I need 62 more for the set.

Can always count on you for a fine 9. Nice pickup!

1951WheatiesPremium · March 12, 2020 2:43PM

A solid Yankees starter. Certainly not the best ever but spent a chunk of his career in the Bronx and helped anchor a WS winning rotation so may have his number retired. His case for the Hall is borderline but the aforementioned was enough for me to take the plunge...

1999 Topps Traded #T33 CC Sabathia

DBesse27 · March 12, 2020 3:06PM

I think his case is better than borderline. 16th all time in K’s and the only ones ahead of him that aren’t in the HOF are Clemens and Schilling.

Ridiculous, this is clearly trimmed, look at those edges.

Dan, you know it can be hard to talk glowingly about Yankees and still be objective for me so I try to understate it a bit.

(I think he’s a lock, myself).

Couldn't pass this one up of the 2021 HOFer, the front is stunning with just the tiniest hint of color bleed at the tips of the top perforation. A spot of paper loss on the bottom of the back kept the technical grade down ...

Hoping this doesn't drag me in, but may have to do a 1-8 run of these at least.

pab1969 · March 13, 2020 9:00AM

Good mail day today.

The centering looks great,Is that one considered his rookie card?

Yes, sir, for those of us who don't follow the "Beckett rules of RCs" (then it's the 2001 Upper Deck). There's one other 1996 issue that PSA grades, but it's supersize. Centering has to be perfect/very near perfect to not have yellow/gold from the adjacent cards showing and this one looks nicer than my 7.

I know what you mean on the yellow/gold shining thru,the 95 MJ is the same color/style as the Tiger and many times has the yellow along the top border.
Was the other 96 Tiger you mentioned his Masters card with the black finish?

1996 Niketown was the one I'm referring to and am about to blow up the pop on. There's also a 1996 Nike mini poster that Beckett grades (#5770 Sand), pretty sure the one they grade is cardstock and I've only got a slick of that so far. His first Masters win wasn't until 1997, I'm trying to picture what card you're referring to.

Oh, duh. If you refer to that set by it's proper name, Pure Evil, I guarantee I'll know

stwainfan · March 13, 2020 12:17PM

I finally got it.

The_Departed · March 13, 2020 1:42PM

Acquired this for a Red Sox project I'm working on, a c.1940's Ted Williams Mitt. Began restoration on it yesterday:

Chads qty and shape look pretty good on that one.

That card scares me a bit after I read some of the info on BO a few months back. Amazing what can be reproduced on those cards.

Bosox1976 · March 14, 2020 3:18AM

Far from mint, but some nice qualities....

jfkheat · March 14, 2020 4:13PM

I haven't been buying much the last month or so. Some of these were bought last month . I just receivied the 1969 Clemente yesterday. With the addition of the 1970 Stargell, my 1970 HOF set is complete. I need 1 card to complete my 1970 All Star set. The 1963 Fleer cards are all upgrades. The 1969 Clemente is a new addition to the collection.

stwainfan · March 15, 2020 3:42AM

I got my 10.

pdub1819 · March 15, 2020 2:02PM

Here are some non-baseball cards that I just got around to scanning:

1951WheatiesPremium · March 15, 2020 2:11PM

Tough one - Gab on front, Dickey on back....

DBesse27 · March 15, 2020 2:31PM

Awesome, Tim.

For those who don't follow the 2020 Heritage thread, I pulled a Greinke superfractor 1/1 and promptly sold it. Picked up the following cards with part of the proceeds.

First off, I'm thrilled to add this Yaz, which upgrades the PSA 8 I had:

Another 2 point upgrade for another master set:

Hannah was in the nationally-distributed All Star set and the regionally-distributed Patriots set, each of which came in 4 colors. With this card, I now have all 4 colors of his Patriots card in PSA 10. For the All Stars, I have one PSA 8 I still want to upgrade, then I'll be done with his complete McDonald's run.

