I didn't expect to have anything to share in this thread this month, but when this card became available I just couldn't pass on it. Thanks to BPorter26 for an excellent transaction.

Wow! I remember when Bobby first got this, congrats on the pick up.
I am very happy to add the Attles card since the #1 card is so tuff in PSA-8. The Wilt In Action card is a card I think will explode in price since his rookie card from the same set has gone nuts. The cards moved my '61 Fleer set to #9 current finest--a spot I never thought I would ever attain
Finally the Russell rookie is the last card I needed to complete my '57 set. That set now is at #13 current finest--another spot I never thought I would attain when I started the set 6 years ago. I could never afford a PSA-8 after the last sale at $33K--or even PSA-7--so this one is just a tad O/C and very welcome
The Yaz Bazooka box was bought years ago but just graded--it fills a hole in my #1 Yaz Master Set--now 14 cards short of completion
WOW guys ... real nice pick-ups lately! Enjoy them.
STAY HEALTHY!

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.

I think you have a good shot, let us know how you do.

First up is a gift from my buddy Dan Bessette. He knows I've been collecting the Topps rookie cup catcher cards and sent me this sweet Dietz Venezuelan for my collection! Thanks Dan! My first Vene and an awesome gesture.
Next is an addition to my Brian McCann collection. Scan doesn't do it justice since it's in the Topps uncirculated holder and that jacks up the scans. 2006 Brian McCann Etopps rookie card.

I've been looking for a centered Banks RC off and on for a few years so I was happy to add this one to my collection. I also liked the centering on the 56 Aaron so I threw a last second bid on it and added it my collection.

Thanks Jeff! I am glad you didn't see them when they were on Ebay. Of course, with my card collecting restlessness, there is a good chance I'll email you and you'll be the next owner when I decide to sell them in 6 months.
Went to the card show in Mansfield, Mass, today. Picked up a couple of things, but really I was there for the autograph guests. Got Rick Middleton's auto for Casey, and came away with this one for myself:
Pagliarulo was fascinated with the card. "Look at that!" Talked about how young he looks. "And look at those cleats! Those were soccer cleats." I think it's an interesting card with a nice auto. Fun, inexpensive little piece for the personal collection.

Picked up a tough 90's insert for the Sandberg PC. This is a 1998 Metal PMG (Precious Metal Gem) numbered to 50.
That's a beauty!
my pick up for dec 2015

Picked this card up at a show recently.
NICE! Are you going to get it graded?
Hey Joe, my response would involve a bear and the woods, but I don't want to get banned again.

Very nice '77 Brett!

Wow, your namesake card! Congrats!
Also like the '77 Brett posted.

It's an upgrade from the PSA 8OC that I pulled from a pack. That's available if anyone is interested.

I'll give it another shot. Thanks!
This arrived last week and I'm still trying to figure out why it graded a 2.5 and not a 3. No creases anywhere.
