    Pop. 36 of the gentle HR KING............Bonds ain't quite the same. Is there ever a bad time to pick up a PSA 9 Aaron?

    1963s are tough in high grade because of the colored nameplate. Congrats on a great pickup!

    Add to that centering and PD (frost) and yes 63’s are tuff. Still looking for a nice Berra.

    Very excited by the arrival of this excellent piece of baseball ephemera; this postcard depicts the teams that played in Tokyo, headlined by the American All Stars featuring Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Jimmie Foxx and Connie Mack among many other American League stars, whose facsimile signatures adorn the cards and help to identify them. A marvelous piece of history and a nice companion for my Babe Ruth card from the same tour…

    This one is elusive to say the least…

    Curious about the rare, mysterious and beautiful 1951 Wheaties Premium Photos?

    @Rofles I've always enjoyed picking up old Sports Illustrated, Sport Magazine, etc from garage sales, antique malls, and flea markets. The photography is a big draw, and the articles oftentimes contain little nuggets that seem to have been lost to history. One example is when I read that the Royals were one of the final teams in on Pete Rose's free agency when he left the Reds for the Phillies. Another was that the Royals and Orioles had discussed with some seriousness the parameters of a Jim Palmer trade in the early 70s. I had never heard either of those rumors before. Some of the print advertisements can be absurdly funny, too, when viewed through today's lens.

    It’s definitely been a blast reading through it! Advertisements are definitely funny, AND I’ve learned SO MUCH too about players I love! I will definitely be going back to get others! Lol

    Who wants to see some Disco/funk additions to my collection? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller? Bueller?

    Was described as all being VG+. Yeah, not quiet but price was cheap (shipping cost more then the records). Bonus is it features the famous American Werewolf in London, David Naughton.

    Great job of packing. Opened it up and, HOLY SCHNIKES, a pizza!

    Reality set in and no pizza. Just a stupid empty box. :'(

    Records in the lot with grades I gave

    David Naughton - Makin It (VG+ needs cleaning but plays great)
    Tasha Thomas – Shoot Me (With Your Love) 12inch single (VG+ after cleaning)
    The Salsoul Orchestra - Up The Yellow Brick Road (VG+ Minimal noise in quieter sections CRC Columbia Record Club sticker on back/not listed on Discogs)
    The Salsoul Orchestra - Salsoul Orchestra (VG+ Needs cleaning but plays with minimal noise)
    Fever – Standing In The Shadows Of Love 12inch single (VG+ Needs cleaning. Label variation not listed on Discogs)
    John Kasandra - Color Me Human (VG+ record/G+ Cover Mono Promo version/Cover shelf wear, 4 seam splits)

    Kool And The Gang - Ladies Night (VG pops and clicks throughout. Visual defects as well)
    Thelma Houston & Jerry Butler ‎– Two To One (VG Crackles at the start but gets better as it plays)
    Love Rock - Various (Ronco) (VG Snap, crackle and pop)
    The Brothers Johnson ‎– Blam!! (VG surface noise/clickety crackle in quiet sections)

    The Brothers Johnson ‎– Right On Time (G+ Lots of loud clicks but good sound when not being overpowered by the clicks)

    Morris Jefferson – Spank Your Blank Blank 12inch single (Poor Scratches and scuffs/lots of noise. Label variation not on Discogs) from the album of the same name

    https://www.discogs.com/master/104816-Morris-Jefferson-Spank-Your-Blank-Blank

    Before and after cleaning.

    Pics of the lot.


    The final 6 above were empty covers thrown in as padding.

    Cool lot of stuff I didn't have with most being playable but such a crap shoot buying vinyl online.

    Edited to add:

    And this showed up today.

    $4.14 delivered and fits my collecting needs just fine.

    Love that 76 rack - favorite year as a kid and color is outstanding.

    Bought this one last night - price was right and not sure why it is the grade it is but saved me a few $$.

    Stunner! What am I not seeing that warrants the grade?

    Ya they are tough for sure. 800 set means you get one every second box and I’ve ripped cases and never hit a real blazer

    It was in the Westchester Marriott. I guess it’s considered Tarrytown.

    Sweet 76 rack - my favorite issue.

    Picked up some modern at a great price, and once it goes up sell to buy more vintage 😉

    Beautiful Mantle. All of the flaws have nothing to do with the quality of the photo. The color, focus , and corners are super. I just received one back from PSA similar to yours. Instead of the print line, mine has a small smuge at the top left. Mine got a 6 and I am super happy . I think yours could get a 7 , or mabe a 6.5 depending on the mood of the grader.
