Card of the Day

Could new magnetic loaders constitute as a “Card of the Day”?

Hey 51Wheaties,
Awesome job with your cuts!

Thank you, kindly. It’s a chance to be creative and flex some artistic muscles and as such, I really enjoy working with such items. I do like to be clear, though, that I don’t ever even consider doing this to a baseball card that isn’t considered hand cut.

To stick with the theme, I think this card may be in the thread already but it is the highest grade I have ever received for a hand cut card, it is a really unique and beautiful looking item (if I do say so myself 😂) and it is also currently the single highest graded example. While I imagine it is likely to be beat one day, it’s one of the items in my Mantle collection that I am always going to be proud of because I had a hand in shaping its appearance - with little guidance as to proper specifications - and someone besides myself deemed it the best they’ve ever seen, also, and slabbed it as such out in Newport Beach, CA…

hey 51Wheaties,
Your hand cuts are truly a work of art; they are just perfect and that's something to be proud of!
That 68 Mantle Box Cut Out is my All-Time favaorite that you have showed.

A pretty good portrait of one of the most skilled ball players ever…

Thanks! I like the cool pictures in this set. The Hendrix comes with two different back options (Cantanti and Bisvalida). I used to have a nice graded Doors card from the same set. Still wish I hadn't parted with that one...

There’s no denying it’s a great looking card.

For the team I root for, often, the way the team plays defense determines their success. It is their identity as a franchise and they can lay claim to one of the best to have laced them up from any era. Speed and power are germane to football; what set this man apart was a ferocity not often seen in sports. Therefore, I think there’s no better quote than his own to describe the way he played the game:

“Hey, baby, let’s go out there like a bunch of crazed dogs and have some fun.”

Thank you sincerely once again, @76collector , for this stunning copy. I know you thought it could have been a 9. But even that seems low to me. 😁

My Avatar and Forum Name refers to my greatest childhood football card memories residing with the 1982 Wax Pack but my favorite looking all-time Football Wax is 1973, and Foolball is one of my favorite Wacky's.

Here they are together again for the first time...

was not able to get a clean scan of the wax this was best of 5 attempts and has weird refraction on left and right

Oh My, That's Very Nice!

Yeah, Jeets!

possibly the most condition sensitive non-insert rookie card of the entire 1990's decade. Given that IMHO it's THE Baseball card of the decade.

Hey 51Wheaties,
Your 34 Quaker Oats is Pretty Cool

Speaks for itself, don't it....

Love the posts.
I think Ernie is on everyone's favs list.

Well, really two cards. Matched set with consecutive cert numbers. Hoping thse will really help supplement my retirement in a few years (assuming I live that long).

I purchased mine back in 2004. I submitted it to Beckett a few years ago, and I was told that the top of the card was trimmed. I had never felt so sick to my stomach in all of my life.

Do you have it still? And do you have a scan of it?

The MJ and Joe D are both tremendous!

Anyone ever seen Blue Chips? Here’s a great story from that film set; a better movie than it gets credit for being. There’s a solid scene in the movie between the coach (Nick Nolte) and his friend and Athletic Director (Bob Cousy) wherein they’re discussing the program. I don’t want to spoil the movie but Nolte is confessing to Cousy about some program infractions but doing it like a child who is ‘asking for a friend’ when, in truth, they’re really asking for themselves. In addition to being perhaps the best scene of the movie, it featured something rather amazing. While it was supposed to be a seated chat, Nick Nolte wanted to show that he was a good athlete and suggested they shoot free throws instead. So he told Bob to shoot first and then he’d go. Well, if you’ve seen the movie, Nolte never shoots.

Bob Cousy, at 65 years old, made 21 free throws in a row.

Here he is as a rookie in 1951:

Two incredible sluggers on one incredible card…

@blurryface

Really, really amazing cards. You know which one I’m partial to, I am sure. Great stuff. Keep it coming!

Please stop posting nice signed Mantle and Aaron cards.
I'm drooling all over my computer desk and its messy now

Thanks for the compliment but mine was the unsigned one that kicked it off. The drool worthy ones came from @blurryface and his amazing collection.

But, new day, new card(s). While these are not too tough to find, this was the first time I saw them with their distribution method with the original envelope:

The Mantle has a few dimples from being pressed against the metal tabs used to seal the envelope.

For today, a beautiful card of Hammerin’ Hank…

Hi,

Hey 51Wheaties.
