Getting back to my roots with another Commerce Comet collectible. I feel like this is begging to get out of it's slab and be correctly labeled (though I'm glad it is as having it passed already makes life so much easier). Once it is correctly labeled by PSA, the hope is that the dual grade is 1/10. In any event, there's less than 15 of this particular Mickey Mantle Master Set Item that have been graded - and it will be the only one registered and signed. Pretty cool item and off to Newport Beach in 2019 - for sure.

Another quality centered card for my 69 football set. This is the best card I've ever seen of Otis Taylor. They are rarely centered and there can be a lot of white spots in the yellow area. This card just has one white spot. His story is kind of sad. His sister has been taking care of him for years. Football took a toll on his body and mind. He has to be tube fed.
After 15% off, this little beauty for just under $80 delivered was just too good to pass up. While certainly off center, it looks to be crease free and pretty clean with nice enough corners to fit into my NYY Retired Numbers Rookie Set.

November has been a busy month for the board. Lots of nice additions everyone.
Added a non card item. This was offered for sale on ebay about a year ago. I contacted the seller and we couldn’t come to an agreement on a price. I don’t think he really wanted to sell it as a Buffalo sports collector himself. He was shooting for the moon to see if anyone would bite. He took the listing down after a few days and that was it. I’m not a big social media guy but I do use Twitter. Mainly as a news feed but decided to follow him as one of my first hobby follows.
Two weeks ago he contacted me there and asked if I’d still be interested in it as he needed to raise funds for a new item. (Roger Crozier’s game used glove) This time we worked out a deal and after 2 weeks in the mail it arrived yesterday.
It is a blues section seat from Buffalo Memorial Auditorium autographed by the French Connection with seat tags used for their numbers.
@MLBdays said: @dmanrico Well...I think the best chance Benintendi has might be by becoming a perennial .300 hitter and collecting 3,000 hits with a long career..... I can't see him launching 30 on a regular basis but 200 hits regularly might be doable.
@MLBdays If I’m honest with myself I agree with you but still have the foolish dream of 30+
I neither collect nor watch hockey and even I think that’s a really cool piece. Congrats!
Thanks Tim. I’m very happy to own it.
Plus it was a great connection to make. He collects vintage Buffalo Sports in general. Has an amazing Bills, Braves, Bisons, & Sabres collection. There is one item in particular that I covet. He has a Perreault signed RC Stick.
I let him know. So maybe, possibly, down the road you never know.
Another 1969 football card for the collection. I look for 3 things with these higher numbered cards. A nice border, nice centering and a clean background.
I posted this in another thread. This was my biggest pick up of November and possibly the year. I spent more on my Wilt RC a couple months back but as a Warriors fan this one means more to me. I have spent more on vintage, but this is the most I have ever spent for a modern card and I don't see myself ever surpassing this price tag for another modern card (unless it is for a rarer Curry RC).

I’d review the Dr. J or crack and resub. You won’t do any worse. Might have a wrinkle but likely worth it. I remember someone bought a nice 3 off BST and turned it into a 7 or 8 if I remember correctly.

POP 3 on the 1996 Finest w/ coating. Got it from a local seller willing to go back and forth on a BO listing. 2002 was from the same seller.
Your KGJ basic set is what I aspire mine to be. Love seeing the pickups every month.
Sort of appropriate that my latest pick up is next to yours, don't you think? Played across town together, moved to California together, class act centerfielders. I am working on the '56 set and this was a need at a throwaway price on 4SC.

Thanks Huskies! I think I just hit the 2 year anniversary . Started with nothing... This basic set is my main focus. Over half done, but some super low pop cards left. I have 2 more that are fresh arrivals I will post soon.
Thanks!
Edit: Here they are. This 1995 UD is one of my top 5 favorite base cards. Just something about that front image of the sweet follow through...
As mentioned on 54, this card is an outstanding grab, JBL. What eye appeal. Bravo, sir.
'56 Mick is one of a few cards I can see owning many examples of; what a classic.

A couple of tickets fresh back from PSA:

Been on a bit of an Arenado kick lately......saw these and was happy to work out a deal with the seller for both.
Always looking for tougher PSA 10's of Nolan Arenado, Alex Bregman, Mookie Betts, Francisco Lindor, and Mike Trout.
Nolan Arenado is up this week in the Living Set

@MLBdays Love this card! I’m with ya, but we may be holding for a while. Need Benny to develop some additional power to get some price bumps.
Always wanted one. Worked a good deal on eBay.

Not a card, but a cool 18x24 painting.

I think Benny biceps is gonna go yard more often next year, just needs to re-grow the hair out, it's the source of his power

Great card, Steve!!!
So UNDERGRADED
I’d review the Dr. J or crack and resub. You won’t do any worse. Might have a wrinkle but likely worth it. I remember someone bought a nice 3 off BST and turned it into a 7 or 8 if I remember correctly.
I used a 20x and there are no creases.
@dictoresno Love that red. Pics look like a good shot at 10.
My own Arenado bender continues. Really happy To pick this one up.

On the back scan it looks like an inch long crease in the lower right corner going through the REB PTS AVG area...no?
Can’t go wrong with Willie... One of my all time favorite cards.
I got that one and a Gold PSA 10 also. love those.

No. Either the pic or the angle. No creases what so ever or I wouldn't have bought it.
