    This is a scan cropped down from the full page of 2003-04 Bowman Signature. They don't look as bad as that image makes it seem, lol.

    A few recent grades that just popped from the National. A little different than what i usually post, but a few finds from breaking boxes with Jr.

    KC, you guys must of ripped a ton to pull that many Judge's. Looks like it was a lot of fun. Hopefully we can rip some together with the kids next year.

    Funny thing is we did not rip that much. We opened the Heritage back in May I think before he went crazy and even knew who he was. We kept saying "why do we keep getting this Judge guy and not one of the big guys :)

    This just came in from BBCE. It has been a busy month.

    Very nice pack. Also, you need to charge your phone :)

    Thanks, iPhone 6 can't ever keep a charge. My kids keep stealing the chargers as well. Pop has been at 52 in an 8 with Jordan on back. Think August this thread can account for three of them.

    I received these two today. I now need 19 cards to finish the 63 Fleer set. With this Gibson I have 13 of the 20 1968 All Star cards in PSA 10.

    That is an impressive All-Star run of 68s!

    Hiya Dan and Joe

    I'm starting to get a bit of deja view with 2 of the same - very nice pickups! Congratulations.

    Picked up this '73 Clemente at the East Coast National yesterday. Corners seem perfect, looks like it would not be out of place in a 9 holder....

    Geez Dave - that's a sweet card - and yes - candidate for a bump.

    I did have a 63F Clemente 9 that I showed to cpamike at the National. He turned it around and there was a very slight chip of veneer on one of the corners - forgot to check the back - mine is right where it belongs.

    Mike--this Clemente doesn't have terrific back centering, but I have many 9s that don't. If that were a deal breaker, the 1973 #1 card would have zero 9s :)

    This was my first ever PreWar purchase; was sad when I sold it, and was happy when it surfaced for sale again!

    PaulMaul, sweet looking 73 Clemente definite bump candidate.

    Matty, congrats on re-landing that sweet looking Cobb.

    Hiya Chris

    Those are some really nice cards - "colorful" if ya know what I mean?

    I like rare items - I assume you picked them up on eBay? If you pulled some yourself? Even better!

    Nice pickup on the Contenders gold round numbers Brady RC auto. That card was actually in a GAI 9 holder that sold for back in February.

    If anyone happens to have a PSA 9 version of the Contenders gold round numbers Brady auto RC (pop 5) that they want to sell let me know.

    Robb - good catch on the GAI 9. I noticed that too when I was researching the card before bidding. Good luck and hope you land a 9 !!

    Tough card to find properly cut and decently centered...another 4SC needle in the haystack!

    The bowman card is definitely going in for a review. Under the loupe, there’s nothing wrong with it. Would be surprised if it didn’t get a bump to a 10.

    That PSA 7 Jeter has one of the cleaner surfaces I have ever seen for that issue.

    Thanks for the comment. Scoured eBay for weeks and followed tons of sales and was able to narrow down my options to 3-4 cards and then to two cards based on price and condition. Was able to get the same card in a 7 from 4SC for like $10 cheaper, and even cheaper from some other sellers. However, of the 3-4 I narrowed down, this one example was the cleanest looking, less worn cornered and I felt it was definitely worth the extra few dollars spent on it. In this case, I feel I definitely bought the actual card and not just the first cheap PSA 7 I came across.

    This is one of the cards where I think condition really really matters and one PSA graded example may not look like another even with the same grade. Definitely requires scrutiny and actual photos and not just scans when buying this kind of card.

    I didn't get a chance to get back to this thread.

    Was gonna say the same thing about that 7. It's the best I've seen.

    The surface - compared to many - is pristine - there's very "slight" edge ware on the upper corners from being a 9 IMO.

    Not sure why it doesn't deserve a chance for a bump to 7.5?

    I picked up this unsigned watercolor (acrylic?) Yogi - it's about 10x15" - detail's pretty good IMO. $39 on the artwork.

    Interesting how much this artwork resembles the photo on the 2003 UD MVP card of Berra - photo cropped:

    Also pulled this from a Chrome blaster today:

    I plan on sending it and another card in for a review. I know PSA is tough on this card though. I've seen some 7.5's that looked worse. Here are some real pics of the surface.

    So figured I'd bump the monthly pickup thread back to page one for the last few hours of the month. Here are 8 more for my 70s Sabres run.
