Home Trading Cards & Memorabilia Forum

Feliz Pop-idad.

the past three months have been both difficult and ultimately rewarding for finding nice raw cards to grade.....a few of these have appeared in other threads prior to now, so i will tie it all up with a nice bow and share a handful of scans with some of my favorite n00bs for my collection.....the F. Robi RC was the topic of discussion several weeks ago and to those who called for a PSA 8, quite frankly, you were right! image

Happy Holidays and Happy Collecting everyone.

    I thought there were going to some super sweet Neftalli cards in here. No Neftali, but some super sweet cards nonetheless. Nice stuff!!

  • Your raw pickups make me weep they are so beautiful. i have to ask, if you are picking these up at shows, are you so advanced in what to look for when looking at raws that you dont come off as some OCD freak while looking at their cards standing at the table? lol

    i am a condition freek, i admit to that.....just looking for features which i find particularly pleasing in a vintage card.

    if i stick to a specific plan, the results seem to be better.

    i think the obsessive/compulsive part has diminished somewhat as i've learned how to better accept NOT acquiring similar cards under similar circumstances.

    i haven't attended a card show in many, many years. image

    Very nice. Did Frank and Brooks Robinson really choke up on their bats like that? I find that hard to believe considering they both were pretty good power hitters.

    that's a very interesting observation....i do remember playing youth baseball and being instructed to choke up on the bat to get the barrel through the zone a little quicker and hit the ball to the opposite field.....both players mentioned were guys i idolized as a kid, but i patterned my defensive game more after Brooksie than anything else.

    maybe my coaches were looking at those cards, though. including my Dad. image
