Really nice Bert. I've been looking for a reasonably priced descent one for a while now...

pdub1819 · April 7, 2014 7:43AM

Nice Bert, those are always so tough.
I need to pick up another one with my eBay bucks.

pdub1819 · April 18, 2014 12:48AM

This is what I picked up using my eBay bucks and some additional funds:

jay0791 · April 18, 2014 9:35AM

Very nice

and basically free w/ bucks. What's better than that

paleocards · April 26, 2014 11:48AM

Here's a tough HOFer RC from the 1945-46 Caramelo Deportivo Cuban League set, my first Negro Leaguer original card (thanks Scott!)

shagrotn77 · April 27, 2014 12:09PM

Very tough card. Congrats on the pickup.

ABellPharmD · April 29, 2014 9:35AM

Awesome Cuban! Congrats on the new addition

pdub1819 · May 10, 2014 11:12PM

Latest pick up using my ebay bucks.

Fabfrank · May 11, 2014 1:02AM

Nice Brock! PM me what that cost you.

pdub1819 · May 11, 2014 6:11AM

It's getting to the point where I have to start saving for the big ones…Mantle, Mays, Robinson…

Hopefully I have the patience...

pdub1819 · May 17, 2014 7:29AM

Here's my latest pickup…I blame the quadruple ebay bucks on this one.

paleocards · May 22, 2014 4:43AM

Posted this on the main board, but it should really go into the permanent record here...enjoy!

Fabfrank · May 22, 2014 10:11AM

paleo- did you just win that card on Ebay??

pdub1819 · May 22, 2014 1:55PM

Very nice Catfish!

paleocards · May 23, 2014 1:28PM

Yes Fabfrank, in PWCC's auction that closed May 8th.

Fabfrank · May 24, 2014 2:29AM

I thought it looked familiar. The card was on my radar. Don't remember if I bid or not. Congrats though. Card looks great.

pdub1819 · June 5, 2014 12:31PM

Latest pick up from the Long Beach Expo:

I didn't really want this card in such a low grade, but I always make it a point to purchase at least one card from the show. Trying to do my part to help it grow….one card at a time…and I sent some cards in to PSA.

BPorter26 · June 6, 2014 5:32AM

Paul nice additions to your collection.

pdub1819 · June 11, 2014 11:14AM

Bobby,

I saw your Jackie pick up and I had to get one (even though I was saving up for a Mantle or Mays rookie)
What do you guys think?

Again, sorry for the picture, I took it off of eBay since I haven't received it in hand yet.

RookieHOFers · June 12, 2014 12:47AM

Paul, Thats a beautiful Jackie. Welcome to the club.

Matt

pdub1819 · June 14, 2014 2:47AM

Here are the updated scans:

Any thoughts on getting a bump?

BPorter26 · June 19, 2014 11:06PM

Paul, Based on the scan I don't think it gets the bump.

Here's a few I've picked up in the last couple of months and haven't really had time to share.

I showed this card on another thread, but it does belong here. It looks like an 8 to me

paleocards · June 20, 2014 1:25AM

The McCovey and Reggie are both really nice 7's, congrats Bobby!

shagrotn77 · June 20, 2014 1:32AM

Great centering on those cards, Bobby. That Jackie looks like it was printed yesterday!

pdub1819 · June 20, 2014 1:45AM

Bobby,

I would have taken your Jackie over mine in a heart beat.

shagrotn77 · June 20, 2014 7:46AM

A few new HOF RCs to add to my set(s):

Upgrade #1:

Upgrade #2:

One for the Pre-War HOF RCs Set:

RookieHOFers · June 20, 2014 7:57PM

Nice cards Bobby, You really selected some beauties for the grades. That Jackie is just unreal.

RookieHOFers · June 20, 2014 7:58PM

Congrats Andy, I had noticed that you set took an uptick in overall GPA. Both the Matthews and Doby look great. Both are really tough cards. What's next?

Matt

RookieHOFers · June 20, 2014 8:01PM

Its been awhile since I have updated. These are the last few new additions.

shagrotn77 · June 20, 2014 11:37PM

<< <i>Congrats Andy, I had noticed that you set took an uptick in overall GPA. Both the Matthews and Doby look great. Both are really tough cards. What's next?

