Ray, your '59 Nellie Fox is a super card...wow!

bishop · December 1, 2016 12:18PM

Fox struck out only 216 times in almost 10,000 at bats. In 1959 he was doing his imitation of The Thinker

mariner · December 15, 2016 8:14AM

LOL.....you are right, Al!

mariner · December 31, 2016 10:57AM

bumping this thread up....I need to post some more scans... :-)

Happy New Year everyone!

mariner · January 3, 2017 8:36PM

This is a new add to my set and I am REALLY happy with this Aaron All-Star. It is beautiful.

GDM67 · January 3, 2017 11:47PM

I love that card, so much. Both in general and this example.

bobsbbcards · January 4, 2017 7:27AM

Suhweet card, Mr. Mariner. Too bad it isn't of anyone famous.

mariner · January 9, 2017 9:04PM

Thanks, guys!

Another primo version of one of the great cards in the set.

mariner · January 26, 2017 3:11PM

Just got this one recently and very happy with it.

bishop · January 30, 2017 7:29PM

Charlie Maxwell is still with us and living in Paw Paw, Michigan. Paw Paw was also one of his several nicknames

Also, if you rearrange the letters to Pitchers Beware, you get "Paw is beer retch." Coincidence?

bishop · February 1, 2017 12:51PM

I think not

mariner · February 3, 2017 2:49PM

Bob, cannot sneak a thing by you! lol

Oh my!! 4 beautiful cars!! No, I guess I should say gorgeous. The 59 set used to be my 5th like set, but seeing these cards shoots it up. Thanks for sharing guys.

mariner · February 18, 2017 3:19PM

Thanks! A few more recent additions.....

Those are some sweet cards!!!

Thanks, Donato!

Nice cards. Are you trying for all 9s or just the best available? Not sure if you need the Mantle All Star but I have one available.

Have not had too many opportunities to pick up 1959's lately, but this one I got this week....very happy with it and it is a tough card!

Robby · April 26, 2017 10:28AM

Gorgeous Card !

bishop · April 28, 2017 12:23PM

Owens had his best year in 1959, 12-12 with a very bad team. Still with us at 83.

There is a 102 year old guy on our ship currently

Is he sitting next to your wife?

mariner · April 30, 2017 7:35AM

Funny! I knew that Bob would have a comeback on that comment.

Another new one for my set...

bishop · May 2, 2017 10:16AM

Listen to me, in Gibraltar we saw a 36 year old monkey. That is 107 in human years. She eats Rice Krispies and a shot of bourbon every day

bishop · May 2, 2017 10:23AM

And Dick is still with us at 81, and was All Star in 1960. Those 59 All Stars were great, but mostly busts

Do Rice Krispies make the same snap, crackle, pop sounds with bourbon as they do with milk?

Griffins · May 4, 2017 11:56PM

Hey Don, get any new cards for this set lately?

mariner · May 5, 2017 3:01PM

LOL.....why yes, I do Anthony!

When I get the new one, I will post it.

mariner · May 20, 2017 3:18PM

OK, Anthony.....as you requested, here it is! To say that I am happy is the major understatement of the year. This card bumped in PSA review from PSA 9 to PSA 10....pop 1, the one and only!

bobsbbcards · May 20, 2017 3:58PM

Yikes, that card is a beast. Congrats, Don.

Robby · May 21, 2017 6:59AM

Don ................So I'm curious as to what your success rate has been in getting bumps in grade ...........was this
your only card that you submitted ????? That Aaron has perfect centering front and back !
Robbie

bishop · May 21, 2017 12:44PM

Wow

divecchia · May 23, 2017 10:30AM

Wow, Don!!!

Nice score on the Aaron bump. She is a beauty and deserving of the bump.

Donato

GDM67 · May 24, 2017 5:54PM

Wow, indeed. A truly incredible specimen of a tremendous card.

mariner · May 27, 2017 2:10PM

Thanks, everyone!

Robbie....my last group was 16 cards and I got three 10's from bumps......keep in mind though that I examine the cards in the holders very closely and only submit ones that I think have a chance at a bump. Still, 3 PSA 10's out of 16 cards is pretty awesome!

Here is the next one.....I will play this out slow and post the third one soon.

This Philley card is a tough card and tough in a 9.....I am thrilled that mine hit the 10 jackpot!

Robby · May 28, 2017 9:32AM

Beautiful card Don ........the black background and Dave's name in white just make that card Pop out !!!!!!!!
I had not heard of Philley before and looked up his playing days ...........seems he had a long career from 1941 to 1962 .......I thought it was really neat that his last name matched the Teams nickname .........played for the Philadelphia Phillies from 1958 to 1960 and earlier in his career played for the Philadelphia Athletics from 1951 to 1953 ...........I can just imagine how cool it must have been for a radio broadcaster back then to say " Now batting Dave Philley for the Phillies " ! Might be the only player in the history of the game to match his last name with the team's name !
Robbie
P S ...........Can't wait to see your other 10

Robby · May 28, 2017 8:48PM

Hi Bob ......................I did say ' Might Be " .......................I think this would be a interesting topic in and of
itself, !

I agree!!! I immediately started thinking about every team name/player name combination I could. Most were easy--I couldn't think of anyone named Randy Red Sox, Dave Highlander, or Steve Yankee, but Brown was "low hanging fruit." Brewer seemed like the next most obvious, but no dice. I'll be interested to see if there are any others.

bishop · May 29, 2017 7:57AM

I mentioned this when Don posted Dave as a 9, he still hold a major league record, which is.....

bishop · May 29, 2017 7:59AM
