This arrived yesterday but no going back to last year now. One more for my 70's Sabres Run.

PaulMaul · January 1, 2019 10:06AM

I enjoy seeing these nice hockey cards as I’ve never seen most of them!

We just added this rarity to our website.. https://kennerstartinglineup.blogspot.com/

dictoresno · January 2, 2019 1:15PM

just in time for him to get traded

yoda99 · January 2, 2019 2:56PM

I just received this 1957 Mantle today so I now have all the Topps regular Mantles from 1956-1969. I might be satisfied here or maybe I add the 1953 Topps Mantle at some point. I know I'll never get the 52. I took advantage of the 15% off.

Beautiful Yogi, MLB! Just curious: I notice your recent Yogi, Reggie and Torre pickups were all reholdered. Was that factor at all important to you in buying them, or would you have been just as happy with them in their original pre-hologram holders? Or did you have them reholdered yourself?

brad31 · January 2, 2019 4:19PM

Nice Berra. Your cards have been amazing the last couple of months MLBdays. Thanks for sharing.

@PaulMaul ... that wasn't a factor at all...just the merits of the card are evaluated. I only re-holder if the holder is in bad shape which is fairly rare. Thank you for the feedback!

Well I must say they look even better with the lighthouse holders! Congrats!

brad31 · January 2, 2019 6:12PM

The Feller was bought with a 15% coupon and the Fox with 10% Bucks promotion.

Still need to get photoshop and work on color as they look washed out but the resolution is better after using the settings in the scanning guide.

rmh111985 · January 2, 2019 8:59PM

A few more Roy's to add in. These "St. Patrick" cards have me captivated right now:

And a McNabb rookie jersey that doesn't pop up often:

Gemyanks10 · January 3, 2019 12:52PM

Just picked this up today! PSA 10, POP 1...for my Griffey Master Set.

stwainfan · January 3, 2019 1:29PM

Got these in today.

1951WheatiesPremium · January 3, 2019 1:40PM

Thanks to some eBay bucks action, I just scooped the Scooter! Pretty nice example of the card and I will get it done soon enough; crossed to a PSA slab, that is. This time, though, I grabbed his actual rookie card. I’m working on a self created set of representative rookie cards for the Yankees who have had their number retired. While PSA has their own similar set (I’m working on that, too), I prefer a few of the ‘first card rookies’ to some of the more arbitrary ones. For example, 1933 Goudey was closer to Ruth’s 20th season, 1939 Playball was Joe DiMaggio’s 3rd season and 1948 Bowman was Phil Rizzuto’s 7th. So, without further ado, here he is and HOLY COW does he look young...

1941 Double Play - Lefty Gomez #61 and Phil Rizzuto #62

krisd3279 · January 3, 2019 1:55PM

And the eBay bucks are gone just like that....

UFFDAH · January 3, 2019 2:54PM

Addition to my Rodgers Rookie Run

softparade · January 3, 2019 8:26PM

This made me happy this evening.

I don't know about you all but I am horrendous at hanging on to my eBay bucks for longer than 24 hours

Been steadily picking up as much of this guy as I can when the price is right.....

And a couple of raw cards that will be headed to PSA very soon.....

UFFDAH · January 4, 2019 2:40PM

So I purchased this rare 1/1 Rookie Mookie last year during the MLB season. I decided to get it reholdered and it recently came back. Went on the PSA Website and it looks like they got a nice scan of it while it was there.

This 2007 Ultra card is nice.. In fact so nice that they used the same picture (ok maybe a split second between the two) on the front for 2 consecutive years!

I do like the complete stat line on the back of the 2007!

So much fire. I'm legit jealous of this. Congratulations!

Love that you try to stay consistent and get things in the new flips, I'm the same way.

Got this one. Low pop of 2 for now, but I'm sure there will be more.

Top 3 HR hitters In the 1970's ~Willie Stargell hit 296 Home Runs, Reggie hit 292 and Johnny Bench hit 290 ~...... If you had to put a face on the 1970's it'd be Mr. October....Reggie was the 70's in MLB..this is the latest to the Reggie career set.... enjoy! T ~

Wow! Great card from an underappreciated set. Stunning.

He's so consistent the fans in the background are all wearing the same clothes even.

Interesting fact: It’s actually different people but when you sat in those seats during the Griffey years you had to put those clothes on during every at bat.

They were in little bags under the seats. Nobody seemed to mind.

These explanations sound totally rational to me. Griffey was amazing.

In the last week I received these new additions to sets I'm working on.

Little known fact, the Seattle fans would not do this for him. Once he moved to Cincinnati the fans loved doing this. I am glad Ultra caught the moments.

Sweet relic of a fading Ultra brand who apparently fired their photographer and creative designers.

Nice pic anyway.

Like the Keller cards, Ive been secretly stashing Kingham cards.

pulled a 2017 bowman platinum keller auto last year and never heard of him. found out recently he's picking up steam so I picked up a few more for the hell of it. even though his 1st Bowmans were 2014 I think, it wasn't until 2017 that he started signing cards.

It's like signing the card is a jinx.

Borrowing from an SNL News joke about the death of the "world's oldest living person" where they mention the relatively short reign of the two previous titleholders.

Cool item, btw.