Max Carey and Harry Heilmann are next up. And some day (not soon) I'll hopefully add the '48 Leaf Paige and Robinson cards that I need to complete the set. But enough about that. Those are some real beauties that you posted. That Jackie 8 is spectacular!

jay0791 · June 20, 2014 11:53PM

leman

All of your cards are extremely nice quality and great eye appeal for the grades.

Andy

Personally I wouldn't get caught dead with anything less than a psa 8 Eddie Mathews in my collection

Fabfrank · June 21, 2014 1:51AM

Pdub and Bporter- I can't believe the grades on those Jackie Robinsons. Those card are gorgeous. Great finds and I gotta believe are worthy of getting bumped.

BPorter26 · June 21, 2014 4:45AM

Andy, fantastic upgrades on two very difficult cards. The EM has amazing centering

Matt, all of those cards are stunning.

paleocards · June 23, 2014 6:30AM

Gorgeous cards Andy & Matt, well done!

Decided to take advantage of some good pricing and online discounts in anticipation of next year's HOF induction class (not sure if all 4 will get in but if it was up to me Cooperstown would welcome Johnson, Martinez & Piazza in 2015. Edited to add: and, of course, Biggio should get in too!)

See you in Cleveland!

jay0791 · June 23, 2014 6:59AM

Gorgeous cards. I agree those 3 r in 4 sure.

pdub1819 · June 26, 2014 12:42PM

My latest pick up…I'm doing my best to keep the cards centered and not worrying to much on corners.

I've got a couple more on the way, pics will be added later. I hope everyone enjoys their weekend.

jay0791 · June 26, 2014 8:44PM

Probably most of us prefer centering over corners.

Super Monte with great eye appeal.

Still can't get over that 2.5 Jackie !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BPorter26 · June 27, 2014 7:12AM

Andy...... Nice pre HOF pickups. I think Pedro, Smoltz and Johnson are in first ballot. I would like to see Piazza get in with Bonds and Clemens, but I don't see that happening anytime soon. Jay thanks again on the JR. It's a stunning card for it's grade. I've been on a spending spree on first ballot guys in the last few months. Here's my latest one. I've really concentrated on centering this time around.

RookieHOFers · June 27, 2014 11:29AM

That's a really nice Yaz Bobby. That looks every bit as nice as many 8's I have seen.

shagrotn77 · June 27, 2014 12:32PM

<< <i>That's a really nice Yaz Bobby. That looks every bit as nice as many 8's I have seen. >>

+1

jay0791 · June 27, 2014 8:49PM

Super Yaz...and no print spots that plague this issue.

RookieHOFers · July 1, 2014 9:06AM

Newest addition. Down to 7 on the first ballot set!

}

pdub1819 · July 1, 2014 9:21AM

Nice Ozzie Matt,

I'll be scanning starting tonight... Let's see how many I get through.

shagrotn77 · July 1, 2014 9:29AM

That Ozzie 9 is superb!

jay0791 · July 1, 2014 9:36AM

Superior wizard. Tough centering on this issue.

pdub1819 · July 2, 2014 3:20AM

Here is my first batch of HOF Rookies that I have rescanned, I was only able to get through 1965 so far.
I'm hoping to get to the rest tonight.

RookieHOFers · July 2, 2014 8:57PM

Paul, Those scans look so much better. You have done a great job buying the card and not the holder. Look forward to seeing the rest.

RookieHOFers · July 2, 2014 8:59PM

Most of my focus has been on the first ballot HOFers as of late, but I picked this one up. I think this guy is so underrated. 9 X All-Star, 7 yrs with 20 wins or more, and a 2.89 career ERA.

pdub1819 · July 3, 2014 10:04AM

Matt,

That is one nice card. When you decide to get a 9, let me know and I might take that off your hands.
Here is the rest of my set so far!

Thanks for taking the time to look at my cards.

BPorter26 · July 8, 2014 7:39AM

Matt... Beautiful Smith and even better in hand. Paul.... Nice collection you have put together, your Musial RC's have fantastic eye appeal.

Here's my latest pickup this beauty arrived today.
