Nice pickups and returns.

Dboneesq · January 10, 2013 12:08AM

WTG Mike ... that collection of yours is really getting amazing!

BPorter26 · January 10, 2013 12:20AM

Mike, I love the Dewey sigs, why no rookie? I really like the Namath signing it Joe "Willie"

cardsnbeads · January 10, 2013 5:40AM

Nice Howard Cassady and Eric Crouch. How did you get Cassady and Crouch. I tried Crouch 3 times ttm and nothing.

halosfan · January 10, 2013 5:58AM

Those AA cards are perfect for Autos.

+1 for a Dwight sighting

VitoCo1972 · January 10, 2013 7:55AM

<< Nice Howard Cassady and Eric Crouch. How did you get Cassady and Crouch. I tried Crouch 3 times ttm and nothing. >>

I sent both money. HA!

And Bobby, I have a Dwight Evans RC completed with all three already. I'm working on those Red Sox team sets.

VitoCo1972 · January 11, 2013 12:20PM

Here they are. Results speak for themselves!

ShootyBabitt · January 11, 2013 12:23PM

How is that Bing a PSA 1?

halosfan · January 11, 2013 12:23PM

Some really nice ones there ... Grrr to Cornbread!

VitoCo1972 · January 11, 2013 12:29PM

<< How is that Bing a PSA 1? >>

Pinhole - which I knew about.

VitoCo1972 · January 30, 2013 1:08PM

1987 Topps Pat Dodson (private signing)

cardsnbeads · February 9, 2013 6:12PM

Great stuff. The 1951 Topps Magic Janowicz is a beauty. Worth the $200 . I sent out a 1951 Topps Magic Babe Parilli to get authenticated. There is a couple notable names. How much did Cassady and Crouch want?

VitoCo1972 · February 13, 2013 5:33AM

Between the mail and going over to Riviera for the Northern Trust Open practice day yesterday, lots of stuff to post. Too much to type out piece by piece, but here are the pictures. I'll put all the golf tournament stuff at the end. Was stoked to finally get Jerry West on a RC at the tournament. And the Kershaw rookie came back TTM from a request I sent LAST Spring Training. Going to send it to PSA out of curiosity. The Bob Dee was an eBay purchase. I'm sending to PSA as well. I'm hopeful! Set Archie Griffin $25 and came back personalized. That was really annoying.

On the multi golf flags, I added Matt Kuchar to both Players Championship flags. Just missing Henrik Stenson on the nearly complete one. Euro Ryder Cup flag I added Peter Hanson, Luke Donald, Sergio Garcia, Lee Westwood and Nicolas Colsaerts

EAsports · February 13, 2013 10:01AM

Love the Rozier and the Sims.

Nice to see an LSU guy make an appearance. (Johnny Robinson)

VitoCo1972 · March 5, 2013 2:17PM

I let this stuff build up too long. Too much to list individually. Tried to sort by sport!

Dboneesq · March 5, 2013 11:59PM

Real nice Mike! AT least one of us is still sending out TTMs! I need to start up again.

cardsnbeads · March 6, 2013 3:25AM

Nice stuff especially the Jerry West rookie . They made some great hockey cards in the 1960's and 1970's .

GR · March 6, 2013 7:03AM

I dont know who, how, where you got the Ed Reed but having been in Westminster for my whole life and getting more Ed Reed signatures then I knew what to do with that wouldnt pass psa because they were rushed, thats definantly a good hurried up In person Ed reed. Very nice piece

VitoCo1972 · March 6, 2013 7:13AM

<< I dont know who, how, where you got the Ed Reed but having been in Westminster for my whole life and getting more Ed Reed signatures then I knew what to do with that wouldnt pass psa because they were rushed, thats definantly a good hurried up In person Ed reed. Very nice piece >>

GR · March 6, 2013 12:57PM

Hi Mike, I'm new to the forum and have enjoyed seeing all your great items in this thread.
I noticed about a year ago that you had a success through the mail with former NBA player BILL HEWITT. I have been needing his signature to complete a piece that I am putting together. Could you please help me with an address for him?
I really appreciate any help. If you want to email me directly, it is: jared72@netzero.com
Thanks for your time
Doug

VitoCo1972 · March 15, 2013 9:42AM

Quite frankly, this isn't a card I ever thought I'd own. And if it hadn't been for a very unexpected severance payment from one of the movies I was working on, I wouldn't have ever been able to afford it (all is well, I have other movies to do post production on - but I guess that's implied since I used the money to buy a freaking card).

