Lol maybe in a bit. I've only got 37 graded Yaz cards, but I've got 250-300 raw cards, plus a variety of autographed memorabilia. Also figurines, programs, posters, pennants......
But you're right. That would be a sweet photo. Maybe when I reach a milestone like 5000th post, or 100% on his basic Topps run, or something. Thanks for the idea.
Seems you would be a prime candidate for that Beckett monthly thing. They have it in the 4 sport monthly magazine if you haven't seen one. No idea though what they would say if you give them a pictures of a bunch of PSA cards though ?
Man, the hits keep on coming, and so too does the board generosity! Total surprise package arrived today from Jim (vintagefun). As I said to him privately, I don't know what I've ever done to deserve his continued generosity, but it is much appreciated. Jim also included something for each of my sons. I haven't unwrapped them (I'll let them do it), but they appear to be packs of cards. Very cool gesture. Here's the card he sent me
This is the first Donruss I've added to my Yaz basic set, which is pretty cool in itself. Thanks again Jim!
Jim is a great guy Dan. I had the pleasure of talking with him at last year's National. Extremely nice gesture Jim and great addition to your collection Dan.

Dan - I'm always happy to help out where I can and I have a tremendous amount of respect for you Master Set Collectors. This board has bestowed a lot of generosity my way, and while I can't always pay back those who have helped me, I can pay it forward where possible, with the hope that the cosmos will balance in the end.
Cheers to the continuing progress of your sets.
Thanks for sharing.

Well said Jim, this is what I try to do as well. When I can't pay back, I try to pay it forward in some way.
Liquidating my collection for the 3rd and final time. Time for others to enjoy what I have enjoyed over the last several decades. Money could be put to better use.
Saw this interview with Yaz's grandson and wasn't sure if you knew he is an above average prospect in the Orioles Farm system. Perhaps you may want to start collecting his cards as well:
IMF, yes, I did know about Yaz's grandson. I probably won't seek out a lot of his cards, but it would be cool to get a signed one. Maybe he has a Bowman Chrome?
OK, so the edited thread title is a little misleading. This latest addition isn't my first PSA 10, but IT IS my first YAZ 10. Very happy to get my first gem of my favorite player! Here it is:
Dan ... Congrats on your first YAZ "10". If his grandson does make it to the bigs, how awesome would it be for YAZ to watch his grandson play at Fenway? Yaz may be a Red Sox man, but I still am a fan of my fellow Long Islander!
STAY HEALTHY!

That card is Yaztastic! I remember pulling that card as a kid. There was a local convenience store literally 6 houses away from my friend's house. Him and I would take turns spending a week at a time at each other's house during summer break. I would buy pack after pack of 82 fleer from the store and have to hide them from the summer rains under my shirt while walking back to his house. Good times!
Nice looking Yaz pickup. A classic look of an all-time great Red Sox. 3000 thousands games and I wonder what he was thinking as he acknowledged the crowd. Congrats on your first Yaz. 10.
Put another significant dent in my Yaz basic Topps run:
Very happy with this one. While I'm always happy to add any item to the Yaz master set, I've been trying lately to emphasize his basic Topps run, especially the first half of it. This PSA 7 fits nicely, I think.

That's a really nice 79T - well centered.
I used to think that finding a well centered '79 was like pulling a diamond out'a goats ass.

Btw, Jim is a Cowboys fan. What did you expect other than ultimate coolness??

Very excited about this addition. This is now the oldest PSA 9 in my Yaz basic set, and one of the most valuable cards in my Yaz registry.
As always, thanks for looking.

How ironic is it to see Yaz play in front of a sparse crowd @ Fenway?
I bet it was raining.. everyone seems to be under the upperdeck in the background

<< <i>Looking good Dan. I believe that Yaz's son Mike was once a minor league player. >>
Yes he was. And Michael is Carl's middle name.
Edited to add: thanks for the kind words fellas!
I currently have 7 more yaz items at PSA, so hopefully there will be more additions soon.

I just wanted to show you a game by Pressman Corp. that you might like to add to your Yaz collection.
I bought this one on ebay some years ago - I waited till I found one with a fairly nice box.
Notice it has a really nice "fax" sign on the lower left. It would be nice to have him autograph the box on this one!
<< <i>That game is really cool, something I hadn't seen before. Were there playing cards with that game? >>
No Dan - this is strictly an action game.
The game also comes with Seaver and Maris (the first) and a generic version.

That's funny that they depict Yaz as a right handed hitter; were all the versions set up that way?

Forgot to mention, this makes 40 items in my master set. Looking forward to hitting the 50 mark!
