May 2020 pickups - show em!

BPorter26 · May 6, 2020 4:11PM

Basketball theme for me in the month of May. I added this 88 Fleer pack to my run. The MJ AS pack also has a Reggie Miller RC inside the pack. When you grow up in the 80’s and especially in New England, Larry was like a God when he played. I picked up his debut / 1st NBA all-star game signed ticket and to boot it was Magic’s debut AS game. He signed the ticket as well.

remedylane · May 6, 2020 4:17PM

Remember last month when i said my wife was gonna kill me? I'm still alive. Still working on my base ball greats. First a 58 Hank Aaron. Looked at several that were a grade higher and cheaper. But buy the card not the holder right? This one blew the others away. And a Martinez rookies. Still hate Beckett holders.

robert67 · May 6, 2020 7:51PM

Added this one after watching the Last Dance episode with him as a 19 year old All Star.

Kid4hof03 · May 7, 2020 7:19AM

@BPorter26 Bobby, that all star game ticket is incredible!

Blindmelon5 · May 7, 2020 8:14AM

My white whale. Finally

DBesse27 · May 7, 2020 8:56AM

Love the Piazza!

Big mail day. You could even say jumbo...
( ETA: I replaced my crappy photos with the spectacular looking PSA scans. )

orioles93 · May 7, 2020 1:26PM

A few more modern additions to the rookie collection.

Thank you kindly, Chris.

For the record, I think that with the respect to the grade of ‘Poor’ on the ‘56 Action Pictures, it’s possible that a mistake was made. There’s not a rip, a tear or a crease to be found. Soft corners and a few indents but it just looks ridiculous in a PSA 1 holder when I’ve seen pinholed cards get 1.5 and even the occasional 2.

erikthredd · May 7, 2020 5:46PM

Got in a few big maildays this week. I downgraded from my 87 & 88 Fleer Sticker PSA 9's to these two 8's below that looked just as good as the 9's then used the profits to add the rest to my PC.

These next two will both get cracked and subbed to PSA,I loved the centering on both. The All-Star card was .5 away from grading Gem Mint and I'm really looking forward to see how it grades out with PSA.

These last two I'm probably going to try crossing to PSA 8. The 87 sticker has three 9.5 subgrades w/ a 7.5 on surface so i'm hopeful that It will come back an 8. The Magnetables is just a really tough set to grade high seeing that it's actually a magnet but this one looks real nice,front & back,so we'll see how that goes.

PNWcollector · May 7, 2020 7:40PM

this was an April pick-up, I was just slow to scan.

2014bestservice · May 7, 2020 11:07PM

Awesome mantles and Jordans

@orioles93 what did the Rolen run you been looking at an acceptable price range to buy my own copy. Was that the one I saw on ebay couple weeks ago ?

rugbymarine · May 8, 2020 5:40AM

Cards have been on the back burner for a while, but got this beauty last week!

1979 Topps Football Cello Pack with Gary Fencik on Top

hyperchipper09 · May 8, 2020 9:23AM

Card related. Scanning time..

DBesse27 · May 8, 2020 9:24AM

Awesome! That’s a great scanner.

Greedoguy · May 8, 2020 10:27AM

Not a big money collection add, but boy, this guy was FUN to watch play...

Greedoguy · May 8, 2020 10:29AM

Maple Leaf icon....

80sOPC · May 8, 2020 11:20AM

Love that Wendy. One of my fabe hockey cards from the 80s - Wendel was a beast

rexvos · May 8, 2020 4:04PM

Got these along with the rest of the action set in today, but they already have seen a quick turnaround headed to Newport Beach in multiple subs sent out today

Please excuse cell phone pics. Just took a quick snap before packaging

stwainfan · May 8, 2020 5:17PM

I now have all my Bob Lilly cards for my set.

erikthredd · May 8, 2020 5:57PM

Here are two more recent pickups. This first one is a 1985 Nike Air Jordan 6x8 Promo card. there were two versions,one with the fascimile autograph and one without. They were distributed one card inside of each box when you purchased a pair Nike's Air Jordan's sneakers. These were also given away to MJ fans that had sent Mike an autograph request thru the mailduring that era. Unfortunately this one does have some creases but overall I'm just happy to finally own one.

I also grabbed this 87 Entenmann's PSA 9 after selling my PSA 8 awhile back.

