I have been trying to track down a copy for quite some time. Brock’s best pack issued signed card.

Two more for the Roy collection:

Anyone know what the heck my latest pick up is?

PaulMaul · August 17, 2018 4:28PM

I actually prefer this PSA 8 to all the 9s of this card I’ve seen on eBay in the last several years. Perfect corners, nice cut...vertical centering just a tad too far off for the 9. But pretty close!

Stone193 · August 17, 2018 4:57PM

That's a really good Hunter - Dave.

Sharp corners and if it were in a 9 holder - the centering would be fine with me.

TNP777 · August 18, 2018 10:30AM

Weekend chores are done (got a good head start on 'em last night), so time to play with my cardboard a little.

These were my two most significant pickups at the National:

My 4th Brooklyn Cracker Jack:

My first T202 Hassan Triple Folder:

PaulMaul · August 18, 2018 1:22PM

Picked this card up today in White Plains. Another card I’m happy with and feel is a good value. Great corners, nice whiteness and print quality, no tilt. So 62/38 centering instead of 60/40 saves me about $350.

prgsdw · August 18, 2018 1:30PM

Great pick up! How was White Plains show this time? I was going to go, but couldn't at the last minute. Thanks

PaulMaul · August 18, 2018 1:33PM

It wasn’t great honestly. It seemed like every time I saw something really nice it was just being shown off for a future auction. There were the usual couple of dealers with some nice stuff, but calling it the “East Coast National” seems a bit of a stretch.

WalkinDude · August 19, 2018 7:12AM

Got some real good grades recently. I think the Grader of Death was on vacation.

PaulMaul · August 22, 2018 12:42PM

Nice 1972 addition...looks like it could have been a 10!

galaxy27 · August 22, 2018 2:28PM

why is it that every time uffdah posts in a monthly acquisitions thread i invariably end up in a new pair of underwear

TNP777 · August 22, 2018 6:36PM

Great pickups, fellas!

Here's my second T207

PaulMaul · August 23, 2018 11:51AM

One more ‘72 that just arrived courtesy of 4SC’s break of @bens4778 ‘s set!

Great looking Gehrig! Love the centering and the colors.

dan89 · August 23, 2018 2:27PM

I am such a sucker for nice centering. This one is likely not going to bump with the upper left, however it is a sharp pack fresh and oohhh., the centering

That is a beautiful 75 Ryan and what a strong 8 - absolutely love that card and you picked up a great example.

I like the eye appeal of this one.

Been on a Rams kick lately, hope he and Torry get into the Hall someday

Was looking at this and wondering how this got a 3.5 with that giant crease and then realized the screen on my phone was cracked.

fergie23 · August 24, 2018 6:57AM

Couple August pick ups for me. I over paid for the Trout but have seen prices go from $2k to $5k for this card since I started looking for one. The centering is OK, not great, and the PD is much more noticeable in the scan than in hand.

The Tiger is to replace a PSA 9 that bumped to a PSA 10 last year.

BriYo79 · August 24, 2018 8:31AM

Incredible Trout, Robb!!

That is a sweet looking 61 Mantle and a very strong 8!

+1

And tough to find centering like that!

Congratulations.

dan89 · August 26, 2018 5:25AM

Awesome 61 Mantle!! Saw that one and noticed how nice it was and then it sold. Glad it found a nice home

jfkheat · August 26, 2018 7:15AM

I picked these up over the last couple weeks. The 56s are for my 56 HOF set that I will never complete. The 62 AS and 63 Fleer are upgrades for those sets. The 58 AS is for my 58 AS subset.

The ‘56 Mantle obviously looks much nicer than a 5, but that certainly suggests a hidden defect. Any spider creases on front or back?

Stone193 · August 26, 2018 12:52PM

Really nice upgrade on the 63F James.

1951WheatiesPremium · August 27, 2018 2:46PM

Still not entirely sure what this guy is - it's been described as coming with a board game, underwear and a few other things. I was always under the impression that this was a 'lobby card' for the movie "Safe at Home." Whatever it is, EVERYONE was cashing in on these two guys in '61 and '62. Who could blame them?

Two separate spots on the right edge is the flaw. Check the edges to the right of his ear above and slightly below.

Sdub · August 27, 2018 9:01PM

is it still August?

PaulMaul · August 28, 2018 4:38AM

WOW!!

yoda99 · August 28, 2018 6:15AM

I picked up a 1962 Ron Santo card with green tint. Ron is one of my favorite players of the 60s.

Next, I picked up Art Donovan for my 1958 Colts subset. Only 2 more Colt players and the Colts team card needed to complete this subset.

mattyc_collection · August 28, 2018 10:21AM

That 71 Morgan is a thing of beauty.

Pretty happy gazing at this pair

UFFDAH · August 28, 2018 10:44AM

The various Mantles being shown are all SWEET!! That 71' Joe Morgan is flat out incredible - Black Border Beauty with an incredible action image!!!

UFFDAH · August 28, 2018 10:50AM

So I went fishing again and caught a couple Trout. At first I thought they were Rainbow Trout when I brought them into the boat but come to find out they are actually Mike Trout !! Both were caught on a Mepps #2 Aglia Spinner tipped with a night crawler.

CenteredMantles · August 28, 2018 11:45AM

Not a centered mantle but I see we already have that covered for the month, insane cards Matt.

Added this little 1/1 to my growing Judge Collection. Hope he comes back soon, it's not the same without him.

ahopkins · August 28, 2018 1:33PM

Those Mantles are amazing.

Picked this up with the 15% discount just now.

rmh111985 · August 28, 2018 10:01PM

After being very disappointed in the 9 I bought earlier in the month (a glaring defect on the right edge that should've knocked the card down to probably a 7) I decided to use the 15% on upgrading to this:

Now to try and move my 7 in a 9 holder to recoup some of the cost....
