50's load is in.

WinPitcher · March 11, 2008 3:36AM

My mailman friend just dropped off the cards to me. I will now go through them and pick out the ones we should get graded.

I'll start scanning them shortly.

1953 Topps and Bowman as well as 1954 Topps and Bowman are in the lot.

Grades range from 6 thru 8 I assume.

Centering is all over the place so I'll cherry only those that have decnt centering first.

OnlyThe10s · March 11, 2008 3:45AM

I'm excited to see them. Thanks for posting Steve.

SportsItUpCards · March 11, 2008 3:48AM

Yeah, i'm excited too!

cwazzy · March 11, 2008 3:52AM

I know I'm probably in the minority here but I would really like to see the '54 Bowman. And the rest of course.

Oops, sorry Steve. Didnt realize you were all set.

Nice Mick BTW.

gumbyfan · March 11, 2008 4:10AM

Steve,

When are you going to get to the good cards?

Great lookin' stuff right there.

Craig

cwazzy · March 11, 2008 4:12AM

Nice '54s Steve! I love the Berra and the Mick! Are any of these for sale?

Chris

WinPitcher · March 11, 2008 4:14AM

OnlyThe10s · March 11, 2008 4:15AM

If you're looking to sell, I'd be interested in the 54B Wynn. I have a few of his cards including his 49 Bowman Rookie. I like his cards.

WinPitcher · March 11, 2008 4:17AM

Alan i think I can swing that.

Ill let you know.

Downtown1974 · March 11, 2008 4:26AM

Steve, Those are some incredible cards. Keep em' coming.

julen23 · March 11, 2008 4:29AM

you say "we" should get graded?

who are you referring to, just wondering....

superior cardboard also, man, way too expensive for my 70s cardboard tastes!

WinPitcher · March 11, 2008 4:30AM

Thanks

This just basically scratches the surface too.

I'm getting a lil tired now i'll do more later.

Steve

kidzfund · March 11, 2008 4:32AM

Very nice!!

I'm going to leave a note for my mailman....you never know

WinPitcher · March 11, 2008 4:32AM

Julen, I am referring to the owner of the cards my mailman friend.

ahhh you thought he delivered them as the mailman, NO he is my mailman and these are his cards which he inherited.

The deal is for me to liquidate them for him.

besides being my mailman he is also a friend and was my catcher on a few teams over the yrs.

Steve

Sorry, but I thought (wrongly) (what else is new) that you would have seen my prior thread about this)

julen23 · March 11, 2008 4:37AM

holy -ish!

don't say he was your catcher, that sounds perverse!

j

OnlyThe10s · March 11, 2008 4:52AM

I definitely want the Wynn and I'd like to know a price on the Teddy as well.

Thanks Steve.

baseballfan · March 11, 2008 4:59AM

very nice cards
let me know if you have a price list.
thanks
fred

clydecoolidge · March 11, 2008 5:17AM

Wow, nice cards there. I remember your post about your mailman friend. Must have been pretty cool to come across some of those cards when he showed you what he had. Nice!!!

bsidegrve · March 11, 2008 5:18AM

I collect football.......but after seeing cards like these..I for sure at some point soon would be very interested in starting alittle baseball collection...

Allen · March 11, 2008 5:21AM

You should have offered him $500 for all his junk.

bsidegrve · March 11, 2008 5:28AM

Sorry for the dumb question.....but what year are these?

WinPitcher · March 11, 2008 5:29AM

1954 Topps

Allen the guy is my friend, i offered him 750.00

Steve

bsidegrve · March 11, 2008 5:33AM

Thanx.....I will have to start alittle vintage baseball collection.....great looking cards!

F1ferrari · March 11, 2008 5:43AM

If you're in charge of liquidating these cards for this gentleman, allow me to offer $20 for the Aaron rookie.

Those are som AWESOME cards right there. That is one heck of an inheritance!

Downtown1974 · March 11, 2008 5:52AM

The more I look at those 53s, the more I want to do that set.

themetalsign · March 11, 2008 5:55AM

Steve, Let's do some talkin' on the Aaron Rookie.............

Dave D.

Kurtman9 · March 11, 2008 6:09AM

Steve, WoW, those are some incredible cards. Good luck with the sales.

WinPitcher · March 11, 2008 6:22AM

Thanks for all the replies guys I have to send most in to get graded so he can maximize his
return, I am sure some will not go in for grading though unless we use a bulk service.

I'll try and get up some more scans later tonite.

Steve

BigRedMachine · March 11, 2008 7:56AM

Great looking stuff Steve.

It's hard to believe that people still have stuff like that sitting around, when most of us would give a body part for a collection like that.

shawn

DrJ · March 11, 2008 7:57AM

I am interested in any Robin Roberts or Richie Ashburn cards you may have. Let me know.

41GoudeyGuy · March 11, 2008 8:00AM

Let me know if you have a Dick Groat in the 1953 Topps group. Looking for a PSA 7 version of this card.

Brian

originalisbest · March 11, 2008 8:17AM

Your mailman certainly got a knowledgeable and trustworthy guy to assist him! Great looking cards -- good luck on their sale!

WinPitcher · March 11, 2008 8:28AM

Justin and Brian i will, give me a few days to digest all this first.

Steve

Pete14Rose · March 11, 2008 8:29AM

Wow, beautiful cards!

WinPitcher · March 11, 2008 8:32AM

WinPitcher · March 11, 2008 8:41AM

WinPitcher · March 11, 2008 8:45AM

I'm thinking the majority of the cards are 6's (the kaline a 5) and that is how I'll submit them, if they come back higher it's a bonus.

Of the 200 or so he gave me today I think maybe 10 would get an 8.

He has no idea about any of this as he sent me 6 of one guy 5 of another etc.

The best thing to do is drip and drab thses cards out.

I'll see him tomorrow and ask for some certain commons that I looked up and are low pop. It is a longshot (he has to have the card and it has to be 8 worthy too)

anyways I made up a 20 card order of the really hi dollar cards and we'll see.

Steve

Stone193 · March 11, 2008 8:51AM

Some nice star cards in the group Steve.

Good luck on the grading and the upcoming sale.

mike

WinPitcher · March 11, 2008 8:54AM

Thanks Mike.

Steve

perkdog · March 11, 2008 12:52PM

Very nice Steve! That '53 Whitey Ford is a great looking card, along with the Mays, Berra, and did I mention the Ted Williams?...well I guess I like them all now that I think of it! I bet your friend is relieved to have you helping him out and he wasnt "Taken" by someone...

Ahmanfan · March 11, 2008 1:24PM

Great deal. Your friend should do very nice I imagine. Hard to argue with these key cards, thats for sure. How did they manage to stay in ex and above for so long? pages? any idea?
John

SidePocket · March 11, 2008 2:26PM

I'm speechless. Those are some of the all time classic cards right there.

nightcrawler · March 11, 2008 2:47PM

Nice cards Steve, deadly pickup.

Great thread.

70chip · March 11, 2008 3:18PM

GREAT stuff Steve, dem some beauties!!!!! Good luck with the grades. Thanks for sharing the scans, WOW!!!!

WinPitcher · March 11, 2008 8:34PM

John

When I saw them they were in pages.

His cousin (he died) bought them as a kid, and kept them in a shoe box until the 80's explosion when he got back into cards
and put them into pages.

Steve

RonBurgundy · March 11, 2008 10:34PM

Steve - really nice cards! Good luck with the submission(s)!

Ron

WinPitcher · March 11, 2008 10:45PM
