Truly a beautiful card. On my White Whale list but I don't have the coin for that one since I am focusing on Jim Brown at this time. Good luck with the sale.
Half of the top 20 set have the little "Updated" flag next to them....that's the kind of activity I like to see on this set! Personally, I'm toiling away somewhere in the mid-50s, but I was able to pick up this beauty from our good friend in Anchorage:
The centering and brightness of the coloring make this 7 better looking than any of the 8s I have seen.
to anyone on the list looking for additions/upgrades to their sets...please take a look at the Fletcher Collection.....most cards are available....good luck to all with your quest!

<< <i>I may be a little behind but I just noticed there is a Bronko PSA 8.5 now. Does anyone know the story on it? Who's is it? Was it a review bump? >>
Vince, I'm glad that you brought this up because I had not noticed this either. No one here seems to know the story on it. Gradewise, it is indeed the second-best PSA-graded example. It also is both unlikely and noteworthy because it is the only Nagurski to ever receive a bump to a half-grade. No Nagurski PSA 7.5s, 6.5s, 5.5s, 4.5s, etc. exist.
Selling my Football HOF RCs has been relatively easy. I am surprised with the high buying demand in this strong recession. In fact, lots of mine have already sold on the CU Boards' Vintage Sportscard Trading Forum at this link, and some others were consigned to Pre War Card Collector's auction hosted by eBay, which begins March 25th (next Thursday).
1935 National Chicle #24 Clarke Hinkle (HOF) (RC) PSA 8 NM-MT Green Bay Packers *For Sale here*
Thanks mate. Got caught up surfing through the PSA registry the other day -- before I knew it 3 hours had passed as I mucked around in there. Is it just me or is the Football HOF RC category one of the most active?
Collecting HOF RC's in hockey, baseball, football and basketball. A fool's errand some have said.
Either go to your profile tab at top of page and check to allow private messages or send me an e-mail offer to ikewash77@yahoo.com I have a Randle RC PSA 10 I would consider selling.
Mike - Your givin it away at $900. Bargain price. Vince I ditto the opinion on Pete Fletcher. He is cool. Even if he just pussies around with Heismans. LOL - Fletch
Keith - Prewar will be auctioning on the Bay - is that correct?
Vince, U dah man - I am headed to play Cyp Pt Tues. Weather 65 and sunny. No laying up on 16 baby!
Jim, let me know how you go at Cyp Pt. I can only imagine the views -- or look at pictures. I agree about 16 too -- laying up is for pansies. You playing the tips?

Keith - Prewar will be auctioning on the Bay - is that correct?
I agree on the Hutson. Though I'm phasing out of many PSA cards and into some SGC cards, I'm nearly tempted to buy the Hutson for a short-term hold at that bargain price.
Hi Jim, how's it going? Yes, PreWarCardCollector has indeed been entrusted with a large number of my high grade, high eye appeal PSA Football HOF RCs (and lots of other vintage football that aren't HOF RCs). Their eBay-hosted football auction is to begin this Thursday, March 25th. Some of them are examples of what you are best known for - 1955 Topps All-Americans. It includes HOF RCs of Nevers 8.5, Hein 8, Kinard 8, Ace Parker 8. (There's also a knockout Otto Graham 8.)
Though it's nothing groundbreaking, here's a card I bought more recently that meet's this thread's theme. I relish '48 Leafs like this one with strong print on the text and background, no bleed-throughs, and bright color:
Below are just a couple of the pieces that I recently received back from my first SGC Grading submission. Other than the holder, the Hein card fits this thread's theme and the Bowman Baugh RC belongs to the SGC Football HOF Rookies Set Composite.
For my eye, SGC's museum-esque black matte frame around the black-and-white Baugh image compliments the subject with a subdued embellishment.
C'mon now...whether or not you agree, you must appreciate that I am sharing images of men whom are donning complete shirts with full sleeves.
I usually update my spreadsheet with current VCP pricing and updated pop reports on this set every week or two. Here are a few changes in the pop report in the last couple of weeks that I think are noteworthy:
2 new Waterfield 7s 2 new Baugh 7s 1 new Connor 7 1 new Otto Graham 9!!! 2 new Namath 8s 1 new Csonka 9
DeLamielleure 9s dropped from 71 to 65 and the 10s increased from 5 to 11. Perhaps not coincidentally, 4SC has a DeLam 10 listed on eBay.
I see lots of '55 AA's (mostly HOF rooks) being auctioned on ebay by PREWAR. Assuming yours Keith - should be good timing as lots of AA activity lately with prices going up, up and up.
Mexpo Mike - Did you get the Hutson sold?
Down Under Vince - Shot 88 from the tips at Cypress Point after nervously starting dbl-dbl on one and two. Made nine pars, and blasted driver into the wind on 16. I nutted it and caddy said it hit the rocks and missed clearing by 2 ft! My only adjust of the rd. - took a 5 there. Spectacular place - best golf course in the world (although you might argue a few of your tracks could be). Played MPCC Shore course next day and carded 85 with back to back birdies on 9 & 10. 10 is the signature par three. Site of this year's AT & T, and although not in the same league as Cyp Pt, a terriffic top 100 course. You would love it.
Very envious about Cypress Jim. Glad you played well and there's no shame in falling short on 16. One round for the memory bank. Had a golf weekend myself with the boys -- first rounds after a long layoff. Went 81-88-81, not too ad but very rusty. Would've gotten smashed from the tips at CP.
Dave, great looking Marchetti -- bump??

