July Card Acquisitions....vintage and modern....what cards did you get?

brad31 · July 24, 2019 10:08PM

Have always loved the multi-player cards and am slowly trying to get all of the 50's and 60's ones with HOF on them.

One more for the rainbow.. (case scratch on Ken's neck) A few more will be on their way soon.

Nice, you have me wanting to go for the 87D Maddux run. What is the reason for this one? Either the indentation in the hologram or the small crease on the back right I would guess as these seem to account for most 5's.

Yeah, must be the crease on the back right. Good catch. Seller actually stated that it had a crease in the item title.

Edit: As far as the rainbow, it has been a fun pursuit. Trying to keep them as centered as possible for the grade. The half point grades are tough (low pop), so there are some compromises there.

I was looking at the 87D Maddox the other day. About $100 in a 10 and then it dropped off to $10 in a 9. How large are the pops for the lower grades?

Just added to my collection

A nice RC.

DBesse27 · July 25, 2019 10:02AM

That Jeter kid is gonna be something. Just a gut feeling I have....

I love the vintage multi-superstar cards too, and this one is one of my favorites of that genre. Would really love to own one someday. Great card, congrats!

Thanks Dan - enjoy seeing all your Yaz cards. It is great to have you back in the forum.

Thanks! Made a lot of progress on my master set during my hiatus, but was too lazy to do any “catch up” posts when I got back. Thanks again.

Just received Yummy FASC ‘81 Donruss Wax

softparade · July 26, 2019 4:11PM

Received this today too! It’s been a TGIF for sure

Huskies11 · July 26, 2019 4:40PM

Got this in today, very tempted to send it in for review especially given it's in an old flip.

UFFDAH · July 26, 2019 5:25PM

@softparade I was 11 and in my prime when 81' Donruss came out LOL. Tough centering FO SHO.

DBesse27 · July 26, 2019 6:56PM

My 59F Ted Williams has been complete for a couple of years, but here are 2 more upgrades to a set I'm in denial I'm still working on:

I have had my eye on the Tiffany in a well centered 9 for a while. The 2 that have fit the bill just slipped out of my hands.

KendallCat · July 26, 2019 9:17PM

Grabbed this one which surprisingly went for 30% less than when it sold in April for the same card and cert. Tough #1 card of Willie who I think will go up in the future.

Buy the dips!

Huskies11 · July 27, 2019 9:51AM

@skrezyna23 love the Ripkens! Makes me want to try and get all the variations. Had no idea there was so many until I read the Billy Ripken website

jeffv96masters · July 27, 2019 10:01AM

doubledragon · July 27, 2019 4:38PM

I finally found an original copy of the famous 1974 yamakatsu Bruce Lee no.36

Bearkat21 · July 28, 2019 10:34AM

Added to my Braves Rookies set

kcherevka · July 28, 2019 12:03PM

Getting started on a Troy Polamalu rookie set. This is card number 3 to go along with my Finest and SP Authentic acquisitions.

rmh111985 · July 28, 2019 9:38PM

Some PC pickups during a busy week. Went a little crazy on about 25 Pinnacle Epix hockey cards (no pictures yet), and only one Roy card:

Added these Griffey cards for the PC:

One Ripken that doesn't fit the needs for my PSA registry, but a card from my childhood in high grade:

And another Frank Thomas to add:

Interesting. There’s a Mattingly super collector on here who lives/works in South Korea.

I don't think it is Dan, Dan.

@krisd3279 said:

You're right. I didn't think about that. The one I purchased was from Leaf Breakers. Feedback seemed good so I pulled the trigger. I have never purchased anything from outside the US on EBAY so we'll see how it goes. So far I have a tracking number with label created status.

There are a number of very big breakers/sports card sellers in South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Japan, especially if you collect basketball cards. A number of these Asia based dealers also break baseball and football. As a basketball collector, I regularly purchase cards from international sellers, but I also think it is the most international sport out of BK, FB and BB.

The following 3 PSA 10 Hannah additions all replace PSA 8's in my master set. I'm excited that this raises my GPA to over 9.21 . Proud, because of some of the oddballs I've needed to track down with no regard to condition.

Hannah is in both the "All Star" and Patriots sets, with 4 colors each, meaning his 1986 McDonald's run contains 8 cards. I now have these three PSA 10's, three self-subbed 9's, and the other two are self-subbed 8's. I'm hoping to someday upgrade those two 8's to 10's as well.

Those McDonalds cards are very cool. I remember being a kid and hoping my parents would take me to McDonalds so I could get more of my 49ers team set completed. I don't know where those cards went from when I was young. One of these days I will have to pick up a high grade Jerry Rice or Joe Montana. Congrats on a trio of 10's. I wonder if any of these high grade McDonalds cards ever made it to paying customers. I can't imagine a card that was actually ever circulated 33 years ago would get a 10.

stwainfan · July 29, 2019 7:16AM

My 9th Gibson for basic Topps set.

Dpeck100 · July 30, 2019 6:36PM

I just got these two cards in the mail today. I bought the Hogan from @KNAPP and he is a great person to deal with and the Fedor came straight from Japan. I plan to send it in with my next submission.

Huskies11 · July 30, 2019 9:04PM

Gorgeous OPC Hogan!! Perfect centering.

Huskies11 · July 30, 2019 9:06PM

Added a Luka red ice to my collection. I've been slacking in the basketball department lately, which happens sometimes when you're an unfocussed collector like I am.

DBesse27 · July 31, 2019 8:58AM

Picked these up a couple of weeks ago and figured I better share them in the July thread before the month ends!

Ever since I landed my 1969 Atlantic Richfield Yaz premium, it's been one of my very favorite items in my collection. I also was in my dad's study last year and stumbled upon a Tony C from the set. It was beat to hell, but I still loved the artwork and colors, so I thought maybe one day I'd complete the Red Sox team set. That day came earlier this month, when I landed raw copies of Tony C and the other ten 8x10 "cards" to complete my set. Here is a reminder what the Yaz looks like and then a few of my favorites from the rest of the team set:

But I kinda want to see the beat up Tony C now. The one that inspires is always impressive...

erikthredd · July 31, 2019 2:17PM

Picked up some graded & ungraded 90's inserts of MJ. The Finest Dish and Swish with Pippen on front and MJ on back usually has horrible centering,especially the MJ side, so I was pretty happy to finally find a centered copy.

Rofles · July 31, 2019 5:27PM

My last one for July!
