Not new pickups but now reside in the new PSA holders. Still think the Eck Rookie is one of the coolest cards of the 70's. Thought I would share before I tuck them back in.

Great cards and agree with the Eck. Always wondered if that’s some chew in his side cheek or just the lighting/shadows.
My local card shop had an Upper Deck promotion going on and was giving these out. I wonder if PSA would grade them?

Managed to pull this out of the box I bought too. To eBay it goes tonight while the card is still red hot.

These '62 woodies are the best of nostalgia in the 60's IMO...... I'm hunting for more HOF'ers in 62, 63 and 71~ Id love to find this Aaron in a PSA 8 with splendid centering as well... I just cant get enough ......
Also love the ‘62s and I’m hoping this guy does well - he’s on his way to California as we speak!

Yes, I know it’s not perfect,l and I thought the left to right was a bit better from the scan. I still do like it and it pairs well with my existing Willie. I need a Mantle 7 now for blackjack.
Been after the right '53 Topps Mick for quite some time. Almost every one of them has either centering or red corner issues, or both. Was thrilled to land this specimen! Quite prettier than a 7 I owned and leaves me one card from feeling my Mick run is complete.

Sweet looking 53 Mick. Well done as always. Looks like the only thing keeping it from grading higher is the bottom right corner. Amazing how a PSA 6 can outshine higher graded examples

That Willie and Hank look great together. Two nice cards. Congrats.
While I hemmed and hawed over it for a while, I finally settled on a Casey Stengel rookie that felt more representative than the 1940 PlayBall card where he was manager for the Boston Bees. After consulting’s few different checklists and websites, the choice became quite clear and apparent: the first collectible produced when he was a member of the Brooklyn Dodgers. His rookie season was 1912, this carries a designation of 1914 and the first actual card wouldn’t be produced until two years later. Factor in the price of the alternatives (1910 Old Mill card from his minor league days in Maysville or the 1916 Sporting News) and you see why this cool little piece was the only choice I could make...
1914 B18 Blanket - Casey Stengel Brooklyn Dodgers
These little felts are 5 1/2 square and came with tobacco like many cards of the era, a product called Egyptienne Straights.

Does PSA grade these?
I honestly have no clue. At worst, I can get them to slab it green, right?

Wow!!! That’s a serious card. Really nice @MLBdays

Thanks! I have always really loved them, and they just stood out growing up as demonstrating how big a deal a color tv was in 1955. Issue does not have really any big rookies and that brings it down a bit and some simply don’t like the style with lower graded having major chipping etc. I do really like the 62’s as well
@MLBdays said: @dan89 ~The '55 Bowman issue to me is as undervalued a timeless classic as any issue out there.....its so unique and delicate for the dark wood trim......I really think those Umpire cards are extraordinary with Chylak, Barlick and other HOF umps adding something unique to collecting baseball history...... At one time I owned 8-9 PSA 9's in the umpire issues. I wish I still had them.....the boldness of the dark cards on the original TV screen cant get any more pure. It fits perfectly in a museum of 1950-60's "Leave it to Beaver" architecture. I should drop this discussion or I'll end up going back into the '55 Bowman collecting sickness......Im just that kind of lunatic....:)

Not an overly valuable card, but I'm extremely happy with its arrival in the mail today. I bought it raw many months back and submitted it for grading. It came back as N-6 Min Size Rqmt. I compared it to the other 1966s I had on hand and couldn't see a size difference so, after waiting a few weeks to consider my other raw options, I took a chance and resubmitted it with the credit that comes along with an N-6. While I was originally hoping for better than a PSA 6, I'll happily take it given the alternative...

Pretty excited about this pickup!! To me its Rodger's best and most attractive Rookie card. Super low print run of only 15 made with a rare silver colored autograph on a jersey swatch worn by Aaron in an official game. This one is 04/15 which I think is kinda cool since his predecessor Favre was #4. There is only 1 PSA GEM MINT 10 and this is it !!
You bring so much heat in the monthly pickup threads, love it. Congrats on this one.
Love all the ‘55 Bowmans. Been working on a HOF set in that year and know how tough they are. Really nice Mays, Aaron and Howard. Wow on that ‘62 Aaron!

Great looking card. Congrats. That has to be a low POP card.
As the title of the thread states it's a November to remember and I won't forget about it anytime soon!
This addition will most likely be the pinnacle of my collection perhaps not in dollar value but in importance. This is a pop 4 with one higher. I've seen 3 of the 4 9s and I would choose this one above the other two. I actually passed on one about a year ago and kicked myself for weeks after that wondering if I'd see another copy available. The pop 1 10 will probably never leave the hands of its current owner so I this is as good as it will get for me.

Wow!!! Major score on that one. Congrats.
ill post pics later.. scanner is acting up. picked up a signed chris chelios book and dion phaneuf puck
been eying this card from this set for awhile now and still need to pick one up just for the sake of having one.

@dmanrico - I always assumed it was a big chaw or wad of gum. I hope so because that's what's cool !! it just drools "I'm gonna mow ya down"!!
Here are my recent pick ups...I'm up to 4 different Trout cards now...
This completes my Bonds rookie run..
And this is just one more 1965 Clemente to add to the 6 or 7 I already have of my favorite card...going to need to get it slabbed.