Negotiated a deal over a couple weeks with a California dealer who was selling it on consignment. It's by far and away the priciest card in my collection - which has a lot of stuff in it but not a ton any really big money cards. And I'll probably be taking a few months off from sending stuff in for signings etc just so my nut on the hobby isn't stupidly high this year.

Without further adieu. Pop 2 and the other is Auth also. BTW, that's not a pinhole. It's some dust in the scanner. I'm probably going to send it in for number grading. I think it'd be a 6ST or a 4.

76collector · March 15, 2013 9:56AM

great pickup, congratulations. A really nice card.

halosfan · March 15, 2013 9:59AM

Fantastic pick up ...

Dboneesq · March 15, 2013 10:26AM

Real nice card Mike. Congrats.

thenavarro · March 15, 2013 12:30PM

Super sweet card!

Congrats on the pickup, that's a nice showpiece!!

Mike

initialD · March 15, 2013 12:48PM

BEAST!!! To be honest, I always liked the reprints but this one clearly takes the cake!!

Congrats on a real great pickup and it is good to hear your business is back on the boom

P.S. I got your stuff for the next signing

daddymc · March 15, 2013 1:27PM

Fantastic pickup Mike!

frankhardy · March 15, 2013 1:47PM

Yowsers!

rtimmer · March 16, 2013 1:36AM

Love that card! Nice grab

VitoCo1972 · March 16, 2013 2:42PM

Went down to Newport Beach today. As always, the guys on the Champions Tour are super nice. Only bummer was that Tom Watson was signing golf balls for the first time in 10+ years of collecting them and I didn't bring one. Was a shame but didn't let it ruin the day.

Also got a couple of Hockey HOF RCs back from signings - 1953 Parkhurst Harry Howell and 1951 Parkhurst Edgar LaPrade. Plus another 1968 Topps Glenn Hall from the same signing.

zurbs17 · March 16, 2013 4:39PM

VitoCo1972 · March 28, 2013 2:58PM

I'm gradually working on a Heisman rookies set (that's admittedly unfinishable) but a buddy of mine has a connection to a connection of Tim Tebow and was going to see him and asked if I needed anything done. So I sent in the rookie that's on the registry - 2010 Topps Chrome. Came out nice and I'm stoked!

Also have to sau thanks to my biddy Joe Bird who had promised to get John Hannah to sign this SI for me but he wound up paying for it at a signing and send it to me. Joe is a great guy!

Finally, I was so excited to pick up the Merlin Olsen 2005 Topps AA. It's the toughest of the attainable ones. I'll definitely get to 88/91 now. if only I could figure out a way to get Ed Marinaro to sign his!

FOOTBALL

Very nice additions to your collection.

cardsnbeads · March 29, 2013 7:31AM

Congratulations on the All Americans . Who is the one of the 3 other than Ed Marinaro and Ironhead Hayward. Is that 85 1969s with the Willie McCarter ?

VitoCo1972 · April 11, 2013 5:34PM

I had my father in law who lives a few minutes from Chantilly go for me. Wasn't very pleased with the way Dave signed it but what can you do. At least it's on there. Father in law said he told him he couldn't fit his signature in the space between Baylor and Bird. Oh well.

Now at 33/45 possible for me.

jswieton · May 21, 2013 6:48PM

Great stuff Mike, I love checking out your signed collection. I'm going to have to fire up the scanner one of these days.

DetroitSquirreL · May 21, 2013 7:10PM

I love signed items, very nice collection...

cardsnbeads · May 22, 2013 4:56AM

Rayfield Wright's signature is looking horrible. I bought a certified autograph of him recently in leaf and it looks slightly better than the rookie signed. He must have dementia or Parkinson's. He's only 67 years old. It looks like the Red Grange signatures right before he died. That is a great Mike Bossy too.

GR · May 22, 2013 9:09AM

Hes had a couple heart attacks, so thats the medical side of it, hes just very frail but mentally all there

VitoCo1972 · June 3, 2013 4:13PM

cardsnbeads · June 4, 2013 10:32AM

Great Curtis Martin 1995 SP and Bowman . I would have gone with Bowman's Best instead of Bowman. The signatures look great.

VitoCo1972 · June 13, 2013 1:23PM

Was pretty excited to be able to get a nice discount for the OScar Robertson/Joe Montana signing last weekend. Helped out a few SCN members too. Took advantage of the pricing and knocked out every Robertson card I could find. Wish I could have found a nice 1971 in time but oh well. Glad to add Montana to my 2005 All American set. Now at 81 out of a possible 90. I'm hopeful the Don McMahon is legit. Sending to PSA in the next group sub. And very excited to get the Chara rookie back today. I'm pretty sure it's good.
