I've always loved that shot of Marichal in the '63T set -- the color combinations, the angle of the shot, the lighting -- it all fits together so well.
Great looking '63's. I love that set. Haven't made much progress on my '71 set lately, but I have managed to pick a few up along the way. Will post some more '75s later.
Brett - Thanks for the kind words. I have a ton of EX condition '71s too, but my plan was to build an avg EX - EX/MT set and upgrade to NM one over a number of years. I've been lucky to pick up quite a few NM ones along the way. I imagine I'll have a couple sets when all is said and done.
Can't wait to get in in my Banks registry... got it for $35 on the Bay. it does have a mild crease from top to bottom just behind his back. I'm hoping for a PSA 4. Not sure if that's wishful thinking...?
Some cards I pulled while ripping packs this week. Some of these were posted in another thread(s), but I thought I'd post them again in case others hadn't seen them:
Let me first say, those '71 basketball cards are amazing! Absolute gems! My '69 set lacks in high quality but I just put these up today for the first card #1 Batting Leaders I just received yesterday from Neal (leadoff4) here on the board. A thanks to him for a great looking card. Great stuff today folks, take care. Doug
<< <i>WOW. Awesome '71 Basketball. Where does one even find a vending box of that stuff these days! >>
Bought it years ago from a grand gentlman Mr. Hoppenworth ...
Decided it was time for it to see the light.
Thanks for the praise. >>
Those 71's are awesome! I am presently building a raw set so I really appreciate seeing those....beautiful cards!
If you want to part with any let me know...I still need about 25 cards to complete my set. I could $$ for them or trade. PLMK!
My daughter was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at the age of 2 (2003). My son was diagnosed with Type 1 when he was 17 on December 31, 2009. We were stunned that another child of ours had been diagnosed. Please, if you don't have a favorite charity, consider giving to the JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation)
Have to love the clean look of the '64 set. Kaline and Brooks Robby have a few marginal corners but centering is good on those boys. The bottom four are the best, if I may say so myself. Have a good weekend. Doug
fresh off the presses....bought two packs at my local target...not vintage but maybe some of you haven't seen the new one's yet. The Pujols and Porcello are the base cards, the two black bordered cards are for an online function you can do and the other four are all inserts....don't know if I hit the motherload on the packs but there were two inserts in each pack.
Speaking of modern cards, I was going through some 2001 All Star stuff this week which was here in Seattle. Although the Randy Johnson card creeps me out a little, I love the Ichiro card and it was also the picture on the press pass we were given which was an added bonus. One of my favorite press passes.

Sweet '63s!
mike
For a bit, this set was really hot - now ya could probably get a whole box for 20 bucks?

So, if someone produces a die cut? Lets produce a zillion of them!
I did kind of like them.

Your '63's may not be Mint, but they sure look great.
Don,
Each group of '71's you post looks nicer than the one before. You're going to have an amazing set.
Don - 71T's will have ya screamin' into the nite! Very impression - love the black borders!
thanx

I remember a kid pulling the triple auto of this insert series - incredible!

Centering and corners and great.
My 3 in 1 scanner is horrible and has a mind of its own.
Will eventually sub.
Good luck on the sub - don't want to jinx it with a guess on the grade - but they look perfect.

1913 Lajoie Game Card - from the BB game.
It's interesting how one card could so much more toned in the same set of cards.

<< <i>Here's a nice Mick card from the 60T set - but it definitely has too much ink - would probably get a qualifier.

You think so Mike? I think is might escape a qualifier if you're only talking that roller mark at the top. Nice looking card

I got back to scanning some of my '75 set in again. Here's a couple scans:
Collecting: Topps 1952-79, Bowman 1952-55, OPC 1965-71, and Pre-War White Sox cards

The scanner's being kind to the card Doug - it has a nice blue haze to the entire card.

<< <i>I really like that Goudey set Tom - nice card - are you doing that set? I see you could be using it as a White Sox type?
mike >>
Exactly Mike - it's going into my type set. I've already got a yellow one...now I'll just have to wait until a red or blue Taft Wright surfaces

Same with yours Daddy, great cards guys.
Going thru a vending box as I type this.
Oh, and a Clemente I came across.
Great cards everybody !!

i had over 75% of white letter variations in psa 8 or better once upon a time,
but 70s cardboard quickly became my addiction.
seaver is a beast of a card that year too, very nice centering.

Card in hand today. 10 times better than scan that was attached in e-mail to me. beautiful SP card!!
I'd like to second that. Great cards. They really come to life with your large scans.
Not much to post this week. If I get bored I'll post some more 75's later. I did pick up this nice '71 Simmons RC for my set today:
