Just arrived. Bit of a gruff old codger, but glad to finally have his RC in my collection. Next up is a 1939 World in Arms Trotsky RC. Am looking to not pay shipping and get it shipped in a Staples branded bubble mailer.

    Dan ... AWESOME looking card. Congrats.

    I think the only negative thing you can say about the card is that dark round spot on his right cheek; the white spots to the left and top of the "W" in Willie and some spotting on his arm and the black bottom border.

    The condition is amazing. Looks like it was just ripped from a pack.
    STAY HEALTHY!

    I wish, Scott, but a 9 is way outta my league.

    Edited to add: thanks for all the compliments guys. i really do enjoy the thrill of the hunt for cards like this.

    Guys, did you happen to write the sentence in English to see how IT translates?

    I don't doubt that the Russian sentence translates the way you claim. In fact I know it does, hence my saying 'Blame Bing'


    Ницца Карта капиталистической свиньи. From English to Russian. (Nice card you capitalistic pig)

    Awesome card Thunderdan!

    The only way I know how to diagnose the importance of a card like this is price and this is an expensive card.

    I am sure any baseball card collector would love to add this to their collection and congratulations this must feel great to add this to your other super high end baseball cards.

  • WinPitcherWinPitcher Posts: 27,726 ✭✭✭
    Lastly since I'm in line and sinker, somehow, you copied- pasted 'kapma' which means karma in Russian.

    Now I'd appreciate you throw me back in, and I'll hit the sidelines.



    And no I do not know how 'karma' translates from English to Russian only how 'kapma' translates from
    Russian to English, at least according to Bing.

    I would consider it the greatest moment in my card collecting life to own something like that 1951 Bowman PSA 8 Mays at the beginning of this thread. That beautiful 1959 PSA 10 Mays Catch is a heck of a card as well. Nice Willies, congrats!

    Give the guy a break man! Anyone who can actually afford to collect cards from the 50s/60s in any grade is very lucky in my book. image

    And I'm pretty sure even 8's don't come cheap from that era either...

    Nice card. What did you pay in shipping and was it shipped within 24 hours? Was there shill bidding in the auction? Did the seller leave feedback? I just need to make sure of these things to determine whether or not it was a successful transaction.
