God, that Yaz is gorgeous!

Not a card purchase, but a neat vintage football item circa 1966.

An uncut vinyl sheet of NFL pennants of the 15 NFL pre-merger teams. The overall size is roughly 13" x 40", and the colors are vibrant. Love the old school logos!

Busy weekend for me. Had my renewal sub pop Friday while in the dental chair.

Got this one card in to push me to 91.11% Completion of Super Bowl MVPs and bumped me up to the #3 spot for current finest.

Also went to a show in Dallas. Picked up several cards which will be making the trip west, but this is the only card I walked away with already slabbed. Graded 2 of these myself that came back 10s but sold both so glad to replace them

Most of them came from a recent card show.

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.

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.

Love the Flahertys! Keeping an eye on him, the Beebs and Soroka out of the 2018 rookie class, pitcher wise.

Some of my favorites from my renewal

Fresh off his 3 hr performance yesterday.

Hit #39 yesterday, would love to see him get one more before the regular season ends

This guy

The 2 MVP favorites before injury

Also I am a sucker for Action Variations, have the 17 as well so now I have to go after the tougher ones

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.

https://tradingcarddb.com/ViewSet.cfm/sid/111486/1961-Manny's-Baseball-Land-Boston-Red-Sox

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.

He’s good but nobody outside of Washington seems to care, especially card collectors

2014bestservice · September 23, 2019 5:31PM

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.

Just have to wait and see.

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 🐧🐧

PM coming

burghman · September 24, 2019 7:53AM

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?

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).

24 Napoleon Reyes
31 Miguel Gonzalez
34 Carlos Blanco
36 Kid Chocolate
39 Martin Dihigo
41 Babe Ruth
42 Ty Cobb
43 Alejandro Crespo
44 Ted Williams
48 Armando Marsans
55 Bob Feller
56 Bill Dickey
56 Gabby Hartnett (Bill Dickey Back)
57 Lou Gehrig
58 Joe DiMaggio
59 Hank Greenberg
60 Red Ruffing
61 Tex Hughson
64 Stan Musial (Los Reyes Del Deporte)
65 Melvin Ott
67 Frank Overmire (Los Reyes Del Deporte)
70 Jimmie Foxx (Los Reyes Del Deporte)
73 Carl Hubbell
74 Andrew Pafko
75 David Ferris (Los Reyes Del Deporte)
78 Joe Medwick
79 Christy Mathewson
85 Al Lopez

Corrections welcome

DBesse27 · September 24, 2019 9:54AM

Tim, what a wealth of knowledge! Thanks!

UFFDAH · September 24, 2019 1:35PM

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!!

2014bestservice · September 24, 2019 6:11PM

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!

Been keeping an eye on them but they keep going a bit out of my price range. Did pick up the holiday bat down raw for a decent price.

Love that Albies BTW. I don’t have near enough of him.

JBL · September 26, 2019 6:08PM

Dpeck100 · September 26, 2019 6:38PM

I have wanted a copy of this card for awhile.

Flyin Brian Pillman was a great wrestler.

Here he is in 1986 in the CFL.
