cincyredlegs · May 31, 2015 8:27PM

Alright fellas, the 1st of the month already. May had some great additions to everyone's collection. Let's see if June will be better.

Let's see what you got!!!!!!

I'll bat leadoff this month and let you guys see what kind of stuff the opposing pitcher has.

Clearly this acquisition did not take place in June. That would be rather remarkable, seeing as we're a little over seven hours in here in TX. My postman is good, but he's not that damn good. This purchase took place at the tail end of May, but I decided to circumvent the rules a touch and include it in this month's thread.

Beyond stoked to add this 78 cello to my pigskin FASC run. At this late stage of the sealed-case game, I feel very fortunate to reel anything in from the 70s.

Have a great day/week/month all!

hyperchipper09 · May 31, 2015 11:24PM

Non sports, not PSA, late May, circumventing "June" yada yada but major part of my overall card/comic collection and explains why I'm somewhat MIA from cards for a bit

Nice! Since comics qualify....

totallyradd · June 1, 2015 1:24AM

For you comic guys, once they are graded, are they slabbed so you can never read them again? To me that makes sense since each time they are opened the value can decrease, but obviously the idea of comics is to read them. (This may be a similar debate to unopened vs opened packs)

PaulMaul · June 1, 2015 1:58AM

Yeah, for the comics I'm interested in I have beat up reader copies which can be had for a dollar apiece. I do see it as similar to buying a wrapped box, because you're taking the grader/encapsulator's word that the interior is as it should be.

technically a may pick up, but arrived today. just liked the aesthetics of this tobacco card:

jmaciu · June 1, 2015 8:31AM

Great start to the June thread. I love the comics.

These 2 arrived today, so I will include them in June. I loved the eye appeal. The Aaron is so tough to find centered. I give up trying to remove the dust:

Counselor · June 1, 2015 8:42AM

Sweet 65s!

cincyredlegs · June 1, 2015 9:29AM

Great cards (and comics) so far. Here is a few of my pick-up's. First up is three T213-2's (same poses as T206's but a bit more conditioned sensitive).

Also picked up a 52 Cincy Bobby Adams. Love the centering. Has a crease down the length of the card next to his ear. Can really see it when you hold it to the light but I am OK with it.

DanBessette · June 1, 2015 10:33AM

<< Sweet 65s! >>

Darn tootin'!

JudgeIto · June 1, 2015 10:40AM

Great stuff guys, always enjoy seeing what people are adding to their collections.

Here's what showed up in my mail today.

slum22 · June 1, 2015 1:32PM

I have been quiet picking things up lately. No purchases in about 3 weeks. These came today courtesy of the Blue Flip group sub. Big thanks to Derrick for running a great group sub. These are my first PSA/DNA cards. I couldn't be happier to add them to the collection. They look great in hand. My plan is to hopefully add Bird and Erving when they have future signings.

heritage · June 1, 2015 1:37PM

Darn tootin'!

Dan you did not bust this out... lol I have not heard that in years.

PSASAP · June 1, 2015 4:25PM

It's not here yet, but I should have it by next week:

Largentcollector · June 1, 2015 10:52PM

Great additions so far, the melting baseball card of Bryant is cool.

Steve sweet cards, are you going for a signed set to go along with your 61 fleer set? Or adding some signed HOF BSK rookies to your collection?

Here are mine they came in yesterday, I started to work on another set (I'm working on to many already so what the heck). I'll be going after this set in the 5-6 range, the set has 50 cards in it and I'll buy a reprint of the Graziano to complete the set I guess.

flatfoot816 · June 2, 2015 12:41AM

is this thread limited to cards? If not--here is what late May brought me--my dream car--Audi A-6--2016. Promised when I was done paying for my daughter's college education (NYU Tisch School of the Arts) I would buy my car

though not cards--I did sell $10K worth of vintage packs to finance the downpayment

burke23 · June 2, 2015 12:50AM

Sorry for the modern, but this was a huge white whale for my Moss PC.

ThoseBackPages · June 2, 2015 1:24AM

Manny WINS!

/thread

lol

BaltimoreYankee · June 2, 2015 1:27AM

I think flatfoot wins so far

Edited to add: I just saw TBP beat me to it!

PMKAY · June 2, 2015 6:53AM

Addition to my Seinfeld collection

mattyc_collection · June 2, 2015 9:58AM

Strong month so far and it's only the 2nd!

Very hard to find 65s like that Aaron so nicely squared up.

I've always passed on the 79 Ozzie because the bottom banner always seems tilted. But not on this one. The Clemente was my ideal example even though the centering is not dead on-- wanted very low grade with centering and focus, as too many look blurry to me in places. It seems that with the 55 Roberto, the low grade ones are always wrecked and the high grade ones are too pricey and still usually have some tilt. Was pleased to finally spot a low-end one that looked nice.

baz518 · June 2, 2015 10:33AM

Love that Ozzie, one centered like that is always a beautiful thing. Nice pick ups all around... really like the 78 FASC cello box too!

begsu1013 · June 2, 2015 10:39AM

<< Addition to my Seinfeld collection >>

hysterical!

jmaciu · June 2, 2015 10:50AM

Steve, I really like the Baylor and Magic auto cards. Good luck getting the Bird and Dr. J autos.

