Some more rookie additions. I've been looking for a centered PSA 7 Perez for years. I've had to much time on my hands lately.

Nice Hit Man and Perez

This mail day is brought to you by Carson Wentz and Christian McCaffrey PSA 10 RCs I sold to pay for them

Coarsegold · May 22, 2020 12:12PM

Added this to my boys HOF RC Collection.

brad31 · May 22, 2020 1:29PM

Love the Belfour - strange seeing him wearing #31 and donning a plain white helmet.

stwainfan · May 22, 2020 1:30PM

One of the best to play.

LGC · May 22, 2020 1:44PM

I have looked at this for months and another CU member's addition this month convinced me that it was time to pull the trigger.

Mphilking · May 22, 2020 2:10PM

LOL, Glad they both could help out in your purchase of two AWESOME rookies!!

80sOPC · May 22, 2020 3:22PM

Beauty card! I trust you have compared this one to the trimmed one that UFFDAH bought last year from PWCC. Not saying it looks trimmed but there are only so many of these. I trust the PWCC card was destroyed but who knows.

A few more beauties for my favorite Cuban set...

@LGC - iconic card. Congratz!!

Hi 80sOPC. I understand from other collectors that the suspect card called into question was not trimmed, but rather was cleaned/re-colored of production spots. There is always risk of alteration, but I trust the dealer/seller and I actually see a production spot or two on this copy that did not hold me back from buying this.

@UFFDAH: Thanks for showing your copy. It was motivation for me to move on something that does not become available often.

@LGC wins the thread. Great card of my favorite player when I was 6, 7 years old

DBesse27 · May 22, 2020 5:08PM

That Dryden is off the chain!

Dawson postcard is really cool too, love team issues I haven’t seen before.

Piggs · May 22, 2020 6:22PM

What's a vintage card guy like me doing posting a Mike Trout rookie? Hell I don't know who I am anymore. Anyways, I buy a few packs of cards from Target every year and throw the cards in a box. I went through the box of 2010 to 2019 Topps cards weeks ago and WHALA! Out of 30 2011 US cards I had there sat a Trout rookie. Haa Haa just got it back from PSA yesterday. My weekend is made!

DBesse27 · May 22, 2020 7:32PM

Awesome to discover a Trout you didn’t know you had!

dictoresno1 · May 22, 2020 11:55PM

so I couldn't resist, picked up another ITP Wade in addition to the one I posted earlier in the month (new one on the right). And I guess I wasn't the only person picking up Strawberry this month either.

dad2cl3 · May 23, 2020 10:02AM

@doubledragon here it is. I believe this is his 1948 appearance.

1951WheatiesPremium · May 23, 2020 10:17AM

With all the excitement over the modern PSA 10 stuff lately, sometimes that creates value in other sectors. I like all baseball cards; vintage to modern so long as it is beautiful, significant and, preferably, Yankees though that’s not a requirement. As many are aware, I am a firm believer that you can still have a lot of fun with lower grade cards, too. Like this card. It is beat up. Bad. And that was reflected in the price. And yet, I think if you choose to see it, there is great beauty, too, present. Maybe it was it in a wallet or the spokes of some kid from Brooklyn who loved ‘dem Bums? It was well loved and well traveled. Saw some action. Just adds to the appeal. And all I know is this: this man is one of the more important figures in American history, not just baseball history. So, I’ll take his rookie card in no doubt poor condition and admire its beauty anyway.

Oh, sweet! That is awesome! You can never go wrong with rarity, and that is a true rarity. I'm glad to see it made it to you safely. Congrats Jason!

2010 Ringside Gold Joe Louis. This card is numbered 1/9

KendallCat · May 25, 2020 8:53AM

Pulled this one over the weekend out of a jumbo box.

Bought this one in a private deal from my favorite year as a kid.

JoeBanzai · May 26, 2020 6:00PM

Decided that after defending him on the message boards, I needed a Walker rookie!

stwainfan · May 26, 2020 6:05PM

Why is it when this guys name left off? When people talk about the GOAT.

Some of us try to make sure he gets his due.

doubledragon · May 26, 2020 8:50PM

They tried to rip Joe away from me in the closing seconds of the auction! I want you to know they failed!

I put him in there, but I like Wilt a little more.

krisd3279 · May 27, 2020 7:38AM

I didn't have one of these yet so I picked one up.

DBesse27 · May 27, 2020 9:54AM

Latest addition to my Yaz master set:

lilmule · May 27, 2020 10:15AM

Sold My last Ryan to someone who really really needed the old label for his collection, but of course had some regrets so I picked up this one.

JBrules · May 27, 2020 10:36AM

Slowly closing in on finishing my collection...here is my latest pickup. 12 cards and 1 1960s wax pack to go.

The color and focus on that Mays is as good as it gets. Awesome pickup. Congrats.

pjb103183 · May 27, 2020 2:01PM

Stoked to have this bad ass Rickey rack!

remedylane · May 27, 2020 6:40PM

Been busy and just getting around to posting. Got one for my 48 leaf boxing set. 8 to go! And 3 for my baseball greats collection. The Seaver is a BGS 6.5. I am in love with the 1970 topps Clemente and Jackson. Great looking cards for the grade. I'd argue the Clemente looks better than the Jackson a full grade lower.

Nice scans! And cards!

UFFDAH · May 28, 2020 6:56AM

Recent pickup back from BBCE Authenticating/Wrapping

When I first saw this rack my reaction was "That's Incredible" !!

Fran is the Man but what else is neat is another collector pointed out to me that Fred Cox is the original inventor of the Nerf Football!! He is also the Viking's all time leading scorer.

Two NFL players that had major positive impacts both on and off the field making this a special rack.

If your a Viking fan....Led Zeppelin's "Immigrant Song" and a big horn of Beer to chug would be fitting to go with this rack!

mrpeanut39 · May 28, 2020 7:41AM

Horst Muhlmann too!

2014bestservice · May 28, 2020 9:25AM

A bunch from 2001 Finest I'll be sending in for the newest slab type soon. Slowly finishing up Finest sets I started years ago
Quite a few of these are low pop cards I picked up VERY cheaply and with the exception of Clemens all Pop 4 or less.I plan on trying to cross that 2001 finest over to my BGS Clemens registry More to follow just getting some scan time in so I get away from entries for a while and clean up my floor some more

I couldn't help buy these Red Sox 2018 Topps Now Gold versions the price was too good to pass up
The Thomas PSA 9 is a recent return the PSA 10 the slab label finally got fixed
Think this is my 20th PSA 9 in a row of Vaughn have enough now to do a complete PSA 9 registry
Happy about that Chipper / Andruw dual slabbed it for resale !!

Kid4hof03 · May 28, 2020 3:41PM

I've been putting together the 1987 Quaker Sports Illustrated mini-poster set for a while, reaching the end. @erikthredd helped me out this week with the Jordan, it's not only great to knock this off my list but to also have something from a player collection that I really admire makes it even nicer. Eric also threw in a very cool early 90's Nike Air Force One advertising card for my David Robinson collection.

erikthredd · May 28, 2020 3:49PM

Abe,I'd love to see that Quaker set if you ever get a chance to upload the pics someday.

Absolutely, I'll work on that this weekend.

Excited to add this to my collection is an understatement! This will take a seat on my Mount Rushmore of cards!
