Another nice get for my Propagandas Montiel Set, the Hebrew Hammer was one of the premier sluggers of his era and held down first base for the Tigers teams in the 30s and 40s. The cool part about his appearance in this set - in addition to adding to the star power - is this would also be an ‘active’ card as he was still playing when the set was released.

Awesome looking photo Joe. What is it?
They are called "1961 Manny's Baseball Land" photos. I had one that I had Harmon autograph, now that PSA is grading them, I needed one without the auto.
I looked to see if I could find a Yaz. I found one Boston player (pictured below), Tom Brewer. His final year was 1961 and didn't play much. I finally found a list of Red Sox players and no Yaz.
If you look closely at the Killebrew, you will see the "TC" logo on his hat is "airbrushed" in, there's no logo on his jersey and his socks look to be from the Senators and not the Twins. This would date the photo prior to 1961.
OK some recent slabs back going to show off the Wade Boggs stuff first.
The first two were testers. I knew going out the corners were showing a touch white. The retail Jewels is always poor condition. Its common with Pacific items. Its a result of poor packaging in many cases. Wanted to see how far they'd ding me so it would show me the limits. Grades were spot on and as expected. Can still resell them just cheaply is all. I have more will try and upgrade. Love how the colors pop on it To me there is NO such thing as "wasting" money it all gets eventually resold. Sat on stuff years and sold it for grading fees back. Never lost a nickel subbing anything as its always taught me lessons grading and financial wise.
The 1994 Fleer AS was the worst of the bunch so if that gets a 9 pretty sure one of my others will gem
The 2007 Ultimate is as expected bought that years ago offline. NearMint 8 is normal on thicker cards so no sweat on that one
The Leather and Lumber I thought was good and had a chance at Mint glad it did Doubt there will be a 10 for a while
That series is poorly cut. Not sure on whether that ones gonna be PC or feebay. With 250 available sure someone may get a 10 just will be a while.
The Finest Milestones was the surprise thought it had a surface issue musta been lint glad it gemmed !!
I have a bunch more Boggs from 1988 Star but no more time today have to sleep again before work.

I hit the “agree” button under your post. Just wanted to add “yet”.
MVP year, free agency, Boras, huge contract and potential bigger market team trade will change that in a couple of months.
Was really hoping he was going to slide over to the Braves since Donaldson was only on a 1 year contract, but the bringer of rain has settled in nicely with the team and fans.
Nice Flahertys! I pulled a 2018 Bowman Atomic Refractor of him that I have been meaning to send off to be graded. Him and the rest of the Cardinals pitching embarassed the Cubs with their recent series sweep.

Thanks Dan 😁 Amazingly its a Pop 1 none higher. I'm in the process of subbing my Boggs PC items. I sub the lowest looking ones first let's me know what's important to look for grades wise. I have about 30,000 Boggs to go thru. Included is an 800 ct box full of his rookies. Anything that looks like it will be 7 or above goes in. II used to buy bulk Star item off Rotmans and the Doc so need to do those as well. Been absolutely a joy to see items I had in storage for eons see the light if day again 🐧🐧
Raw OPC Lemieux rookie. The card is more square than the pics (especially the back) make it appear. I'm no grading or OPC expert, but I think the touch on the back bottom left and a little OC left-to-right on the front are the weaknesses - the rest of the white on the edges seems to me to be more of the OPC rough cut. Maybe a PSA 7?

Tim, how many players were active vs retired in the Prop Montiel set? I know Foxx was retired one year and Musial was a rookie.
Dan,
The full set is 180 but there’s boxers, wrestlers, tennis players and others. I’ve bolded the guys I am sure were pretty much retired players, meaning their last year was 1946-47 (or significantly earlier).

Got a beautiful BBCE 1980 Topps "Dead Centered" Nolan Ryan Rack Pack in from @grote15. Love the 1980 Ryan Card in general and think its one of his best. Thanks Tim!!
Some more Boggs back. As I said before have tons to go thru of Boggs. This Star series is plagued by poor centering, miscuts and surface flaws. Bunch of highest pop / pop 1 cards so far with more to follow. Bunch of misses as well. Not bad condition considering they went cross country 12 years ago and stayed in storage with me tossing around

Could not be any happier with these. With everything going on I feel a lot of great cards went for great deals and I’m happy to own these. And the Chance actually has a back wet sheet transfer error on the front! I think it’s cool. Great set!

I doubt psa will ever designate and even if they did the pop report would never be correct, but your Luke is actually a #57a vs 57b. All ‘52 Mantle-esque like.
Very easy to distinguish by the asterisk at the beginning of the copyright stamp on the front.
“ * “ denotes the A side
“ ** “ denotes the B side
Adding: If you are a variant collector or a completionist, there is currently a B side 10 listed on ebay. And no, it is not my card. 😉
At the very least you may just want to screen grab and keep a file to see which one truly has the lower pop. I own a few and the B side seems to be just a tad bit lower within the grade. I’ve found you can never have too much information or too big of a comparable picture database on such items. Over time little nuances can emerge that can result in much larger premiums being paid. The ‘79 OPC Gretzky first run skate lines come to mind.