Mark, the 1952 Adams has superb eye appeal. Nice job!!!

Matt, I would love to own an Ozzie RC and Clemente RC are just like ones I want someday own. The 79 Smith is nearly impossible to find without the banner tilt.

yankeesman · June 2, 2015 11:48AM

I got a couple of additions to my McCann collection in the mail today. I really like the look of the Tier One autos.

This one's on its way to Newport Beach with my next renewal sub

PaulMaul · June 2, 2015 10:08PM

<< The 79 Smith is nearly impossible to find without the banner tilt. >>

I think it is impossible if the card is cut perfectly squarely. The best you can hope for is what seems to have happened here, that the bottom edge of the card is cut slightly uphill (parallel to the banner) so that it doesn't appear tilted.

ga4213 · June 2, 2015 10:57PM

Picked up a Jerry Royster rookie

begsu1013 · June 3, 2015 12:03AM

wash out is from scanner.

andy devine:

MantleFan23 · June 3, 2015 2:21AM

Awesome pickups guys!

Here are a few of my 56 topps set additions so far this month. The brady put me over 25% completion.

Carew29 · June 3, 2015 3:44AM

<< 3 golfing beauties!! >>

Very nice!

begsu1013 · June 3, 2015 4:41AM

+1 on the golf cards.

vintagefun · June 3, 2015 4:45AM

Those golf cards are cool.

The 56s are real nice. Great centering. Looks like PSA missed a decimal on the 7.5

Lovin this monthly thread.

begsu1013 · June 3, 2015 4:46AM

I think it's his scanner. does it to mine every so often...

ga4213 · June 4, 2015 7:06AM

Also picked up this nifty Chipper Jones 1993 SP ... only 12 of these exist as of today
and first one I've seen with the new hologram

begsu1013 · June 4, 2015 7:11AM

cortez the killer:

88 houston show set oddballs. these things are tough...

CharleyBrown · June 4, 2015 8:02AM

Picked this up from a fellow board member!

Dboneesq · June 4, 2015 9:30AM

Picked up a few lower valued Mantles to add to my collection.

The coins do not scan very well ... they look MUCH nicer in hand.

MrNearMint · June 4, 2015 9:53AM

<< Sorry for the modern, but this was a huge white whale for my Moss PC.

That randy moss pmg is SWEET! I find it odd but cool that he's a college uniform on the card.

halosfan · June 4, 2015 9:54AM

Love the Moss

DanBessette · June 4, 2015 11:36AM

Doug, that's a sweet haul of the Mick! I especially like the matchbook cover. You gotta get that slabbed! Awesome stuff, thanks for sharing.

Dboneesq · June 4, 2015 11:53AM

Thanks Dan. I have another version of the matchbook coming next week. I want to get them both slabbed. I know SGC slabs them, but I'm not sure about PSA. They look real nice in the SGC slab.

pdub1819 · June 4, 2015 1:20PM

Added three new cards to my 1956 Topps Presidents set:

Waiting for an upgrade to my Clemente collection…should be getting that in the mail tomorrow.

elsnorto · June 4, 2015 2:44PM

Pete, you have zero to apologize for with that Moss PMG rookie! Modern understandably doesn't get as much press as vintage does on these boards, but there are quite a few 90's insert collectors here... myself very much included. By the way, how far along are you on your 1997 Metal PMG set?

Doug, I love that Mick matchbook too... I'm a sucker for the oddball stuff and Mantle certainly has quite a bit of that out there.

Snorto~

jmaciu · June 4, 2015 7:10PM

The Presidents' cards are cool.
Doug, I always love seeing your Mantle additions. I agree that the Matchbook is awesome.

begsu1013 · June 5, 2015 3:14AM

Venezuelan Bobby Cox:

and a few oddball tobacco cards:

LarkinCollector · June 5, 2015 3:20AM

<< and a few oddball tobacco cards: >>

Love all the oddball tobaccos you've been posting this month and last! Are you just picking up whatever looks interesting or do you have a theme? The smoking Turk and Cortez cards are pretty sweet.

begsu1013 · June 5, 2015 3:27AM

thanks lc,

I actually thought about starting my own thread and posting recent pick ups as well as some of the older purchases. there really is no rhyme or reason, i don't intend to get them graded or compete on any registry. it's solely for the love of collecting.

and considering their age, creases don't matter, rounded corners don't matter, simply eye appeal to me. the subject matter really takes me all over the map. it's a fun lil side project that I've been enjoying for the past couple of months. best part is that try to stay under $10 - $20 per card, but honestly most of them are only like a buck or two....it's fun!

I do the same with anything remotely related to golf for tobaccos and oddball. I had a $5 threshold for any non-player related cards when I started and was able to get most all that I have for less than that and I agree... it's a blast! I need to start a thread for those as well. Maybe you could keep some interest in the non-sports forum with a regularly updated thread of random tobacco pickups?

June Pick-Up's....Let's see what you got!!!!
