George Brett, Roger Clemens and Tommy Brady.
<< <i>I figured I would start doing a small Topps and maybe Bowman player collection of Mike Trout. No Chromes just basic Topps in Bowmans, I prefer the clean look over the shiny.

I added to my Trout player collection....

Nice!
<< <i>I found this group of T206 cards "in the wild" so to speak. Almost walked right by based on the condition/asking price assuming they were all common backs... I am glad I didn't and boy was I ever wrong! Easily my best "find" ever.
Nice find!!
My previous Clemente
My recent pickup
<< <i>Hey Bobby, that new one looks just as good as the previous one. Certainly digging it. I eventually need to pick me up one of those. >>
This was September but havent shared yet.
This is serial #'d out 5. However, the only BGS 9.5.
This is the newest addition I picked up today.
This is the logoman from his rookie year and is actually the true 1/1.
Here are two new pickups that I recently bought off eBay:
<< <i>t206 is an area I'm weak in..what makes them so much better than the other ones?...is there a huge price difference?.....i figure rarity, but id love to know a little of the history....although in regards to my bank account i probably shouldn't even start into these sets...some great looking cards here...i always love the 75s and personally the trouts
thanks >>
Some brand backs are worth more than others. Drum is one of the rarest/most valuable. Hey cardsfan73, congrats on the pick up _ I'd like to hear more. What do you mean by "in the wild"? Are you referring to the fact they're not slabbed?
I've been picking up random Brady and Manning cards and ho-hum cards for my sets so not a lot to share ...
When I came back to the hobby after a long hiatus one of the first cards I purchased at a collectibles shop was a 1998 Skybox E-X 2001 Peyton Destination Honolulu insert. Time passed and I came across PSA. That Manning was the first card I ever subbed. It came back a 4 with a large vertical crease on the reverse (still have the PSA 4). Anyway, I started to build that set this year and just picked up a cleaner example. Here it is:
Signed Sets:
2011 Topps Heritage BB
1960s & 1970s Topps decade Cincinnati Reds
2006-2016 A&G HOFers
I liked how clean the autos were.

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.
October arrivals. Purchased at the end of September using both a $20 off and the 5X they rolled out to close the quarter, plus several BOs, and I was able to put a big dent in the Basic Koufax set I'm working on.
Just need to find the right 65 and get my 62 and 63 graded. Also added another Clemente and am slowly plugging away at his Basic.
Happy to finally add a Cepeda RC. While he's not part of a set I collect, I did grow up in the Bay Area and had a big love for the Giants legends...even if I am a Dodger fan.
Got some more goodies on the way and almost ready for a 15 card sub.
As far as in the wild goes I spend a lot of my free time going to garage/yard sales, thrift stores, antique malls and antique shops. Besides collecting cards I also collect old records (primarily jazz records these days) and vintage video games.
I found these cards in antique/vintage shop that I usually don't frequent, typically all they have is furniture & home decore type of stuff. The only reason I had stopped by was to see if they had any old peach crates I could use to store my LP collection in. I just happened to see these three cards inside a Curio Cabinet that they were using to display a random assortment of trinkets. As I stated I almost walked right by when I saw the asking price and the condition assuming they were probably all common backs. I am glad I decided to go back in take a better look. The Sweet Caporal is a very common back, The Lundgren El Principe De Gales is a little less common (if I remember correctly of the 200+ graded by PSA about a dozen are EPDG backs) and the Charlie Starr Drum back is super rare. PSA has only graded 1 and it was Authentic, SGC has only graded 1 and it also graded authentic. I am hoping that mine can get a 1 or a 1.5.
This definitely makes up for all the hours I have spent hunting for treasures only to find boxes of 1988 Donruss.
Thanks,
Scott

That Dominique Wilkins is nice. Career in the shadow of MJ, but an all-time great scorer. Even played well after the achilles tear. Great signature, too.
With all these great hockey cards being posted, I keep getting an item to focus on a hockey set. I am rounding out my 86-87 Fleer collection, but I'll need something else to chase soon enough.
Keep posting more, please! I'll had more to add in a few days when I get my shipment.

The biggest lesson I've learned in this hobby, and in life, is that if you have a strong conviction, you owe it to yourself to see it through. Don't sell yourself, or your investments, short. Unless the facts change. Then sell it all.
felt this was a great addition to that 3some
<< <i>always loved this card and recently acquired my 1st 3 Bird/Magic rookies---PSA-9, 8 and 7
felt this was a great addition to that 3some >>
3 high grade copies, plus a triple auto? That's just greedy!
Here is one I just purchased. There is something about the 1962 Mars Attacks that gets me, even though it was before my time. To me this card "Prize Captive" is iconic and one I have really wanted.
3 new additions for my 74 Topps Red Sox team set. I wanted to do a PSA graded set with some red flip autos mixed in, but PSA won't let me combine signed and unsigned in one registry, so I went with a showcase instead. You'll see 7 unsigned graded cards, as well as red flip autos of Luis Tiant and Bernie Carbo. Not seen are signed cards of Tommy Harper and Rico Petrocelli that I need to send to PSA to get authenticated, graded, and added to my showcase.
have you contemplated requesting the 74 signed red flip set? i know they are adding basic player sets w/ a few already approved. i'm just waiting on them to be added...
just a thought.
<< <i>dan,

That's what I'm saying. They do an unsigned team set and a signed team set, but won't let u combine them, even though all the cards have a numerical grade. I'm not interested in completing a signed set.
<< <i> I'm not interested in completing a signed set. >>
well. well. just offering a different avenue of attack since you seemed mad/surprised they don't mix sets....
<< <i>A couple more that arrived the past two days. A signed RC I have been wanting to add, and as close to a playing day's issue as I'll get for a Hall of Famer.
Love the Buck Leonard!!
Vintage Rookies
<< <i>Man those 62 Clements are tough to find centered, that one looks sharp. >>
What he said; AWESOME card!
