    I need a card of Stan Musial. I like to have at least one card of the greatest players. Been looking, but just haven't found it yet. That's a really nice Wheaties Photo you have there. Congrats from me also.

    The true Yogi rookie. PSA doesn't grade these. SGC has only graded 29 and there are only 5 higher.

    Nothing more satisfying to me than upgrading a card in my sets. Got this fella today, adding to my '52 set. Doug

    That's a beauty of a 6. The color and white borders make it look like it came out of a pack yesterday. Nice pickup.

    I've been out of town working for the last few weeks. I haven't bought much lately but the 61 Spahn AS is one I've been looking for for a while. It completes my PSA 9 1961 Topps All Star subset. It also completes my 1960s All Star subsets.

    Today marks the culmination of a project that commenced over four years ago. 79T FB has always been and will forever be my jam, so I was bound and determined long ago to piece together the best possible rack box I could. The 24th and, therefore, most elusive rack was one with the Payton/Campbell RL card showing on top. Prior to last week, I had seen a grand total of two since 2013. Each time I was viciously blown to smithereens by an even heftier s-bomb. The third stab proved to be the ultimate charm, as I finally walked away victorious for less than half of what I was willing to pay the first time one appeared on the open market. (Note: Do not ever end listings on a Friday night.) Very clean specimen, no loader ding dongs on the money card, and a bonus nugget with a third famer hugging the header. Couldn't have asked for a better ending.

    Incredible rack and box. Just out of curiosity, are you going to remove the price stickers off the racks that have them?

    I didn't have a Stan Musial card and I didn't have any Red Heart cards, so I killed 2 birds with one stone.

    many thanks gents, it was a fun odyssey

    Brian - i'm a sucker for character features that enhance the provenance factor, so to answer your question, definitely remaining affixed. besides the Payton rack i have two others with the original price sticker, and i wish they all did!

    Love that football rack box.

    Much like TheMick's Musial, I wanted a Cobb red portrait and a T213 so two birds with one stone. My budget only allows for the Black & Decker version.

    I love the 1925 Exhibit Gehrig and that's definitely his rookie but as a whole I'm not much of an Exhibit fan. So other than Exhibits and strip cards the next Gehrig cards are the '27 York Caramels and the '28 ice cream cards (Harrington's, Sweetman, Yuengling's, Tharp's). Only 14 total graded of these Tharp's (7 in PSA and 7 in SGC). I'm happy with my meager PSA 1. The late-20s Gehrig cards don't seem to get much love from the hobby.

    Who doesn't love some sweet Lou? After nabbing a beautiful 'poor' copy last month, I splurged on a nicer one. I know they're not altogether impossible to find but I haven't seen many nicer and had to pull the trigger...

    Get er done! As the cable guy would say. Just one card short of finishing the Johnny Unitas basic set. Just need a 1974 Unitas. My set is number 9 on the registry. This Unitas RC came in the mail last week.

    No way! That's as cool as anything in the thread! Great color, great set, great player! He's part of of a rare baseball oddity; Ted Williams won two Triple Crown's - '42 and '47. He was the MVP in neither season, losing in 1947 to Joe DiMaggio and in 1942 to Joe Gordon. If you think it's crazy that a Triple Crown winner didn't win MVP, its actually happened one other time when Lou Gehrig lost out on the MVP to Carl Hubbell way back in 1933.

    Ted Williams also didn't win the MVP in 1941 when he hit .406, losing to DiMaggio, who had a 56 game hitting streak.
    Williams even had a higher batting avg. than DiMaggio during his 56 game hitting streak.
    Hard to outhit a guy who got at least one hit for 56 straight games, but Ted did it.

    The biggest lesson I've learned in this hobby, and in life, is that if you have a strong conviction, you owe it to yourself to see it through. Don't sell yourself, or your investments, short. Unless the facts change. Then sell it all.

    Just got these back from PSA. Is it safe to assume it is a pretty tough back to back Gem Mint on this card?

    Any type of premium for selling these together?

    I just love finding vintage graded cards for 20 bucks or less, and in the last year, I realized that this where I get the most satisfaction out of card collecting. No worries about falling prices or any other such headaches. It's just plain old fun for me. Case in point are these two. The Carew was on consignment at my LCS (i.e., local card shop) for 10 bucks. The 57 Reese was an eBay find for 20 bucks.

    Nice eye on that Magic pack! I often don't get to rip all the packs I want to from Steve because there's stars showing. It's a nice problem to have.

    That Banks is lights out! If there isn't something that doesn't show up in the scan you have to be thinking about cracking and resubmitting until it lands in a 10 holder. It looks perfect, congrats.

    I reembered ripping packs in '96. Back then it was all about Eddie George and Eric Moulds but this guy ended up making good. I always liked the Pinnacle dufex cards. The Trophy is a pop 4 and the Artist's Proof is a pop 1.
