Pretty Nice Partial Set Pickup (ebay) with scans

Bosox1976

I know, I know... you are probably sick of all my 62T stuff. That said, here is some more

Bought a partial set off of ebay, crappy photos, poor description (other than numbers listed)...most of the usual things to avoid. I bought it primarily because the Maris and Koufax looked like 6's from what I could see - so I hoped for a bunch in that range.

I paid a little over $500 for a little over 500 cards. I figured I'd get a set in the 4-5 range. Pleased to get many in the 6 range, a few possible 7's. Quite a few were in the 1-3 range too (including #200 Mantle), but quite a few nice high numbers too. Anyway, I thought I'd share, as for me it was like a rip given the pleasant surprise of the condition.

I actually think I'll be able to use 100+ cards in my Ex/Mt set, including many of the stars below:

Mike, that Gibby looks good in the scan. The Santo as well. For a buck a card, I think you did well. Good work.

That set grows on me the more I see it.

Had the Maris once (much worse than that one) and wish that I still had it but I guess whatever it was I traded it away for was important at the time.

Thanks for sharing the pics.

For about a buck a card and a ton of HOF'ers, I would say you did pretty darn good.

I'm never sick of great looking 62's Mike. Nice pickup. One of these days I need to buy a #592 Parade (McDowell and Radatz). When I do I'm sure I'll consult you.

Yup I agree 1.00 per? Good job Mike.

Very nice indeed! Incredible deal really. A fine example of some of the great lots that one can come by with some patience and especially luck!!

Mike, What do you think the Maris will grade?

Bosox1976

I'd say 5.5 to 6 on the Maris. 6 for sure a year or two ago.

Here are the "Ugly Betty's":

Nice pickup Mike. No such thing as an ugly Mantle, and I love those checkerboard variations.

Very nice pick up, and like Nick said, even your Ugly Betty's aren't that ugly.

I always thought Duke Snider would have been a great Western movie star. Always has that faraway look in his eyes. Like he's about to leave the woman he loves and ride out to Monument Valley.

Nice vintage loot !

Great to see the array of stars and HOFers. Even your "uglies" have great character to them.

I wish I could plop down the $500 for that ... you did well.

cheers
