Here are a few nice 59's I picked up recently.......

RonBurgundy · October 26, 2007 10:30PM

Picked these up from a shop while on a business trip recently. They'll go in the stockpile for a 50's bulk submission.

There are 5 of them. Let's go from worst to best.

stown · October 26, 2007 10:38PM

Damn Ron, you sure do pick up some great raw product.

How come I only find overpriced beaters for the most part

lostdart58 · October 26, 2007 11:24PM

Could you make the picture bigger please..........and more black background.

jmbkb4 · October 26, 2007 11:30PM

<< Could you make the picture bigger please..........and more black background. >>

ah, come on now!

thanks for sharing, Mr. Burgandy.

nam812 · October 26, 2007 11:32PM

I usually dont go for Burgundy's constant boasting, but I enjoy looking quality raw cards. Those that dont like it can just avoid the thread.

RonBurgundy · October 26, 2007 11:53PM

Well here's another one and you stay classy, boys. I'd love to see some of the stuff that other folks have. No boasting intended, just like to share with other collectors.

ldferg · October 27, 2007 12:07AM

if this is worst to best....geez, i can't wait for the other 3...very very sharp cards.

samspop · October 27, 2007 12:32AM

Hey RonBurgundy....

Is that a "sliding buggar" on your scanner just above the Mike Baxes card????

Nice cards!!

RonBurgundy · October 27, 2007 12:46AM

mealeworm · October 27, 2007 1:13AM

Those cards are unreal! I see a 7 and two 9's. I go to card shops and get supplies only. I haven't bought a card at a shop in almost 20 yrs. I haven't even seen any 300% over priced stuff worth buying in 10 yrs. Those are equal to the raw cards that Palo??? picks up on a regular basis. Any 57's

nam812 · October 27, 2007 1:15AM

Why did the title of the thread change Ron?

RonBurgundy · October 27, 2007 1:20AM

I changed it because if I gave the impression to you or others that I was boasting about these cards, that was not the intent.

I'll post the rest of these and then just avoid doing this in the future. While I think it's fun to share what I find with other collectors - and I enjoy seeing what others find as well - I don't need the abuse that apparently comes with it.

Stay classy,

Ron

nam812 · October 27, 2007 1:24AM

Do you boast and brag...yes yo do, but so do a lot of us. I actually stuck up for you when I said: "I enjoy looking quality raw cards. Those that don't like it can just avoid the thread."

Stop being so thin skinned thinking that was abuse, because it surely was not.

RonBurgundy · October 27, 2007 1:27AM

This card is super nice.

frankhardy · October 27, 2007 1:29AM

Those cards are fantastic. I don't consider it boasting at all. That's a big part of collecting to me - sharing and showing it off to others. And to me, these boards are really the only place that I can show off anything, because I really don't have very many people around where I live to show my collection to.

cravetopps · October 27, 2007 1:31AM

I love the Duren card. I remember that guy when I was a kid. We all thought he was like a blind guy throwing 90+ mph fastballs and they often went over batters heads. Scary.

itzagoner · October 27, 2007 1:36AM

beautiful stuff, dude....always enjoy looking at your ahem "boasting" threads....keep it up!

Rogermnj · October 27, 2007 1:45AM

I cant find cards this clean when I bust 80s product ....

Very nice!

SidePocket · October 27, 2007 2:23AM

Beautiful. 59 is one of my favorite sets. The centering is incredible.

glossycrazy · October 27, 2007 2:25AM

Ron- Continue to post the raw cards you find! I enjoy looking at "raw"cards and it shows other collectors that there are awesome cards out there still to be found!! If you don't like the thread... don't look at it and definitely don't give Ron any crap!! He doesn't deserve it and if you do look and are jealous it's better to move on to something else and keep your derogatory comments to yourself! Sharing is a big part of these message boards!
Paul

nam812 · October 27, 2007 2:49AM

Exactly what I said when I stuck up for Ron, and I will quote myself from just a few posts up above again for Paul "I enjoy looking quality raw cards. Those that dont like it can just avoid the thread."

Buccaneer · October 27, 2007 3:06AM

Same here. I looked once in the past 10 years and only saw 300% markups for higher grade vintages.

bigfische · October 27, 2007 3:14AM

Nice cards

Flintboy · October 27, 2007 3:23AM

I owe Mr. Burgundy quite a bit. I am a novice collecter trying to put together a midgrade 63 set. Through these boards I have met Mr. Burgundy several times and I assure you Nam, he is not boastful or arrogant. In fact he has gone way out of his way to be more than helpful and explain to me what to look for when putting together such a set. I treat this as a hobby, and I know that he does as well. Myself and probably 99.9% of the people on this board really enjoy looking at his scans ,your scans, anyones scans. I thought this was what the hobby was all about. I doubt anyone on this board could say anything bad about Ron.....That is except you Nam....

nam812 · October 27, 2007 3:30AM

<< Myself and probably 99.9% of the people on this board really enjoy looking at his scans ,your scans, anyones scans. I thought this was what the hobby was all about. >>

It is, and I will quote myself yet again for Flinty, from just a few posts up above when I stuck up for him by saying "I enjoy looking quality raw cards. Those that dont like it can just avoid the thread."

Im sure in person he was a peach of a man and the salt of the earth. Anyone who felt that me saying Ron boasts (which we all boast when we have nice things) about his high grade cards was an attack on him is way too thin skinned.

