figured I couldnt beat it being dirt cheap and good set fillers. Some could be resubbed easily to 10's. The Beckett and PGA will be crack outs. I must add I am impressed with the quality of the PGA card ( better graded then the Beckett card

)

This arrived yesterday...not a card, but a real nice family shot of Thurman......5x7, nice paper stock, not some cheap computer print out. The photo looks much nicer in person.

Wow, those '83s really look nice! I am appreciating that set more and more as I see them in holders.

stingray,

Did you ever finish the set ?

They don't make nicknames like that anymore.

jradke4 · September 13, 2006 1:30AM

nice coop. one of may fav players from the Brew Crew of the 80's. He was smooth with the stick. Too bad he just doenst have the total stats to get in to the HOF. In my mind he belongs.

EAsports · September 14, 2006 4:59AM

While not technically a "mail-call"....

I was at the local Wal-Mart on my lunch break, picking up a few odds and ends.... Like a moth to a flame, I swing by the card section....

Normally, I don't touch the retail stuff, but there was a minty-fresh box of 2006 Topps FB Rack Packs. If you aren't "in the know"... The rack packs have 3 "Vintage" cards in each one. And usually, by "vintage" Topps means "1990." Anyway, I grabbed three packs that had decent rookies (Leinart, Young and Addai) just for giggles.

Of course, my vintage was 1989 Topps Traded. Ooooooh, look! Lorenzo White!

But, to my surprise, my first pack held a very nice RC of a Denver safety whose name includes a "forbidden word". He is perhaps a borderline eventual HOFer. He was a fan favorite with the Broncos, had a long career, and was one of the guys who paved the way for the "heavy hitters" like John Lynch and Rodney Harrison.

The second pack had some fine stars of 1989 including Irv Pankey, and Andy Heck.

So, you can imagine my surprise when I see this in the third pack!

Yeah, I know it's not worth a fortune, but believe it or not, I actually didn't have this card.

No complaints from me!

lawnmowerman · September 14, 2006 11:14AM

EAsports Thats great! Who cares what its worth, it still had to be a thrill to pull a Barry Sanders rc 17 years later

Heres mine for today

I recently bought a set of 1951 Topps Magic football cards. It's a mid-grade set, and there are no big names, but it's been fun looking through it. I also learned a few college nicknames I didn't know before, such as the Lehigh Engineers. Here's a link to the whole set.

ArnyVee · September 15, 2006 12:59AM

I have a few of those Monsters of the Gridiron cards around here somewhere. I had probably 8 to 10 of them including Emmitt if I remember right. Funny cards!

rbdjr1 · September 15, 2006 10:22AM

Pick-up tonite from a fellow board member! (...only one of two 9's ever graded by PSA in the entire 1969 MLBPA Pin series!)

Great Mantle.

No PSA/DNA distinction on the autograph?

blubill · September 15, 2006 12:49PM

I have no idea....psa made a mistake i guess. I am going to call them on Monday and figure out what's up.

Another nice Reyes! Do you think you might do his set too?

matt

KOBEcollector · September 16, 2006 10:07AM

Matt,

I might pick up a couple graded rookies but no i don't plan on doing a set of his.. Im just having fun collecting some auto's and the base cards.

I will drop those Emmitt's from my set like you asked.

I like that '81 Bossy RB - looks like a genuine factory cut.

Picked up this card of Hall of Famer Jack Marshall as part of my slow rebuilding of the C56 set:

mcholke · September 17, 2006 2:32AM

I have been on the road the past month or so and had some catching up to do. Here is what accumulated in the mail

Stingray · September 18, 2006 1:22AM

Wow did that Perez 3-D cost you a pretty penny??

A couple of new hockey cards:

tkd7 · September 18, 2006 1:57AM

yawie,
I'm always impressed at the scope of your vintage card collection. That C56 looks great, the creases don't detract from the image.

mcholke,
Nice Reds collection. The 3-D Perez is great. I really like the '76 LCS and WS cards. Hard to believe the Big Red Machine won back to back WS 30 years ago.

Sting,
Nice hockey. Are you splitting time between the hockey and baseball sets?

mcholke · September 18, 2006 2:20AM

Stingray

Yes, there were several shinny pennies used to acquire the Perez 3-D. I picked it up in the recent Mastro auction.

Stingray · September 18, 2006 2:38AM

I am trying to decide on what to do here. The hockey set is a nice small one, though I am sure not all cards have even been graded, but I can go a slow enough pace that I would not have to start doing my own grading for awhile. Now that football season is here I have really been debating between 83 or 87 Topps set.

KOBEcollector · September 18, 2006 7:25AM

gotta love seeing that yellow mailer when you open the mailbox

Dave

Cincyfan01 · September 18, 2006 7:34AM

That 3D Perez is a great card! CONGRATS - What a tough card to find. I saw that in the Mastro auction as soon as I got the catalog. I browse through it as soon as it comes to see what Reds items are there. It was one of the auctions I was watching.

ArnyVee · September 18, 2006 8:05AM

Here are two recent additions to my combo Drysdale/Koufax set.

I've been cleaning-up my home-office, moving a ton of boxes, paperwork, etc. (i.e., junk!). And look what I found in a small box hidden in the corner of my room?

16 cards in a small box and I don't have a clue how long they've been sitting there? Spending a few moments and re-visiting those 16 items, remined me of why I still luv collecting!

That brief feeling of excitement, revisiting 16 "newly discovered" items all over again!

"Yes honey, I have that same olde feeling again"!

Nice grouping of cards and what a bonus to find something you had lost track of. I hope you find more to share while finishing your cleaning.
