Hey all! Thought I was going to sell the cello pack, but my OCD wouldn't allow it.

Here is the front and back, amazing clean pack! Also, I just had to have a 1959 common PSA 10. I wanted one with a pic/pose I like. This one works great! Looks like batting cage, stadium/grass, and a great baseball pose. Plus it's 1/4 pop, so price was right. Impressed with the centering, and clean green field.

I am sorry Don. I cannot pay even my lower counter of $2000 for the salesman panel even with a HOFer on it. The panel you own actually sold for $593 in fall of 2013. I believe an offer of double that of $1200 is more then fair. Thank you.

Darn, I guess the PMs must be disabled ....or something.

I wish I was smart enough to give Don advice about how to price 1959 Topps

Took the words right out of my mouth.

mariner · April 17, 2015 6:56AM

LOL....you guys are funny, Al and Bob!

mariner · May 9, 2015 3:50PM

It has been awhile since I posted a recent addition to my set....here is one.

bishop · May 9, 2015 10:19PM

Love the background on this card. Nice card too

bobsbbcards · May 10, 2015 7:46AM

Looking good, Don! Although you didn't know it, you and I are racing each other in this set. I'm trying to see if I can get to all 8's before you get to all 9's. I'm losing the battle.

bobsbbcards · May 10, 2015 7:47AM

Page turn.....please.....

mariner · May 10, 2015 9:16AM

Thanks, Al and Bob.

DanBessette · May 11, 2015 1:42AM

Love the Goodman. Very underrated player.

bishop · May 11, 2015 6:35AM

Bob-- maybe then you would be further along just buying the cards Don upgraded.

And I thought you told me you did not like those little circle cards anyway

mariner · May 11, 2015 12:40PM

It is baseball cards....Bob loves them all!

mariner · May 19, 2015 1:47PM

keepin' the thread going....

mariner · June 5, 2015 3:35PM

Just got this nice one in the mail today.....

bishop · June 6, 2015 12:52AM

Great card Don. First player to have the best League ERA while pitching for a last place team. Still living in Pittsburgh with his wife of 55 years

DanBessette · June 6, 2015 9:19AM

Friend and Face were an underrated duo for sure. Man, that card is sharp!

mariner · June 6, 2015 11:09PM

Thanks, Al and Dan....

Another one just acquired....

OilCanDan · June 7, 2015 5:48AM

Good looking card Don. I was the underbidder on that one. Enjoy!

DanBessette · June 7, 2015 6:16AM

What's the story with the yellow/green bottom corner? Were all copies of the card printed that way?

bishop · June 7, 2015 6:46AM

Dan---print defect but common and recurring. Not sure a completely clean version exists

Think how awesome this card would be if Lee was wearing sun glasses.

Walls died back in 1993. I wonder how many guys from the set are still with us

mariner · June 9, 2015 5:33AM

Thanks Dan, Dan and Al....

Good question, Al....many have passed but there are some notables still with us....Mays, Aaron, Cepeda, Schoendienst, Gibson, Herzog to name a few.....

This card has always been one of my favorite cards in the set.....the pose, color and player make it an awesome card.

bishop · June 9, 2015 5:44AM

Yep, a great card, but 2nd in line to his 57 card

mariner · June 10, 2015 3:17PM

Yes, the '57 card of Klu is a classic....

Just got this one too....too bad it is not the No Trade variation....but none exist in 9.

bishop · June 11, 2015 3:10AM

Born and died in my home town of St Louis. What the heck does "infield" mean anyway ?

bobsbbcards · June 11, 2015 10:26AM

<< What the heck does "infield" mean anyway ?

It's the area around the bases. Sheesh.

I thought Al knew all about baseball. Guess not!

Edit to add: Don, that Kluszewski card is awesome!

mariner · June 11, 2015 2:41PM

Al, Bob and Dan, you crack me up!

Classic definition Infield = Utility Player

mariner · June 11, 2015 2:42PM

page turn

mariner · June 11, 2015 2:42PM

again

mariner · June 11, 2015 2:42PM

what the heck is with the page turn?

bishop · June 12, 2015 2:04AM

"Here I am, on the road again. There I am, up on the stage. Here I go, playing star again. There I go, turn the page"...Bob Seger, middle infielder

mariner · June 14, 2015 5:42AM

Love your sense of humor, Al!

Just picked up this very tough HOF'er in high grade.....tougher than Mathews and Bunning.

DanBessette · June 14, 2015 1:24PM

I

half grades.

bishop · June 14, 2015 11:53PM

mariner · June 15, 2015 3:55PM

Now that is an awesome item Al!

mariner · August 22, 2015 3:47PM

time to get this going again....

One of my pickups from this year's National....

jackstraw · August 26, 2015 7:45AM

Wow that is awesome!

bishop · August 27, 2015 1:37AM

Hard to picture a 10 that would look better

PaulMaul · August 28, 2015 1:51AM

<< Hard to picture a 10 that would look better >>

I am so much more impressed by registry set collectors who prioritize eye appeal, as Mariner obviously does.

<< Hard to picture a 10 that would look better >>

mariner · August 29, 2015 5:20AM

Thanks, everyone.....

I got this at the National too......very difficult to find nicely centered.

bishop · August 30, 2015 1:04AM

Can anyone ID that guy in the stands

DanBessette · August 30, 2015 6:21AM

Don, your collection is nuts!!

Love the Shantz. Just picked up a small lot of beaters from this set and a gray back Shantz was among them. Also included a Skowron. I forget the others. Anyway, nice card!

mariner · August 30, 2015 9:59AM

Hmmm....he does look familiar....could that be you, Al?

Dan, thank you so much.....hope you are doing great!

mariner · September 5, 2015 4:15AM

59Horsehide · September 6, 2015 2:12AM

Congratulations, another great looking "9", Don. Will you be putting any "8's" on the market in the near future?

Jim

mariner · September 7, 2015 12:50AM

Jim...thanks and, yes, I do have some 8's for sale that I will put on ebay within the next few weeks. Send me an email and I will give you a list of them.
