I added on the Spahn game.
And - I added a better centered card to my 63F set - not 50/50 - more like 45/55 - I've found that #9 Herbert is tough to find perfectly centered - tho I continue to hunt!
And last...
The Hypnotic Eye - 1960
Starring Jacques Bergerac, Allison Hayes and Marcia Henderson.
Storyline:
The city is stricken by a wave of self-mutilations performed by beautiful women who seem to be in a hypnotic trance. The authorities suspect a stage hypnotist with a popular act, but the stakes are raised when the hypnotist sets his sights on the girlfriend of the detective investigating the case. What is the hypnotist's secret, and why does it seem to involve his beautiful assistant?
What's cool about these very campy movies is the budget - $365,000. They probably spent more than that on catering for a current movie!
And - note - the 50 Ft. woman - Allison Hayes is also in this one!

Recent pickups from board members. Finally got a decent '52 Billy Loes card thanks to WinPitcher Steve who offered me a chance a year ago until I finally came around and bought it. Thanks Steve. Bought the Griffey from Scott, ScottieC for my cousin who got his stolen from his Upper Deck set many years ago, so I'll pass this on to him. Thanks Scott. Got the Russell Wilson card from Shagrotn77, Andy because it was cool. Thanks Andy
Thanks Mike & Mike not to be confused with Mike and Mike. The '52 set is coming along, my wife got me a PSA7 Joe Collins for Christmas and I bought a high number Jim Turner PSA6 in January. The Turner set me back a few bucks so I'm slowing down and will submit
15 '52s I have ready to go for my CC renewel next month. I probably have about 80 ready for grading but will take that slow. I've had most of those since the 80's so why rush now right? LOL. Thanks again. Doug

I'll refer to myself as young Mike.
Yeah, those high numbers go for a nice chunk of change. Good luck on the graded and looking forward to seeing them once they return from sunny California.

Collecting: Any unopened Baseball cello and rack packs and boxes from the 1970's and early 1980s.
I bought this lot because of one of the 4 autographs therein: Hans Zinsser. He's one of the most famous people in microbiology/bacteriology - he identified the species of bacteria that cause typhus and created the first vaccine for that disease. He also died in 1940, so this is not an easy autograph to come by.
Was out of town but just got back a little over an hr ago and this was in my mailbox. Very happy to add this one to my Canseco collection. Not expensive by any means but I will send this off to PSA in due time.
I got this game and it's in Spanish - not sure where? Most like south of the border - Mexico.
Home Baseball Con Dados - 1961
The instructions are in Spanish - and my Espanol is good enough to get my face slapped in two languages.
The playing field and instrucciones:
The game doesn't appear to ever been played since the players are still attached.
Estan tres dados - 3 dice - which really adds to the mechanism of play.
When I have some time - I'll work out the play before putting it on the shelf for future display.
I have no idea where the game was manufactured - couldn't find it listed anywhere. Will be heading over to the BB game forum for advice - some of you may know Butch from net54 - occasional posts - those guys are incredible!
About 2 weeks ago I happened to get 07/20 from the 2012 Leaf Memories BuyBack series unsigned. Then a few days ago I purchased this one but the signed version. Also happens to be 07/33. I thought that was pretty cool. Arrived in the mail today and I'm proud
Sharing the same alma mater and having met him a few times, I was rather stoked to acquire this '79 rack with Wilbert Montgomery on top. Arguably just as gratifying is the fact that I located it the completeds on eBay, made a pitch to a fella who didn't know me from Adam, and shortly thereafter received an exemplary reply that said, "I think it belongs in your collection, not mine."
Just received my LOTG auction winner in the mail today. Gotta love adding any Walter Johnson card to the Senators/Twins collection!

<< <i>So I bought this card just shy of $60. Even though it is not on my radar as a purchase, I felt it was a good buy. Whats his HOF prospects you think?

I posted it in the Hockey Pick Up Thread too, but I am so stoked about it I had to post here also.

Happy Easter.
I enjoy the variety of items being enjoyed here.
Thanks for sharing everyone!

That's a really nice Jeter.
My son pulled one from a few packs back in '92. I didn't like the set - thought there was way too much chipping and scratches.
A genuine 6 right out of the pack!
Thanx for sharing.