Lastly, a rough (but really cheap) HOFer for my 68 Venz set:

Rofles · March 15, 2020 4:57PM

My two pick-ups this month:
1971 topps checklist

Up to 135 now for my ‘71 topps set! Looking forward to getting some graded soon!

Also started picking up high grade raw 75’s:

UFFDAH · March 16, 2020 8:56AM

@DBesse27 - AWESOME YAZ!!!

UFFDAH · March 16, 2020 9:09AM

Was lucky to land this incredible 62' Mars Attacks card. Its a POP 3 PSA 9 with none higher. Robot Terror is one of the coolest cards in the set.

krisd3279 · March 16, 2020 9:40AM

That Mars Attacks set is really cool. That card is awesome!

Kid4hof03 · March 16, 2020 9:41AM

@DBesse27 I love that Yaz! Congratulations!

Today was a small PSA mail day at my house and I’m ecstatic with the results. Here are some of the best:

Vagabond · March 16, 2020 5:51PM

Better late than never. This card just continues to trump all. I don't think there's been a more iconic Topps flagship rookie card that has come along since the 2011 Trout Update. This card has everything going for it.

Edit: I dunt spell two gud

stwainfan · March 16, 2020 6:22PM

Thought I got this for a great price.

LarkinCollector · March 16, 2020 7:03PM

Thank you Uncle Rick for misspelling his last name in the listing and allowing me to pick this up at a huge discount ...

That is one sweet card! Thank goodness for spelling problems. It's good to see that Uncle Rick is giving out family discounts to his favorite nephew. If Uncle Rick lists any Joe Louis cards, I just hope he spells Louis as Lewis.😂

NGS428 · March 17, 2020 6:21AM

Another pickup for my 1987-1989 Griffey Showcase. This issue is plagued with centering and tilt issues. This is the best 9 I have seen in a while.

Greedoguy · March 17, 2020 6:59AM

I finally found one that fits my centering preferences:

Nice score! I miss those early ebay days when I was able to find some nice pickups in my Micheal Jordan searches.

2014bestservice · March 17, 2020 8:16AM

I also occasionally will sub some of my hoop stuff. Not really into hoop but bust boxes now and then.
Happy overall with these. All are Pop 1 ( had to create new specs as they were first groups subbed)
All of course being Hall of Famers ( Carter will be). You'd be surprised how many people collect the woman players

Like 1999 Finest items these came 3 ways
A = Non-refractor / Refractor
B = Refractor / Non-Refractor
C = Refractor / Refractor

I wish I had the cash to get one. I am glad I got a bowman chrome before at the beginning of last year. hopefully we will get to watch him play this year with all of the corona virus cases right now baseball is not going to have a season right now.

Nice pickup !! Great time to buy-- certainly not the time I'd list my golf cards. I'm sitting on all my slabbed base, autos, and game used golf until they start playing again. You reminded me I have to scan my recent slabbed golf stuff.

pdub1819 · March 17, 2020 7:11PM

This Jeffries has been hard to get for the price I was willing to pay.

Picked up a blaster at Target for incentives as the boys are now homeschooled. #coronavirus

This came in the special pack:

balco758 · March 17, 2020 7:12PM

Been jonesing for 2nd year MJ for a while. Big a large bullet.

mintonlypls · March 18, 2020 1:14PM

I had to have a '69 Bench in a PSA-9 after my SGC-96 did not cross. Also...I could not resist this '71 Bench PSA-8.5. I just purchased these two cards today.

stwainfan · March 18, 2020 5:09PM

I finished my Glavine rookie set.

stwainfan · March 19, 2020 7:08AM

I just finished my Bob Gibson Topps set.

mintonlypls · March 19, 2020 7:53AM

Beautiful centering on the ‘62 Gibson...

UFFDAH · March 19, 2020 7:58AM

One of my favorites from the set and a recent pickup.