Eavdr10 · May 8, 2020 7:05PM

I was about to jump on the 87 Traded Tiffany Maddux just a few weeks ago. Decided to hold off. Bad move. These cards, like most of the 80’s, have shot up. Settled for the basic Topps. Still love it! I didn’t collect Tiffany as a kid, so the base Topps means just a little more to the nostalgic collector in me.

NGS428 · May 8, 2020 7:46PM

Couple more for my 1987-1989 showcase set. Great cards here on this thread!

Darn inner sleeve on that 1989 Star.. Not a scanner's friend..

brad31 · May 8, 2020 10:28PM

Two more for my '61 HOF set with the Dodger Southpaws pulling double duty to getting every Topps multi-player card from the 50's and 60's with at least one HOF.

Moonman · May 8, 2020 10:41PM

dad2cl3 · May 9, 2020 4:32AM

Grabbed this set upgrade for a very reasonable price!

Grabbed this crossover candidate for another set. Don’t think it will gem though so on the fence about sending.

Kid4hof03 · May 9, 2020 8:51AM

Picked up a couple of tough Bernie Williams cards this week:

Another 1998 Topps Sportzcubz from Shane, hard to resist a rare 90's card like this

2005 Finest Gold XFractor 10/10

orioles93 · May 9, 2020 1:45PM

2014bestservice · May 10, 2020 10:45AM

@orioles93 appreciated the PM about the Rolen thanks !!

Some recent slabs back all football from a box I broke with John (jpcz). Decided to send them in and see what happened.
The Smith Blue Shimmer # to 10 was going to be a surprise gift to a collector except he died of Covid19-- the only person I personally know who has even gotten sick much less died from it. The Love Green Scope auto # to 75 was going to another collector who does Giants, who then decided I should keep it and resell. So I'l be reselling them all.

The Gradner Minshew hoping the season starts soon.

DBesse27 · May 10, 2020 11:12AM

Minshew and Roquan dimes are nice hits.

LGC · May 10, 2020 12:23PM

A few hockey added and a new baseball card strayed into my collection - only because he is a young Canuck.

Mphilking · May 10, 2020 1:26PM

BEAUTIFUL 1970 OPC Bobby Orr! Congratulations.

Just received 50 Topps Project 2020 MIKE TROUT Angels No. 35 SP Andrew Thiele. Nice long term hold. This is the second Trout for the project.

stwainfan · May 11, 2020 1:09PM

For my Carlton set.

hankcaddy · May 11, 2020 1:11PM

A few more for my phillies team set

Horse · May 11, 2020 1:20PM

The Phillies like to yell a lot !

hankcaddy · May 11, 2020 1:32PM

That is correct

VoteDizzy · May 11, 2020 3:38PM

I couldn't pass this one up. Maybe because it was originally owned by another Jason or maybe because my wife and I have been rewatching The Golden Girls for the umpteenth time while in self-quarantine. Either way, it's a winner in my book!

orioles93 · May 11, 2020 3:49PM

Three new rookie additions. The Kent has been elusive to me for quite some time with there only being 117 PSA 10s out there. Decided the length I've waited was worth overpaying for it by about $20.

I picked up 2 1979 Topps football cello packs for my collection, one with Payton Record Breaker on top and the other with Roger Staubach on back. The Payton pack also has Ted Hendricks on the back, a double hall of fame pack is pretty cool.

Nice Ted "The Stork" Hendricks pack.

Once in a while a needle in a haystack surfaces!!!

Happy to add these rare unopened packs to my collection!!

I loved watching Hogan's Heroes re-runs after school back in the day. Every kid wanted a stump that led to a network of tunnels!!

An iconic TV Show crossed over to cards.

Sharp looking packs. To kind of quote Sgt. Schultz:"I see nothing(wrong with those packs)".

JakeR2234 · May 12, 2020 7:59AM

1977 Payton Auto- Appears to be an older auto of his which I like. Couldn't pass up my favorite card with a beautiful autograph of Sweetness.

Man, that brings me back to watching Hogan's Heroes as a kid. Can you imagine trying to make a COMEDY about WWII/The Holocaust today? No chance.

Love this thread!

UFFDAH · May 12, 2020 9:13AM

A recent pickup for my Jordan run.

DBesse27 · May 12, 2020 10:34AM

Purchased these 2 from @flatfoot816 . The Shirriff is a new one for me and the team issue is a big upgrade over my PSA 6. Thanks for the deal, Manny!

DJJazzBass · May 12, 2020 11:26AM

Many of these are May pickups, including the 2nd cabinet.
1948 Leaf Football. Complete 1st Series, 1-49. 20 of the 2nd 49.
