As a Pirates fan, I have always had an affinity for Clemente, but I have never invested in his cards. This is my first one and only 91 higher at PSA (35 at 8.5 and 56 at 9)... Love the color and preservation in general on this card.

Congratulations! That's a beautiful card.

Arsonisty · April 13, 2021 4:30AM

Recently bought this

not sure if its a steal since no previous sales record, but paid $100 for this

countdouglas · April 13, 2021 11:56AM

Picked this up at a card show over the weekend. While I also bought a handful of random raw cards, this Stolen Base Leaders card was the only graded card that I purchased while there. I don't usually target 10s for my 70s sets, but couldn't pass it up for the price.

Chump change for this thread, but given his recent passing and extensive career in broadcasting, I liked this one with a reporter interviewing him with a microphone visible.

I've always liked that card, too, for pretty much the same reason.

NGS428 · April 13, 2021 7:08PM

Thanks for a smooth transaction @rexvos !

6X All-Star, AL ROY, Silver Slugger, 2x Batting Champion, .313 Lifetime Average, Batted .372 in 2000, I think he is still getting ready for the next pitch.. "Nomah"!

dictoresno · April 13, 2021 10:47PM

I have some of these from this set out for grading, but decided to pick up this one since 1.) these acetate translucent cards can be tough and the one I own isn't in top condition for subbing and 2.) graded copies dont come up often.

I also picked up this pretty much gem mint worthy copy after seeing another member post theirs up here. love these early comic hologram cards. these are usually scuffed, beat up and off center. this was the best copy ive ever seen.

sayheywyo · April 14, 2021 4:07AM

Early AM purchase... losing focus??

countdouglas · April 14, 2021 8:39AM

Added this 86 Topps grocery rack with the ultra rare upside down Jose Uribe to the unopened collection. Uribe has an 85 Fleer Update card and an 85 Topps Traded, but it's his first Topps base card and this minty, pack fresh, upside down version is certainly much, much more valuable than the also popular 1990 Fleer Jose Uribe. Sorry, but please do not inundate me with offers, it's not for sale...😉

Stop what you are doing and go buy a lotto ticket!

brad31 · April 14, 2021 11:09AM

Both purchases this month are for HOF sets I am working on.

Ecstatic to get Ashburn, as this one never comes up for sale. The last non-PWCC sale listed in the auction history is from 2017 for a PSA 8. As someone who will not do business with PWCC after their trimming scandal - this has been a hard one to find. Even PWCC has only had two available since 2017. Two of the 8s out there that surface every couple of years have issues on the back that would bother me too much to buy (one is stained and one is off-center to the point you can see the card next to it). My patience on this one has paid off! The scratch running horizontally toward the lower left is on the holder not the card. Down to 4 left - Boudreau, Wynn, Conlan and Cal Hubbard (who for some reason is not included on the registry set checklist even though he is the only person to be in both the baseball and football hall of fame).

The Jenkins is a really tough '68 and I now have 50 cards in the '68 HOF set. I have never scene a centered copy and after two 9s surfaced that were as off-center as the 8s I have looked at - I decided to go with a PSA 8 for my set.

Chargers49ersLakers · April 14, 2021 12:41PM

I am like .03% or .04% something like that from being the #2 combo set. Where I am at on the registry is a side effect of my love for Star Trek. If I was last on the list, fine with me. I just want to get the best combo set I can get, and where it ends up in base card, stickers, and combo set, so be it!

BEAM ME UP SCOTTY!!! NO INTELLIGENT LIFE ON THIS PLANET EARTH!!!

On every card, pretty much, Doc always looks like he is having a stroke. Gotta love it.

Justfishinjj · April 14, 2021 12:55PM

Sorry, don't post much, but here is what I have picked up lately!

tomg1977 · April 14, 2021 1:10PM

Picked up a Quinn Hughes YG, and a couple of art cards from a friend. The Brodeur is from a photo I had taken.

1951WheatiesPremium · April 14, 2021 1:15PM

More for the Jasson pile, this time a numbered Panini...

You are clearly trying to pull a fast one - when making Baseball right-side up on the pack - it is simply a rare version of upside down HOFer Jim Rice - nowhere near the ballplayer Uribe was. Those of you giving unsolicited offers beware!

brad31 · April 14, 2021 1:34PM

Really nice '61 Mays Justfishinjj

To my horror, you are correct! Alarm bells should have gone off with only a $8,686.86 asking price. Lesson learned - If something seems to good to be true, it probably is. Do you think PayPal will help me on this?...😉

Thanks Brad- planning to get it graded. It’s sharp!

yankeesman · April 14, 2021 4:17PM

I've been collecting the Topps Rookie Cup cards autographed for about 5 years now and am down to about 20 left I don't have a signed version of the card and countdouglas was gracious enough to take another one off the list! Got this beauty in the mail today and quickly added it to the website to take off the "Coming Soon" gif. Thanks again to Doug for a great story and a great card!

WFFL · April 14, 2021 5:27PM

Enjoyed @yankeesman questfortherookiecup.com collection. Neat idea.

At least his helmet on this card doesn't make him look like he's twelve.

If you think that’s bad, in 2019 the way he looked almost gave me the urge watch House Party!

Almost.

A box with the future of the NFL in it is as good anything here, my good man.

I can get down on Mickey Mantle or Mickey Mouse; collect whatever you like. I can guarantee there will be nothing as weird as these four cards:

Kid4hof03 · April 15, 2021 6:03AM

Another Cowboys pack this week

Good eye!

These are my babies!!!!!!

1946 Propagandas Montiel

Boxers, major baseball players, a few wrestlers and a tennis player and then minor league players round out the set.

UFFDAH · April 15, 2021 9:15AM

I figured buying this case would be a slam "Duncan".........

1951WheatiesPremium · April 15, 2021 9:59AM

I don't think I need to add much other than to say that at 125-50, this was the greatest team, record wise, to ever win a World Series.

SoxPatsFan · April 15, 2021 10:08AM

Parallels from hot 1990's sets. Future PSA submissions. 1996 Topps Chrome Refractors are super difficult to find centered.

stwainfan · April 15, 2021 12:33PM

I finished my Don Perkins set. That's the 7th ring of honor player set I have finished.

hankcaddy · April 15, 2021 2:13PM

Added one more for my 79 team

Rofles · April 15, 2021 3:35PM

Nice pick up for my 76 set today! Might super-express it, not sure yet. Corners are sharp, just a bad angle. Lol

azvike · April 15, 2021 3:41PM

Just curious...why would you use super express?

Sorry tired. The 300$ sub.

azvike · April 15, 2021 5:03PM

so you want to pay $300 to grade that card?...you need a 9 to make anything...

@azvike said:

Who’s to say I’m gonna sell it? I love the look and design of the 1976 card, and I add to my ‘76 set from time to time. I like having my cards in PSA holders, So yeah, I think I will spend $300 have it graded now. Not everything is about money. If I gotta spend $300 to have ONE card graded, I’m ok with that. Sheesh.

1951WheatiesPremium · April 15, 2021 5:55PM

@azvike said:

...or maybe he just wants the card back in a reasonable time frame.

Right now, it’s pretty much $300 or bust.

What do you know about that gardner Mantle game? I have one without the photo and record. I messaged a member on the board here who I thought might know but never got a reply. Nice looking '61 Mays also.

Was it me? Someone asked me recently and I did reply but maybe I messed up.

What do you need?
