Great start for December!!

Jeff

Dboneesq · December 2, 2015 8:33PM

Wow, that card is CRISP!

galaxy27 · December 2, 2015 9:23PM

Plucked this Italian Golden Bear at the tail end of Nov while conducting SS duties. She flares a touch at the b/r, but I was so enamored with the frame job that I quickly found myself not caring.

Now if you'll kindly excuse me, I'm going to hop back on eBay and continue shopping for my recipient so I can buy more stuff for myself.

Congrats! I think that's my favorite early card of him, much preferred over the rookie in my eyes.

My two favorite players growing up. These two cards have been on my radar for a while but I have been focusing more on vintage. Glad to add the Griffey Jr. before his HOF summer.

thebaseballcardkid · December 3, 2015 12:50AM

The Mantle, the Nicklaus cards. Heck even the Donny Baseball and Ken Jr. cards. All great HOFers and all great cards. I can't choose. Thanks for posting.

fergie23 · December 3, 2015 4:27AM

Purchased in November but received today. Part of my HOF RC collection (Kobe is obviously a shoe-in for the basketball HOF).

PaulMaul · December 3, 2015 4:30AM

Picked this up at a recent show. I think this is the nicest 1971 card I've ever seen!

galaxy27 · December 3, 2015 4:36AM

Gracias! And I agree. Although I do need to snatch a spiffy Barratt.

The Mick, the Kid, the Donnie Baseball, the Black Mamba, the JJ..........all spectacular stuff, fellas.

Jack Nicklaus basic set was just launched today.

sbfinley · December 3, 2015 6:16AM

Really digging that Griffey and Donnie baseball. Not to take anything away from the Mantle or the Bear.

Here's a few more from November that arrived today

Ya'll come back now, ya here?

dberk12 · December 3, 2015 12:01PM

Not a big fan of refractor cards but the Kobe RC has always caught my eye. He is going to be a big loss for the NBA.

Have to agree with you PaulMaul, that is the nicest '71 Topps card.

SBFinley - That is how cards should be autographed. Not numbered with a million colors like the modern examples.

Rookiemonster - Great Phil card from the last year the Knicks won a championship. Any card of the guy who drafted Porzingis is valuable!

Love both of these cards. I just submitted an 84 Tiffany Strawberry, would love to get a Mattingly.

Great card.

DanBessette · December 3, 2015 10:50PM

The longer I collect, the more I fall in love with signed vintage cards. Finley, those are great! My fav is the 55 Wynn

Counselor · December 3, 2015 11:18PM

Dboneesq · December 3, 2015 11:39PM

Picked up 2 more cards to add to my T-206 subset of NY players. This brings my total to 31 different cards.

therookiemonster · December 4, 2015 12:28AM

Outstanding Aaron!

JBrules · December 4, 2015 2:34AM

Now that is a nice looking Aaron. Congrats.

Steve is a TERRIFIC seller!!

Doug, Schlei's glove is awesome on that card!

Dan ... Considering how small the gloves were back then, one would almost think that that glove was exaggerated just a bit!

sbfinley · December 4, 2015 3:00PM

Two more in today.

Indy78 · December 5, 2015 8:17AM

I picked these two Mantles up last month. I just love, love the 57 Mantle. I get that it's creased and worn, but there is just something about this card that grabs me. Perhaps it's the history of this particular example - it's most definitely been loved. What really strikes me is that the card is full of creases, but almost none of them pass through the image of Mantle himself. I passed on much better conditioned examples, because they just bored me. I had to have this one with all its character.

The 1968 Topps Game Mantle has always been a favorite of mine. This Ex-Mt example does the trick for me:

Thanks for allowing me to share.

Dboneesq · December 5, 2015 9:19AM

ALWAYS nice to see someone pick up a MICK. That '57 is a lot nice than many of the other "1's" that are out there.

therookiemonster · December 7, 2015 6:04AM

Peyton who?

sbfinley · December 7, 2015 11:05AM

Received these Sadaharu OH and Shigeo Nagashima Japanese HOF RC's to complete my 1959 Menko Doyusha Team Back Set.

LarkinCollector · December 7, 2015 11:07PM

A couple new World Golf HOF RCs...

Still need a back for the Locke, but this will do for now.

BaltimoreYankee · December 7, 2015 11:42PM

AC/DC fans are known as partiers so I thought it was funny that the 1982 ticket has "No pass out" printed on it.

Stewie · December 7, 2015 11:54PM

Counselor, I see your '66T and raise you one. ;-)

Nice need to get that one slabbed!

Stewie · December 8, 2015 1:50AM

No doubt, he will be joining that get-around-to-it pile with those other pictures of himself.

cree · December 8, 2015 2:46AM

My first SGC graded card.

Congrats, those 100s are really tough to get!

alifaxwa2 · December 8, 2015 9:50AM

Dboneesq · December 8, 2015 10:55AM

Chris - Congrats on the "100".

Jeff - Nice Griffey. Did you buy it like that or get it signed yourself?

alifaxwa2 · December 8, 2015 11:08AM

Ebay. Got it cheap because of the bad centering. Very pleased.

Dnice · December 10, 2015 11:11AM

December pick ups are off the chain. Love looking at the variety. Great stuff so far guys.

Marc

DanBessette · December 10, 2015 8:58PM

As mentioned in my Yaz thread, I was the recipient of a really generous Christmas present from charrigan. In addition to the Yaz pickups posted there, he sent these too.

Casey saw this and it reminded him of my avatar, so he got me this really nice copy. Big time upgrade for my set!

And this is a super addition for my growing hockey collection. When Casey landed his gorgeous high grade signed Clarke RC I mentioned that Clarke was my favorite non-Bruin of the 70's and it would be cool to own his autograph. Casey picked this up at the Toronto Expo and sent it my way.

All of it was very thoughtful. Thanks Casey!!

slum22 · December 11, 2015 9:06AM

As always, congrats to everybody on some sweet pickups. This is one of my favorite threads because I love seeing the variety of what everyone collects.

sbfinley--The Oh RC is awesome. Where did you pick that up? Does PSA grade it? I love the Ruben Sierra auto. 1987 Topps is one of my favorite designs and sets. It was the first baseball set I really started collecting. The Sierra card is a great looking card, second only to the Bo Jackson from that set in terms of aesthetics IMO.

Dan, congrats on the pickups. The Williams card is a great addition to your set. Big props to Casey for another great show of board generosity. Nice job Casey!

slum22 · December 13, 2015 5:28PM

I have been after this card for a very long time. TB centering is about perfect, I do wish the LR centering were a little better, registration and print look pretty good for this card IMO. Overall, for what I paid I am very happy and overall I am super stoked to finally get this in my collection. This is probably my last big addition for the year. If so, I am very happy to end the year with this card.

DanBessette · December 13, 2015 11:56PM

Steve, that's an awesome Brown! Definitely on my football Rushmore. Congrats!!

seebelow · December 14, 2015 1:31AM

great Brown...i def need to get one..so difficult to find a nice one...congrats

RynoandBo · December 14, 2015 10:03AM

Picked up a tough 90's insert for the Sandberg PC. This is a 1998 Metal PMG (Precious Metal Gem) numbered to 50.
