Congratulations!

I thought you were gonna tell us that you killed Manny M. - in the living room - with a candlestick?

Good heavens Miss Yakamoto - you're beautiful!

he'd likely still outhit most current Dodgers.

Oh, nice card Geordie. It spins me right round.

Now that's funny (and sadly true)!

whats a PSA 10 Oates gonna run you?

thunderdan · May 31, 2011 3:33PM

Nice Manny. A much needed distraction from the whole Frank/Jamie soap opera.

TNP777 · May 31, 2011 4:19PM

<< whats a PSA 10 Oates gonna run you? >>

good question, Eric. Likely a lot, but also likely a fraction of what some would try to sell it to us for.

It's a dangerous path you are heading down my friend.

yankeeno7 · May 31, 2011 4:59PM

I told ya that you should have started to collect the 78 dodgers signed instead! hahaha

gameusedhoop · May 31, 2011 9:06PM

Told you that you were going to get a 10 eventually. It will be fun to watch BBG buy all the Dodgers in PSA 10 for the next few months just because you've faked him out and showed us an obviously stolen scan. You are just soooo mean.

BTW, it's only been a month and a half since you wrote this in a PM to me:

Screw that - it'll be a cold day before I ever go for 10s. Oates was bad enough to obtain in a 9 - ain't no 10s out there yet. >>

45 days!

You must be living in the Southern Hemisphere where winter is beginning.

And just remember, you did this to yourself.

Yankees001 · May 31, 2011 9:17PM

Nice card.

YogiBerraFan · May 31, 2011 9:42PM

Congrats!

TNP777 · June 4, 2011 9:52AM

well, it's in hand now. As Steve (gameusedhoop) noted, my "it'll be a cold day before I ever go for 10s" lasted all of 45 days. I'm more than satisfied with the 9s I've got, but if any opportunity comes up to pick off a 10 for a low price, I'll take it.

<< I told ya that you should have started to collect the 78 dodgers signed instead! hahaha >>

Barry, I may still do that. I think it'd be a real fun set to go after.

yankeeno7 · June 4, 2011 10:09AM

There are a few on that Dodgers team that are really easy to get TTM. Mota, Cey, Garvey, Russell, Hough, Hooten, Reggie Smith (Jes can get him for you), John, and Baker. Some of those guys dont charge. I dunno who else on that team are good signers...just I have had success with those. And it would be fun to see how many you could get on the Team card.

Bosox1976 · June 4, 2011 10:11AM

Sakamoto you say? I learn something every day.

Sweet Manny.

After seeing the first post , this was exactly my first thought , but you beat me to it.

Scott , keep me posted if you have anything I might need.---- sonny

Baryy Sutton is on the team.I don't know if he is still signing though.I have a 78 Sutton autographed somewhere around here.

yankeeno7 · June 4, 2011 11:43AM

Maybe we'll buy that from you Mike. Then we will put together that entire signed 78 Dodgers Team set and then we can sell it for 5x what it is worth to Geordie. We will make great profits on 78s.

Thank you for thinking of us, but we will be passing on that opportunity.

Gosh darn Giants trade another one away... I always remember hearing the announcer saying...Now batting ...# 11ENZO(one word) HERNANDEZ!!! Like he was a big hitter!!

MBMiller25 · January 20, 2012 7:52PM

Geordie, those are beauties! If I started buying 78's I would be in Alot of trouble. Love that set.

TNP777 · January 26, 2012 11:02AM

Today's mail.

I'm in trouble.

Now that I've got them in hand, I'm not all that impressed with the Hooton. When I did the Dodger set in 9, I didn't pay a single bit of attention to anything but the number on the flip - in a nutshell I bought the holder, not the card. As I look at the Hooton, it's got a noticeable tilt, and the edges look OPC-ish. Can a '78 expert weigh in on whether the Topps issue had a history of rough cuts? I'm wondering how this Hooton ended up in a 10 holder.

egads, what have I done?
