Man, this place is really pathetic lately. Threads that are over 24 hours old still on page one. 5 days into the month and no pickups thread. I guess I'll start one.
A little TTM success today, from an underrated QB and very quick! From northern New England to South Carolina and back in 7 days!

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.

ugaskidawg, nice score with the Yaz stamp panel. I just purchased a 69 Bench stamp for my Bench collection but has not arrived yet.
I did have a couple of Bench cards arrive yesterday for my collection. Happy to add my first graded Sportscaster card.

Picked this up from Steve and guys at BBCE
1964 Topps Stand-Up SP
Who is that inset photo in the top right? It would make sense to me if it was the manager, but it looks like Yaz. Does anybody know how Topps formatted these cards? Was the inset a star, captain, or manager?
Picked this one up today. Not a spectacular card, but I have a question about it.

#567 - Boston Red Sox/Red Sox Team Records
I always thought this team photo was a little off. First we have Yaz floating up there in a bubble like a religious icon and then we get that odd blue background that looks like it may have been added in after the photo was developed. Like the Cubbies, I would have thought Fenway – and the Green Monster specifically – would have made a great backdrop for the team card. But I guess the photographer thought otherwise. My guess is that the team is pretty well represented in the photo but it’s kind of hard to tell since it’s a bit blurry.

Doug, stop stealing my thunder buddy
Well, according to you, you only make 1 useful post every 3 years or so, lol..
Collecting 1970s Topps baseball wax, rack and cello packs, as well as PCGS graded Half Cents, Large Cents, Two Cent pieces and Three Cent Silver pieces.

There, now i'm good til 2019
Was really excited to pick this up last week from the fine folks at 707. Had an 8 a few years back that I (regrettably) sold and have been looking to acquire another ever since. Although a grade lower and more expensive than the one I owned before, this one absolutely thrashes that card in every way and might be one of the best looking Koufax rookies I've ever seen.

Was just confirming what you told Dan.

I could not find a 2013 Topps Heritage post to also add to.
Here are a few ebay bucks pick ups I got in at the end of this week:
BBCE had an auto'd version of my favorite card ever and I had to pick it up.
An addition to my Topps Rookie Cup catchers autos:
And a BMac collection addition:
Finally, a pick up for my HOF catchers collection:

As you guys know, Jason aka vintageinvestments is selling stuff to defray cost of an education - a worthy endeavor.
I picked up this Mantle to "companion" with an Exhibit Vending Machine Insert:
And the machine insert card:
Please consider looking at Jason's stuff - thanx.
Love the Yaz relic AUTO card!
Me too!
This was an impulse buy searching for other stuff. Steve had some game used bats listed in the Ebay store and had a couple from Texas Rangers fan favorite Rusty Greer. I went to the University of Montevallo in Alabama and Rusty was the hall monitor for my dorm hall freshman year and lived two doors down from me. He was a great guy and an amazing baseball player for U of M. He should have won the Rookie of the Year award in 1994 but Bob Hamelin got the nod.

cracked it out and sent it to PSA. Bam- 9.
I recently added another item to my Yaz master set...
1962 Salada Coin
Great stuff everyone. I love the Leaf Signatures Maddux. I've always wanted to do the Glavine/Smoltz/Maddux of that issue. It's been a good month of signed RC's for me. A handful more arrived today. I had the same Harper out for a spring training consignment, but it wasn't able to be completed so I just went ahead and snatched one up on eBay. I hit a BIN for the Story the morning of opening day for $4 and it never marked as shipped so I assumed I wouldn't ever receive it and bought another 5x that price that should arrive tomorrow. I can't complain. The Swanson I probably paid 10x more than I could get a signed Bowman a couple months from now as people start to graph him at games, but I really wanted to add him.
Hard to see, but Coates included "87" inscription
I added 5 cards to my T-206 NY Player Sub Set. This brings my total to 47 different cards.
