I almost never purchase a card, even if slabbed, unless it's in person. Recall this card from my early childhood likley having pulled it from either a box of yodels or ring dings.
I do wonder if this would still be a PSA10 today? Wish centering was nicer but given the low pop it could be a long time before I see another so I went after it.
Not sure why the flip scans so poorly it's does not look like that in reality
P.S. The 1982 set was the last before Drakes/Topps began offerings mail away sets. 1981's in PSA10 are easy with their white borders, but the yellow border on the 1982's makes them a challenge - glad demand is very low on these oddball cards.
Unless otherwise specified my posts represent only my opinion, not fact.
Picked up 3 more fresh looking 1963 Post cards this morning. What I didn't realize was that one of the 18 Post cards I picked up as a group and shared a couple weeks ago was actually a short print 1963 Jello (#135 Marty Keough) card.
Several pickups so far this June, including four Rose cards freshly graded by PSA and back in my hands. (I’m sneaking in the 1979 Topps PSA 8 Rose even though it was a May purchase.) The Rose run is now continuous from 1965 to 1981. Family pic included.

Well done! I enjoy player runs...nicely centered examples there.

Gibby is my favorite all-time pitcher, and I've been chasing one of these for years. Finally took the plunge and found one at a decent price for the grade. Wish the centering was better, but now my favorite in my collection.

That's a beautiful card! Congratulations!
Collecting anything and everything relating to Roger Staubach
Picked up the patch card on the left last week for $12 + $4 shipping. The one on the right was also $12 a few months ago.
In today's age of "this patch is not from any specific player or event", actual numbered, game worn patches of a HOF'er are a nice addition to my collection.

Probably one of the best mail days Ive had in a long time. Really helped out my PC.
Those are so awesome and cool. Great pick ups.
I don't collect a lot of football, but LOVE all the sets from the 70s. They all look so good and the designs are so cool. Baseball feels so bland comparatively.

I love his birdwatching look. Reminds me of the actor from 3rd rock from the sun.
I wonder why the "C" of cardinal had a straight line instead of a curve like the "s". I've always enjoyed the way they wrote the team names. Reminds me of Vegas signs years ago.

Yeah im so happy with them. Have a friend getting out of the hobby so I bought up a lot of what I didn't have. As you can tell we are both HUGE Steelers collectors. Getting close to finishing up my run of 1950 - 1989 PSA Steelers cards. Only need about 40 or 50 more.
Well, there’s always some bittersweet to go with the jubilation but I am proud to say that I was able to complete one of the tougher sets around: 1946 Propagandas Montiel Los Reyes Del Deporte. I was able to acquire 180 unique cards from a set with a clear checklist of 180 different cards. While I am still possibly shy one card, I will worry about ‘card 181’ (actually Oswald Bluege) when and if one finally surfaces. I don’t know how many “complete” sets are out there but certain cards are simply a real challenge to find because of overall scarcity. In addition, anyone starting the set today will find that this set features some cards that have now become increasingly and incredibly expensive to acquire, which will only add to the challenge. These four arrived yesterday and were scanned just now, featuring one recognizable name for fans of pre war ball.

Very nice card.
Back in the late 80s, I was stationed in St Louis and went with a friend to the Mercedes dealership with him; Bob Gibson pulled in right behind us with a "classic" Merc - he was standing next to us - license plate "Gibson" - didn't want to bother him for an auto - just said: "nice car" He returned "Thanx!" Wish there was more to the story.

The centering on 93TT is pretty abysmal.. It took many months to find a centered 9 and after some back and forth to get the deal done, here is Todd's Rookie card.. 5x All Star, 3x Gold Glove, 4x Silver Slugger, Batting Champ, Hank Aaron Award, HOF? I would think so, after he was at 72.2% in his most recent appearance. 5 more times to go on the ballot if needed.
He was also an impressive pitcher (and hitter) in college. 193 innings with a 2.24 ERA, had 47 consecutive scoreless innings.

I know, right? Hence, a little bittersweet, too. I mean, this set is/was considered one of the toughest challenges in collecting so now I must look for a new and challenging set to chase. Going to bask in the glow a bit longer first and then pull out the standard catalog to see what tickles my fancy…
Thanks for the thumbs up and the help and the encouragement along the way. I hope you all find what you seek. Good luck out there

Always loved the photos from 65-68 though the mid/late 70s run is pretty cool too.
I sold this card in a PSA 6 holder last year...and immediately regretted it. So, I bought another one with slightly better corners and color.
Well done! I enjoy player runs...nicely centered examples there.
Oh Wow...
