Picked this up with the 20% discount. Rare to see them centered this well.

The Ozzie really is well centered, I have one I really like but this one is much better!!!

Thanks. Been looking for awhile and this was the best I’ve seen in years. Any chance it could get bumped?

Chughes1

Best 7 I have seen and overpayed a bit but got the 15% off. Going in for a re-grade.

1951WheatiesPremium

Pretty pumped to continue to add the early Joe D stuff at reasonable prices...

1936 National Chicle Fine Pens - Joe DiMaggio Slams it...Erickson catching

slimies

great looking cards.. didnt pick any cards up in the last few days but found a signed Dave Dravecky book for 3.99 at goodwill

ssdawg77

Picked up a couple HOFER's for one my Heritage auto sets. The Robinson is pop1 with none higher and the Banks is a pop2 with 1 higher.

@slimies — put that in PSA’s “one armed autographed book” Master Set- you’ll have a leg up

lilmule

I picked this card up when e-bay had the 20% with the cap at $100 E-bay bucks. Been wanting one for awhile without the print lines. Thanks tax returns

hyperchipper09

Broke my rule Alworth/Roy rule , but had to get this. This is just a awesome RC of a generational talent from a difficult set. Satisfied doesn't begin to describe how happy I am to have this.

Stone193

Very, very Nice Mike!

I got a lot of Sammy Baugh items for 144 bucks - very happy

JackieMoon

Paul..... sweet Pops!!! Chipper09.... The 77 Dantley’s are notorious for centering issues and yours is splendid. It’s nice to see the card love.

“Everybody love Everybody” - Jackie Moon.

Arsenal83

Sorry for the lousy picture. I'll update it when in hand.

slum22

Just got these in. The Towns is an upgrade on a PSA 9 I have had as a place holder. The Jordans are all great additions to my growing 90's MJ collection. Hard to say which MJ I am more excited about. The Electrifying comes from one of the best looking inserts sets of the 90's. The Hooperstars is a die-cut and I love die-cuts, lol. I believe the MJ GU Warm Up Jersey is one of his earliest jersey cards and is a Pop 4 in the grade and serial numbered to /230.

brad31

Nice Yaz

mattyc_collection

Love that Fence Busters, too. And a colossal fan of 1986 Donruss, like many here. That set design is just outstanding.

Finally found a 1934 yellow Gehrig to replace one I instantly regretted selling years ago, lol.

yoda99

Really like that Gehrig card.

I normally shy away from cards that are off center and I usually don't purchase cards that are graded by a company other than PSA but I really liked this card and pulled the trigger this evening. It satisfies my need for a 1960 Mantle while taking advantage of the 15 percent ebay bucks deal.

PROMETHIUS88

Neat Ruth pick up today!!

PROMETHIUS88

Also picked up a couple unopened 70's baseball wax packs for grading. Couldn't come to terms on the 1974 cello pack, but I'm not giving up on it yet!

PROMETHIUS88

And finally some unopened 70's football wax!

WalkinDude

Picked this up during the last ebay 20 percent off special. Pretty nice 1960 Whitey Ford
card.

Odessafile

The Heritage sets are fun for their variety of variations....anybody seen any other "Player Sample" autos other than Andrew Benintendi's? Ive been looking but not finding....

ahopkins

^ Great looking Benny. The look in his eyes says confidence. I hope he's a legit player for a long time. Nice pickup.

Wish I knew, I had 2 of them. I was trying to sell one and eventually consigned it to LOTG, in which just ended last night.
It was the SGC 40/3 and was beautiful!! (lot#670) http://loveofthegameauctions.com/Beautiful_1934_Goudey__37_Lou_Gehrig__HOF____SGC_V-LOT14761.aspx
I recently added a T206 Red Cobb and still looking for a low-end 33 ruth goudey.

LarkinCollector

A couple recent Reds pickups. A big thanks to Mr. 1951WheatiesPremium for reaching out about the availability of the 1991 Nike Larkin.

Finally caught a Spring Training game last week while my dad was visiting and son was on spring break. I didn't expect Foster to be there since it was an "away" game for the Reds and didn't come prepared, but was happy with this one in his 8x10 selection.

BPorter26

Picked these two up the other day. I love the 75's, even though the Wilkes in a mid grade, the WIlkes card is super tough to find centered. The card does have some wax on the back of the card which knocked down the grade. ROY in 74 Barnes was a beast in ABA as well with Providence College.

Another Kareem today

Largentcollector

Super cards all around! I finally added a Ryan / Koosman RC.

Sweet looking Ryan. Congrats Tim well done.

Awesome Ryan for the grade.

Love the Rec-specs!

yoda99

I'm jealous of that Ryan rookie. It looks nicer than my 6.5. I don't have many basketball cards at all, but that Kareem would look nice in any collection.

I picked up a few 1954 Topps mid-level cards.

1951WheatiesPremium

Just scooped this one last night; looks to be a pretty decent example...

1956 Topps #31 Hank Aaron

Stone193

Really good looking card Yoda.

I don't know your first name?

The Mathews jumped out of the screen at me. Nice going.

I don't know your first name? - Micky or "The Mick" (Unlike Mantle or the mouse, I don't have an "e" in the spelling of my first name)

The Mathews jumped out of the screen at me. Nice going. - Thank You, it had the same effect on me.

Stone193

Thanx Micky.

You hit the jackpot on centering also.

Dand522612

Sold my PSA 8 with hopes to buy a 9 with decent centering. Could not find a 9 without major 70/30 centering issues one way or another. Got this one that has good centering, will it cross? Who knows maybe????? I kind of like how it presents in its current tomb. Maybe I just hold this one and keep my pursuit of a centered PSA 9 like the lost Ark of the covenant?

erikthredd

@Dand522612 that is a great looking MJ and i would definitely try crossing at least a couple times. Good luck!

Dand522612

@erikthredd Thanks, I think I have to try!!!

Stone193

I think it's sweet Dan.

Couldn't ya send it in with the holder with instructions not to touch it unless it'll cross?

Dand522612

I think I have to put a minimum grade and naturally that would be 9. That makes it tough on a cross as they can’t determine necessarily if it is that quality I believe they will just pass. Not a crack out candidate!! Don’t believe they will mess with the holder otherwise

1951WheatiesPremium

I feel like this is a good grab - more off center than I'd like but still a pretty decent looking card:

1955 Bowman #202 Mickey Mantle

yoda99

1951Wheaties - That Mantle is a good grab. The TV screen portion of the card looks very clean.

I picked up a couple of 1957 cards last night.

Thanks, man. Love that Frank Robinson.

As for that 1955 Bowman, there's a whole bunch of issues with them off the print line. This one has a nice clear image on the TV, good dark coloring and is centered enough to be fairly pleasing to the ee overall. The price pushed me over the edge.

Stone193

Hiya Tim

I agree - the Mantle's a nice pickup - the centering T/B doesn't bother me with this issue.

Are you going to send it in for grading?

Stone193

The Robinson is a sweet card Micky.

And really nice centering.

I think so, yes. I think it falls into the range of 3-5. I don't go to the loupe or card measure route when buying raw. Always just the naked eye at a reasonable price. Thanks for the look.

I sold many of my favorites last summer to help pay off my young sons broken arm repair. My wife was between jobs and she's the source of benefits. Bad timings and I wasn't doing loans. So, most of my favorites went. Reloading now.

I collect Mickey, Lou, Joe and George Herman...

You, Mike? Besides 63 Fleer?
