Title really says it all. I enjoy looking at cards from this site but its like I have to go to the BST board to see what you guys have sometimes

Feel free to show off some of your stuff as I love seeing the variety that the members on this site have to offer.

Here are some of mine that I've acquired recently.

Wow, those are all awesome cards. I haven't picked up anything new in a while. Here is my latest one, shown off in a previous thread.

For those who might not know, those photo defects for Cater and especially Oliva are found on all versions of this card. Some sort of screw up early in the process I guess. i've seen many 9's and one 9.5 with photos that look exactly the same. I'm expecting a red flip sub to arrive Friday-ish. I've already posted pre-sub photos off all the cards except one. When I get them back I'll post a pic of the gorgeous Chris Carpenter.

Dnice,

Those are some jaw-dropping beauties. Anyone would be proud to own those.

itzagoner · March 11, 2014 7:51AM

Roger that.

LarkinCollector · March 11, 2014 7:53AM

Great idea and some sweet cards to start it off. My recent adds to the start of a Bobby Jones collection....

Great cards, all! Cool '64 Rose there, D. And holy $#&@ there, dawg, that's quite the haul!

Don't buy much lately as I'm saving myself to buy one specific card, but this one snuck into the collection last month...

Here are some from the only completed graded set I have...1956 Topps Football

This is the beginning of my next set...

Sorry if it is too many, I get carried away when I get to show them off. This is really the only avenue to show them off as none of my friends or family collect or care for the hobby.

otwcards · March 11, 2014 8:37AM

I like my vintage football, but sometimes I get a sweet tooth for something modern. Too much of a man-crush on Wheeler?

Now that he's a Met we'll allow it.

RipublicaninMass · March 11, 2014 8:41AM

Last one needed for the set

A needless apology, if ever there was one. Those are some fantastic cards. I truly enjoyed viewing them. Thanks a bunch.

Amazing cards, everyone.

DanBessette · March 11, 2014 8:49AM

It would be hard to pick my favorite Topps baseball set, but 1956 is probably the one.

Largentcollector · March 11, 2014 8:52AM

That 48 leaf Lujack just screams football! Nice card!

ToneD · March 11, 2014 8:56AM

Awesome cards everyone.

Chuck - that Williams is great. I can't wait to see what you are saving up for. I'm sure it's going to be a show stopper.

I love high grade 50's material but I was bitten by the pre-war bug a while ago. Back in 2000 I traded my whole collection of 50's issues of Mays, Williams, Aaron, Clemente and Koufax (no rookies) all graded 8's for a PSA 8 '33 Goudey Gehrig #92. I soon realized I could not afford to keep buying pre-war in PSA 8's so I decided to sell the Gehrig and pour that money into mid grade material with nice eye appeal. These are two cards I ended up acquiring with some of that money.

Now I find myself being drawn to cards with overall rarity. I'm now a full blown armpit collector. The majority of my recent acquisitions are 2's and 3's. Here are a couple examples.

The Coupon Mathewson has a total of 6 graded copies between both PSA and SGC. The highest being a 2. The Croft's Cocoa Wagner has around 11 copies PSA/SGC graded with an SGC 4 being the highest.

I did eventually replace that PSA 8 '33 Goudey Gehrig with an SGC 4 copy and couldn't be happier.

I love and respect high grade material. But for me, I learned a long time ago I could be just as happy with lower end grades.

Again, great cards everyone. And thanks for sharing them. I do love looking at what others collect.

Great cards guys. These threads are always fun. Here's some of my babies:

itzagoner · March 11, 2014 9:14AM

that Bo is overgraded.

ergoism · March 11, 2014 9:16AM

<< that Bo is overgraded. >>

No way. Must be the scan.

orioles93 · March 11, 2014 9:18AM

Heres some of my favorites.

Dnice · March 11, 2014 9:19AM

Holy crap! So YOU own that Ryan!!! Wow. I applaud you sir.

orioles93 · March 11, 2014 9:21AM

That Ryan is impressive. Very nice. Ill trade ya mine for yours straight up

Mintacular · March 11, 2014 9:39AM

That Brooks '57 is amazing....Just picked up this Mantle (no crease):

CNote · March 11, 2014 9:58AM

This thread needs some Jose Canseco cards

CNote · March 11, 2014 10:08AM

I didn't know I still had these scans- these were a couple favorites of mine. Originally BGS 8.5s purchased for less than $1000.

<< Holy crap! So YOU own that Ryan!!! Wow. I applaud you sir. >>

Thanks buddy

<< That Ryan is impressive. Very nice. Ill trade ya mine for yours straight up >>

I'll consider it if you throw in that 55 Clemente.

thenavarro · March 11, 2014 10:22AM

Here's my favorite "sports" piece. It's not "single signed" but displays as one.

Counselor · March 11, 2014 10:45AM

Impressive stuff guys. Today I received the last card I need to finish Basic Hank Aaron Registry. Also upgraded the 57 this week, ready to upgrade the others!!

bobbyw8469 · March 11, 2014 10:47AM

I picked this up.....I needed a Ruth....and it fits in with my "A" collection.

Sounds like a deal!

bobbyw8469 · March 11, 2014 10:53AM

That 1955 Clemente is a REALLLLLY nice card for the low technical grade. I see why they graded it a '1.5'.....should bring better than 1.5 money though.

<< That 1955 Clemente is a REALLLLLY nice card for the low technical grade. I see why they graded it a '1.5'.....should bring better than 1.5 money though. >>

Yeah, it is really nice. Theres a few little surface wrinkles on the front, but centering, color, and corners are both solid. If I were to sell, Id be looking for around 3 money.

thunderdan · March 11, 2014 10:57AM

Some great cards in this thread. Keep 'em coming. I have a couple of recent pickups I'm really excited about:

1975 Topps Mini George Brett RC PSA 10

1986 Fleer Michael Jordan RC PSA 10

1958 Topps Roger Maris RC PSA 9

MyDaughtersNameIsMattingly · March 11, 2014 11:20AM

Having fun working on the the T206 Highlanders subset. Trying to get each with a different back, but it's harder than it sounds!

DanBessette · March 11, 2014 12:12PM

The photo on the Pee Wee is AWESOME!

DanBessette · March 11, 2014 12:19PM

I've posted this one before. It's in terrible condition, but it's also pretty rare. 1933 Uncle Jack's Candy Jimmy Foxx. I've learned more about it lately. Uncle Jack's was a small Rhode Island company, so this was a pretty regional issue. Plus it came in 4 different colors, so only a portion were red. Foxx is the most expensive card in the set other than Ruth. This will be sent in for an "A" very soon.
