1959 Topps baseball - official PSA thread

bishop · August 10, 2014 1:07AM

The reference was actually to a different Fisk and a different Hall of Fame.. . PSA

59Horsehide · August 10, 2014 4:03AM

Oooopps - my mistake. Thought it was strange with the Fisk scenario.

mariner · August 10, 2014 5:03AM

Yes, Jim, there is a member here, bobsbbcards, who is Bob Fisk who is a friend of Al's and I and he was just recently inducted into the PSA Collector's HOF. He has an incredible collection. He is also a great guy with a terrific sense of humor.

bishop · August 10, 2014 11:51AM

Don--are we talking about the same guy ?

mariner · August 11, 2014 12:28PM

LOL, Al.....maybe, maybe not!

bobsbbcards · August 11, 2014 9:31PM

<< <i>LOL, Al.....maybe, maybe not! >>

He's a douche. Nuff said.

markj111 · August 13, 2014 11:55PM

I just completed the set in PSA 8 (a few better). Not sure who is happier-me or my wife.

mariner · August 14, 2014 6:01AM

Outstanding....congratulations!!!

mariner · August 24, 2014 5:59AM

Just added this beauty to my set.

59Horsehide · August 24, 2014 1:16PM

Very nice, Don. It will fit nicely into your 59 set.

Jim

59Horsehide · August 24, 2014 1:21PM

Double post

usmc1986 · September 3, 2014 3:24PM

Welcome Jim! I have been absent from these boards for quite some time now (health issues) and I`m just checking in now to see what`s up. Good to see a new comer with such enthusiasm for the old sets. I can honestly say that Don is very knowledgeable about vintage cards and is one of THE best collector`s out there that I have run across. He will be more than happy to discuss `59`s with you!

Again, welcome!!

Dan

bishop · September 3, 2014 9:39PM

+ 1 on Don.... but that may mean we just don't know many collectors

mariner · September 4, 2014 12:55PM

Dan, it is so great to see you posting here again. I know health issues can be so difficult for you and your family. My best to you and I hope that everything is looking better for you these days.

Al, I can always count on humor from you, my friend. :-)

usmc1986 · September 4, 2014 2:45PM

Thanks for the kind words Don! I love seeing pictures of your new additions

mariner · September 10, 2014 1:53PM

Thanks, Dan. I will get some new scans up soon.

mojorob · September 11, 2014 10:57PM

Don,
Looking at your 59 examples, is always such a treat ..... as they are like looking at museum pieces.
Just Beautiful Stuff !!

mariner · September 18, 2014 12:04PM

Thanks, Kirk! I have a couple more cards on their way to me and when I get them, I will post scans.

mariner · September 19, 2014 3:11PM

Just arrived today.....

59Horsehide · September 22, 2014 12:38AM

Very, very nice additions, Don. Nice going!

Jim

mariner · September 24, 2014 11:39AM

Thanks, Jim!

PaulMaul · September 25, 2014 1:09AM

Man, when I see beauties like this I just want to start collecting every set!

PaulMaul · September 25, 2014 1:11AM

I love 9's like these that actually look deserving of that grade. So sick of seeing tilted, toned lemons in 9 holders.

mariner · September 28, 2014 7:56AM

Thanks, PaulMaul....you should start collecting this set!

mariner · October 5, 2014 6:51AM

Posting some new additions to my set.

mariner · October 5, 2014 6:52AM

The color on this card is amazing!

bishop · October 5, 2014 7:58AM

As is the player

Beautiful card

59Horsehide · October 6, 2014 12:09AM

Another beauty, Don. Where do you find these awesome cards? Your not printing them are you?

Jim - 59Horsehide

bishop · October 6, 2014 2:04AM

Horsehide---I do not think so. I have been to his house and looked for evidence of such.

mariner · October 6, 2014 12:56PM

mariner · October 6, 2014 12:59PM

Jim, yes I just print them up...LOL. Al looked but could not find my printer when he was here last Spring.

bishop · October 6, 2014 9:34PM

There were a lot of empty Christmas rack packs . But, they may have been Anthony's

mariner · October 12, 2014 7:16AM

bishop · October 13, 2014 1:40AM

Don- now you need the version of Lindy with the white sash at the logo..in 9 :-)

mariner · October 19, 2014 5:26AM

Picked this beauty up recently.

59Horsehide · October 19, 2014 11:41PM

Another beauty, Don. Got to see these two guys play at County Stadium in 1959 when I was 12. They played the Giants who had some other guy named Mays??? on the team. Can't remember what he looked like - maybe a pic would refresh my memory!!!

Jim-59Horsehide

mariner · October 23, 2014 12:09PM

Hey Jim....got your emails and I will get back to you this weekend.

Mays?? you mean this guy?

59Horsehide · October 23, 2014 11:12PM

Yup, that's the guy!

I will have to look for one of those to add to my 59s. Another great card you have there.

Jim-59Horsehide

mariner · November 2, 2014 9:19AM

How awesome is the color on this beauty?

HammeringHank · November 3, 2014 8:35AM

Don...love your 59 set...I really meant to finish that set...just got caught up with my 64 set and now working on 63...but I would be remiss if I didn't acknowledge your beauties!!!

mariner · November 3, 2014 12:07PM

Thank you so much, Henri. Your comments are greatly appreciated.

This Jensen card is suprisingly tough......

Stone193 · November 4, 2014 11:28PM

Another superb card Don.

bishop · November 5, 2014 5:20AM

Well look who showed up. Are you lost Mike ?

If there is not a 63 Fleer PSA thread in here , you should start one

mariner · November 10, 2014 10:03PM

Thanks Mike and Al!

I agree with Al....Mike, you have the best 1963 Fleers I have ever seen. You should start a thread and post some of your beauties here.

mariner · November 11, 2014 10:45AM

bishop · November 12, 2014 1:19AM

mariner · November 15, 2014 2:15AM

Thanks, Al....I have more to post in due course.

mariner · November 18, 2014 12:37PM

Just recently added this one to my collection as well.

bishop · November 18, 2014 10:03PM

Those 59 Sporting News Rookie Star cards were cool, and unique. Too bad there were not many ( any ?) true stars.

Although 59 "Rookie Star" Kent Hadley may have died knowing that one of his Topps 1960 cards was a true Holy Grail of the post war hobby
