Here's something that gets little "love" here - the press pin.
What makes this one odd/rare is the cardboard backing - usually they come in a plastic box - alone.
This is the '53 WS Press Pin (Dieges & Clust) - Brooklyn really thought this was "their year" - only to lose in the WS 4-2 to the Yanks - Mantle was credited with a grand slam changing the "flow" of the series.
For those who like the more oddball from press pins, here's a '55 WS press pin original artwork by Balfour.
I was finally able to obtain a 1968 PSA graded card of Joe Namath. I wanted a PSA 8 and maybe someday I'll upgrade, but for now, I'll settle for this PSA 4. I have taken 2nd place multiple times trying to obtain the 8. Here is a comparison of the 8 i missed along with the 4 i obtained. The 8 went for $324 and i picked up the 4 for $32. You know what, I don't think the 4 is all that bad.
Sold almost all of my Randy Moss stuff...decided to change focus a little and get a few classic/iconic cards. The case for the Wilt is best to hell but sharp in person.
Looking for rare Randy Moss rookies and autos, as well as '97 PMG Red Football cards for my set.

Wow. Those are some nice pickups. Planning on crossing them over?

Thanks - that is the plan. I hope the Wilt gets an 8 - will see how they treat centering . The Mantle I would happy with a 3, delighted with a 3.5, and over ecstatic with a 4 (but don't see that happening - maybe if it was a common, but not with Mick).

Just got this today.

Just got this today!
Your eye for quality cards absolutely blows me away every time. Beautiful cards.
Holy crap, that '52 Haynes is so sweet!!!!!
Bought this at the RMU show in PGH, paid a bit over VCP but I think it's worth it:
Beautiful 52!
I keep love seeing that Beni Auto Mike.
That's a great looking Franky too!
It's been a good month for wacky die cuts!
Just got the Cobb; always wanted these two side by side since they had the same pose...
Sweet looking Cobb!!!
Really nice looking Cobb 3.
Thanx for the kind word guys on my 52T.

Another addition to my '52 Topps build. Always nice to get a decently centered High number.
Great cards all around.
I'm really liking those well centered 1952's.

Classic indeed! Congrats.

I didn't realize the 1968 football set was so beautiful. Nice Namath.
IT CAN'T BE A TRUE PLAYOFF UNLESS THE BIG TEN CHAMPIONS ARE INCLUDED

Congrats on a couple of iconic cards.
Good luck with the crossovers.

I'm a little late for May but I picked these up on ebay during May. I'm debating on which grader to send them too,PSA or BGS.
