September acquisitions -- let's do this

KendallCat · September 15, 2018 6:45PM

Grabbed this one the other night. Loved this card as a kid.

ssdawg77 · September 16, 2018 7:50AM

A couple 52 highs for my set and another Heritage auto for the collection.

JKT · September 16, 2018 1:20PM

Well after a lot of tossing and turning last night, I woke up resolved to pull the trigger on this one. My "biggest" card purchase ever, and certainly the new cornerstone of my Bregman collection (once I have it in hand). This purchase will certainly put me on the sidelines for a bit as far as buying cards goes, but I couldn't be happier to be the new owner. Gonna be stalking the mailman this week!

NGS428 · September 16, 2018 8:06PM

Griffey, who else.

wadevl · September 16, 2018 8:31PM

THIS IS NICE!!!!!

This vintage beauty arrived today. To me an all time iconic Rookie Football card with a great image, color and design!!

Eavdr10 · September 16, 2018 9:07PM

So after a very long hiatus, not by choice, life has been kicking my a$$, I’ve decided to jump back in the saddle, with a primary focus on the decade that made me fall in love with collecting... the 80s. This is my first of hopefully many, upon my return as a more focused and patient collector.

slimies · September 17, 2018 10:14AM

just picked this up at goodwill couple days ago

Stone193 · September 17, 2018 1:40PM

First I want to thank Tim aka 1951Wheaties for this generous gift of Bob Lemon! Is this great or what?!

And coincidentally, this came back from PSA - it was an 8OC but I'd rather have it NQ at 7 and it came back that way - a very "close" 7 on centering.

So now that you have one in hand, what do you think of the Wheaties Premiums? Honest thoughts...

krisd3279 · September 18, 2018 9:28PM

I pulled this from a pack about a week ago.

brad31 · September 19, 2018 6:57AM

Jfkheat those are some beautiful cards. Really love the Irvin, Kaline and leaders.

RookieHOFers · September 19, 2018 2:31PM

moonlightgraham · September 19, 2018 3:45PM

Here are my recent additions. I’ve been wanting these for some time and finally pulled the trigger.

brad31 · September 19, 2018 9:01PM

Wow on that Mantle and Gretzky. Really nice for the grade on both.

stwainfan · September 20, 2018 6:01PM

Got Bowman Griffey.

rmh111985 · September 20, 2018 6:16PM

Decided to pull the trigger on this one earlier:

dictoresno · September 20, 2018 6:58PM

I miss my PSA 10, so got this to hopefully be a review candidate. This has to be the cleanest PSA 9 I've seen in awhile, and much nicer than my current PSA 9 I'm replacing it with (it has corner fray which is a huge eyesore)

dictoresno · September 20, 2018 6:59PM

For sale or trade?

rmh111985 · September 20, 2018 7:37PM

And one more while the eBay bucks promotion was going:

I'm planning on keeping that one.

Hiya Tim

They're beauties! If I didn't have a full plate? I'd seriously consider them.

Slight downside? I have around 25 graded T3s which eat up some real estate - just imagine adding another large format to my collection? Big!

Thanx again buddy.

stwainfan · September 21, 2018 7:07PM

Got these in.

Huskies11 · September 21, 2018 8:41PM

One of the greatest players of all time, but more importantly- one of the best mullets of all time.

ssdawg77 · September 22, 2018 8:34AM

A few new pickups.

All hail The Jagr-Meister!

***The Official Shot of the NHL

brad31 · September 22, 2018 9:00AM

Centering off but color and corners are amazing. My horrible scanner does not do it justice. A huge overpay for a 5 but glad I pulled the trigger.

stwainfan · September 22, 2018 2:50PM

Here's a good one.

justrun7 · September 22, 2018 6:34PM

Stone193 · September 22, 2018 8:59PM

Really sweet Cobb pickup, David.

The only Cobb I have is on a board game.

ReggieCleveland · September 23, 2018 9:15AM

I don't think I posted this. Sometimes a stain is your friend. This replaces a previous 7 that I had. I thought it looked good in the scans and noticed the stain on the back. Was hoping it would look as good as I thought it might and it turned out better. The card is flawless sans the stain (or discoloration, whichever it is) on the back. All 4 corners perfect, edges perfect, looks Mint 9+. This is one of those cards I just leave out on my desk because I want to look at it in-hand every other day. I love this card.

Arthur

ahopkins · September 23, 2018 3:25PM

I've been looking for one of these for a while at a reasonable price. I pulled the trigger on this one within 10 seconds of looking at the listing. I have it in hand now and have successfully removed the price sticker without any damage to the cellophane.

And the centering on the Mattingly is insane. If I bust it, it gets a 10 easily. But it will forever remain sealed.

I already had the Green and think the Red pairs nicely

Next, buying Cobb Bat On and Off in PSA 2 - 3.5 range

Your pairing cards like wine😊

JBrules · September 23, 2018 6:13PM

Nice Havlicek pickup. The corners and centering on the front of that card are incredible. Well done Arthur!!!

Big hands, big patch, big win today.

mintonlypls · September 23, 2018 7:18PM

Seller accepted my offer for this 1964 Topps cello pack psa-8...1st series. This is the first year I collected baseball cards...probably paid too much but it brings back memories!

stwainfan · September 24, 2018 4:29PM

A couple of this guy.

LOTSOS · September 24, 2018 6:01PM

Mail Day. Batman sighting!

rmh111985 · September 24, 2018 8:27PM

eBay bucks promo made this one easier to pull the trigger on. Possibly more coming before it ends.

Reminds me of a bus trip on July 20 1969 I took with my Dad to Parc Jarry to see the Mets play the Expos. That Van Brocklin and "Hondo" are lights out.

alifaxwa2 · September 25, 2018 4:37AM

BPorter26 · September 25, 2018 7:05AM

I haven't collecting any football cards in a long time, but for some reason these 88's have been calling my name of late. I picked up the signed rookie last month which is now at PSA for the dual service. I just picked up this Bo that was not signed.

ReggieCleveland · September 25, 2018 9:28AM

How did the original submitter not select dual service on that Bo? That card is sharp!

Arthur

spanky74 · September 25, 2018 10:01AM

My guess based on the slab age is that is when a dual red flip cost $25 and the blue flip could be had for around $10. Pricing used to really suck to get pre-1998 autos into red flips.

ssdawg77 · September 25, 2018 2:15PM

A few more Heritage autos

1951WheatiesPremium · September 26, 2018 7:50AM

Hoping this grades out well as it looks to be pretty sharp:

1962 Topps #218 Joe Torre

LarkinCollector · September 26, 2018 7:53AM

I normally don't like to post until I have the item in hand, but pretty excited about this one. Either this copy or the loose sheet I already have will be headed for the chopping block ...

1983 Editorial Bruguera (Spain) uncut sheet w/Seve & Nicklaus

Largentcollector · September 26, 2018 11:09AM

Kyle, that sheet looks really crisp congrats! Are you cutting your own cards w/ a cutter? I have a couple of sheets I need to get cut.

LarkinCollector · September 26, 2018 11:18AM

I haven't tried yet, I've had Nate/dytch2220 do my cutting in the past since he's got the good equipment for it. I've got a pile of stuff ready, so once I get this in hand I'll be reaching out to him to see if he's interested.

UFFDAH · September 27, 2018 11:21AM

New arrival in today's mail. Still picking up Rodgers Rookies here and there.

UFFDAH · September 27, 2018 12:44PM

A nice Fall Brees to go with today's cooler temps.