Guys: As we get closer to more modern cards being used for the Football HOF set. I was wondering about variations of standard cards ie refractor, diecut and so on being available for use. I have noticed that these variations are able to be used on the key card sets. If they are not to be used for the HOF set why are they able to be used in those other sets. David

Not trying to speak for him, but I think that is the point Dave is trying to make. If the parallels are not considered RCs, why can they be used in the key card sets? I have particularly noticed this in the Future HOF set with the Tomlinson Topps Chrome RC, where many of the higher-end collectors using the refractor parallel for their future HOF sets. Since it is permitted in the Future set, one would only presume that it will be allowed in the HOF RC set if/when LT (or any other player with a chrome, finest, etc. card used) actually makes the Hall. Only being in this set about 3 years, I believe the vote on this (if there was one) was done prior to my involvement in this set, so perhaps one of the veteran collectors here can shed some light on how the parallels came to be permitted in these sets.

Exactly Jasen.
Personally I have a card in the Super Bowl MVP set for 2002 TOPPS CHROME DEION BRANCH that is a refractor and it plugs in with no problem. Either the refractors or other variations are OK for addition to all the sets or they are not. So if they are not I think we need to stop they're use on other sets to avoid any suprises later. I know from experience that any variation has the capabilities of being added to a set where it is called for, from test adding potential cards for purchase from ebay.
David
It is always easier to fight for one’s principles than to live up to them-Adlai Stevenson
Yep, as stated above, the 2001 Topps Chrome Rookie Refractors are NOT parallels. Not sure if there are any other instances in some of the team sets, but certainly are NOT any in the Future HOF Modern set, which is a pre-cursor to the exact cards that will transfer to the HOF RC set upon induction.
If there are any being used in other key card sets, it is simply a Registry programming error allowing them. To my knowledge PSA has gone through and corrected all of them, however as new cards are added to some sets, there may be errors. Eventually PSA will find them and fix them.
Do you have specific examples Dave?

Got my tickets to the Packer Hall of Fame dinner for July. Haven't been there in three years so looking forward to seeing some important players inducted into the Pro Football HOF.
Bart Starr will be there for sure along with Paul Hornung. Jerry Kramer, who should be in the hall, is a regular attendee. I heard Willie Wood will not be attending. Willie Davis will be though. I don't hound the guys for auto's but do get a decent amount on my program each year.
A few years back I got to shoot the @$% with my two favorite Packers of all time for a good 20 minutes prior to the dinner. Lynn Dickey and Gerry Ellis. Not Pro Football HOF material but it made my night.
Well, here is to the off season everyone! Go Draft!

Anyone have any new items to share? I've having withdrawal not being able to "purchase at will", but I did pick up this beauty from Keith. Definatly one of the nicest 6's ive seen.
Does anyone here know anybody over at Panini? WIth the football card landscape the way it is, this might be the best opportunity in decades for the collecting community to have input over what a modern football set should look like.
<< <i>I heard that Upper Deck lost it's football licence. It looks like the only football set for this coming year will be Panini. That really sucks..... >>
It seems like alot of collectors that only focus on modern products are really upset by this. 2010 will be strange without both Topps and UD.

Nice Nag JC! Congratulations on an awesome pickup buddy! I agree, if I only had a card that nice, it would be in my sig line!!
Edited to add: Frank, and you can call me Mr. Joe, I got the 65 Warfield from Rick at Mint state at the Chicago national 2 years ago. In exchange for the purchase he bought me lunch, gave me 2 Mint state pens, and let me pose in a picture with his beard.....
With a card like that I would have to call you Sire
If you ever decide to sell that card to me, I would throw in a steak dinner at Maloney and Porcelli's here in NYC (my favorite NY steakhouse). Not as nice as Mint State pens, but right up there

<< <i>Got my tickets to the Packer Hall of Fame dinner for July. Haven't been there in three years so looking forward to seeing some important players inducted into the Pro Football HOF.
Bart Starr will be there for sure along with Paul Hornung. Jerry Kramer, who should be in the hall, is a regular attendee. I heard Willie Wood will not be attending. Willie Davis will be though. I don't hound the guys for auto's but do get a decent amount on my program each year.

Very cool stuff. Really can't beat it when guys you admire talk to you and treat you as an equal.

<< <i>I heard that Upper Deck lost it's football licence. It looks like the only football set for this coming year will be Panini. That really sucks..... >>
It seems like alot of collectors that only focus on modern products are really upset by this. 2010 will be strange without both Topps and UD.

<< <i>I can't wait to add a 2010 Panini card to the HOF RC set in about 20 years....... >>
C'mon, Dave...a 2010 Panini Ndamukong Suh would fit right in next to this kind of stuff
ANYONE GOT ANY BUBBLE MAILERS FOR SALE?
No but I got this new Nagurski 7 BAM!
<< <i>Lol Jasen you just wanted an excuse to drop the new Bronko on us! If I had that card I'd drop it in threads it didn't even belong in.
>>
Nice Nag JC! Congratulations on an awesome pickup buddy! I agree, if I only had a card that nice, it would be in my sig line!!
Edited to add: Frank, and you can call me Mr. Joe, I got the 65 Warfield from Rick at Mint state at the Chicago national 2 years ago. In exchange for the purchase he bought me lunch, gave me 2 Mint state pens, and let me pose in a picture with his beard.....
<< <i>Nice, very nice Waterfield Dave. Whats the deal with that card to be in a 6 holder? Perfectly centered, looks clean...
Man I love the leaf set
Joe, that is one fine looking Football card. One of my all-time favorite cards. Totally jealous.
Nice of Rick to treat you to a few pens and a beard pose!
With a card like that I would have to call you Sire
If you ever decide to sell that card to me, I would throw in a steak dinner at Maloney and Porcelli's here in NYC (my favorite NY steakhouse). Not as nice as Mint State pens, but right up there