TheMcgwireMuseum · October 27, 2007 3:34AM

Just who exactly were you 'sticking up' for him against? If this isn't the place to show scans of cards, I dont know where is.

PS keep the scans coming Ron, but just a little faster!

goose3 · October 27, 2007 3:37AM

all solid 8's except for maybe the last one with the ding on the lower left corner and the horizontal card looks odd on the bottom left edge.

elsnorto · October 27, 2007 3:38AM

Nothing wrong with a little boasting... part of the collecting experience is being excited and proud of our treasures and finds. That is one of the main themes on these boards, as it darn well should be! As always, if someone is not interested in a topic/thread, they do not have to even open it. I probably skip at least 50% of the threads on this forum all together for whatever reason, typically because the title simply does not intrigue me. Heck, I do not even collect baseball, but I still very much enjoy checking threads like these to see others collecting interests, not to mention getting to see some cards I otherwise never would.

Short version... another vote to keep them scans a-comin' Ron and everyone else!

<< Just who exactly were you 'sticking up' for him against? >>

If you take the time to read all the posts you'd have seen the sarcastic post 2 above my defense that said " Could you make the picture bigger please..........and more black background." That's who.

TheMcgwireMuseum · October 27, 2007 3:49AM

Ahhhh! Silly me. Its so obvious, how did I ever miss that? And here I thought you were just being a d1ck out of the blue (as usual).

nam812 · October 27, 2007 3:51AM

Dont beat yourself up, some people arent fortunate enough to be able to see the obvious. God watches out for those.

ldferg · October 27, 2007 3:55AM

very nice. cars almost 50 years old and being able to find in that condition. they look fresh from the pack.

nam812 · October 27, 2007 3:59AM

For the prices one usually has to pay at a card shop (and i have no idea what Ron paid), I may have left that Duren card out with that lower left corner problem.

TheMcgwireMuseum · October 27, 2007 3:59AM

I wont lose sleep over it. I'm suprised you have time to reply in between your 'sweet' scans of '61s

nam812 · October 27, 2007 3:59AM

You mean my spoof thread? Didnt you read the first few lines? You have GOT to start reading all the posts in a thread.

jmbkb4 · October 27, 2007 4:04AM

surely no one would be boasting about 1959 commons, that would be sad!

let's all play nicely, boys.

TheMcgwireMuseum · October 27, 2007 4:04AM

<< You mean my spoof thread? Didnt you read the first few lines? You have GOT to start reading all the posts in a thread. >>

I read it. Its my point exactly. I'll summarize: 'Sticking' up for Ron and then posting a spoof thread? And, no, thats not the Starship Enterprise, its something else flying over your head.

goose3 · October 27, 2007 4:05AM

<< surely no one would be boasting about 1959 commons, that would be sad!

>>

When I sold off a bunch of my dad's stuff the commons are where the money was. I made more money from commons than stars. I can't even recall the name of one of them but it went for over 800.00 in PSA8.

You gotta love registry collectors.

jmbkb4 · October 27, 2007 4:13AM

goose,

I agree. Believe me. If I told you how much I've made off 1993 Refractor "commons" in PSA 9 and 10, you would probably be surprised, probably even think I was exaggerating.

But if I started a thread with the intent to "brag," it would be annoying.

I do not think Ron is boasting about the cards. It is an interesting find, and does show that there are raw finds out there still.

itzagoner · October 27, 2007 4:15AM

still waiting on card #5, the best one?

goose3 · October 27, 2007 4:16AM

Ron...

care if I add a pic of a small sampling of my old man's 59's from last year?

TheMcgwireMuseum · October 27, 2007 4:16AM

<< still waiting on card #5, the best one?

>>

Ditto! He's great at building overwhelming anticipation

jmbkb4 · October 27, 2007 4:18AM

goose!!

wow.

mealeworm · October 27, 2007 4:21AM

Goose that picture kills me. I bet that was a fun time going thru all of those cards.

Dave

stown · October 27, 2007 4:27AM

Holy mother of Jebus, Geshnu, and all of that.

zef204 · October 27, 2007 4:34AM

Goose, if only that Aaron kid panned out. Those may have been worth something.

goose3 · October 27, 2007 4:40AM

now you want to hear something sick yet comical?

He said that they used to actually put cards in their bike wheels and it didn't matter who the player was. They used whatever card they had the most of!

oaktown · October 27, 2007 4:51AM

Wow Goose...it's remarkable to see so many dups of HOFers! Did your Dad collect other years too?

RonBurgundy · October 27, 2007 4:56AM

Guys - here's the last card, had to run some errands.

nam812, no worries here. I'm a little wound up today, my dog Baxter got thrown off a bridge and I'm pretty upset about it.

Goose, OUTSTANDING stuff. I still remember you talking about your dad's cards and how much you made off of them. That is a beautiful pic!!!!

I guess I'm a little like Paleo from the west coast. He likes to post the best stuff he finds and I do too. Thank you all for the nice compliments. You know that if I can help any of you in any way, I'll do it.

Best,

Ron

goose3 · October 27, 2007 4:58AM

that one, depending on the bottom left corner, looks like it has a shot at a 9.

My dad had 59-61 for the most part. That pic was just a sample of the 59's. There were probably double those that you see there alone.

you doing a raw set of these Ron??

RonBurgundy · October 27, 2007 5:28AM

You know, I've never been a big fan of this set but these were so clean and reasonably priced I couldn't pass them up. They do look great when they are this nice.

This one does have a shot at a 9, I think.

Ron

Here are a few nice 59's I picked up recently.......
