I almost bid against you on that 74 Aaron, but got distracted and completely forgot about the auction. When I logged on it was already gone.

Congratulations. Super-sweet card.

Bosox1976 · March 7, 2023 4:26PM

Wow - super nice Aaron (and Mick)!

Stone193 · March 7, 2023 6:10PM

I got lucky on the 2nd of the Throwback Thursday Topps Star Wars set of 3 cards.

Reported that every 20th purchaser of the set will get included some kind of SP.

Well, I hit a 5/5 Boba Fett!

Not sure how but the scanner didn't pick up the "/" in 5/5?

Scanner is back up and functional again after being down for several months. I hope that I am not posting cards again (having previously used scans from seller)...if so, I apologize. Here are relatively recent pick ups...I know the 1974 Aaron has never been posted since it is a PWCC purchase.

That 74 Aaron is stunning! That's one of my favorite cards.

Quirky card show pick up. Commemorative 50th anniversary set for the 1953 St Louis Browns. Nice add for my Roy Sievers collection.

mintonlypls · March 8, 2023 5:06PM

Here are two (2) additional cards, which I have not posted before (Jackie Robinson has not been posted for sure since it is again a PWCC purchase). I retrieved the cards from a safety deposit box this afternoon. These two (2) cards bring me up to date sharing my relatively recent purchases.

Those are stunning....thank you for sharing. Safety deposit box is certainly warranted!

brad31 · March 9, 2023 6:54AM

Wow those are two beauties. You definitely have an eye for amazing cards.

azvike · March 9, 2023 7:31AM

Is it just my eyes, or does the top back of the Jackie card look "wavy"...trimmed?...Maybe its just the scan...

mintonlypls · March 9, 2023 8:33AM

I think that it is the card up against the frame of the holder…it measures correctly for a 1955 Topps card size…measured in several places (left, center and right side of the card).

Didn’t know you’re a Sievers collector. I don’t think I ever shared this one:

Topps' Throwback Thursday has a new Star Wars set run - 3 per week

I like the simple design - so I decided to add it to my PC - here's the first 3:

Very cool. I think those will be a nice investment.

hankcaddy · March 9, 2023 4:58PM

1st is a absolute monster and a great upgrade of my 8

Nice! I've never seen a Venezuelan Sievers. Yes, I finished his graded "Basic Set" last year. Sievers was one of my dad's favorite players, so I just started collecting him when I got back into the hobby a few years ago. Not chasing the Master Set, but I grab odd ball releases, team cards, exhibits, etc...when I see them.

DBesse27 · March 9, 2023 7:03PM

Awesome! I love player collecting.

1951WheatiesPremium · March 10, 2023 12:43PM

This one arrived about 2 hours ago. So excited to kick off the weekend with a MASSIVE get for my favorite set that I am actively trying to finish. New cards from the set rarely pop up and most often they’re the stars. But some guys? Some guys just never show up. And I got one, a pretty one and with a ‘La Sortija’ back!

1946 Propagandas Montiel #92 John Kelly (Buddy) Lewis

Now just FOUR TO GO!!!

These are the ones I still need:

90 Oswald Bluege
144 Jack Sweeting
171 Jackie Myer
177 Paul Waner

Nice.
I just picked up the '69 4-in-1 with Piccolo and newly inducted 2023 Hall of Fame member Chuck Howley.

~A Career E.R.A. of 2.47 is fairly outrageous considering that the HOF committee just opened the doors for Jack Morris with a career 3.90 E.R.A.. ~2018 Heritage Chrome Superfractors 1/1

It's amazing how Kershaw seems to be underrated, despite playing in a huge media market. He doesn't rack up the innings totals that he used to, but he's been really good for a decade and a half.

I picked up a Kaline that I needed at the Philly Show last night.

BPorter26 · March 11, 2023 7:23AM

I always wanted one of these as a kid. POP 5 but there's 71 higher than the PSA 4 I purchased but the eye appeal got me. I might be wrong, but I feel Larry Bird & Magic Johnson are still undervalued compared to Jordon, Kobe and LBJ.

DougGlatt · March 11, 2023 2:31PM

Pulled this today. /4

Cladiator · March 11, 2023 3:14PM

Stone193 · March 11, 2023 3:36PM

This is no big deal.

I picked up a few packs of 2023 Topps Black and White from their web.

I thought the JRod card was pretty cool.

stwainfan · March 11, 2023 6:48PM

Added a Seaver card.

I've loved this card for a long time. Very happy to finally have it in my collection.

Here are my other pickups from the Philly Show:

lwehlers · March 12, 2023 6:16AM

i got a 89 topps tiffany set recently. the set was opened but very happy with the set.

Cladiator · March 12, 2023 12:47PM

One more for the weekend.

1951WheatiesPremium · March 12, 2023 2:44PM

@Cladiator

I find there’s a certain thrill to each of your post.

Loved the player, love the card, too.

Nice grab

Harnessracing · March 12, 2023 6:09PM

Bought this raw

Stone193 · March 13, 2023 2:45PM

I rarely buy auto cards.

I gave away an auto Jeter years ago to a sick kid here on the boards.

I just got around to picking one at what I thought would be a fair price.

dictoresno · March 13, 2023 9:27PM

these just delivered...

This Campy is off the charts! Nice!

Harnessracing · March 14, 2023 10:34AM

I expected a 7 or 8 got the number in the middle

stwainfan · March 14, 2023 12:24PM

A upgrade from a PSA 5.

hyperchipper09 · March 15, 2023 11:26AM

1st Topps CFL card I've brought in. Back to cherry picking the low to mid grade vintage with Ollie

Cladiator · March 15, 2023 11:58AM

Last card with the SF Giants.

hankcaddy · March 15, 2023 1:00PM

Nothing big but furthers my collection of items from the 1969 WS champion Mets.

1969 Mets Yearbook

The collection - might move to another area with more room.

(two WS MVP's that year)

stwainfan · March 16, 2023 11:33AM

Since I have his rookie card. I thought I would get the 2nd year as well.
