Nice choice of card, this was.

Great player, Patrick Mahomes is.

Great talent and bright future, I sense for him.

😉

A nice 2nd year card.

When I was a kid I collected Palmer because he was an affordable HOF. The 67 and 69 were my two favorites.

I have his rookie. I thought this would be a good addition to my collection. I found it at a good price.

Agree on Palmer. HOF pitchers in general are a bargain - outside of Nolan Ryan they are much cheaper than comparable position players from their era. Love collecting them. Nice Palmer!

Just got these in both are for player sets The Cannon is an upgrade of a complete set the Unitas gets me to 68.42% with an average grade of 7.137

I dig the 60 Fleer Billy Cannon; yeah that one is cool.

rmh111985 · December 10, 2020 8:39PM

Another for the Hockey HOF set:

DBesse27 · December 10, 2020 8:40PM

Back when I collected hockey cards, I had that whole Czech set. Brings back memories!

BigMike79 · December 11, 2020 3:10PM

Few more added to the 2000 Penalty Minute set i sent in to PSA to start up

Love that Probert!! He was fun to watch in Detroit.

JBrules · December 11, 2020 6:43PM

Landed this nice looking rookie of Bobby Orr.

Paper loss?

In4apenny · December 11, 2020 8:43PM

Imagine 4 long cardboard boxes with 1987 Topps Baseball Factory sets inside. Plan is to pop one set, replace all the rejects with better examples, keep the rejects with along side the set. All four sets bought from a local BCS.

No paper loss just some tape on the back.

Congrats with scoring an 8 with the tape on the back qualifier!
That's a beauty for a fraction of the price.

rexvos · December 12, 2020 6:49AM

A buddy of mine knew I collected him and found this gem for me. He gave it to me last night as I was helping him sort through some of his stuff.

UFFDAH · December 12, 2020 9:23AM

@JBrules - that is a stunning Orr. Congratz!!

Thanks. Every so often I find an iconic card in low grade that looks much better.

Thanks. I've been a hockey fight fan since i was a kid. Im sure there would be some other collectors who would get involced collecting the bruisers.

Lots of players with 2000 Pims got their first card in the 1990 year, with the expansion to several new companies, Pro Set, Upper Deck etc...

To finish the set, one would have to submit a lot of common cards of Rob Ray and Mick Vukota types.
Still would be fun i think

erba · December 12, 2020 12:34PM

Love seeing the hockey here. I'll add one that I picked up this week.

NGS428 · December 12, 2020 1:05PM

4x WS Champ, 5x Silver Slugger, 5x All-Star, his #20 retired by the Yankees. Drafted a Yankee, 17 years with the club and retired as a Yankee.

lwehlers · December 12, 2020 6:15PM

i been wanting a sheffield psa rookie awhile.

BJY83 · December 12, 2020 9:14PM

Beautiful Orr. I don't know if I have the self control to not crack that out and try to remove that tape.

My favorite hockey set, awesome uniforms, and a HOF RC to boot.... always loved that card. Great 10!

Major void filled in my collection of players I grew up watching.

51 Super nice WL Mantle
AS I collect Yankee Team sets that card has eluded me for a long time.
Maybe some day. I love the 61 Johnny U and 60 Cannon

balco758 · December 13, 2020 5:30AM

No photos yet but picked up:

(2) 87 OPC Bonds PSA 8
(12) 82 T Grocery Packs
83 OPC Wax PSA with Gwynn on top

Taking a little flyer on the Bonds. Higher grades too expensive!

dad2cl3 · December 13, 2020 2:57PM

Another raw acquisition from the 1934 Mitchell & Sons Scottish Footballers set. This might be Tommy Walker’s first card as he was signed by Hearts at the age of 17 and debuted for them in 1932.

It is such a great looking set. Neely is my favorite player and I have a few of these (Plus 4 autographed copies), just nothing close to a 10. Figured I'd grab one before prices explode.

Great addition. If the centering left-right was just a little better that card is an 8 all day. Great looking 7.

Rofles · December 13, 2020 8:35PM

Some pickups for me this month:

The 2 I got from the probstein recently:

Been a good month so far!

mattyc_collection · December 14, 2020 12:19AM

Brand new crystal clear holder for the Ryan Express and some others, two bumps on autos — and landed a mint to gem mint true rookie of The Babe Ruth of basketball. Xmas a little early.

countdouglas · December 14, 2020 2:28AM

@Rofles That's a nice looking Clarke! I picked up one over the summer, as it was one of the last 10 or so that I needed to complete a raw set. You did well! You really found a clean card. Almost all that I found had the blue spot on his shoulder. It's not really even noticeable on yours unless you're specifically looking for it. And many also had the stray black ink down in his rib area that mine has. You seem to have avoided that, as well. Great card! Here's mine for comparison.

Have you had a chance to check out any of the new local card shops? Would love to get your reviews of the ones I have yet to visit.

Norcal · December 14, 2020 9:52AM

Just got back my first Mantle, happy with the grading but do you think I should of tried to make a better cut? Opinions? Thanks.

I think when you get a numeric grade on a hand cut grade, you go to a quiet place with Balki Bartakamous, do the Dance of Joy, and go about your day.

But that is just me.

Killer Mantle, bud!

Thank ya sir! I have! I went to the new one you mentioned here in Olathe. He has a great selection from vintage to ultra modern! Has PSA packs for sale, authenticated racks, etc. he has some lose vintage to look through too. He has an OC ‘72 Clemente that has sharp corners for 17$ I think? Very reasonable prices and VERY knowledgeable! Great guy and great sports talk! It would be worth going when
You get a chance! Also has a ton of hand-collated sets to choose from! If you have something in mind your looking fo I can swing by and take a look!
Oh and has a great selection of PSA cards too! Lemme know!

rookiecardfan · December 14, 2020 2:04PM

Megaton Rc refractor and Tony the thrill Hill. Drew Pearson received a lot of the accolades back then but Hill was a heck of a receiver himself. Also picked up a 90 Pro Set box at a local flea market for $12 and was happy to pull a couple Emmitt’s
